redmanfixit Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 What the heck is "status". When I'm on my profilen near the top of the page, it says I can update it, but I haven't been able to discover actually what it is. It's probably fairly simple to find out. However I'm of an age where increasingly, I'm surrounded by technology which has features I do not understand and thus don't know what to do with! I asked Flex about this and (Gasp) he didn't know either!! Can anybody lift me from my ignorance?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 go to your profile and edit your status. Come back to one of your posts and click the little icon just to the right of your username. You will see your status in the banner for that pop-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Amish 1 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 What the heck is "status". Ha, could not agree more. I've been wondering the same. Status of what? I finally felt the urge to edit my status just to see what happens. I wrote" what status?". Guess what happened. Nothing... Someone please enlighten us. Anyone? Please?

Corey Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 maybe its b/c i was around for the beginning of the facebook/myspace era but this thread makes me laugh a little..."status" on those are updates to what your doing, etc. I just felt like making a certain statement on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Amish 1 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Corey, Exactly. I'll eventually find a status that's groovy enough to display. I was actually asking what it's for, not how to use it. It was nice of Chuck to respond that quickly, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmanfixit Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Wow! To think all these years I've been trying all this complicated stuff to change my "status" and all I had to do was log on here and enter a line and press "Save".....WOW! Thanks for all the fast responses! Now if there was just something in the Help files on this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Actually, I just wrote whatever I pleased in the "status" update thingy. I imagine it's something you could change anytime you wished. Yet another location to place secret messages or stuff like that... (like what Team Amish wrote in HIS......) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Not sure what purpose it serves here, but if you use something like ICQ, you can set the Status to let people know that you are not available (e.g., busy, out of the office, on vacation, etc).

I asked Flex about this and (Gasp) he didn't know either!! Can anybody lift me from my ignorance?? Like-"what are you doing?". I think for this forum it relates to competitive shooting. As in "watching my sights lift on every shot", "chillin' out", "shredding deathstalkers". Or it could just be like life - "let it be", "riding on","thinking about targets as I listen to Mazzy Star", etc. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Dang. Did redmanfixit just call me ignorant ??? I'm not ignorant. I just didn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I've been waiting for this thread... Because right after the upgrade, in my Profile, I set my Status to "Not sure what my status is." Man, is that the littlest icon or what. Have to come up with a more fun Status. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
