So please do not violate the rules and regulations of this forum – thanks!

 

Why do some members have photos next to their ID when they post, but I do not have?

No worries. This happens because you did not upload a photo for yourself yet at HungryGoWhere (the default fat tummy does not count). So if you want a photo next to your ID when you post, just log in, go to your HungryGoWhere account page and upload a photo there. You will see that photo when you start posting in the forum again (and in all your previous posts too).

 

What is “Bookmark this discussion”?

On the right hand side, you will notice this option to bookmark the discussion you are currently reading. By bookmarking the discussion, you are putting a link in your “Bookmarked Discussions”, also seen on the right under “Discussion Filters”, where you can easily retrieve the discussion the next time you want to go through that discussion thread again.

 

What is a medal award?

There are three kinds of medal awards. Bronze, Silver and Gold

You get a medal when other HungryGoWhere members give you an increasing number of thumbs up for making useful comments

All medal award winners will get surprise invitations from HungryGoWhere to attend events from time to time, and enjoy other special privileges arranged by HungryGoWhere. We want to reward our best HungryGoWhere members!

 

How do I give a “thank you” to a comment I like?

Go to the comment posted by the HungryGoWhere member, and click on the word “thanks” at the right hand side of his post

 

Why did I lose my medal?

You will lose your medal should you violate the rules and regulations of this forum. HungryGoWhere reserves the right to determine the level of medal downgrade in such instances.
