Q:
How do I change my email address, password, forum options, User Profile, signature, and other personal settings?
A:
Click My Settings at the top of any forum page. Then click any of the links on the left side of the page and change the settings you see.
Q:
What are signatures and what should I set mine to?
A:
A signature is a short message that appears beneath the text of each message you post in the forums. Use of a signature is optional.
The convention at Marrowforums is to use a signature that indicates your relationship to the patient, the diagnosis, and perhaps the treatment(s) used. This gives context to your posts, so forum readers understand your situation and you don't have to explain those basic facts each time you ask a question.
We suggest that you set your signature to be a single line, even if it is long, rather than multiple short lines. The forum software will automatically wrap the lines based on the window width.
You are welcome to use abbreviations, such as dx for diagnosed, but it is not necessary.
Example signature:
Jane, mother of John age 12, diagnosed AA 2003; treated with ATG in 2004, currently on cyclosporine.

Q:
Can I have an avatar (a picture of me under my User Name next to my posts)?
A:
No, not currenty. If there is enough demand, we may add this feature in the future.
