Tell me about it!. Review on Zeher

The forum at: https://xsorbit26.com/users5/health/index.php is for anyone to join and contain various subjects, a lot of which are dedicated to health problems. They were the brainchild of a Mouthshut member, and are run by myself and other members of the sites and non- site members too.

SO WHAT IS A FORUM? A forum is a place where you can go and offer advice or ask questions online, very similar to a chat room ? with the exception it isn?t usually in real time (other than private messaging when two members are on at the same time). So for example if you have a question concerning diabetes, you?d visit the site and click on the section for diabetes.

Click on ?new topic? and enter your question. When it is read by other members they might very well be able to answer your query. Alternatively, you may be able to help someone else. Of course you don?t need to pose or answer questions. But use it to make friends and chat about whatever takes your fancy.

HOW IS IT KEPT FREE FROM UNWANTED POSTS? (Moderators) The health forums have a list of moderators who use their skills without being biased to ensure the smooth running of the site. They are able to report items they find to the administrator or remove them themselves. In addition there is a button on each posting for you to click to ?report to moderator??So if you see something you feel in not right simply click the button. You can contact a moderator or the administrator easily by clicking on their name and sending a private message.

HOW MUCH IS MEMBERSHIP? Nothing! Membership to the site is totally free and you do not have to pay anything, download anything, or click anything. The only thing you do have to do is complete the short joining form (a legality these days I believe)

WHAT SUBJECTS ARE COVERED? We have a good list of health problems to join in from Bad backs, to Cancer, from Diabetes to Liver problems. In addition we have plenty to talk about if you don?t fancy chatting about health problems, for example: Entertainment (discussing TV, film, music etc), Current affairs (the latest news), Dreams and superstitions (what do dreams mean, and why won?t we put an umbrella up indoors), and many more. Plus we are open to any more suggestions for categories, so if you feel something should be there let us know.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I WANT TO ADD A SUBJECT OR ASK A QUESTION? Easy, simply contact the moderator or Administrator with your request and it will be dealt with promptly. Additions can be added to any thread in existence simply by clicking the ?new topic? button. Any questions will be answered as soon as the moderator comes online. You can also ask for subject to be removed or moved in the same way. We want to maintain a happy, healthy forum for your pleasure.

WON?T EVERYONE KNOW ALL ABOUT ME? No, simply join using any username you wish ?it doesn?t have to resemble your username on Mouthshut or any other site come to that?So on Moutshut you could be Happy1 whereas you could list yourself on the health forums as Woodworker, the username is entirely up to you, the idea is to create an informal place online to share problems, fun, jokes and tips. You won?t be bombarded with unwanted emails either?

DO I NEED TO BE ILL TO JOIN? Absolutely not! Some of our members simply join for the fun part of the site and only read the health part when they feel like it.

DO I HAVE TO VISIT EVERY DAY? Again the answer is no! You visit whenever you want, or feel you have time. There is absolutely no obligation to visit, although we welcome you at any time? and love to see you.

THE SITE: The site gives an overall impression of professionalism, and contains a comprehensive list of both medical and non medical listings to post in. The colour of light blue and white, give it a general cleanliness feel. Clicking on a topic is easy enough although a few clicks may be needed to post or reply to a subject. You can create a profile with as much or little information as you want. You can also chose an avatar or upload your own to go on your profile and postings.

MY THOUGHTS: As the owner of the site I am obviously biased although I am aware that there could be problems with it, and I am open to advice and tips to improve it. The site is easy to use and easy to register on?Whether you have any health problem or just want to meet up and give your view online then this is a good place to start.

Finally, I would like to thank some people for helping me in various ways: Elainebaba; Louise90; Aimeelou1984; Whitbybunny; BOBKINS UK; Stuleg; and Sara. In addition anyone else who has helped that I have overlooked please accept my thanks. The site is at: https://xsorbit26.com/users5/health/index.php

Thanks for reading - Dave
