Anything else you might need to know!

There are several skins/backgrounds that you can choose for your forum.
There's 'default' which is the regular blue background.
'healing' has the image of a sad child, and is a blue theme.
Then there's 'shadows' which is a plain theme with purple and an image of adult and child's shadows.
Lastly 'writing' has an image of a woman writing and is an orange theme.
You can change the skin by going to your profile and clicking 'modify profile'. The facility to change the skin is part way down.

You may choose your own avatar. This is an image that is displayed by each of your posts. You can change your avatar in the 'modify profile' option described above.
There are a number of pre-loaded avatars. You may choose one of these.
To add your own avatar, upload one that you like to an online account like Photobucket, and paste the URL in the appropriate box.
Be sure to fill in the sizing, or it will revert to a small size. The regular avatar size is 100 x 100 pixels.

Most of our forums are restricted to members. This is to enhance privacy and safety.

Once you reach 25 posts you will have access to personal support forums for any emotional or life issues needing mutual support. In this section there is also a forum for venting, and which doesn't allow replies by other members.
