I see on my profile how many ovations I've received but how do I know how many I've given out?

Did you get them from Matt?

Yes!

Quote:
Wow, what a treasure you have!

Your experience working with your Campines will help you "find" what Bob bred into those RIRs even if they weren't the best of Matt's flock. Be sure to keep us posted on your progress with them.

Culls or not, those are light years above the vast majority of RIR.

They are truly lovely.

Hey Wisher, I really like your signature name. - Tin Star Poultry.

Thank you, everyone! I get a warm feeling in my heart when I look at those birds.... I think about Bob.

CC - That is my farm name. It has many links to my life.
There is the obvious link to my profession.
My last name is Marshall.
One of the first, and best, gifts my DH ever gave me was a set of faux rusted three dimensional tin stars, like you see everywhere now, but that was 20 years ago. I have always had them displayed in my home, since then.
The first standard bred birds I ever owned came from Texas, the lone star state.

It just seems to be fitting!

Yesterday with all the talk about ovations, I checked mine out. It says how many were received etc. and ALSO said how many I have given out. ( not enough I'm afraid)

Click on the link that says ovation:



Then about the middle of the page look for the number given:

I feel like I should be giving more ovations too.

Same here, I've been doing so for a little while now.

Wisher, I figured it was your farm name. Just wanted to say how clever it was.

Then about the middle of the page look for the number given:

So I guess that's my problem (just one I'm afraid) as I'm obviously way too liberal with my pats on the back:

• Unique Ovation97

• Latestarter received (197)
• Latestarter gave (910)

My numbers are disproportional I guess. I HAVE been unlocked this morning but haven't given any out yet. I have no idea how many I even have available to give.

 

[drumstick diva]

Hurry give me some ovations before you run out Latestarter.

 

[Tumbling K]

since you are unlocked, you could count how many you can give.

Thanks for the ovation "boost" @ronott1 and @BertS

I can't find any numbers anywhere that says how many I have available to give... daily or otherwise... I don't want to just start handing out ovations till I run out so I can count how many I was allowed... Then I'd be out again...

I think maybe now I'll just have to become an "ovation hoarder" and stockpile them... saving them up for only the most special/deserving posts... and even then I won't give them since I may run out! jeeeze... So I guess I'll just have to move along and when I run out, I run out.

With 50 THOUSAND+ posts @drumstick diva you must have a plethora of ovations received as well as available to you to give! My ratio of ovations to posts is running at about 18-19%, so it stands to reason that you must have 10 thousand or so ovations... I don't have as many unique ovations, less than 1% of posts... because I don't post all over the site... I pretty much stay on 6-8 threads. Oh well... not really affecting my overall quality of life...

OK, enough obsessing over ovations... Life is moving past and much more important!
