friends help: Do you use user matching? - Help.com

I didn’t realise you could do that

I have never used that…. might be fun…

Wow I am going to look out for that

Can I ask Queen Elizatron do you use it? Are the people that are matched more helpful do you find?

I am sure that there is more to the site that I realise I only found out about chat yesterday and have been posting for about 2 weeks. I do like to try and help tho

I dont bother. tbh, i find that whole post-post page a bit inconvenient

I don’t post questions…I just answer them. So I only use my tags and the main notice page.

I don’t use them. I noticed them, but I reply to the posts that are on my notice page or else read through the other posts on the main page.

I always try at least to look at them all, but I can’t help with much, But I do help with what I can.

Im right with Taps & Anthrax….

I at least read their post and help if I can.

i dont know here? i come on and answer the notices? how do you do otherwise?

For most experienced users, the “reciprocity links” as we call them internally, won’t help much.

They are more for new users who are looking for a way to get involved and we want them to get their message out. Instead of just sitting idly at a post they just made, we offer them a quick way to get out and connect with the people who, we hope, are the most likely to be able to help them with an answer to the question they asked.

Tags and notices. We look through matching but never use it.

So, if I am reading this right, the user base places a pretty heavy emphasis on the usefulness and functionality of the notices page.

It would be pretty convenient if I were to be able to unsubscribe myself from thread in the notice page, since that’s one of the only tabs I really ever go into here…

You can do that on the post page right after you’re done with it too. (Scroll up, see “UnSub” link)
