No problem at all!, I'm enjoying the discussion as much as everyone else is. Just happy that most if not all agree with me about being forced to join a social media site to access a news one. I've resisted fb even when it meant losing female companionship! Talk about a bittersweet experience !
I think I know what's going on as to why my posts are not displayed right. When I post anything, I first open MSWord and type it there. I spell check it and then do a copy/paste. Apparently, it must not like the font that Word uses. This one should be OK since I typed directly here.
That's what John figured in Gary's thread,
Bad forum display with dark theme
heres a benefit to facebook that my partner uses it for.
take a class of degree students ,studying counselling.
they start a facbook group, it is only available to those in the group, they discuss the studies, assignments share study links, information , research links, support each other , they socialise to a certain level and have a better closer relationship despite them all living in different towns.
some share cars for lifts and organise pick ups through the fb group,
and countless other reasons they use the group for.
then my daughter goes to uni, before she started in September ,she had contacted the girls through facebook that she would be sharing a flat with in halls of residence,
it was a good ice breaker so none of them were strangers when they met.
she also has a fb group for her studies and her uni has an fb page too for sharing important info and other students meet that way too.
very handy and not just for people who like to share cat memes.

Very interesting. I have to admit I have not known you can do all this by email.
Maybe you should make a tutorial about this extended use of email. For the future reference, could you please tell me how to set up an instant online chat using email, let's say between 10 plus participants as we often do with my cousins and siblings? I mean instant online in the sense that each participant sees all the comments of all other participants in chronological order the same moment they are posted (sent) and can logically follow the discussion.
Also I would like you to teach me how to set up the photo sharing with email, so that selected participants (family members in my case) can all comment the shared photos and and everyone can see the comments in chronological order and comment other comments and see the discussion flow?
