Green Icon Reminders Alert You About New Messages was created by Carsonite
The thrill of expectation gives discussion board participants motivation to keep logging onto C4OA's Web site.
It's exciting to visit this site and see that members have posted new messages. It's like walking through your neighborhood and saying hello to people you pass by, or visiting your local tavern and catching up on the latest news, or participating in any other social activity that gives us a break from our routine lives.
I don't know if all of you are aware that this discussion board automatically creates GREEN icons with the phrase New Messages whenever new messages have been posted since your last visit. These GREEN thing-a-ma-jigs are great reminders to keep us updated on these new messages.
If it were not for these GREEN alerts, we would have to rely solely on the Recent Discussions search tool that I discussed in another thread in the How to Use the Discussion Board Forum category. If this forum didn't create the GREEN alerts and we didn't use the Recent Discussions option, we would be at a loss as to where to start every time we revisited this site.
Below is an image of a page full of GREEN alerts. This page appeared when a person who hadn't visited the C4OA Web site in months finally logged on again. (If this many GREEN alerts appeared after an absence of only a day or two, we would know that this forum was finally living up to its full potential—new messages and new replies everywhere!)
Whenever you log on to this discussion board, please make sure you read every new message that has been posted since your last visit. If you aren't seeing the alerts, feel free to contact us through email or a phone call (775-322-4455) to see what's wrong.
One thing to keep in mind is if you log on to the discussion board and ignore the alerts, they will dissappear the next time you log on. New alerts might appear, but the old ones you ignored will be gone. If this happens, you will need to check in with the Recent Discussions section to bring yourself up to date.
Go GREEN!
