NEW FEATURES

Ok, I am very excited about the new features this new upgrade provides us!

As you can see in my last post, we have the option to schedule Live Chat Sessions whenever we'd like. Our first one starting tonight at 6pm EST!

Secondly, members have asked to be notified when someone responds to their post. This is now possible and in fact, the frequency by which you're notified can be adjusted, if you'd like. Here's how it works:

- Everyone's profile has been set-up to receive notification of a response to their post immediately. This is the default setting.

- Everyone has the ability to go into their profile and edit how frequently they receive such notifications. For example, if you would only like to be notified once a day of all responses to your posts, you can select this as an option. The options are:

- Immediately
- Every hour
- Twice a day
- Daily
- Weekly

In order to edit your profile, please follow the instructions below.

While logged-in as a registered member, go to the url and at the end of the url insert a forward slash (/) and then the word "user." This will take you to your profile. For example "www.allabouthim.com/user"

Please note - we are working to create a tab you can easily click on to edit your profile, but for now this works if you want to take a look.

Click on "Notifications"

Scroll down and select "Edit your Notifications"

Under "Default Send Interval," select the frequency (immediately, every hour, twice a day, daily or weekly)

I hope you enjoy these new features and welcome feedback at all times on how to improve our forum. Thanks! xoxo

Lisa - question about articles

Wow! The new site looks fantastic! The layout is cleaner and the new features are great! I know that the site administration here has changed a bit, so I wasn't sure where to address my question, but here goes: do we still need to refrain from posting articles from 3rd party sources on the board? If not, is there a process that you'd like us to follow for citations? Would you prefer that we submit the articles somehow for prior approval? I don't want to get anyone in copyright trouble!

I LOVE your profile pic! Too cute! Great question! Yes, we always must cite any 3rd party sources or articles we post. I know often times, we're very excited because we find something that is extremely helpful and we post it without citing it. I know that these authors are happy we find their information helpful, but we must always remember to provide their name as well as a link to the original source of the work on the internet. As long as we do this, we can share as much wisdom from others as we'd like. There is a lot out there so we might as well share the knowledge with one another! Just be sure to give credit where credit is due. Thanks!

I would love to put up my pic as I love for everyone to have a face with the name but here's the thing Im married. Is there anyway that the forum will go private to members only?

sick of it

No plans to take the forum private because I feel strongly that many people read here for a long time before they are ready to post. We typically have more guests than users and I believe that's because people need to read all of your stories before they can "get real" with themselves. I know I denied that the love of my life was permanently disordered for years. It's not easy to accept. When most people sign-up, they say they have been reading for 6 to 8 months or more before even being ready to post. I wouldn't suggest posting a pic. Hope this answers your questions. :)

Yippee!

Love all the pink! A real easy way to get to our profiles for adjusting settings etc. is the link on the lower right side. I don't think we need a special tab. You've put a lot of work in already - relax and enjoy it Lisa!! (hugs) Missed you all over the past 24 hrs! Journey on...

Journey on...
