As there is a Halloween Creative Writing Competition going on right now, I would suggest waiting, and possibly starting off in November with a new Creative Writing Challenge, and asking @kath72 if she would like to start a home-made thread for Christmas under the new subTag if you decide to go ahead.

I would need two threads - one for Entries and one for Comments to keep them separate. 💐💐💐🤡

Oki then! It sounds like we are ready to see what the other members think of this.

I will hopefully have some time at the end of the week(: if I do take too long with this nudge me ) to pop something in contribute. If any of you want to take the lead and maybe post send me a PM 🙂

Morning jesi23

As @roxy_r discussed here, I've now created a Run by you secondary tag within GD 🙂

I'll mark this thread now as resolved 🙂

ianmorland I've now created a Run by you secondary tag within GD

Sorry but I get "The page you requested could not be found. " and there's no sign of Run by You in the navigation menus or in the Tags view!?

roxy_r

Update: based on the last discussion we will rethink the name if the tag and pop it back out 🙂

ianmorland it certainly is a roller coaster ride this morning! 😮

endorphin I failed to let Ian know yesterday about the twist with the name that I shared with you guys so I’ve asked him to hide it for now until we decide on a name

Hi Jes, I have to admit that I am also quite lost on this new platform and have had no luck finding the CWC, apart from this thread, so hope the it is still running. If so, could you please let me know with an @ mention and I'll be able to find it from there. Many thanks. I also hope you are well and staying warm and dry. I shall try to keep in touch but the mysteries of the new format are still baffling me.

I also want to say hello to @kath72 and my other friends from the CWC. I shall be in touch soon but have had a hectic time of late and little free time. Meanwhile, hope you are well too. Take care, my friends.

Hi! The last CWC was the ‘Summer’ edition (on Examinations) which stretched over August/September. It was ‘stickied’ for a little while, but, as there are no separate groups when All Discussions are shown, all the stickied threads showed, so they were ‘un-stickied’ … so there were no further entries or even reactions.

There was no point in starting a new topic until a new method of attracting attention was found on our NEW PLATFORM … which is what this thread is all about: what to call a new TAG or SUB-TAG under which to post all the ‘Run-by-you’ threads we used to have ‘stickied’ in GD.

do you have any suggestions on a suitable secondary TAG? I have added my take on this in this thread

Happy New Year @jesi23 - hope 2020 will be a good year for you and your family. Sorry for not being in touch before now but it's been a hectic few months recently with various appts, some on-going, and I am having increasing trouble using this new platform as I can find very little and many of my PMs, especially the more recent ones prior to the change, have disappeared. After a few attempts to access a thread, I have to give up if I have no success. Anyway, I wish you all the very best for 2020 and if and when there is a new CWC, please tag me in so I can actually find it! Many thanks and all good wishes.

jesi23

polowoman Many thanks and all good wishes

I get quite tired trying to keep up with some things - some I simply go to All Discussions and flick down through, or even go to TAGs or Following. Once you find a thread you want to keep up with, managing to ‘follow’ the thread means you can find the particular thread easier if you choose the ‘following’ tag to see what is new.

Hi @jesi23 - Many thanks for your message and helpful reply. However, I still seem to have no luck finding anything I am looking for, either via All Discussions or following a tag. I just feel as if I am submerged in a sea of threads and posts without being able to locate the ones I am looking for. All I can rely on is clicking on the link within any email notifying me of a message and then go to the message from there. As a result, I am in the dark about so much happening within the giffgaff Community. I found your thread by chance yesterday and decided to write. Knowing your user name is good but the problem is so many of my PMs have been lost and contacting anyone is only possible unless I can remember people's user names correctly. However, I shall persevere and will keep in touch. Meanwhile, have a good evening and take care, my friend.

@polowoman if you let me know what you are looking for, I might be able to find some and @ mention you on the thread. As long as you have set up your preferences in your profile settings, you will get the message to catch up …

Where I have found old PMs, I have been able to reply. I think most have been grouped into conversations, but maybe they were replies in the first place ~ and Flarum has organised them into ‘conversations’ from the old Inbox and Outbox lists.

@jesi23 -Thanks so much for your mesage and kind offer. My main interest is if and when the CWC re-starts and any threads related to it, also the instalments of the story @robbietalk is writing (though for this I usually receive an emai alerting me to this). I recently updated my settings and continue to receive emails with notifications so if you are involved in any of the above, an @ mention would be great as it would ensure I don't miss the posts. Thanks so much, my friend, and I hope you are having a good Sunday and the coming week will be smooth running. We are hoping for that here, having had 3 electrical items going wrong within a few days of each other last week. The toaster and husband's shaver have now been replaced and we are going to try them out this afternoon. Thanks very much again, and I shall keep in touch.
