Think all this new fangled complicated stuff may prove far too much for my very untechnological brain. Bound to forget new supersonic password by tomorrow and I fear have already given irrelevant details. i'll see what happens anyway.ciaoalma

Alma, my advice would be to write down your password in an address book. I did that!

I've just been able to write this using my old password. Is this a temporary thing?

I registered with my old password although I was prompted to add numbers and punctuation marks to make it safer. :O

I added capitals, punctuation and numbers too but I went on the old site first today and used the old password and was then able to get onto this without putting in the new password.

My advice with this forum is ; and this only applies if you are the only user on your computer; is to not Log Out. That way you are always logged on to this site when you save it to your Favouites, and visit the page through there.

By the heck, I never even got as far as completing my ultra high security password, but here I am on Alma's thread, bound to be more confused than she is ( Ciao Alma, Derbyshire pal; it's me Paulo!) It's good to see some familiar names and yes I won't log out, but where's the Grazie button?

The "Grazie" button is "gone with the wind". Now, if you want to thank anyone you have to write it down. Perhaps it is not a bad idea, you have to think twice before you do it.

Mama Mia I'm struggling with this new format, but thank you for responding Gala because how else am I going to figure how to get going? Meanwhile, I feel slightly like something out of a Kafka short story: "Lupo has no status". Did i do something bad?

Click on Cosa Fai? Che Pensi?Which in my limited Italian means "what'ya doin?What'ya thinkin?" and type in whatever takes your fancy (as long as it's not rude!) If you click in the piazza page and scroll down to the bottom you'll see what others are doin' or thinkin'I'll be interested to see.......:)

I do not understand the 'Status' thing! How do I get rid of the bloke with a hat and post an image for my profile? :-)

Jacquie, go to your profile, then My Account, then Edit (on your left), then Picture, delete the green bloke and upload your new avatar.

Grazie!!! :-)

I cannot answer that one as I do not have a status either. We are "statusless" people

I don't understand what the status thing is all about. I have looked at what people have put but does anyone really want to hear how I feel today? Been in the garden all day , got the back of my neck burnt, feel knacked............see what I mean . I'm sure we could put something more interesting to get 'status'. Maybe, have we done something above and beyond today? Just a thought.

On the contrary I like to use "status" to communicate to others what I 'm thinking of and change it accordingly what my feelings are.

It's a Facebook thing. You write what you're doing, how you're feeling, whatever you want. There are even sites with the funniest, most clever Facebook statuses. Have some fun with it!

Thanks for the explanation Bill, I will have a look at Facebook.

Oh, I see. Well I think I will only write when I have something really interesting or exciting to impart. Not really my thing. Probably the Italian in me that I keep things close to my chest
