New to this site and I am a bit confused at what are frugals and threads

Hi Chrissy -

This is what Frubals are:

Frubal explanation so newbies won't have to read EVERYTHING!

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.

how can I explain a thread???
"inroduce yourself" is a Thread....
this is the definition of a thread:

1) In online discussions, a series of messages that have been posted as replies to each other. A single forum or conference typically contains many threads covering different subjects. By reading each message in a thread, one after the other, you can see how the discussion has evolved. You can start a new thread by posting a message that is not a reply to an earlier message.

Does this make any sence????

You dont need to wear scarved but I would cover up, wear something conservative. Full lenght trousers and a top that covers your shoulder.
Egypt and Turkey are major tourist destinations so they are not so strict as many ohter "eastern countries".

Chrissy, when we were there is was warm and I noticed a lot of women wore capri pants. The same held true for the pyramids. I didn't see any halter tops though. Most people wore short sleeve shirts.
