Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

Logout works for me. Thats how determined that i was not famous. I logged out an clicked the link and was immediately not famous anymore. Phew. ...
(Or maybe shucks)

Haha  :) :)
I've been logged in on my iPhone for the longest time already, never tried logging out beside when @aaaron made me butterflies , but logging out didn't work , so I guess I'm having also a  logging out problem.

This is probably the wrong thread but you should try calling and speak to a manager. If that doesn't work, tweet Verizon Support on twitter....

The option for "Allow users to email me" shows my email address if turned on? How is it different that PM?

No need to go back to DD to respond and doesn't let the mods go NSA style on your convo

Not sure your first response (i.e., NSA...)

Yes. I did mean to quote the other post.
I was saying two differences between pm and email
1)you can reply straight from your email as opposed to having to go back to the forums to reply to a PM
2) the mods can't see your discussion

Ok, can others see your email address if its turned on? Can the mods see the first email since it's sent through the forum? Any benefit of the mods being able to see the discussion (i.e., enforce an offer made by a DDFer)?

Yes they can see it. And no real benefit unless your doing something you shouldn't be in which case your a sneaky thieving weasel and don't belong on this forum    (or maybe that's why you do belong)
