I repeat, what eye? This is a screen shot off my iPhone, but since I'm not using the mobile app it's exactly as it appears on my computer and iPad screens too. There is no eye. On any of them. Anywhere.

And order to get that little black box with my profile on it, I have to scroll back to my last posted post and click on my name, which is in blue, not red. My name isn't under my avatar in the reply box, which is what I THINK Banty was trying to show me.

In the overall scheme of things, these don't seem like a huge deal UNLESS you're trying to follow the directions that seem to be working perfectly for everyone else. Remember sitting in the middle desk in school when everyone else "gets it" and you just don't? Yeah, that feeling! Now I see directions and I'm afraid to try them.

Problem is I don't even know what questions to ask to get help because I don't even know anymore exactly what I'm asking for help with or how to make it clear enough for everyone to understand. I wish I'd known days ago that some things don't work on a touch screen computer. Could have saved aggravation there, that's for sure.

Okay, I'm putting away the whine bottle. This is the new platform and I'm thrilled it's working so well for all of you. I'll have to just buckle my kilt and get on with what I can do instead of focusing on what I can't.

I should have said, "on my safari browser on my laptop commuter ..I see it this way...." See what Nifty told me?

And therein lies the rub!

Hi, Blooie! You're on the right track! I type slow, so someone may beat me to it, but....

The eye won't appear when you are on the Watched Threads, because every thread on the list would have it (redundant). It only shows up for me when I'm looking at a list like New Posts which are mostly for threads I am NOT watching. But then there's one with the Eye...creeped me out til I realized what it was for. On the old BYC those posts were shaded while the others were white.

Yes, the blue lettered Name you click on is seemingly Red on Banti's screen, but that's what she meant.

Love the whine bottle!

Holy smokes! That made more sense than anything else I've tried to absorb in days! I did just what you said, and there was the "eye"! As I said, it's NOT that big a deal, until you start feeling like you are doing everything wrong while everyone else is doing everything right! Thank you thank you thank you!!
