Thread: Hi Everyone!

Hi everyone! A little background.......
We've been cruising since 1996 & cruise at least yearly, allthough now that I'm retired & my wife is soon to be, we will probably cruise more often. Our favorite cruise line is Celebrity, & all but one cruise (Princess) has been with them

Bermuda is our favorite destination, but with less ships calling there, it will probably be a while til we return.

One question: what is a frubal???

Hey richsea

Glad you came on over here to introduce yourself. We will be doing a crossing on Voyager OTS the end of April, just a few days before your Galaxy TA. Weather should be nice

Don't be a stranger now that you have come back

Oh! I forgot your question about frubals!

Frubals

Have you ever heard the phrase 'instant karma'? Frubals (sometimes known as 'reputation') are a very close equivalent. Let's say, for example, you see a post that you really like. You can validate that person by clicking on the little scale icon that appears in that post. (It's toward the right-hand side, up top)

A pop-up message will come up, asking what you thought of the post and will have a blank space where you can write your thoughts on that post. The other member will have it noted in their "User CP" that someone thought that that post was worth frubals, and if you enclosed a note, that will appear next to the notation.

Click on User CP -- scroll down a bit and you will see how much reputation (how many frubals) you have and who gave them to you, along with their personal message. It will display the last 20 posters who have sent you frubals.

Scroll a tiny bit more and you will see how many you can give (reputation power). The number of frubals you can send each time is based on how much "reputation" you have acquired.

The message you get in your Private Messages box is the canned one that automatically goes out when someone sends frubals. The "real" message is on the User CP page

The more you get, the more you can give, but you have to have made 50 posts on the boards yourself before your frubals have any value to someone else.

Welcome to CLF. Glad to have another seasoned cruiser aboard!
