Hi Janine.  Thank you. No, I still haven`t figured the doo~da`s out yet.  How would I give someone a manna, or they me?   Thanks for explaining what it means.

What do the stars mean? Are they based on the number of postings, on if I'm a good girl, or what?

Yup, number of posts and when you post 50 times you will be able to give Manna.
:)

Manna is similar to a collection of Gold Stars ---a little pat on the back from the other posters.  However, you could have 50 people give you kudos for something you said and 1 might remember to click and give you Manna ---so most people don't pay much attention to it.?
I would suggest going to that section on FAQ along with the forum rules ---so many people have asked questions ---you will find out alot of technical stuff there, it's fun what you find out -----I'll tell you one neat thing...in the right corner of your post  -if you click "modify" --even weeks later you can change or fix a post of yours, for example.    And as Janine said, The "Preview" button is your friend.

                      BTW  I always sort of consider Manna to be a kind of symbolic kudo.

   I have been roaming around the various topics and discussions today.  I'm very impressed as to the variety of issues and topics discussed and the information provided by posters and the varied opinions expressed.
