Yes, that’s Rose, that’s a good explanation of the reasoning behind the choice for the software.

The reasons for doing it are basically because we couldn’t continue with obsolete technology.

First I want to say Happy Thanks giving to all BrainTalk Community Members wherever you may be, no matter how long you have been absent. You are always welcome.

I am happy to be able to spread...

I first came to BrainTalk sometime around 1999. I was simply looking for something on the internet to take the place of a real life epilepsy support group that I had founded with the help from the...

Hi everyone,

Sorry to hear about the increase in seizures. I certainly can understand that, am dealing with it too. I hope you have otherwise been well.

Great to see you back crow!

Excellent question Rose, and a very viable concern.

Yes agate, that number can be changed. Mike and I will discuss what might be a more reasonable maximum, and I'll leave it to Mike to do the dirty work.

Any further questions or comments' please...

That's supposed to be behind us. lol

Where you ask??? Well, I'm no expert, that's why we have you (Mike) do this.:wink: That way I can come up with ideas, you tell me how viable they are! But upon seeing your reply, and looking...

I still notice there is some significant space left. Perhaps for unregistered visitors there could (should) be a decent sized banner/button/link that invites them to join.

Good luck in your efforts. Another alternative may be to rally them here to BrainTalk Communities. I would be perfectly willing to reopen the ACC forum here. All it would take is a few more active...

It pains me to hear about such happenings. This sort of negative treatment towards another solely due to their medical condition is simply unacceptable and dehumanizing. If practiced by the members...

I never like to say there isn't a way, or that there is no hope in completing any specific task. Unless our former SYSOP JL was grossly mistaken in his reports when we did meet online, he had made...

Seasons Greetings to one and all!

Mike and I would be more than happy to add any forum back, if there is a demand for it. The reason the old Sexuality forum was dropped is because it had only 25 threads, of which only 4 of them had...

I regret I have been absent for so long. It seems things just have not been going my way for a while. It started with my own neurological disorder, Epilepsy giving me problems. ...

From what I have come to know of you over the years here at BrainTalk, I believe that this would be a wonderfully fulfilling and enjoyable challenge...

My "thanks" button isn't here either, so thanks Mike for taking the time to design these yourself.

I also agree with those that prefer style #2. I find it easier on my eyes. *eye*eye

My first guess to why the "Thanks" feature is not visible in the Biggie style is that by default the "Thanks" button was on the right. Mike had to move it to the left to make it show up. This...

I have just merged the two Alcoholism, Addiction and Recovery forums into one. The one and only forum with this title is now located under the General Health Issues category. :o

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The best solution will be to merge the two. As you point out, it is confusing having two forums with the same name.

Yes, the BrainTalk Communities forums and its archives are, and have always been available for the entire world to read. To find them, all you need do is use a search engine like Google. That is the...

I have the same hopes Ging. I will also be trying to see if we can get things going again in the chatrooms. I would like to see them more active in the coming year.
