Hints and tips
  • To quote someone's message, first select/highlight the relevant text, and then use the Quote button that appears
  • To "mention" someone, type @ followed by the start of the forum name, and choose from the list; that person will get a notification of being mentioned

This might make it easier.

Hi

I notice when using the fourm that it is not always easy to tell 'who' someone is. Or to explain it I mean are they someone with autim, a paret/carer, someone that works with people with autism etc.

Many people start their posts by saying which of the above they are but I think it would be helpful to have this information from the people who reply to posts too. Would it be possible to have a it included next to the persons username on the right in the same gray bar at the top of each post. 

I just think it would really help to know if the post was from someone with autism who know's what it is like or from a parent who knows what to do, etc..

Any chance of this happening?

  • Hi Amy,

    That's an interesting suggestion, and I'll raise it with my colleagues. However, such a system would have to operate on the basis of trust - I really don't think it would be fair to ask people to share their medical and professional details with us so that we could 'rate' the users. So it would only be an extension of what we have now, where people can say in the posts or profiles what their connection to autism is.

    How would people feel about a trust-based system?
