Reminders!
Hi everyone! I love everyone in this bar! I hope to get the January count done in the weekend, so this is a final reminder to anyone who hasn't updated or added their figures to get them in today or tomorrow so they are counted! I really want 2023 to be a great year count-wise for all of us!
The other thing I'd like to mention is just to get everyone to help me out. You will notice an instruction like this in the count posts: Please use the subject line: 'Your Name's Word/Graphic Count 2023' (see mine for example), so that when I get the notifications, I can easily sort them! THANK YOU!
The reason I ask this is because all of your updated comments go to my inbox, and when I'm checking the count, it's so much easier to look at all the 'word' entries at one time and then the 'graphic' entries together, but when there's no 'subject' all the comments look the same and are much more time consuming to sort, as you'll see in this snip of my inbox:
Now, I know I can just go to the entry itself and look at all of them by scrolling down (and this is what I usually do), but I do like keeping the comments until the next month to ensure I've got everyone's count in. I have had people delete their entries and if I hadn't keep their comment a while, I'd have missed their count in the total, which I believe the comm. can have once they've shared it with us, even if they later choose to leave.
It also makes it much easier to see which are doubles when someone reedits more than once in a month (which happens) and you'll see there with Lizet's word count, I can now safely delete the earlier one, and just keep the one comment. So easy when there's a subject, but harder with the generic reply ones which I have looked at but easily get confused as to which is which once read!
So if everyone who isn't 100% sure they put their version of 'Haldoor's Word/Graphic[whichever applies] Count 2023' in the SUBJECT box (rather than the body of the comment or not at all) could go back and check, and then add it if they haven't, this would help me out a WHOLE LOT!
And I apologise to the people I've made an example of in the snip; it just seemed the easiest way to point this out - it's not intended as finger-pointing or a scolding AT ALL. I know how easy it is to miss these things in a long post, or you mean to do it but it just doesn't happen. All I'm doing here is just asking you to help me, as my life seems crazy at the moment, and I know yours probably does too, so if you don't get to it, I am not going to hit you over the head, I promise!!! ;-)
