What is going on???
 
Hi,Hug

Last Sunday I uploaded two worksheets (Let �s go shopping - part 1 - 2 pages and Let �s go shopping - part 2 - 3 pages on the video with the same name)) and I can see they are being downloaded (not much but 21 and 18 so far). But WHERE ARE MY POINTSQuestion Question
And not a single little commentThumbs Down
Well, I think ESL has had much better days. I simply don �t understand what is going on and really am very disappointed.Cry

Good morning Victor,

Do you think it �s possible to arrange a �thank you � button on the download page and a message like "your work is appreciated. X members have said �thank you �."? Or something like that?

I was thinking it may ease some of the differences in opinion between members about what the �comments � are used for.

Have a wonderful day.

Hi, Victor
Good evening, almost good night

That is what we can say a quick answer. Thumbs Up
All the best and again,
Thank you for what you have accepted as your job




Hi, Alien,
Good morning, afternoon, evening, night
as the time you read me shows up

That stuff of the special button already exists, haven �t you seen it around? Every now and then, when you download there is a place where the number of downloads rises, if it rises, it means someone " appreciated "
Now, when someone is really polite, something slightly different occurs. The download number rises and, in addition, you get a comment, showing a special thank you.
That is what civilized people call education.
We never take anything without saying  a SPECIAL thank you.
We don �t click on a button to thank. That is the difference.


As you told me, some days ago, you like wandering around and "I may be a bit of an agitator at times, but I really try to be helpful... well, most of the time, anyway."Clap

Just like me
Hugs

Hi Olindalima,

Oh, I know about that & totally agree!

However, there have been many concerns expressed about �comments � again in the forum. It �s a recurrent bugbear.

I �m one of the members who believe comments should be constructive, not just an endless stream of �thank you �... it makes it hard to find useful information.

Just check the following links if you don �t believe me!

 
Thak you for your comment though! It �s always good to get some constructive & helpful ideas!
 
Have a good day too!

Hi everyone!
Well the same happened to me: I posted a worksheet that has been downloaded and I �m still expecting some comments on it; not to thank me but to know teachers � opinions about my work- I will deeply appreciate that. Thumbs Up
Have a good night!
