To the service who posted a job ad on the Main board, the reason your post
was removed is because all job ads are to be posted on the Job Seeker's board. Any "well-deserving MT" knows to look at that forum for that "chance to work for an excellent company and make an excellent line rate". Feel free to post your ad there.
Thank you.
MQ has fabulous prizes being given away all week!
Very happy!!
And its gonna kill you to post on the Company board rather than the main board?

What is the Main Board for? All general topics seem to get moved to the new gab board.

You put them on the company board, not the main board. They are still there.

Main board is for MT topics. Non-MT goes to the Gab board! nm

I am a Survivor fan and did watch it last week. The guys
most definitely carried huge loads in order to take everything with them and ended up paying a huge price. Hopefully they all start drinking more water ... I think they are a great group and I want to see everyone able to compete.
Tonight should be good!
Watch for MTStars giveaways during MT Week!

this should be on the main board, because

It's the MAIN BOARD
I thought we could gather as MTs at the main board and discuss pets, TV, etc. if we wanted to. This was more a comment on the show rather than an attempt to open up a discussion about sex change anyway.
FWIW, I thought the show was funny last night. I did feel a little squeamish when Zachary was on, though. He seemed to come away with the impression that he was being discriminated against because of his look, or the way he? is, and didn't seem to understand that he can't sing. What's new, though. I think my favorite so far, though, has been the "I shot the sheriff" guy.
What is the main board for?
A week or so ago, I responded to a post from someone who was asking about Files To Go. My message was wiped from the board after a very short time. This morning in my email box was a digest from MT Stars by a person asking where her post went...she was asking about keyboard trays. I can't find either one of her messages on the board.
Why are our messages being deleted from the system?
Main Board
I'd like to thank the administrator for helping me with my question about the main board. Being new here, I looked around for "instructions" but must have overlooked them. It's nice to see the administrative message at the top of the main board explaining how to use it -- I took the word "main" litearlly, as others new to this board possibly have.
I do have a question. When I signed up at Yahoo-Groups , I signed up to receive daily digests, which are digests of the main board. Is there a way to receive digests of the boards listed on the left?
Main Board
Does the active topics selection at the top of the page show all active topics for each category at left or just certain ones? Thanks.l
Please see my question on company board -posted on wrong board
nm
why are you posting on the main board ??
x
of the Main Board here??? huh? hmmm....nm

Again, the Main board is for anything that would not be a topic that should
be posted on any of the boards in the left column. If your post is about equipment questions, then that should be posted on either the Equipment or Technical boards. If a new MT has questions, posts should be made on the New MT board. Questions about a particular company? Post is on the Company board.
We receive well over 5 million hits to this site per month. If everything was posted on the Main board we would have a major problem on our hands. That is why posts are deleted.
Main Message Board
This is the main message board. If you notice, not much on this page is directly related to MT. This is where we go to talk about anything else non-MT related.
Thank you. I moved it to this Main board. (nm)

Moved to main board for more to see...sm
We are not endorsing nor advertising this product. This post was on the New MT/Student board and is a nice discount for all of our MTStars posters, so I thought I'd bring it out for everyone to see.
Thank you Danny!
I posted this about a week ago, it can be done....
Go to microsoft.com and download the Word 2000 supplemental macro utility. This will back your autocorrect up to a file, which makes it to where you can email it to yourself, then use the same macro utility on the other computer to install them. It is very easy. Search for my other post for a little more detail or just follow the instructions on microsoft.com. Good Luck!!!!
What EXACTLY are we ALLOWED to post on the MAIN board?
Just about every other post has been saying post this on this board or that board....well what goes here?
The main board is used to discuss many different topics. sm
There are many posts on this board that if you were to be really technical about it, should be put on the company board, word board, productivity board, religion board, etc., but they're allowed to stay here and be discussed. If you don't like this topic, then feel free to skip it. But it really isn't a political discussion per se, so it shouldn't have to be taken somewhere else.
I think y'all should have to stay on the main board.
That way we youngsters can read your posts and go, "Wow, we're sure lucky we didn't have to put up with all that bunk." Thanks for paving the way for us!
The Main board is fine for this subject. (SM)
Non-MT topics are fine here.
If you would like to take this up with the Administrator, you can e-mail her at admin@mtstars.com.

In other words - the main board should not even exist then.

I asked on main board, don't know why I didn't
think to ask you all! We are still all a team, right? I am going to return to transcribing, I was an MT for 20 years and QA for 10. I figured out financially that I would have to transcribe 1500 lines per shift to make out OK. Of course, if I got paid 12 and 13 cpl like the old days, the requirement would be less! But I'm figuring a 9 cpl start. I would have to do 1500 to keep afloat until I get moving up or transcribing faster. Anyway, is 1500 lines of work easy to get on a steady basis around the average MTSO anymore? I used to work 2 jobs for years long ago, and found it was easier that way. When one ran low, I jumped on other one, and always had work. That's my biggest fear, quitting my hourly job, going back to MTing, and then finding no work. I don't know if 1500 lines per shift is out of the ballpark to expect these days? I used to type a lot more than that, but I'm a bit more fidgety these days! What do you think? Sound possible as far as the MTSO's side? Or is my goal too high? I just don't want to end up homeless trying to break away from this company.
Main Board is for any topic. Don't start the flaming. NM

you're welcome; use Main board for general MT questions
nm
This also involves AHDI, so I think it should be discussed here on the Main Board, not just MQ's

Post word questions on the Word board NOT the Main board.

We had problems with the Main board and some posts were removed. You did not offend
I am aware of the religion board, just thought main one would be more active...thanks anyway. nm

You realize you are posting this on the main board, right? Not everyone at this site works for MQ.
I posted that question last week. I agree it would be nice
and it does seem to be a DAILY topic as of late.
All word questions need to be posted on the Word board. Please use the correct board to post.

Are you the one who posted on the Ask the Dr board?
I go to "The Stop Smoking Center" for online support. I quit for eight years, but this past 13 months have been so crazy that I relapsed exactly one year ago. I've been peeved at DH and stressed over a lot of stuff, so I lit up one night while out with a friend. I quit again for three months using Zyban, but relapsed yet again after stopping that. I do OK during the day with not smoking, but DH smokes outside at home so it's tough to stay quit being around him. I just keep making excuses to not quit. That means I'm just not ready yet. People handle their emotions and stress fine without smoking. I handled everything fine for eight years without smoking, and those eight years were pretty hairy, too.. For me, it's a question of replacing my bad emotional crutch with a good one. (Exercise!)
Good for you for making the decision! You can do it! Google the support board I told you about, and I'll probably be around here if you want to buddy up or anything.
This is posted on the job board:
...7 cpl for a 65-char. line with room for increase. Please send resume and place "ESL MT" in the subject line. These are very difficult accents...
Is this serious?? THAT is why there is nothing left to this profession. Applying for and accepting jobs like this is what has been the kiss of death for MTs. I hate to think what they would pay for non ELSs - 5 cpl?
I have posted this before on another board
My DH cousin jokeingly said to be a Transcriptionist all you have to do is know how to type and spell. I said "okay, spell pterygoid muscle." After a long blank stare he said, "There is no such thing". Like I said he truely was joking but so many people think there is nothing to this job.
Look on the job board, someone just posted a weekend only job - nm

It should be posted on the Company board, please.

On another board here, I posted a news
article which actually identified this New Zealand company as being owned by a HUGE American national....everyone laughed at me and said this was old news - offshoring. But it was sure news to me that it was my company and now in New Zealand. Personally, I'd love to transfer there. Lots of nice sheep and trees.
Silly me, you posted t his on the Gab board too - sm
I got confused!!!!!
sorry...posted on wrong board

Someone posted abbreviations before this board went
bonkers and I had copied it down. When site went down, so did my copy. Does anyone have a good site for abbreviations? Thanks.
I also posted on the political board, but -
I did not refer to Obama or McCain and the political side of it, I am interested more in how it is effecting us in the United States. Everyone else is posting here about their jobs and that is what I am talking about. I don't care about policies right now, I am wondering how every day life is going to change.
And, no, I am not being rude, just explaining myself.
Just posted on the Political Board
a long rant on this - please refer to that. But also see this website.
It's time to take a stand MTs!

If you are the OP, you also posted this on the Company board
As being a position with Keystrokes. I didn't think KS hired ICs?
Color me confused but...?
