Props

How do props work.  I keep running out.  Do I count 24 hours from when the sign pops up that I have run out of props for the day........or what does "day" mean in Phatmass terms - does "the day" start at a certain time and finish at a certain time?

(Most of my props run out I think because of staying in touch with the Prayer Forum, reading each post and including the intentions in daily prayer.......and giving a prop to that post which lets the poster know members have read the post and are praying -  and a really important matter in my book.  In times of difficulty and crisis it can be a real consolation to know that others really care and are praying.  Oh well, in the final analysis, The Lord hears our prayers I know -  even if props have run out and for how long is mysterious.......at least to me).

Was about to prop your post and - yup, out of props. I never seem to have enough and once I have run out I seem to keep on running out.

 

Prayer room is the case in point. I would like peeps to know I am praying and if props are gone.......as you say, the prayer is what counts but all the same. I say we start a campaign for more props.

On a more serious note, for the people looking to use up their props in the prayer room: I believe the default prop limit per day is still greater than the average number of new prayer posts each day. :P

I am not positive, but I think that there is some kind of 'average' number of props (12? 15?), but that the reset of them is a 'rolling' thing.

 

Now what that means is that if you have 12 props to use in a 24 hour period and you punch 5 or 6 prayer requests and then a bunch of other posts one after the other... you could find yourself suddenly prop-less....

 

... but you might have 'em back in just a few hours when you hit the 24 hour limit on one or a few you propped the day before.  

 

I hope that makes some kind of sense?  

 

(And I am not 100% sure....)

PS. Does anyone else feel weird giving props in the Prayer Forum when it's sad news? I know people here understand you're not giving props to the sad news itself, but regardless it still feels weird.

I have been in other forums where we reply to a pray request with a prayer smiley, so I just think of it as that is what props turn into in the prayer subforum.

I've done this, but not always, if everyone else is like me I believe it is a way for people to offer support. A quite way to say I am praying with you, without saying it, since it is not possible to reply otherwise in the prayer room.

Yeah.  I have often wished (while not making any negative comment at all about the glorious stuff we do get here for FREE) that what was in the prayer room was a simple check-off box that just said 'praying'.  Because a lot of us DO use a lot or most of our props in there to send that message.....

I can't make the rules, so what I have decided to do in future is prop in the Prayer Forum and if I come across a post I would like to prop in other forums, put in a post drawing attention to the post in question rather than simply prop it.

 

Thank you for all responses.
