How to write a private message on LJ? Easy? NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!!

[aearwen2]

I'm getting pissed.

There are times I want to write a private message to one of my f-list; and do you think that LJ makes it easy to find the link to open the message window?

No.

I look, and I look - and very rarely, I stumble over the proper set of clicks to get me where I want to go.

But never when I *NEED* to do it.

C'mon, LJ!! Is it so bloody hard to put a "leave a private message" link somewhere OBVIOUS?!?!?!?!

Social networking my left elbow!

>>I actually have the Hover setting On.<<

But is it actually working now, then? Because sometimes, LJ is just ... weird. lol

About those neat avvies on your HD: Exactly how neat? *bats eyelids*

Uh...

OK... How do I show them off?

ETA: Yeah, hover's working. I really feel dumb! :-p

Well, don't!! We've all been there. LJ is not the most user-friendly, IMO, but one gets used to it after a while. ;-)

Did you upload the userpics to LJ, with the URL or whatever? Don't forget to 'save' the page (at the bottom) before you leave it!

When you write post, you can now select a pic from the dropdownlist above the box in which you write (don't mess with the other things up there, at least not just yet).

Of course you can also select pic when you comment - the list's right above the message box.

Ah-HAH!!!

After fiddling with this, I finally figured out that I needed to hit the "Browse" button.

This one, I think, reflects my mood fairly accurately... :-D

Oh, sorry - I should have explained it better, but I thought you already had them uploaded.

Wow, that's one mean little kitty!! *g*

LOL!

I have a couple to express my less-than-serene self... But I like this one.

Yeah - I have about 10 or 11 uploaded. Now that I know how, I'm gonna have to play with them more.

lol - yes, they are quite useful to express one's mood, aren't they?

Lovely one you've got there, too. :-)

Mine are mostly primitive, homemade ones, but that's OK for woodelfing, IMO.
