Howdy all

[james haw]

Hi all,

Just joined here hoping to learn a bit about domain trading. Have dabbled a bit, but still much to learn.
Been through the "I have it all figured out stage" years ago, buying stupid names at first thinking "How has everyone else missed these little nuggets". Yes, nuggets of something we flush away unfortunately..
eg I registered an international corporate company name with a 1 instead of i. Emailed the company asking if they wanted to buy it. They just replied no, and now am just glad nothing legal came of it.

My username is Hawanaeo for one simple reason. I got sick of trying to find an available username I wanted/liked at registration. So put something random in out of frustration and unfortunately I'm stuck with this **** now (I won't do that when buying domains..)
Stupid really, I have to look up to remember what I'm called.

If you respond to me feel free to shorten my name, "Haw" or whatever, or James (not that I expect anyone to remember).
Or call me what you want, I won't be offended

Cheers

Thanks for the welcomes

Where can I find info about likes (what they affect etc), thanks, NP$, established member?
Read the Intro section but doesn't seem to contain any of this (or I couldn't find it).

I'm getting liked, and feel anti-social not liking back, so have done so :D but not sure exactly what it does or does not do etc.

Thanks for that info Arca, will have a looksie

A recent Likes VS Thanks discussion.
and
Membership levels.

 

[james haw]

First link was spot on thanks.(Although doesn't say why I cannot like and thank the same post)
I already read the second link and links from it, but it doesn't explain what makes one an Establish member - ie total posts, total likes, member since, etc

 

[Arca]

I'm not sure about the specifics of the new member --> established member change (maybe somebody else can chime in), but if you just keep using your account, and make a few posts here and there, it usually changes into "established member" status pretty quickly

 

[james haw]

Fair enough. Not in a rush really, the restrictions aren't too bad.

Thanks again

A few common tips to help:

• Trophies are explained here: https://www.namepros.com/help/trophies
• Alerts will notify you of any replies to threads you're participating in or have selected to "Watch." They help keep you informed with activity on the site that may be of interest to you, similar to Facebook Notifications.
• Thanks are actually converted to Likes, so if you Thank someone for their post, you're also Liking the post at the same time. That's why you can only do one. They mean slightly different things to different people: https://www.namepros.com/threads/like-vs-thank.866691/
• Likes also show up in the activity feed: https://www.namepros.com/recent-activity/
• Following on NamePros is similar to following on Twitter. When you follow someone, you will see only their activity on your News Feed: https://www.namepros.com/account/news-feed
  • This provides an easy way for you to keep up with the posts from people on the site that you're interested in following, without having to see everything else posted across the entire site by other members. For instance, you'll be able to see posts and activity solely from friends or influential people in that feed, similar to Twitter.
  • Note: You can still the posts and activity of all members by using the Recent Activity page: https://www.namepros.com/recent-activity/

I hope that helps!
