louisefrank @louisefrank (356) 21 Mar 10

I'm an avid reader and have amassed quite a lot of old books. I'd like to sell them online. I know Amazon will sell your old books for you but does anyone know of any other sites or is Amazon the best one? What tips do people have...

How long do you wait before deciding the "best response" to your discussion?

louisefrank @louisefrank (356) 18 Mar 10

Do you allow "mature content" on your discussions?

louisefrank @louisefrank (356) 6 Mar 10

I've not been myLotting for long but I can't read some of the comments on discussions I have started because they are "mature content". I know you can change your preferences so you can read them but I have no interest in talking...

How can someone who LOVES food keep their weight down?

louisefrank @louisefrank (356) 5 Mar 10

I love food and have a big appetite. Left to my own devices, I could easily eat as much as my husband does - and he's a big man who works in a physical job whereas I am in a sedentary job. At various times in my life I have...

louisefrank @louisefrank (356) 4 Mar 10

I've recently seen more and more shops and supermarkets selling clothes for little girls that to my mind are completely inappropriate. Little T-shirts with sexy slogans, very short skirts, high heels, tube tops and cropped tops...

Help, I have an exclamation point beside my comments and I don't know why!

louisefrank @louisefrank (356) 27 Feb 10

I notice that there is now an exclamation point beside every one of my comments. Have I done something wrong? Am I right in that they are for reporting abuse? Well, I haven't written anything that could in any way be construed as...

Does anyone take any notice of members' myLot rankings?

louisefrank @louisefrank (356) 27 Feb 10

I'm very new to myLot and I'm puzzled by the rankings system. I had glanced at other people's rankings and assumed that if they were, say, 25,999 out of 26,000, they weren't very good. Now, however, rankings have started to appear...
