Your thread is on page 5.
Sorry there hasn't been much traffic.
can you go there and tell a little more: children? ages? years together? first M? "issues"? What's he saying exactly?

Hello,

I tried a post on the 3rd, but nothing has shown up. It says I have 1 post in my profile, but no where else.

Also, no matter how short I make it, it says my signature is too long.

Help please! Thanks.

Just answered this question and thought I would also post the answer here so I could find the answer again if someone needs it.

I do have one question that is related to board operations and not to my situation.

Is there any way that I can set it up to receive e-mail notification when there are new posts in threads that I am following?

OK I have been researching this question as I do not use this function but it DOES work.

I have just tested it and got my first e-mail from DB.

Let me see if I can explain it.

There are quite a few steps to set it all up.

1) At the top of your topic it says - New Reply - and then another box that says topic options.

There is a drop down menu and one of the choices is to "Add topic to your Watched Topics" - select that.

Then go to "MY STUFF" and click on "WATCH LISTS"
Then another page comes up and you must click on "Watched Topics"
and then "Edit Watched Topics"

Then you will get a choice of
E-Mail Notification
None
Immediately

Select Immediately
Then at the bottom hit
UPDATE WATCHED TOPICS.

That should set it up correctly,
it is working for me. Good Luck!

is there a way to change a posting icon?

is there a way to change a posting icon?

Before you post yes, but since editing is not allowed then afterwords no

Hi,
I tried to add a signature earlier but it kept saying I went over the allowed characters but didn't tell me how many I can use. Is there a different number of available characters for newbies on moderation? Or do I need to wait until I'm off moderation to add a signature?

Which forum is MOST appropriate for me?

If you are new to this site, and especially if your spouse has a foot out the door--start with Newcomers, at least initially, to learn the basic techniques/skills. You will also want to check out the Divorce Remedy forum. Then:

If you are dealing with the specific issue of Infidelity, you might like to check out that forum.

If you are having trouble with a SEX-STARVED MARRIAGE, you may also like to find some support and creative solutions on that forum.


When your spouse is really willing to work with you, and has stopped talking about leaving, you are PIECING. I'll explain later, but it's important to catch that step and act accordingly. This is the space in which to really build your skillset and strengthen your relationship. You may find you backslide here, that's ok. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off--you're still 'Piecing' unless you really want to join a different forum. There is no need to go back to newcomers. You just begin again with a 'Beginner's Mind' if you need to.


Later, when you feel yo uare on more solid ground or that you have advanced, we have a forum for you if you'd still like to work on your DB skillset and get support: After Reconciling--Keeping the Changes Going.


We have other forums that you may want to check out, but this is the 'nuts and bolts'.

I remember

Hi, I'm not sure how to contact a mod here. I don't think PMs are allowed?
I tried to change my display name about three or four days ago. It said it had to be approved by a mod. I'm just not sure if I done it right though. Can someone loil In to it for me please?
