Definitely Emilio, I was thinking the same. topics go off track very easily. This is understandable though. It’s as if we’re like a dam that has just burst through I big embankment.
I’m guessing like myself, many have been anxious and nervous about the new treatments provided on this site. Getting chatty on the forum is/was a way of feeling out this brave new way of curing and caring for people.
It’s taken me a while to get used to the site too. It’s very well designed but, it’s taken me three weeks to get around to reading the FAQ section. Crazy I know. Luckily Dr. Freeman and the bloggers have patiently answered my questions but I could have taken up less time and space by reading FAQ first. I notice others doing the same. Would it help if FAQ was highlighted in the top bar or incorporated into the blog page.
This is my observation and experience so far for what it’s worth.
All the best,

Yep I think its fine. Its organic and topics are dropped cause they are no longer current

Klhilde’s suggestion is an excellent one, and should be the first change imo. At least it will give people arriving at the forum an indication of the proper structure of the forum. Wrt individual threads, any posts deemed sufficiently relevant and useful long-term should be made into stickys. If it’s a paticularly important post, as many of Dr Freeman’s are (most of which are all over the place and not easily found at the mo), either a ‘reports of distinction’ type of section, or into the FAQ’s.

I know it’s easy for me to say, me not being a mod who has to do it all, but a general tidy up of the threads wouldn’t be a bad thing. All of us regs have been guilty of going offtopic/posting in the wrong threads. On the other hand, as others have pointed out, we want to keep the friendly and ‘human’ aspects of the forum. Some unrelated forums I’m involved with are over-moderated. Little Hitler syndrome springs to mind .

Good point. Fixed. Forum now opens on index page rather than recent.

Wow…..Gee folks…..what can I say…..first of all I’d like to thank…..

I’ll get my head around this later this afternoon, have a chat with the other mods, and start work from there.
