Is there a wave symbol? Sometimes I see a little hand but where ? If not please can we have a wave sign?

WHAT??

Too many symbols on here already.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 22/02/2012 23:17

Although, do tell why you'd like it, please.

Ah that would be those whose profile is public - if you hover over Chaos' name for instance, there is a little hand, whereas your's is not public and it just shows the cursor. Means you can enter her profile so to speak Smile

some random apostrophes going on there - sorry!

Me, again ?

Trills there's an unanswered thread that you might be able to help on - how to get on DM site with giving them the hits iyswim?

I have titsytposy running through my head, but that's wrong. Sad

Trills · 22/02/2012 23:43

Not you Chaos.

I have decided that since people post non-AIBU questions in AIBU I should be allowed to tell people that they are BU even if they haven't asked.

I do sometimes wonder how people manage to navigate the internet enough to find and sign up to MN if they haven't yet noticed that a pointy hand means "this is a thing you can click on".

Then again my mum didn't know that a triangle pointing to the right meant "play"...

Trills · 22/02/2012 23:44

istyosty, but it got shut down

ChaosTrulyReigns · 22/02/2012 23:49

Oh so close.

So there's no way to circumnavigate the bouncer on the door of the website with the clicker then, now?

Your mom sounds about as technologically advanced as mine. Grin

Naah it was the omission of [wunk] that cut me to the core.

No, all your looking at the Daily Mail now gets counted and so their advertisers pay lots of money to them because of all the traffic (Some advertising is on a cost-per-click basis but others pay on a cost-per-how-many-looks-it-gets basis) so just don't look.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 23/02/2012 00:34

I hear you.

drywhiteplease · 23/02/2012 07:23

Thanks for info....still it completely au fait with all MN little bits and pieces but have been hooked since I started early Jan.have discovered, though, that AIBU a bit of an angry place....much prefer S+B.

Did this get moved? Because it's not in AIBU, so Trills' answer makes no sense.

Of course, I also agree with Trills. I can't figure out how a good portion of the population navigate the 'net most days. Especially self proclaimed Luddites.

Trills · 23/02/2012 09:14

Tee - I explained myself :)

I have decided that since people post non-AIBU questions in AIBU I should be allowed to tell people that they are BU even if they haven't asked.

Tee2072 · 23/02/2012 09:54

Sorry Trills I misread what you said!!!

Trills · 23/02/2012 10:00

Sometimes people are just being unreasonable, I find :o

drywhiteplease · 23/02/2012 13:40

I hate the AIBU tread (apart from at christmas)...too angry....AIBU to say that?

OP posts:
drywhiteplease · 23/02/2012 13:41

Btw what is a troll?

OP posts:
Trills · 23/02/2012 13:43

A troll is someone who posts misleading things (or just outright lies) in order to get a reaction - to get people to argue or to make them feel sad or to try to get money.
