Praise Danneaux for EASE OF LOGGING IN to the Thorn Forum

[Andre Jute]

I don't know if Dan set up the forum to be considerate of the members' time when he renewed the forum several years ago, or whether he chose software for being human-friendly, but either way he gets the credit.

Especially, I must say, compared to Facebook, which every time I want to log in to my group for other writers, Indie Authors International, sends me on a runaround which can consume anything from twenty minutes to twenty hours of my time, and does it several times a day. You'd really think that Meta, with all its billions and umpteen thousands programmers, would do better than a single volunteer, but you'd be wrong. Signing in to the Thorn Forum by contrast to Facebook is a two-click operation and then you're in.

Hurrah for simplicity! Thanks, Dan.

A global Thank You, Andre, for the kind comment! Though a bit clunky and old, our Forum software is nicely tunable to need and I've set it up for a balance of convenience and security.

If members experience problems, they are always welcome to contact me via Forum PM and I'll see the note when I logon. Keep in mind my 8-hour time offset from ThornLand; I could be asleep when you contact me.

Note in advance: If you can't logon and need me, I'm available through this username at the "big G" mail provider.

This is a good time to express my gratitude for our membership and their mutually supportive, "let's help" nature and kindly demeanor. It is a pleasure and honor to be associated with this community.

Best, Dan.

I don't always agree with Andre, but in this case 100%, thanks Dan.

Yes, the login does work nicely for me too, and thanks Dan.

Since we're on the topic of forum architecture, one thing I've missed here is the ability to "like" someone's post. When this option first popped up on my favourite motorcycle forum, Adventure Rider, I thought it was annoying gimmick. But I've realised it allows members to endorse someone's remarks without having to create a new post that merely endorses what a prior poster has said.

Case in point: the original post here from Andre. Which might have garnered many more likes than it's picked up replies.

I'm guessing the background software doesn't allow it.
