Not at all. We're just the same fun group, minus that which did not make us so fun.

The location here makes us much more personable.

Ooh, Captain did me one better - he cut and pasted.

Cindy, we've been on Millie 3 times and Infinity once. We really love the M class ships - we even have "our" room - a CC with an overlarge balcony that we get every time. You're right, I think we'll probably have a hard time making a final choice once we actually get on Solstice and compare. There will be a lot of differences between the 2 ships and it will be interesting to see how things shake out.

Here is your explanation of 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.
Oh, I think I understand - it's basically giving someone kudos only I need 50 posts before I can give out any.

I'm on page 57 - looks like there's 5-8 per page on my screen. I guess there's someway in the user cp to change that setting. I like the 20 per page more.

Oh yeah, I know it's the same fun group - there just seems to be more bells & whistles here.
