    @Songbird if you haven't already discovered it, all you need to do is hover your cursor over the symbols at the bottom of someone's post and it will tell you what they are. :)

    Clicking on any of them would give that person a rating point. :blue thumb: The rating points just show how many people have liked their posts enough to bother to rate them.

    Of course, if you have been around GC long enough those points build up but, sadly, there is no prize for it. :heehee:

      Morning everyone, Sun is shining this morning. Just read back.....thank you so much @Perki and @shiney for the explanation of the symbols
      I've used some of them already....but did wonder what some of them were, especially the last two. Although maybe I should go to Sp**k$*v**$ I thought they looked like a carrot and a leek :scratch::heehee::heehee:
      I'll get my coat!

          Thanks for the symbols and ratings explanation @shiney. I, too, thought they were a carrot and a leek! Oops :redface::heehee: I can’t hover though, on ipad and I don’t have a cursor. Perhaps I need to practise hovering, I could hover around the house, the garden, hmmm , may be a nice pastime.:loll:

              @shiney, ha ha! That would be a sight for sore eyes, wouldn’t it? I’m practising soon though, hover, hover……I’ll let you know!

                I didn’t realise that was a spanner! I too thought it was carrot! But just assumed that carrots would be rated useful in a gardening forum.

                  @Ergates I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thought it was a carrot! I thought the last one was a leek :dunno::heehee:

                      Im feeling completely up the creek without a paddle on here.
                      Not a clue how to get back in touch with my Gardening Crafter friends or how to post Pics.

                      So Hello to anyone I "know" Im missing you all:sad:

                        Pics are easy, @Valley Gardener. Just type whatever words you want in your post (if any) and then click on the little symbol of a mountain in a frame (beside the smiley). Then you can choose the pic you want from your photo album and upload it. It takes a few seconds and then when the blue line gets to 100%, the option to put it in the post appears.

                        How to find specific other people, I'm not sure of. I can't seem to locate a members' list or similar. :scratch: You can follow people, but only once you've found them, of course.

                        I don't know whether there's a crafters thread on here @Valley Gardener . If there is, it would probably be in the off-topic discussions section Off-Topic Discussion. And if there isn't, maybe you could start one?

                        If you pop in to "Yawn Yawn Wakey Wakey 2024" thread (also in off-topic, here - https://www.gardenerscorner.co.uk/forums/the-muppet-show.57/) you'll probably see some familiar names and maybe some who are using slightly different names (I was JennyJ over on GW).
