Ribh's D'Coopage

For me, the number of threads isn't the issue.

But the volume of posts/thread is a huge issue.

I can keep tagging everyone or just post a link here for those that want to follow along. If I posted a link here we could also converse here and you could avoid mine altogether maybe.

I'm just trying to figure out how to keep our core group all together. I'd hate for us to fall apart over the size and pace of my thread.

Any preference everyone? What do you think @Ribh

Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock' https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-25450390

I get tag notifications, but I won’t see the link until I come across the post. If it’s not too much trouble, I think the tags would work better. You could have them all ready to go in a notepad document and just copy and paste.

I feel sad that the core group don’t know the goings on at the Chicken Palace, but I have tried to avoid double posting as ‘too much’ seems to be the problem.
I am not sure how to solve the problem except for you to do your tagging and hope that sometimes folk look a bit past the tagged post.
I am a compulsive multi-Tasker and also a skimmer so I don’t have too much trouble, though I did struggle when I was overseas because it became big chunks of catch-up rather than a quick glance during down time.
I am sure you will think that being retired I just have more time, but I don’t seem to have figured that bit of retirement out just yet!

I’m happy for you to tag me in your posts RC.

Lozzy, I love creative stuff, too, though I’m not as talented as you. I used to be on multiple scrapbooking design teams, I can crochet, and I’m about to start my second quilt!

I’m sure you are as talented! I don’t design my scrapbook pages, I look for ideas and create my pages using the idea and my papers, photos and embellishments. The only really original stuff I do is the music.

You are having the same problem a lot of the original group is having; there is just too much to keep up properly with everyone. I lost both my BRs in 2 days ~ from old age as much as anything else. Don't worry about trying to keep up. It is always nice to see you when you can pop in.

I’m sorry you lost them, Ribh. Glad it was from old age, though.

They do not work if you copy and paste. That's why none of them worked at first. I type them in each time.

@BY Bob: one thought I had while negotiating for feed supplies @ my local produce store is a Pm for the relevant people where everyone can post any relevant posts about their flock & thus keep the posts manageable. My only real issue with the idea is its exclusiveness & I'd hate for anyone to get their feelings hurt because they weren't included & we really don't need another thread with masses & masses of posts.

I had exactly the same thoughts.

thank you so much Bob. I didn't realise you were typing them in one by one.

Great minds...!
