That little tag in the upper right corner of my search line just kept popping up, like a worm on a hook. Finally I took the bait.  I certainly DO remember my first question and why I asked it. I believe Jenn gave the answer that struck me as what was right in the circumstance. 
Nonetheless, after I asked my question, I started poking around, and here I am, when I should be folding clothes and pruning rosebushes.  :D

Rolling akaQA back

Dear akaQA members,

As you may have noticed earlier today we rolled out the new akaQA interface.
After a few hours of running it and getting feedbacks from several community members, we've decided to roll back to the good old version and do some more internal work on the new layout.
We hope to have it live within a few days, once we tweak things up a little.

In the meanwhile, if you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact us through the contact link at the bottom of the page.

We're sorry for the interuption and will continue to work hard to get you the best Q&A platform possible.

Enjoy,
The akaQA team.

@ itsmee, west-bus is just copy and pasting old forum news,, he is not a contact person at akaQA ;)

I remember my first question and I believe it was....oh, I don't remember but, poking around, I found something I could answer and I got stuck.............

My grandaughter  was circling my round table  singing & knocking down chairs as she went. I felt I couldn’t ask anybody in my family how to solve the problem. I felt strongly that I should be able to take care of it myself.  I didn’t want to ‘TELL” on her.  I don’t remember what you all said but the problem was solved.  : )   And that’s where I got stuck.

I like your new picture!

Colleen

Did you ever take my advice and turn the chairs over before she go there for the next visit?

It was either: Why is the sky blue? or Is Justin Bieber gay? LOL

I actually don't remember the question or answers that first got me interested in this site, but, I think seeing the guy holding his head in his hands was the attention grabber. ( Hi Randy)

I asked a question that I thought was sensible about where to find a switch on a certain vehicle.I got an answer from someone who is no longer around which was quite derogatory. I sent back a mouthful of derision to him.I don't know why I came back.I think it was because I perused the questions & found a couple I could answer.

The question was, "Is homosexuality a sin", I kept coming back to argue the ignorance being posted.  To this day, people still do not know the difference between abomination (not a sin) and sin. 

Colleen

Abomination is or was moral code for the era. A list of societal codes for the people. Abomination was the do's and don'ts covering health, cleanliness, societal standings, family, children, foods, sexual habits, hair, clothing, crops, animals, medicine, a general guide line for healthy, clean living without doing harm to others. Breaking a moral code did not send a Soul to hell, jail maybe but not hell. Breaking a moral code back then was much the same as breaking the societal laws of today that can put you in jail. Breaking a moral code was an offence to mankind. Sinning is an offence against God and (supposedly) can send one to hell.

You're welcome. Hope it helps :)

I saw the blue button on top of my page and it said "Ask a Question" My first Question was "Does anyone have Tinnitus? I did get some very helpful answers. That was in April of 2011 and I am still here.

Two questions stood out for me:  one was a question I asked shortly after Osama Bin Laden was killed, and my God, did I ever open a can of worms; and a silly question as to whether or not  anybody ever succeeded in in putting back some toothpaste that had been squeezed out, and I received a ton of answers for a seemingly pointless question.  Nonetheless, I became quite addicted to and involved with this site albeit having quite a bit of Moderator angst.

country bumpkin

I remember the toothpaste question.

What convinced me to come back was how quickly you received feedback from others.  Then how people talked, disagreed, agreed, were funny. were sad, were happy, were pushy but still interacted, which to me is amazing, and not too many divorces because of what you said, on this site.  Plus its fun seeing how people are doing on karma points, even me.

Colleen

I think I answered everyone of your questions the first night you showed up, lol You sure kept me busy! :D

A question of when Easter was on the 2011 calendar. It intrigued me. I'm not particulary savvy with the computer but for an 'ol lady I try my best. I like the different answers and opinions that everyone gives and it just makes me laugh at times. Really good medicine some days. Thanks everybody!

Colleen
