[soulmama]

[mamma]

[Hailstorm]

((HUGS)) Michelle, hope you're doing ok remember you're still finding your feet babe ok.

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

they dont exist yet..why you cant see them :)

Once they are up, you will see them listed and you will able to put a join request in. It shouldn't be much longer :)

[mama_bel]

Thanks Mel. I know everyone's hanging out for somewhere to talk, but the hours Mel's putting in are astounding... Hang in there. xx

[Eilleen]

Thanks Mel!

In the meantime, I've set up an "invited members only" social group for us sole parents. Let me know if you didn't get an invite and would like one.

I ticked the box that says only members of the sole parents social group can view content, so hopefully that will work.

[lindylou]

Eilleen I would love an invite if and when I meet the post count requirement, etc... :-)

[Eilleen]

hey Lindy! sure. though I'm not a mod or anything, so no post requirement. Sending you an invite now!

[Eilleen]

Have sent you the invite Lindy. Let me know if you received it.

[Nyree]

Great idea, Eilleen :)

[Donna]

I know the one I need, but nobody else here needs it that I know of :(

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

ok, Ive set up the sole parents forum. CAn you please let me know if you can see it listed on the main forum page?

[mama_bel]

Do you want to PM Mel, Sheryn or I about it, Donna? Maybe we can help?

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

Can anyone who was using another support forum please let me know what it was? Ill add them on request :)

[mama_bel]

Special Needs parents have put in a request via me, Mel.

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

thanks Bel

[soulmama]

I can see the Support forum but no individual forums Mel... :) and apparently I don't have permissions to access them. :laugh

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

thanks C.

How about now, can yo please tell me what you ca see?

Can a non mod also tell me please?

[soulmama]

I can see sole parenting now. :)

[Donna]

Yep it's there, but is says something about asking admin permission. So it's all good :)

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

can you see a thread in there?

[lindylou]

I can see sole parenting and have joined through my user CP- but now I need a password... (do I need to wait until I have a minimum number of posts?)...thanks :-)

[Donna]

Nope can't see any threads :)

[mama_bel]

Is it possible to have a private forum for Mental Health topics members which to discuss - more personal posts than they'd usually share in a public space? Ta.

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

awesome thanks Donna.
Sunds good Bel :)

[soulmama]

Still says I don't have permission.. do I still need to apply Mel?

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

yes you will... lindylu, you will need to apply to join again..sorry...

Was having some issues and had to clear out some stuff, and yours went with it...

[mama_bel]

Thanks for your persistence with the glitches, Mel.

Does anyone have any more requests for private forums? You can post here or PM Mel or I as we're working on this (mostly her, but I try to help, LOL)...

Are there any other forums missing?

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

For existing suport forums, you can make your join request via your usercp.

I will ned to wait until tomorrow to work on some permissions to ensure that your forums does in fact remain private, so please bare with me until then to have access :)

[cherish]

you're a darling Mel.. thanks to you

[SpringMumma]

Mwah, thanks Mel. Will join back up shortly.

[lindylou]

NP Mel :-) Thankyou :-)

[michelle_j_r]

i am so sorry, Mel. I did not mean to sound like i was nagging! i know you are putting in massive hours on this. I only wanted to find out if they were going to be a month off regardless of creating them (no idea how the software works) cos if i had to wait a month i was going to have to sort something else out!!!

thank you, my friend!!

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

You're more than welcome Chelle! :D

For the moment we have the 2 private forums, but the apply part is switched off until I sort out some issues. So if you would like access, please contact one of the admins so they can add you manually :) You will also need a PW to access it.

[Eilleen]

Ah okay, so that's why I couldn't see the how to apply part! Can I please have access to the solo parents forum?

[michelle_j_r]

i'm confused!! (easy to do) but is that what i joined, or is it anothe thing?!?!?! Off to find a clue.... How do i know who is is mod for the support group if i can;t see the support group? Bel was in there before.... i'll go nag at her! hehehe!

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

you should be able to see it..others above have said they can see it ok... (im the mod btw :) ) Can everyone still see the support forums listed? there are currently 2 there under support groups.

Chelle, its different to the temp one Eilleen set up.

[Kali]

I just went to start a thread in Special needs, but the new thread button is not there?

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

hmmmmm hang on...ill pm you

[Kali]

Hey mel. I found the button and I started a thread and then poof, gone! Bugger!

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

no reason it should be doing that..... Can you reply via PM about the access details?

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

ahh it moderated you! LOL!

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

ok, another missed permission fixed LOL!

[JAK]

I can't get into either via the CP. Can I have access to both the sole parenting and the special needs please.

[Joey]

And can I have access to the single parenting one pretty please

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

If anyone would like access to these 2 private forums, please see post #36 :)

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

I need a tester please! :D

Can someone who would like access to either the sole parents or the special needs forum - who does not yet have access - please PM me?

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

OK! all private forums have been sorted!!

Everyone who would like access can now apply via their UserCP. Please PM me once you have applied, so I can accept your join request :)

[Kali]

Thanks again Mel! :heart

[Joey]

I cant figure out how to apply for the single parents one

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

You're welcome Kali! :D

Go to your User CP and under Networking, click on Group Memberships :)

[Snoozie]

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

Soulmama is in now charge of that forum, Ive passed on your request, so Im sure she will be in touch soon :)

[Snoozie]

[Eilleen]

I've sent a thing via my user cp but still haven't heard back. Should I be pm'ing Soulmama too?

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

[mama_bel]

Yay! Thanks Mel!

[Eilleen]

Thanks Mel! :D

[milkymumma]

Is it possible to have a private forum for Mental Health topics members which to discuss - more personal posts than they'd usually share in a public space? Ta.

Just wondering...
is such a forum on its way, or has it been incorporated into the health support section?

[emd]

There is a private Health Support forum, which is different to the publicly accessible Maintaining Our Health forum. Is that what you're looking for?

[milkymumma]

Specifically, I am caring for a partner with mental health concerns, and wondering whether the private health forum would be an appropriate place to seek support with this?

No matter, I will pm the appropriate mod. Should have done that first, duh!

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

Im not sure how much support you will get in there, as it was requested ages ago, but had never been posted in yet :shrug

[Rinelle]

I applied to get in (for the same reasons as Milkymumma), but haven't recieved any reply back?

[milkymumma]

Oh, right... :huh
No matter, I shall think of something!

[milkymumma]

Oh, missed that post, Rinelle. I'm very slow at typing one-handed lol

'k, well I'll apply too, and maybe we can get something happening?
not sure if I am 'old' enough here, though. I mean, in terms of length of IP membership, etc.
are there any minimum requirements?

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

did you PM the mod R?

[Rinelle]

No Meje, I haven't. I figured I'd wait till after all the holiday celebrations etc.

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

ah ok,

Just a reminder to everyone while this thread is active.....if you submit a join request to a private forum, you need to PM the mod of that forum, otherwise no one knows that you have submitted the join request.

Its very frustrating that we don't receive notification of requests - I wish they would add that in!

[Bee]

Thanks Mel... I have done. :)

[Rinelle]

Ahh, thanks Mel, I didn't realise. I'll PM the mod.

[milkymumma]

Just a reminder to everyone while this thread is active.....if you submit a join request to a private forum, you need to PM the mod of that forum, otherwise no one knows that you have submitted the join request.


oh, thanks, I wouldn't have known

[Ethereal]

I've only just received some PM's for access to the private health support forum. Hopefully all those who have asked have been contacted & got all the info they need. Please PM me if needed :heart.
