In this topic, you can go off-topic! If you want to talk about something, but it's not worthy of its own topic, this is the place to talk about it! There is no specific thread to follow, you can post here whatever you want (within the rules, of course)

Having a bad day? Tell us about it. You saw a funny meme? Share it here! Something awesome happened to you and you want to share it? You are in the right place.

Oh that makes sense! Take that, ninja-spammers! ☠️

After receiving some feedback, I reduced the 'My Fan Clubs' block under profile photos from 9 random clubs down to 3. This should still encourage Fan Club discovery, but it should also cut down on the scrolling quite a bit on desktop. Let me know if you have any thoughts.

Nice! It looks better. Can we choose our top 3 somehow? Or maybe display first the ones we created? If not, it still looks better and it's a nice addition!

EDIT:

OOHH, it changes everytime you post! Mine are different from my previous post. Nevermind what I said, this is awesome!

Yup! I have it set to show three random Fan Clubs, so each post can feature different clubs. I think that's the best way to show more Fan Clubs to members, giving them more opportunities to find ones they're interested in.

The other options are to sort them by name or to sort them by latest activity, which I considered. I want to make sure all Fan Clubs have a chance to get noticed and Latest Activity limits that right now. As the site grows, there's a chance I switch to sorting by the latest activity.

I do like the idea of choosing the three, but I don't have a way to make that happen right now.

I think it being random is the best!

Random it is, then! If a change makes sense down the road, such as too many inactive Fan Clubs being shown, then I'll take another look 🙌

Taco night tonight 😎

We've been doing way too much fast food, and not enough tacos, during the move. It's unpacking day, though! 🙌

Awesomeeee!! Unpacking day, let's go! 📤

One feeling I love is having the house in order, and when you unpack is the perfect moment to set things up the way you like them.

I love putting it together, but getting all the small boxes in places feels like it takes FOREVER.

POD #2 comes tomorrow, which means we will have a TV again 🙌🙌🙌

Yay!!! Before you know it you will be settled in fully.

Feels like we're settling in much quicker than I could've imagined. I have a 5 and 3-year-old, and just registered my 5-year-old for Kindergarten this morning.

Awesome! They are going to be fine 🙂

Speaking of settling in, it's been 2 months since I started working in this new company, and I feel so dumb already. I know it takes time, more than 2 months to fully grasp a new job but I feel so incompetent. I hope I can do this, it's a great job and I don't want to mess it up!

Has anyone shown concern over how you're progressing? If not, I wouldn't be concerned. With time, I'm sure it'll be second nature.

2 months isn't a very long time for starting a new role. A probation period is generally 90 days from my experience. At that point you should be competent enough to get the leash loosened if it isn't already.
