Dear all,
We have some exciting news!
Due to a system upgrade, we are relaunching our online Community forum on a new platform with a refreshed look optimised for mobile at the beginning of June.
What does this mean for you?
The website address will stay the same and the existing threads and forum profile names will be carried over to the new platform.
Due to the updated technology there will be some small changes to the way the forum is presented; the categories will be reorganised to make it easier to find discussions, and profiles may present slightly differently.
Why are we doing this?
We're continually seeking new and improved ways to support the autistic community and to raise awareness about autism among the public. By updating our online Community forum we can ensure it will continue to work for years to come.
Would you like to help us test it?
We’re keen to get feedback from Community members on the usability of the new platform, and help us spot anything that needs tweaking. More information here: www.autism.org.uk/.../user-testing.
If this sounds like something you would like to get involved with please use this link to send us an email Community Manager inbox (communitymanager@nas.org.uk). We are only able to select a small amount of participants for user testing, but greatly appreciate all our users volunteering their time to help the forum. Please make sure that the email contains your username on the community forum and your full name.
What’s next?
We will keep you posted with further updates, however if you have questions about the relaunch you can contact us using the Community Manager inbox (communitymanager@nas.org.uk).
Best wishes,
Community Manager
The new online community update has been delayed due to techincal difficulties. We want to make the new community the best possibly community for the users and therefore are unable to go live with the change tomorrow.
The new update will be happening very soon, and we want to thank you for your patience while we work on it. Please come back to the community to find out when the update will be complete!
Thanks,
Hol (Moderator)
Hello all,
The Community is updating to a new look platform on Thursday 8th June 2017.
All current threads will still be available on the new community, but with a new streamline look and feel. There will also be some new added features such as individual profile pictures.
During the 8th June 2017 the community will be unavailable for a few hours while we are updating the site. We thank you for your patience during this time.
We hope you enjoy the new look community!
The moderators
