Hello everyone in Christian Chat land. I look forward to future interactions with those here. Initially I would like to investigate and potentially learn from some of your posts but will gladly reply to responses from this initial post of mine. May peace be with you all.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to welcome me here Blain and Blue_Ladybug. It is much appreciated. I was wondering if either of you might guide me through where you check in your account if there are responses to your thread as well as how to get to the thread without going through your e-mail and clicking the link, which is what I did. I am not a social media type so I may well end up list a bit here but I highly regard learning from others and very highly regard God. I truly hope to find good friends through this experience. May God bless you both for being so kind to me, as well as the individual who messaged me.

Thank you very much for your welcome Martyr (I hope you don't mind shortening the name, my only internet is a phone and that is a lot of switching back and forth with capitals for me). I look forward to investigating the site more and looking into the blog posts (I am very respectful so my initial interests shall be of the welcoming individuals from this post). I look forward to hearing what is on your minds. May God bless you as well Martyr.

Thank you for your kind welcome Kemuel. I very much look forward to all I can learn from you as well. I will need time to paruse through the posts from all you. Bear with me because I do spend a great deal of time focusing solely on God but will try to go through as many as I can each evening. Thank you again Kemuel and may God bless you.

Thank you very much for your welcome both MultilingualMessenger and bluebird chaser. The fireworks were beautiful (I loved the colors). I am very poor at navigating social sites so it may take some time for me to learn of all of you. I apologize but I don't even know how to like someone. I will figure it out though becsuse all of you deserve a like from me. I will invest more time here in the evening to get to know all of you through your own posts. I would like to thank all of you for your beautiful kindness in welcoming me as well as for the learning I will experience through all of you. May God abundantly bless all of you beautiful people

I have been on this site for a year and I am still learning how to do things. To 'like' a post click on the little blue "Like" button on the lower right hand corner. On the grey line on the bottom there is a star. Click on that to give a reputation comment. Currently, you do not have any rep power but if you did whatever your power is that is how many rep points are awarded. There is a message box to write a short message and if you wish, to identify yourself.

Every 100 rep points is worth 1 rep power. Additionally, every 1000 posts is worth 1 power, and on the anniversary of each year in your membership one point is awarded. The green boxes represent rep power that is rewarded only through the rep comment process. You will get your first rep power after your first 50 posts to start with and will also become a member instead of a junior member. After 100 posts you become a senior member.

The best way to see if someone responded to your post is from someone liking it. You can click on that to take you back to the thread. Also, in your profile page click on the tab that is your name and it will list all of your post in the order that you posted them. Click on these to take you back to the thread that they were posted in and see if anyone responded to your post in another post of their own.

Likes, reputation comments, mail, friend requests, etc. will appear on the blue Notification box on the top of the page on the right-hand side. Click on this to get a detailed summary.

Glad to have you join our community. Welcome to CC.

Thank you so much tourist for taking the time, to the utmost, to guide me through this site. May God thoroughly bless you for the good you've done me. I actually took screenshots of your post for a reference :) I look forward to getting to know you :)

actually, tourist, you're wrong about the number of posts you have to make to get a power. It varies for everyone. It isn't 1000 posts for EVERYBODY, it could be 200 or 400 or whatever. At 50 posts, everyone gets 1 power, and at 100 posts you become a senior member. But after that, each person's post count varies from when they receive another power. Up until a certain limit, I received a power AND a green bar with every so many posts. Now I only get green bars when I get rep comments. I don't know what length of membership has to do with anything, but I don't think you get points for that because I've been here over a year and didn't receive a point. No one knows exactly how rep points/powers work, but I keep close tabs on mine so I know how mine work, at least..lol.. :)

Butterfly712 thank you for the welcome and also the well wishes :) Although it has only been a day I have enjoyed it thus far. I look forward to getting to know you. Also, a butterfly is a beautiful analogy of a non-believer being transformed by the Holy Spirit when becoming saved. An excellent choice for a name :)

Blue_ladybug might I ask you what the reward for 'power' etc. is?

There is no reward, except maybe the number of green bars a person has might tell you that their knowledgeable on a variety of topics, whereas someone with less bars might not be. For example, Angela53510 and psychomom both have alot of bars, and I know them quite well, so I know that they are wise on alot of topics. :)

With rep powers, and I will use tourist as an example, if he were to rep comment you, you would gain 23 rep points, because he has 23 rep powers.

Thank you for your quick reply blue_ladybug. It appears to me that they will be of no concern to me then if they don't truly supply a function. If anyone else wants them though I would be happy to provide what little I'm able to :) Thanks again. Also I tried to reply on your depression post but it would not let me. I just thought I'd let you know that you are doing a good thing inspiring others through the sharing of your struggles. May God be with you :) and may your suffering lessen by the grace of God.
