my flowers keep going away I click and they turn go to another and when I come back they are gone!!! I figure it is the updates that is doing it, I always give flowers that way I know I have that design already and don't try to redownload LOL now I am all goofed up LOL
one day mine did that to !!!one day soon i hope things will be fixed here lol i love how fast it is now hugs carolyn
i just joined and wondered what the flowers meant and how did one get them. i just figured it out and gave you one. enjoy being here. hope to learn lots.
Yup, I go to give thanks, and there are 5 and 6 zeros. Sometimes I remark on it.(then I feel guilty) but, gee, you don't have to go all the way down, but sprinkle on those with none. There should be no zeros!
Yes, flowers for all. Have you noticed it is even faster now when you give a flower, No more waiting.
I have just finished downloading the new Merced alpha on DBC and again - very, very few flowers given. None given by members who have been with cuties for ages (by looking at the number of flowers that they have collected). Really a pity that this is still happening. Why - they cost nothing ?
good question my friend now that this site is really fast more people will give .I love to see the dig. who give so freely to us all get there thanks and a wee lower hugs to all carolyn
I was gone for 4 days and I am just now catching up with posts. I rarely comment on DBC but give every design a flower whether I downloaded it or not. If someone puts out all that effort of digitizing a design and passes it on to others for free they most certainly deserve a flower and I appreciate their effort. When I have time I go and check out projects (which seems to be the slowest category)and pass out flowers and sometimes make comments. I also see a lot of 0 when someone took the effort to research and answer a question.
I've been a member from the start (Almost) and you can see by my flower count that I don't contribute very often. Now this is not a begging post just to boost my flowers! I'm happy to be a sleeper.
I don't want to upset anyone but I have always had a problem with this begging for flowers. They have no value except for bragging value of course. If I see something that I really appreciate then I'll give a flower.
Of course there are some contributers on cute that don't just deserve flowers but I would award a gold bar if I could. Yes of course I mean Sharlene!
OK grouse over back to being a sleeper.
hope you understand i am making a point not begging for flowers i love to see the dig. recognized as they work so hard to give hugs Carolyn
Yes of course. I understood that we were giving the ability to give flowers as a mark of appreciation for the help and advice we received from other Cuties. I remember when they first started to show by my name - I e-mailed Miss Veronica to find out what the purpose of the flowers was - she was trialing them ling before we were able to give them to each other. To start with they were only given when we visited the site each day.
As I said before I am going back to a sleeper --- but I do LOVE visiting this site - always have - hope I always will!
Give flowers???? enlighten please!!!!!!!
Firstly - giving a flower means clicking on the little green (or whatever colour) symbol next to the number directly opposite the persons name and avatar.
I see that you already have 124 flowers so that means that other cuties have been clicking when they have read something that you have written, downloaded a design that you have given, posted or answered a question, etc.
They cost nothing to give, there is no limit to how many you can give at any time - the only limit is that you can only give one flower at a time.
They are little "nothings' that do not cost you anything but make others feel good ! Just like picking a flower out of your garden and handing it to someone !!!!
Ok I get it sooooooo in stead of saying thank you to my computer for a design I have just down loaded or saying oh wow I like that when I have seen something that really appeals to me, I can give a flower for it!! Here's all the beautiful flowering jasmine from my garden in cascades for you all, and especially for you who have so generously given your designs, I have become an avid collector and been inspired to try my hand at digitizing too :))
And flowers for all in return........thank you, Carolyn.....what a thoughtful thing to say!! Thanks to all who make comments, you need to know I read them all, just don't have time to answer them, but it is your wonderful support that keeps me digitizing.......hugs.....Vicki
your welcome vicki you work so hard for us i only hope that one day i can learn to dig. love and hugs always carolyn
I am happy you bring this up, I never dl a designs without giving people flowers first, I do this so I will not forget to do it...*********************
hehehe, to busy to comment at the time, to much on my plate but flowers are just one click away even if I do not DL just to appreciate - and with answers or questions, if I read - all the gardens grow I have learnd so much just reading questions and answers.
Wishing you all a blomming time till I find mine. Still working hard on the paperwork of the accident and the new car and insurance issues - bäh it stinks.
Hi Carolyn, I give a flower before I download from DBC and also give a comment, even if it is just a thank you. Also I try to go back to the designs that I have uploaded onto DBC to give everyone a flower as well and also try to comment. Sometimes I will just put a general thank you to all and then click ttt on the last that has downloaded it.
I also love to give flowers on the projects and community. I leave flowers also for a record that I know I have read the posts.
Hugs to all and flowers for all
I give flowers regularly as I also do not like the rows of 0's. I think that a lot of the newbies just do not understand the concept. Maybe this will help them to understand although I have seen a few queries lately from them, regarding the flowers. You have all got another flower from me - top to bottom !
Yes it is a sorry state of affairs when no-one can click on a flower.
I always give flowers to everyone who answers the same questions I do.
I also give flowers to the original poster of a question, even if I don't answer it.
Then every day I go into projects and click on every project there because I just do not have enough time to comment on them all, as much as I would like to.
And I rarely visit DBC but when I do I try to catch up on my thank you clicks.
As much as I try, I am not perfect, but at least I try. :-)))
Good girl Momma is very happy that your trying now keep it up or you will be sent to your room (sewing room) for 10 hours ok lol hugs carolyn
I haven't had a chance to download the alphabets yet. I hope they stay up long enough for me to get them. I'll give flowers. What I find myself doing is leaving a comment and then forgetting to give a flower. So I try to backtrack (ctrl+shift+T) and bring up closed tabs to give flowers. I would give more than one if I could. I've noticed the "missed" flowers a lot here lately. Maybe everyone is just too busy or afraid they are going to run out of flowers if they give too many.
For anyone who doesn't know, flowers are like hugs, smiles and thank you; you NEVER run out. It just feels nice to receive them!!
I'm often wondering when people ask a question and don't give a single flower to the cuties who answer and try to help. Or like Marg said all comments before have 0flowers.
I have to post a pic for Christine/ cfidl cause you said we sound like in a coffee-shop (found it at turquoise-blog). You cannot imagine how many of us prefer to drink our coffee in the morning "surrounded" by the CUTE-family more than with their real husbands :o)
Greetings, Bettina
I have noticed this tooooooooooo. Remember it is quicker to give flowers from the bottom of the page up than the top down. Sometimes in projects I do not make a comment but just give everyone a flower. I also hate to see 00000000000000's.
Marg you know my mac? Every time I click on a flower the pic is jumping and I often hit then the "exclamation-mark" for abuse while I wanna give just the next cutie a flower :o( From bottom to top works also better for me...
Greetings, Bettina
Guess people have just gotten busy, school starting, getting back to some kind of after summer routine, I don't know. I know I've been a little more busy lately but I do try to get on every day and leave flowers and glance through to see projects and what's going on. Hugs to all! DBC's do deserve the flower thank yous.
I FEEL BAD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO GIVE US THE DESIGNS I FEEL WE COULD AT LEAST SAY THANKS!!!
hey carolyn-I am sending you a flower-just curious though-why are you YELLING!!!! lol
Doesn't she always write like this? Maybe I'm wrong but I thought she had eye issues. Seems I recall something like that. If I wrong Carolyn, sorry.
We would like to be but it to hot in Texas for my bush hide lol it is now comming fall and tonight might be our first frost :):(:(
Carolyn come on down, the weather has cooled and it looks like no more 3 digit temps. In fact tonight it should be in the 50's. Now where is my jacket.

I think I know the answer. For the past 3 or 4 days so many people have been on here and the site has been so slow that I have not downloaded any designs by Cuties as I knew I would not have time. I do want Basketkases' alphabet and her other designs also, but thought I would keep popping in and find a time when others are not here. Maybe Veronika should have one of those counters as how many are on line. Some sites call them visitors on line. Then I know whether to try to download or not. ha! ha!
I love to give flowers to everyone who asks, gives and answers unless I am super busy or not at home. I also use the flowers to indicate that I downloaded the design, and I try to leave ample comment. Once in a while I forget the comment, however the flower stays until I try to download it again! The signs of a failing mind ( I had to back up twice to correct typing haha). Holiday weekend... all but me have a life and a barbeque!My Motto: Live, Laugh, Download, and Stitch!
First thing I do is give a flower, than I download. If I'm not to busy I also leave a comment. I appreciate ALL our digitizers, they are an inspiration to those of us who either do not, can not or are just learning to digitize.
well now you be a good girl and do lots of emb. and Momma will be very happy now GO SEW LOL hugs carolyn
I guess I felt a personal comment - more than just THANKS - was appropriate. Very, very seldom do I download a design without at least a sentence long comment and thank you. By the time I do that, I forget about the flower thing as I just have not gotten into the habit. Is giving a flower more appreciated than a comment about a design or should you do both?
I think both are appropriate. I try to do both..... just don't add a flower to any and all that are on the screen at any given time.

Noah,
Don't forget to look at your pm's either...... sent you one in answer to a question you sent me.
MJDG
OK I WILL THE NAME IS CAROLYN ,NOAH IS MY GRANDSON BORN ON MY B/DAY HUGS CAROLYN
i have been back all my 10 pages and i can't find my/your Question can you resend i am sorry :(:( carolyn
I wondered how you got your screen name. Very clever. Nothing I plugged in was available, so I was just only me. :)
Carolyn,
Copied the PM here.... nothing really private about it.....
I didn't forget you. I finally found where I got the Alphabet that you were asking about. It was from AnntheGran under alphabets.
I took the time to read and see if it was ok to give them to you and I'm afraid I can't. I don't want to get in trouble and don't want to get kicked off Cuties site!
So sorry.... maybe you can find something somewhere else. By the way... they are not free.... you have to join to get them, and I've had so much trouble with her designs that I won't join again.
Other sites have better.

Today all Alphas are on sale at Cute Alpha and they have a really cute one (A for apple, etc) for only $7

I'm not on here a whole lot... and sometimes I forget, and I mostly give flowers only to those I answer or that answer me..... I don't give flowers to any and all..... it would take forever!
I thought the flowers were like a thank-you for helping/answering/etc.
MJDG
lol good one flowers are for any reason so i am giving you one just because and a big fat hug to lol carolyn
I agree it is strange to comment on something and see 6-7 zeros below me! I've been sort of making little extra comments here and there, plus making a point of mentioning I am giving flowers to all below me. Seems people are not bothering to read (or see) comments from others. I don't like to see zeros.
me either //and when i/you /anyone writes like i have you take a BIG CHANCE on people not understanding like reading more into it then meant to be ,all i am saying is when dig. have gone to all that work just say a wee thank-you:):) well thats my story and i am sticking to it hugs carolyn
don't know why.. I hardly also get no flowers :-(
Maybe not enhough people know me or I do not ask may questions or I do not give any hints or tips (don't know yet much to share about sewing) sorry
I rarely go to the DBC but I will try to support you cuties more. You are so right.
Agree and I like to give flowers - But have to admit that sometimes the site is so slow that I give up on giving flowers to all who responded.
can not see a link sorry.
Sorry that you cannot see the link but anyway to show that we can I gave you a flower !!!!!
