🔥 New CATEGORY Alert

Greetings, SAS! When we create/open a new Category, we’ll announce it here in this thread, so be sure to set this to “tracking” so you aren’t the last to know.

NEW CATEGORY

• Reviews & Recommendations

The Reviews & Recommendations category is a private space to offer reviews and seek recommendations for third-party apps, services, software, and tools for your online retail business.

This category is not visible to the public or new/limited users.

Category Guidelines

1. Any SAS member can create a topic in this category.
2. Please search by the name of the app/service before posting. If a topic already exists, please post your review/recommendation/question as a reply in that topic, instead of starting a new topic.
3. If your new topic is about a specific app/service, then your topic title should be only the name of that service, and your OP (original post) should include a (non-affiliate) link to its official website.

Heck, lets go with it, I wouldn’t mind turning the clock back 20 years on occasion!!! A time machine category (or at least a thread for it) might be a good Idea!!!

[papy]

SAS IS PUBLICLY VIEWABLE, except for the Handmade Booksellers and SAS Confidential (members only) categories, which are PRIVATE categories. Topics and replies are not viewable by the public or anonymous users.

• Any SAS member (who is not brand new) can see SAS Confidential (members only).
• SAS members must be manually added to the @Handmade group, after vetting, to see the Handmade category.
• SAS members must be manually added to the @Booksellers group, after vetting, to see the Booksellers category.

There are some other subcategories that are also PRIVATE, as indicated by the lock icon, as below:

SAS members may delete their own posts in all categories at any time by selecting the trash can icon at the bottom of a post, or by flagging a post for mods to delete. NOTE: SAS staff can always see all versions of edited or deleted posts.

@papy

set this to “tracking”

We looked and we looked but we failed to see how this is done …
Can you please explain how one might achieve this “tracking” of the thread?

Consider it as helping an old and challenged relic of the past.

Awesome!!

@Lost_My_Marbles

Can you please explain how one might achieve this “tracking” of the thread?

Very happy to! Scroll down to the bottom of any topic to a drop down menu beneath the “Topic Controls” that probably currently says “Normal” (See yellow arrow; mine is automatically set to “Watching” because I’m the OP) and change it to “Tracking” (See all the red arrows).

You can also see a “Mute” option (See green arrow), in case there are topics that you never want to see again.

Clear as mud?

[Medic]

Thanks for pointing this out, I didn’t notice it before!!

Hmm… I’m not a new user, so I must be a limited one…

[papy]

@Gandalf

so I must be a limited one…

Not that I can see. I’ll poke around. Thanks for letting us know!

[papy]

@Gandalf can you see it now? It was previously “everyone,” but now I’ve added all user categories individually, too.

And can others please let me know whether they can/not see MakerPlace by Michaels ???

[Lost_My_Marbles]

We can see it now …

{{{ now that kind of reminds us of “Can you hear me now?” }}}

@papy

…

Yes, I can - but I didn’t face the same problem as did our friend @Gandalf, as I could see it from the get-go…

[papy]

@Dogtamer

as I could see it from the get-go…

It was set so that literally anyone could, so I’m thinking @Gandalf experienced a glitch.

I’m hoping they don’t mind that I announce that their SAS account is and was under zero restrictions or mutes that might possibly have contributed, if extant.

So I’m safe to shelve my #FreeGandalf hash-tag, I take it?
