Why this new board?
« on: November 25, 2013, 02:25:33 pm »
After working quite well for over 7 years, the easyphpBB version of MS Speaks developed some problems that weren't easily solved. So I'm moving the board here.

I'm giving links to the old board as sticky threads in each category here, and at the top of the page there is a tab that will take you to the old board as well.

The old board will still be there but posting will be done here instead.

This change makes it possible to redesign the layout somewhat, to make it easier to find the variety of MS treatments now available. Some other features will be easier to use too.

There is a photo gallery for posting photos.

I'll be notifying all members whose e-mail addresses I still have so that those who have kept on reading here can continue to be listed as members.

If you want to search for all threads or posts on a topic--Copaxone, for instance--you'll have more results if you do your search on the old board. Everything there is still working.

The search function here won't be able to search the old board, though. So find one of the many links to the old board here if you're going to do  a search.

I'm sorry there aren't better emoticons here, and I'm sorry that the orange text doesn't show up well. I'm going to be trying to find improvements as time goes by.

This promises to be a more readable and convenient arrangement here. :)

I'm in the process of transferring registrations over to this board. You should be receiving a notice of your new password, which you can of course change if you like.

Less active sections of the old board have been included here as "child boards" with a redirect linking you to the old board. 

The MS Treatments section has also been broken down into "child boards" as you'll see.  Just click on one of the treatment titles to go to the section for that treatment.
