How to Join


Welcome!

  The forum is now "semi" private, meaning you will have to be granted entrance to join.  You do this by registering as a member on the forum.   Once you have joined you will receive an email from the Administrator.  Respond to the email questions and your request for membership will be determined as quickly as possible. 

 
 
Please make wise decisions when choosing a User Name for the forum.  More about how to chose a  name.  
 
 
Please do not use graphics, or personal avatars from other web-sites on the forum. Due to over-population most free graphic websites are slow which will reduce the speed of the forum. If you would like to share a photo, please leave a link to the graphic.  To post a photo (Avatar) beside your name, please read the frequently asked questions section at the bottom of this page.
 
 
The "Introduction Section of the Forum"
Please leave the Introduction Forum open for introductions only. New members please make the topic title your name and then tell us who you are. For instance “the Wellman Family” or “My name is Tom.” By doing this, other members can easily refer back to this forum to locate your identity and diagnosis.
 
 
The Technical Section of the Forum
For those that are unfamiliar with using a forum, feel free to use the Technical forum as a place for trials and errors. Test your wings so to speak!  Someone is always on line to help answer your questions.
