Hi 2quik

I think I know what you mean .....a dedicated subject header re 'Daughters of Narcissistic mothers' ? I respect and understand where you are coming from (from my own experience)....yet best left to someone creating their own individual thread topic on the matter

I hope that is somewhat helpful 2quik

my kindest always

Paul

Hi Paul,

I don't think I will create one just yet myself. I am in extremely early phases of stage one healing. No real great dent at this point. Thanks for replying.

2quik

Maybe add a option to where members are able to communicate privately with each other.

I just replied to a response offering contact details to a registered health care professional but not really keen on putting their information out in the public eye.

Hey Sophie, I can't see the strike through selection oddly (on desktop)

Hey Sophie_M

Unfortunately there isnt a strike through or underline function on the forums.....not that I'd really use either come to think of it...I know the moderators dashboard does though

Happy Easter

Paul

Hi guys,

New to BB and the forums and loving them. I have noticed though that none of the posts have a time stamp to indicate when they were generated, only the date. I'm ex Police and TDP (Time, Date, Place) was drummed into us when creating records. I find it strange that we wouldn't want to know how long a post has been sitting unanswered for example, or when a post was responded to.

Just a thought

Rumple :0)

Rumples,

Welcome to the forum.

You may notice on My threads and new posts and in all sections, the time of the last post is listed.

know you are saying that not every post has a time. I am not sure if that is possible or would be helpful. It is an interesting question.

hi Rumples, I wander if the timestamp is deliberately not used here?
It is a shame in terms of not being able to see how long a post has been unanswered,

But I can see advantages to there not being timestamps as well

People may want to post at odd times (insomniacs like me) and not have it recorder as such. Not sure

Hi Hanna

Thankyou for mentioning this and I trust the matter has been dealt with. This is a complex and one of the fastest rotating threads I have seen since I joined...Im not a moderator...just a volunteer and the coronavirus thread topic is a difficult thread to keep up with considering the pandemic we are all going through

Just a note....I wrote a thread about the quality of aged care mental health a while ago and we had many health professionals and members reply..It was difficult to maintain as we dont have many elderly members on the forums which didnt help the thread topic..unfortunately

my kindest always Hanna

Hi Hanna3,

We too object to and remove discriminatory language from our forums.

It is really important to remember that text is not a perfect medium of communication especially for things like tone of voice. This in turn can lead to misunderstandings.

Please be aware that just as the intent of your post may be misunderstood by other readers so too may you misunderstand others' intentions when reading their posts.

This is why we ask all forums participants to please keep in mind the overarching values that guide our community rules (https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/online-forums/community-rules). These five values are: support, respect, empowerment, safety and friendliness.

These rules have been designed in the best interest of the whole of our valued online forums community. If everyone keeps these in mind, misunderstandings should be kept to a minimum.

If you do see anything you think breaches these community rules then please report it to moderators by hitting "Report Post" in the top right corner of each post. If you do that, moderators will review the post immediately.

Remember that references to moderation in the forums is cause for them to be edited or removed as they are off topic and tend to derail conversations designed to help people with their mental wellbeing. Should you wish to query a moderation decision, please get in touch with us privately via email and we will respond on the next business day. Please note also, that while always open to review, moderators' decisions are final.

Thanks for flagging this with us Matchy69 and Sleepy21. Our IT experts are investigating.
