My understanding is that it will be phased out. The most important thing about the Forum is the people; we will still have those!

Plus, everyone is pretty quick with responses.

The old forum will be switched to 'read-only' mode in a few weeks, depending on speed of the transition. It will then be available for a year or more so that people can read the prior posts. This is the same procedure we used when transitioning from the first discussion group to the current one.

If you have ideas on how to make the transition go more smoothly, please send Sandi or me an e-mail.

Is that what you mean by a signature?

Lots of people sign their names and then write their platelet counts, or their names and their kids' names, treatments, dates of dx, or a quote they like. It's under Basics in the profile section. If you still have an account there, look at your profile and you'll see it at the bottom on the right.

I've e-mailed Jeff who is in charge of the new web site and asked him to 'turn on' the signature capability. I'll let you know what I hear back from him. I appreciate your mentioning this. It is exactly why we have a transition and not just a switch.

Then the old one will be switched to 'read-only' and you'll only be able to post to the new one. I'll post a message to both of the forums a few days before the actual switch.

If you have something you would like to put on the 'to do' list, please let us know. Joan

Please post any additional comments and information there. That way the subject can be separate from the ITP discussion. Thanks.
