I'm new here - how does it work?
Response from CaroleAH made on 31st Jul 2017 00:03:30
Hi Helen,
Welcome to SS - we are a friendly bunch of people 🙂 I usually go to the Forum and look at the Latest Posts and the Latest Subjects to see if there is anything going on which I am interested in - then I make a comment and things seem to flow from there! If you click on the turquoise box on the right-hand side of your screen a drop-down box will appear which directs you to any subjects you may have joined in with or any chat sessions you are involved with. I find the site easier to navigate on my PC instead of my iPad - that could be because my IT skills aren't brilliant! Good luck and remember - if you can't find a topic of interest - post one of of your own 😉

Response from CaroleAH made on 17th May 2017 23:22:33
Hi Blader712,
Aren't you the lucky one!!!!!! 🙂 It has rained persistently all day here in North Yorkshire and as it's also quite chilly I shall probably put my electric blanket on before hitting the sack! Do you live in the USA or are you on holiday?

Hi Valeryanne, There is nothing wrong with chatting with your border collie,I used to have long conversations with my fella while he was around. I hope you find a friend you can pass your time with. There is always someone who needs a friend. Good luck

Hello everyone, I've just joined Silversurfers today - quite by accident I must admit - faffing around on Facebook and this site popped up as being one of interest and here I am! I look forward to getting to know you all and joining in the chat.
Response from Wilf made on 30th Oct 2016 14:21:53
Hi Mels you will find it a very interesting site. I like their "Speakers Corner" posts which are always fun and good banter with fellow Silversurfers
Response from Mels made on 30th Oct 2016 14:44:58
Thanks for the welcome Wilf and for the Speakers Corner tip - I shall hunt these down!
Response from Mels made on 30th Oct 2016 17:15:40
Hi Lionel, that's good to know. I've had a bit of a look around and there are certainly some interesting articles and informed chats going on - I must try and set some regular time in my day to pop in.
Response from jeanymay made on 30th Oct 2016 17:15:52
Welcome Mel's that's exactly how I came about the site via FB. Hope you enjoy it, and just shout out if you need a hand,although I must still be missing things as I haven't yet ventured to Speakers Corner...must try find it
Response from Mels made on 30th Oct 2016 20:21:35
Hi jeanymay and thank you for the welcome. It's strange, I resisted Facebook for years although I have been on Twitter a while. Thought I would give FB a go a few weeks ago and now love it - think it's a great way to find sites like this so I really do look forward to joining in.
Response from jeanymay made on 30th Oct 2016 20:45:06
I avoided FB for years also,but joined about 3 years ago. I like it also because you find out what's happening locally. We are all in the same boat in some respects, and trying to find things to pass the time

Ah ha! I've found all the newbies but how do we communicate? It's not the friendliest user site. Hopefully somebody will contact me to let me know I exist somewhere on here!
Response from Silversurfers Editor made on 12th Mar 2016 21:32:20
Hello and welcome 🙂 If you go into your Homepage, via Your Account which is the orange button in the top right corner, there is a box called My Forum. If you click that all your conversation threads will appear there .. hope this helps 🙂
