"I feel like TFP inspires me to be creative, thoughtful, and sensetive."

Thanks, little limey, that's what it's all about!

rat · 07-19-2003, 03:57 PM

well, it's official. the journal has saved my sanity on more than one occassion. many days I'm just chilling, feeling kinda

or I see something that makes me go

and I just post in the journal. Granted, I plug my journal in my own sig, but that's from back before the "view all journals" button, which was a great improvement. Plus it hotlinks me to my own stuff to save a click or two. I'm surprised by just how thoughtful some TFPers are to not only read, but comment with meaningful words and advise along with the encouragement they provide. Thank you all, you really do make this community home for me.

That's the kind of significance one can contribute and receive from the TFP journals!

Thanks, rat. I'm pleased it's adding value to your TFPexperience...

I've always tried to keep a journal, it just doesn't always happen to be around when I want to write in it, or I just get lazy and don't. But since I'm on the computer a lot more now, and I like typing more than handwriting, I think I will get more use out of it.

Good idea! Thanks!

ARTelevision · 08-10-2003, 08:34 AM

rock on!

write on, too!

wry1 · 08-13-2003, 04:01 PM

I will freely admit that I'm a relative newbie to the journals here - I've only got 22 or so up so far - but for those 22, I'm looking at 140 or more views and I see quite a few comments coming my way as well!

While I personally use the journal feature to let my inner smart-ass out for a well-deserved constitutional, I am at once glad and enthused that others seem to enjoy reading my thoughts, feelings, comments, cracks and (occasional) witticisms.

spived2 · 08-16-2003, 09:17 AM

I'm more of a reader then a poster here at the tfp, but I have been keeping a journal for the last couple of months. It really helps relieve a lot of the stress I have built up plus it will be great to be able to come back and read them and remember all the things that have happened to me in the past. I considered making mine private because I didn't really want to be judged on something that is really only meant for me, but as I read others I figured I might as well make it public. Who knows, someone may enjoy reading about my life.

Conclamo Ludus · 09-04-2003, 08:32 AM

I can't get enough of the journals. It would be cool if it counted towards your post-count, but this would probably end up with too much participation or people spamming their journals. I also wish you could put links and images in them too, but maybe TFP just doesn't have the resources to allow this much stuff.

After spending an hour or more commenting in other's journal, I used to really wish that my journal comments *counted* towards post-count. I rationalized though, that they count in a unique way--in the way they touch a single person--in a different way than posting to the entire community does.

I have also had the impulse to put links and images in my journal, but alas, it appears for the time being, our journals are staying a bit lower tech than the rest of the board.
That's okay with me, they still rock!

Edit: Now that I've had my daily mug of coffee, it occurs to me that one can indeed post a link in a journal.
I just don't know how

ARTelevision · 09-04-2003, 06:11 PM

well, you can always do test things like links and such on the testing board.

then, go to the edit screen and copy and paste the working code from there into your journal.

You can't put images into journals (at least you couldn't the last time I checked), but you can put links in. Just type [url]http://www.tfproject.org[/url]

Again, thanks! You are the best

ARTelevision · 09-05-2003, 04:36 AM

right.
also do try the more complex options available in the "add reply" page. you can embed a link in text, etc. (all on the testing board) and then copy and paste into your journal...eventually, you'll remember the syntax.

tinfoil · 09-23-2003, 05:58 PM

Ok, so I setup my journal, though I must say I had a bit of a time doing so. I hit the Journals button up there (/me points at screen) and saw nowhere about posting to my journal. After looking for a bit I saw a broken image icon and moused over that. Luckily the description was there so I hit it and started posting away. I wish I had taken a screenshot to prove that I am not actually drunk (right now) and that there was actually a broken image icon.

So, ya. My journal is alive. Yay me.

Rubyee · 10-11-2003, 10:05 AM

I love the jounals. It helps me to vent at work, and then at home, and sometimes just blab. It also helps to get emotions out that rarely come out in me. And, I've found that you can make "Journal Friends" by commenting on people's lives and helping to maybe give advice.

Oh, and if you want people to comment in your journal, comment in theirs- communication is a two way road.

ARTelevision · 10-13-2003, 05:35 AM

yes, thanks to all the new journal-ists.
it's a good and growing thing!

Esen · 10-20-2003, 04:13 PM

Those damn journals! They are sucking me in and now I don t post as much on the boards, its kind of like Im lost in a big corridor and a maze of hallways, Opening so many doors into other peoples minds and reading there thoughts, It is pretty rad.
I'm really enjoying the journal aspect of the boards.
Just when you think you have run into a wall the TFP opens up a little more to you.
Its a fucking awesome good time.

Heh

Sleepyjack · 10-22-2003, 09:15 AM

hehe, i started my journal the other day, after about a week ago, accidentally creating it. Interesting how it worked out. ANyway, i like to post nonsensical crap about my day there, mainly for my own amusement later on, although should be fun

ARTelevision · 10-24-2003, 03:58 PM

yes, duly noted, all!

some great new journalists.
it's a real scene!

GuttersnipeXL · 10-27-2003, 06:24 PM

I was wondering what the rules were, as far as responding to peoples entries. Sometimes I would like to respond to an entry, but the entry seems pretty personal. I just don't want to intrude on anybodies space or seem like some kind of weirdo if it's somebody I don't know. Any thoughts? Has anyone had any problems with people not respecting your space? I know that you can lock the journal up if you want, but...I don't know, help please.

spectre · 10-27-2003, 06:31 PM

The journals are very personal, however, the poster can either make the entry hidden or available to the public. If it's available for all to see, then feel free to comment. If the person wanted it to be private, they would have made it private or wouldn't have posted it. As long as you aren't posting something to flame the journal writer, I don't see a problem with commenting on any entry. That's how I see it anyway.

GuttersnipeXL · 10-27-2003, 06:35 PM

Wow...I should have asked my question here instead of members playground....maybe somebody can move it on over!

GuttersnipeXL · 11-18-2003, 04:48 PM

So how come I can't view journals anymore?? I'm signed in, I go to journals, try to view my journal, and it says I don't have access to do this...What is the story here? Oh yeah, after it says the bit about not having access, I get logged out!!!??? Help?

This happens every once in a while.
Usually you can fix it by clearing your cookies and logging in again.
Let us know if there are problems after that.

taliendo · 12-01-2003, 04:03 PM

I have enjoyed every aspect of the TFP community since I've gotten here. The journal was just an added bonus -- a chance to add to the community in a way that is completely my own. IMO a great addition to this discussion forum.
