Just so I'm clear...

**PC101** · 09-09-2006, 03:04 AM

When looking at the "Balance" column on my Subscribed Forums. If it's - 3 (minus 3) does that mean I owe them three posts to make us even or they owe me three posts to make us even?

Or... does it reflects where they stand with everyone in PF, over all??

Thanks!

i think it means their balance, if its next to their forum in the subscribed forums page. Not sure, i haven't used PF in some time.

**PC101** · 09-09-2006, 03:31 AM

Hmm... I've joined 5 or 6 different forums, posted on each and I'm not completely sure if they've reciprocated. I want to be sure that I'm putting time and effort into the right forums!

You are best to post at the ones at the very top of the list, so that if you reduce the post blanace of the ones at the top, you will be moving up yourself as well.

Yeah but... I'm SO booked with stuff I wanna be sure the posts I make will come back to me... sort to speak.

At the typing of this post the first page of the forum list... websites #1 through #25... represent nearly 3900 posts! That's a heck of a lot of ground to make up! So, I have to be judicious on where I post.

Some of the forums are under one owner though. I think I have four in the top 25. The post count is for them total. So four posts on each forum would reduce it down by 16 posts.

Currently #2 and #3 are the same owner, just like #4-#9 is the same owner.

I just went through and signed up on forums I have some interest on, and find it goes by that much quicker. Before you know it, you'll rank up some posts.

Ahh... well, that makes things a lil less scary!

Yup, nothing to be scared about. I was a little intemidated at first. But I joined a few forums, and tried it out, went smoothly and joined some more. Now I just spend an hour or two every few days going through forums, and once a week I try to go through the whole list and look for new forums. Before you know it you will be up there too.

Also, PC101, just because you sign up at another PF forum does not mean they will return the favor and sign up at your forum. There's nothing in the rules that say that has to be done, although I think it would be nice if others did that. The biggest part of PostFusion is to get your balance up so you are near the top of the list. Then when new people come along, they are more likely to see your forums first when choosing which forums they want to participate at. I hope that help to explain a little bit if you weren't sure about that one part.
