BLOG ENTRIES:

Blog entries are the only areas of the site where unregistered guests may post comments.

Please keep comments on blog entries specifically related to the entry at hand. The biggest reason the site was moved to this new format was the impossibility of finding specific information in 100+ comment threads in the old WordPress format.

If a blog entry makes you think of some anecdote or experience you've had, or makes you think of a question you'd like to find the answer to, head over to the appropriate forum area, and start a new discussion there!

FORUMS:

All categories in the "Information" section are open to the public for viewing, but only registered site members can post. In general, discussions in the Forum Information area are intended to be 'question and answer' type discussions for people who are looking to learn more about a subject, comments about different supplements or alternative health approaches they have found helpful, or posts sharing web site or book recommendations where people can find good information on hypothyroidism and related health concerns. Please be specific in noting when you are speaking from your own personal experience or expressing your own opinions, so people do not confuse your post with "expert" medical advice!

The "Site Support" area is a mix of public and private forums. The "Rules and Guidelines" area is open to public viewing, but is mostly read-only. It features topics to help visitors and members get the most out of the site, and members can post questions about the site's policies and procedures. The "Technical Support" area is a members-only perk, where registered members can post questions about how the site works, report any bugs in the site software, and have an administrator answer their questions.

The "Off Topic" area is for general chit-chat about any topics not related to medical issues or the function of this site in particular.

SUBSCRIBER BENEFITS:

Subscribers are given their own blog they can use to share their own experiences with hypothyroidism, as well as being able to sign up for email notifications for updated forum topics and blog posts. The goal of offering paid subscriptions with benefits is to be financially able to spend more time developing thyroidstory.mivox.com into a better, more comprehensive and more useful resource for everyone. So, as the site grows, you'll have the subscribers to thank!

We recommend reading the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, if you have any questions about what registration and participation on the site entails.
