How to create your own information storage area

sas-schatzi

This topic is for instructions on how to create your own information storage place. I have a private topic box and a public topic box. Wish I had them from day one. Hope this is useful to you.

How to use: 2 methods

First method: Read the instructions and do it. Type message in topic box:" Hi, this is my own personal storage space, I would appreciate it that no one posts here. Thanks.(or whatever you decide)"

Second method

1. Copy instructions from this box by highlighting the section and then click on clrl -C,

2. Then go to the top of this page and click on " All topic>Forum: Recommend your resources" click on new topic--title topic by your screen name & type title i.e. "My personal storage area, Sas-Schatzi".

3.Then put the cursor in box and hit ctrl-v to paste instructions in box. After you have created your own topic box you can delete the instructions. This step is only here if you aren't used to creating your own topics.

4. From drop down box at bottom click on "Add to your Favorites without email updates".

5. First post : Hi, this is my own personal storage space, I would appreciate it that no one posts here. Thanks.(or whatever you decide).

6. For complete privacy (or near privacy) always click on "EDIT" and re-enter your first post. Continue using the same first post for all entries. Within a day the topic will fade away into the computer netherworld.

7. If you don't care about privacy post at will.

Great idea, Sassy. Merci!

Hopeful, Danka (think that's right?) I've had the private one for years. Just did the public one awhile ago. Hopeful, you know some technical posts I put allot of time into. They are lost to the ages. I did a thing years ago and put it in the Just Diagnosed- Get Prepared thread. Rewrote it today and did the box.

Hi, Sassy - It's actually spelled 'danke' but pronounced more or less as you've written it - good call. I know you've put a LOT of work into many of your posts that continue to benefit all of us. But, as you state, many are lost to the ages. That's one technical issue that I do wish BCO could tackle. In the meantime, you've devised a functional work around that I hope lots of readers will see. I know I wish I'd thought of it a long time ago!

Thanks again!
