Technology Issues

Normally when I don't know something I ask questions right away.  It get's worse when you don't, you get more embarassed you don't know as time goes by and then you never ask.  You work so hard around things so no one will know you don't know.  So before I am a seasoned member I better get this over with.

How do people add associates?  I see the button on their sites, but mine doesn't have one.  I've looked in many forums for this, as well as checked my settings. 

I am a New Yorker, and since we are prone to having "bad reps"  for rudeness, I hesitate trying it out on someone else's site, for fear I will do it backwards.  I've asked permission to add an associate to my list, and received a warm yes, but I'm not sure if I go to his page it'll put my face up there on his profile page. Initially when an associate added themselves to my profile page I felt like they came and hung out in my backyard when I wasn't home, my friends sometimes did that, and that wasn't wierd, but once I found a guy sleeping in my car that I didn't know.  That freaked me out.  It could be a New York thing too.

One more question...Does everyone vote on all the blogs they see?

So if you would help me with the associate adding dilemna as well as point me where to go (don't be facetious) when I face these technical challenges it would be greatly appreciated.

 Hi Joanne, the add as associate button shows up when I clicked on your profile's "more about me" link under your photo. I assume you can't see it because you can't add yourself as your own associate. Hopefully that clears things up. If not, just message me. I'm always happy to help when I can. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Joanne,

In the right side you will see my picture,  

1) Left Click "more about me"

2) Left click "add as associate"

3) you will add me there,    

that's it, so easy and fun

that was an example, you do not need to add me

Regards,

Joanne-

Wow, I do miss Nyack - Rockland County State Park in the snow...  Ahhh, I'll be back one of these days!

Well - Ray answered the first question.  As far as the voting goes, I don't think very many people do vote on the posts.  Personally I like to give a 5 if the post is VERY good - if it's bad the people just won't get read as much, so that kind of takes care of itself.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Joanne,

No question is a silly one!  When I first came on here, I wondered the same thing, as well as having many other questions, too!

The "associations" get there when someone else adds you to their "associates".  People can add you without you having added them to your 'associates' section.  Does that answer what you asked?

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Hi Joann, no dumb questions. 

Most of us are fairly new and still learning also.  This what AR is all about; sharing.

I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to add an associate. I click above their picture add associate, then at the next page I add/upload and nothing. They are not added. It's my husband I'm trying to add and I'm listed under his associates. He has an association link on the lower left hand side with (1) . I do not have that association link on my lower left hand side. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Carrie
