    I am sorry..
    But what is the need in all of this ? Have I missed the point ? What is wrong with the way things are?

    No one is suggesting that you have need of anything. If it means nothing to you, move on to something that does. Not every thread or post is going to have meaning to everyone.

    By way of referencing the point of this thread, my feral cat thread is number two in Bing, just below a Wikipedia page, for the title phrase, which was chosen as one that people would be likely to search for. It's bouncing around on Google; it was at the top of the second page of Google results a couple of days ago but doesn't show up right now.

    I'm surprised so many people are actually searching for that particular topic. :D
    Perhaps it is due to so many of them around in various cities and towns.

    While it is a reasonably common search term, I wasn't referring to the number of searches but to the thread's position in the search engine results when someone does search for that search term.

    I even saw that on FaceBook, Ken under, would you take in a feral cat?

    Good grief, the things I am really good at, I wouldn't dare write about on here. Just to say, I was a fabulous O.R. and Delivery Room Nurse. Not trying to be funny, but fact.

    Feel free to promote your posts outside of the SENIORSonly Club. You can post a link on our Facebook page, on your own page, or elsewhere. I promote the forum itself, from time to time, as well as individual threads. People most always click on the links, as our number of guests rise. They don't usually join the forum but the links themselves are useful for SEO purposes. In posting a Facebook post, I think that if there is a photo in the opening post, it will include it. I'm not sure about that but there is also an opportunity to add a photo to the link.

    For example, here's a screenshot of a promo that I posted on our Facebook page for one of my threads. I added the photo because it just looks nicer that way, but a photo isn't necessary.

    I think you probably have some wonderful stories given your career!! It takes a special person to be able to give their very best to the person in front of them, not because they know them, but because they are dedicated to what they do. Not everyone can do that.
