How would everyone feel about putting the GTKY question back into the dailies? I know back in the day that’s where they used to be (just like the IF thread). But then we moved them out into their own thread so that everyone, no matter where you were in your cycle or journey, could participate. I thought that was a nice idea at first. But it’s so easy just to skip that thread and it seems like it’s being missed more than it’s being posted nowadays. Maybe bringing it back in could help?

@LJMoon6 I vote yes!

@LJMoon6 I used to start the dailies every day for months and was always so thankful we didn’t do GTKYs because there’s no way I could think of one every day. I know it’s been kind of dead here so I’m not opposed to it but it just might make it hard when it’s the same few people starting them every day. And it’s not like we have a ton of people right now for others to step up. I never really thought of the separate GTKYs to be a daily thread, more just like as people thought of them, but maybe we could just make more of an effort to post one every day? I know I’ve been MIA but I do want to start jumping in again!

@bows22 oh definitely understand the "not wanting to think of one every day" 😂 that alone would make me never start the dailies. 

Would maybe just a weekly or twice a week? Maybe not on Monday since there's a lot of new posts anyway, but maybe a Tuesday? Wednesday?

@bows22 That was definitely one of the arguments for separating them lol. It's hard to think up a GTKY. But if you google it you'll find lists upon lists of questions. I'm fine with just putting more effort into starting them too. I felt like it helped bring us all closer the more we knew about each other.

@LJMoon6 I missed them too when they first stopped being included. That’s why I added them back into the weekend dailies. Just to liven things up, and help us all get to know each other a little better. But like @bows22, I couldn’t think of them very often so I’ve stuck to just weekends when I create those.😉

Random question: How do I replace the long links to articles and such with a simple highlighted word linking to the url, like stating read "this" info here? I know how to do it in my regular work but can't seem to find the option here in TB. @acleverusername and @LJMoon6 I think I've seen both of you do this. Please help.

@keikilove I want to know how to do this too! I remember that @shamrocandroll always used to do it and it seemed like a superpower!

@keikilove  @bows22  Maybe you have to use html code? I tried to do it a few times but the link just keeps redirecting to this post!

Well... I was going to say "it's easy!" then realized that if it were as easy you'd have all figured it out. So, on a hunch, I compared mobile vs. desktop version and you CANNOT do that on mobile/app! BOOOO. 

acleverusername

This is what I see on the desktop version.

@acleverusername oh rats. I only do TB on my phone. I guess I’ll just have to keep copying and pasting links for Peggys

@acleverusername I thought it would be that easy too! But then whenever I tried to click on the link once I posted it would keep redirecting to this board instead of the link.
