CS, I have thought about this as well; I think the high-energy types have "low" periods, but overall they are the ones that went quickly, DID stuff about sorting their new lives, etc.  This may be a spectrum as well, from the lowest lows (those who just lie on the sofa an moan) to the most manic monsters.

T&L,

Thanks for verbalizing this.  I saw the same in the beginning, went quickly filed quickly; however now I see lowest of lows when I do see him, which has been quite a long time.

Guess the "manic shopping spree" wore him down when the money ran out.  At the spousal support hearing all I hear was how sad it was he had been forced to eat raman noodles.  Oh spare me, who caused that crap?

Insanity, just complete insanity and so tough to grasp their behavior, because these men are someone we don't know or recognize.

RCR couldn't be more correct when she states they show symptoms of bipolar behavior.

I'm making some progress.
I uploaded a modifcation for putting the icon aassociated with groups in the info with each post. I had wanted jsut the group name, but when I saw an example it looked nice.

So I've created a bunch of icons. I have the mentor group icons almost finished and the others I have the blank icon created and now I just have to go add the specific groups, save each file and upload.

But you may notice that the icons are a tad long--only by a few pixels. The mentor groups are now showing and they protrude just a tad into the posting text.

That should be an easy fix--they are so long because ReadyToFixMySelfFirst's name is so long! 

So that will just be an easy fix.

But I don't know how well it will work. It works now simply because I've only created the mentor groups and so there are not two icons to show. Some people at the mod thread talked about some difficulties and therewere a ton of code fixes, so I may need to wade through those eventually.

This will do nothing to make them searchable, but at least you will be able to see who has what type of MLCer--supposing you've added yourself to a group.

Oh YAY, the group buttons are working!

For some groups--apparently the mentor groups and mods at least--it also shows up in text as it had before. I don't know if there is away to remove those now, though it's minor and I'm not concerned.

I think this modification that puts the icons out is separate from the typical board rule that allows for only one or two group memberships to show up--in text, so that's why all the icons show even though the text for each group does not--I think.

Current membership stats as of 12-5-2011

On the first page of this thread are links for all the groups, if you want to read their threads or in RCR's post it tells you how to sign up for the groups.

For some reason, my Boomerang isn't showing up under NewBeginnings.  It was there and now it's gone.  I even just deleted it and rejoined Boomerang but it still isn't showing up.   Anyone have any suggestions?

NB

[Rollercoasterider]

That is because the system only allows for one membergroup to show up.

I added a modification that allowed for more, but that was the mod that caused those error messages a few weeks back--some people couldn't post at all and no one could read any of their posts, new or old.

So I've set up a test forum where I can test mods before adding them over here, cause I want that mod back.

Thanks for bumping this up. I am wondering if I should reclassify my H as an Off-n-On? I haven't seen him in 3 weeks and the only communication was me asking for $ for the joint acct last week. I had him down as a Clinging Boomerang, but the dynamics seem to be changing. If I reclassify him, will this start to show as a pattern of behavior for future CB's?

EDIT - I think as the crisis goes along they can change, or you get more information.
I would wait to see if it really is a trend 3 weeks is nothing for now.(in MLC time) - OldPilot

My MLCer type isn't showing, I joined a group, am I doing something wrong?

No it is because you have a mentor, you are signed up, good job.

It is a help to know what kind of contact types everyone is and at some point in the future we may be able to
show who is in each group. RCR and I are able to view these groups.

Thanks for participating.

I know that RCR touched on this topic recently on one of her blog posts, but I would love to see more info on LBS types.  Something to think about.
