New members - please read :)

[Guest]

hi and welcome!

just a little note to reiterate our post in the Come In And Say Hi thread, in which you will have posted a brief introduction before your account was fully activated.

that thread, once you are a fully registered member, will not be visible to you any more, and even if you receive notifications that someone has replied to you in there, please don't worry - it simply means that another new member has come in and introduced themselves.

our Admin email account receives many queries from newly registered members, asking why they cannot access that thread and see replies to their initial brief introduction post - and although we have explained how that thread works in the opening post there, it seems that there is still confusion.

i hope this clarifies the situation

any queries regarding the Come In And Say Hi thread can be posted here.

thanks.

yes, it's a top secret place, dark and terrifying, and only the bravest of staff are allowed in there..... :bat:




lol. seriously - it's a temporary holding area for new registrations... simply a device which so far has worked brilliantly, to filter real genuine members from spammers.

Im under the impression that one of the mods will read your posts and decide if you are real, then grant you privaliges for the rest of the board, so it may take a couple of days

welcome to the forum anyway

Yes, they are usually pretty fast about it....

Hi, I'm 36, and have suffered from UC for approx 15yrs now. Generally, it's under control and even flare-ups can be controlled by steroids and a few weeks off work. Not a nice disease tho and totally embarrassing to talk about unless you know someone else that suffers. I'm presently on the max dose of balsalazide and being weaned off steroid enemas - those were an eye opener!! LOL.

So, that's me. how's everyone else?

i have now closed this thread, as new members seem to be posting their introductions in here, rather than in the Your Story forum as requested.

if you have posted your intro here, please repost it in Your Story.

if anyone still has any confusion regarding the Come In And Say Hi thread, please reread the first post above, and all will become clear.

thank you.
