RECOMMENDED Discussions and Journals...

12 Recommendations

Since I have been on this site the end of December 2009,
there has been a wealth of information posted.
Sometimes I forget where it was or the title.

If you look below the orange columns you will see a gray area.
The third one in says "Recommended".
When reading a Discussion or Journal post,
you will find to the right a bordered box.
in it it says O Recommended or 2 Recommended etc.
This is to show how many readers have recommended the post.

If you believe the information you are reading would benefit others with it's content,
You can check that you recommend it.
The more it is recommended, the more it moves up on the list.

It is easier for me to go to the Recommended column
to try and find something that I read.
It is also a way to find something I missed that might have some real value for me.

Just a FYI thought that I wanted to share.

NEW INFO ADDED~
June 19th~

Thought of something else to add.

If you remember a particular person over others,
you can go to their profile.
If they have written Discussions or Journals,
they will be shown on the left side below
the personal info.
You can see the titles and click on them.
