i'd be ever so honored. but first you might have to learn how to fly . . .

(tries to impersonate laura but realizes that it might be difficult, as her math skills are not exactly up to par)

i think that when your status changes (like when you turned into a "board admin"), the setting changes to not allow sigs.

but i've reset yours; can you see them now?

i've gone ahead and changed it for you; let me know if you have any problems.

(and b, your answer sounded right to me. )

i can see how the admin thing is confusing. the people listed as "moderators" for the main board are actually the admins (but there's no way you would know that just from looking.)

i think we're going to add a contact list somewhere; it's a really good idea.

good ideas, laura and mallie. i usually type longer posts and pm's in a word processor and then cut and paste, just in case they get gobbled up by the internet demons before i can post them. but i hadn't thought of simply sending things to myself.

Yeah but problem with that is that they have to be online right (admins)? There's no easy and not forgetable way to find who's an admin/mod, where, how to contact her/him, the ombudsmen - what are they for, how do I contact them, regarding what shall I contact sine nomine and bla bla.' I just simpl...

it looks like this happened to all the new member advocates. i think i fixed it for all of you, but feel free to give a holler if i missed anyone.

i reset it for you, aquana; let me know if it's working now.

this seems to have happened for a number of people; i'm wondering if it's related to a change in status, as i think it happened to me right after i became an admin.

i would like that, too.

i have no idea how tricky it would be, but i'd also like the ability to save a draft of a pm, as i often start writing them and get interrupted halfway through.

The temptation is to just let things slide so at least I would know who I am, even if it would be a bad identity. just curious— do you think this actually works, in terms of giving you a stable identity? i can understand why a slip might seem like it brings a kind of clarity. but from another point...

sometimes when people have a post edited here and get pm'd about it, it can lead to a bit of (very understandable!) anxiety. these are some things that might be helpful to remember if you find yourself in that situation: :grnstar: really, everyone here makes some kind of mistake at some point. it's ...

What I've been worried about is that I won't need SI anymore, and I'm scared to let go of it. It makes me feel strong that I can hurt myself, and I didn't want to lose that "strength". i can relate; i have a hard time with that issue, too. maybe some questions that might be worth thinking about: wh...

that does sound like a difficult situation. i can well understand the frustration. with the anger piece— what sense do you make of it that you're angry at someone else , and so you hurt yourself ? not that i don't understand it emotionally, as i've done the same kind of thing; i just think it can be...

that's cool that you made it through. :) But also something says that if I had serious problems, I could take soem time off. Yet as I know, even when I started therapy for SI and everything ... I didn't give myself time off. So SI doesn't guarantee a break. just wanted to say that i really relate to...

i really hear you. that's a tough urge to fight; it's something i'm battling in my life right now, too. so i think that's fabulous that you're doing stuff to resist. like plantt and angela, i think that answering questions about what's going on for you can be really helpful. i know that i often want...

cool. i really like this feature.

i've changed yours, mab; let me know if it still doesn't work.

yeah, i'm not getting them, either. it seems like this happens occasionally (and then it starts working again and i get overwhelmed by a backlog of them all coming at once! )

just for reference, these are the usergroups which we currently have on bus: welcome wagon is a group of people who want to help with welcoming new people to the board and making them feel at home. please be healthy is a place for discussion of health issues (exercise, eating habits, sleeping habits...

i've pm'd you.

in case anyone else is wondering, you just have to contact one of the admins and we can do it for you.
