There is a thread in the Parking Lot where people leave another DG member's name in case they go missing. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/828618/ Some of us just get busy/distracted. We do have elders on DG though and for those who are shut ins, such a system could literally save their life. When contacted about making it a sticky, Terry suggested this info be put on our member page which I think is perfect- intuitive & logical. I'm posting today to encourage folks to list a buddy who has your personal info and can contact you and let others know you are OK. With all the natural disasters lately, I think this is a great idea Shihtzumom had.

Regards,

Maggie

yay! I'm updating my member page now :o)

I like the idea of having it on member page, instead of that long thread.... always thought that would be a long thread to have to read to find one person! lol!

FYI, that "find" function is a really good trick for things like that (check the toolbar on your FireFox menu... look under "Edit"... or hit ctrl-F).

I think admin hinted on another thread that Dave might be working on some other ideas for this, too. ?

IE has the same "find" feature, I actually think it's the same key combination and in the same place on the menu too.

the 'short cut keys' will work on all PC"s as it's a Microsoft thing.... so Ctrl + F should bring up the FIND feature... i too use it all the time.

it probably does not work for Apple [MAC] users.

ooh, somebody just told me this, let's see if I remember... I think Macs use a "command" key instead of "ctrl," so "cmd-F" might do the trick on a Mac.
