Ahhh Girl said in the usual Beatles Bible way

Silly Girl said in the usual Silly Girl way, with a great deal of dramatic rubbish attached to make it not just plain “said” 

I think I’m the only one who isn’t notified when someone @s me? How Do You Do It ? Is it Something in settings? a-hard-days-night-john-7

Do you see the a list at the top of your page that looks something like this
@-mentions.JPGImage Enlarger

You should see them (your @ notifications) without having to change any settings. In fact, I’m not even sure you can turn them off.?.? I’ll look and see if @Starr Shine? doesn’t already know the answer a-hard-days-night-george-10

Nooooooo…………… 

There’s something wrong with me. I knew it. I’ve been suspecting for years and now I know!!!!! IT’S A CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! paul-mccartney a-hard-days-night-george-10

Tis a mystery. a-hard-days-night-ringo-4I will head over to my profile and see what I can see. a-hard-days-night-john-3

trcanberra wondered aloud 
atted

Is that even a thing?

And over to the Zigtionary immediately thereafter, @trcanberra. Don’t worry. heart

EDIT: I just went to my global settings. Apparently I was opted out of receiving @  notifications. I don’t know why; I haven’t looked at it since joining. But I amended it, so I will now be attable. 

Next stop, Zigtionary. a-hard-days-night-george-9

@Beatlebug Congratulations on making it to Candlestick Park. You’re heading up at a rate of knots.

If you want to explore the forum rankings, look towards the top of the page, below any @notifications you’ve got, on the right hand side of the page, you’ll see a “Select Forum” box, below that you’ll see a button with a medal on it, press that and it will take you to a page that shows all the forum rankings, and if you press “view” on any of them, it will display those currently on that level.

These are the Forumpudlians who’ve made it to the Rooftop:

Mr. Kite, IveJustSeenAFaceo, Annadog40, Ahhh Girl, trcanberra, WETSRoosa, Expert Textpert, AppleScruffJunior, Sky999, LongHairedLady, Linde, DrBeatle, Egroeg Evoli, Ron Nasty, Funny Paper, parlance, fabfouremily, unknown, Into the Sky with Diamonds, meanmistermustard, Necko, StarWisher, The Walrus, PennyLane, mr.

Thanks everyone! I feel so loved hearta-hard-days-night-george-10

D’you think I can get to the top by tomorrow, as @georgiewood said over in all-purpose questions? Now that I’m at Candlestick, I can afford to quit touring and focus on recording. It’s getting to be such a drag, what with all the screams and death threats. a-hard-days-night-john-2a-hard-days-night-paul-3ahdn_george_07a-hard-days-night-ringo-2

No, please, no. A “how fast can I make it to the rooftop” mentality is what led to the closing of the Milestones thread. We want people to keep making excellent, quality posts like they have been doing (congrats to all our newer members on the solid, enjoyable posts), and reach the rooftop the proper way.

While looking forward to greeting you on the rooftop, I really hope not. On your current count of 515, you’d need to post 475 times today/tomorrow to make it to the roof tomorrow. I doubt all those would be good!

Some people, as mentioned elsewhere, posted a lot of garbage to make it to the roof, and had many of us tearing our hair out. They shall remain nameless.

You’ve made it halfway in a month by making useful, intelligent and appreciated contributions to the forum – proving you’re far from a Silly Girl. Keep up the good work and you’ll join us on the roof soon enough.

Oh, did I forget to add my extra-large value-sized Georgewink? Well, here it is.

You know I was being (as usual) completely tongue-in-cheek. Apples, peace, love, and Rubber Soul (that’s what I’m listening to now). apple01heart

Never fear, mods and rockers and otherwise. I would never stoop to such lows. After all, the Beatles wouldn’t put out a pot-boiler any-old-thing-would-do for a Christmas LP, so why should I try to get to the top in three days by posting 1,000 rubbish posts? hearta-hard-days-night-john-1a-hard-days-night-george-3ahdn_paul_01a-hard-days-night-ringo-2heart

If you enjoy intelligent conversation on the forum that’s the way to go.

I feel partially responsible for the issue above. When AD40 and I joined we had a little ‘rooftop race’ as a joke, and the last 100 or so we’re not necessarily intelligent posts on our part.

We meant it as a bit of fun, and I apologize to anyone who was bothered. A few new members joined after seeing that and took the rooftop rank as the goal, not discussion. That lead to the Milestone shut down.
