Tonight, I got home, sat at my desk and found I had three U2Us waiting for me.
It was like Christmas.
But something struck me as different.....odd even... Then it hit me!
The fear was completely gone. (at least I think it was)
I'll explain...
Since the days of the simple U2U text notification in the upper right-hand corner to the
RED U2U bar notification, I have
always had a moment of anxiety before clicking to see the potential doom. Why potential doom? Well, the truth is I have had my share of run-ins with
the T&C. Too much quoted....wrong forum...already posted...shouldn't have done this....shouldn't have done that...and much more.
I even managed to break some rules that weren't even in the T&C! I'm not kidding.
Let's just say I obviously learn slowly. But I rarely meant to break any of the rules.
So when I would get a U2U, it was literally something I feared. In the early days no one ever really U2Ued me to say something friendly, so if I got
one it was usually one of two things-- a board announcement or a reprimand.
*sigh*
Sure the applause and friendlies eventually came at a consistent pace, and the reprimands less so. But I never really got over the initial anxiety
when seeing a U2U notification. The Pavlovian response had been set.
So what does any of this have to do with my favorite new feature of the board? Not much, really, but I promised to dedicate my next wordy thread to
12m8keall2c and I really did want to mention how much I like the new U2U notification window.
So I'm killing two birds with one stone.
Truly a work of art. Thank you SO!
It may make little sense to most, but I really love this one.
