Just wondering how folks are using the Portal.

What do you find most helpful?

Is there anything that you were hoping to find there but didn't see?

Thanks you fab four! hugs.gif hearts.gif

I feel badly that members are not noticing our home page 'Portal' and taking advantage of what depressionforums has to offer. Very few members do not even use the shout box on the main menu! oops.gif (We can start using it rolleyes.gif )

There is a week long series in the middle of the Portal under "Stories". The last column. It's about a family
"Schizophrenia, one family's story - Voices in his head ". I started it yesterday, but if you click on News in the menu on the left of the Portal and click on 'Stories' you will see both entries.
It's fascinating...a great insight into the world of mental health and it is so touching.
Please read it. You can also comment to any article in the Portal by clicking on 'comment'. Coopwink.gif

Please members if you have a chance to go look at your home page,let us know by answering this poll and posting in here...

I see the Portal every time I check in because it's in my Favourites. I look for:
Breaking news on Mental Health (I really appreciated the news on VNS!)
Those gorgeous pictures on the upper right corner *shhhhhh I've saved many of them to my Pictures!*
Recent threads...many times this is my jump-off point, as I go to check these out
I also like to see if there is anything new in drugs
And learn something about mental health issues that I am not familiar with
It is a very nice-looking home page and does the forums proud! Glad to have the opportunity to give my opinion, KA Coopclapping.gif

I use it often, for info on meds, news, and info related to mental illness. Yeah, I'm the guy you see standing in the grocery store aisle reading the back of the box of everything I pick up! Too curious for my own good, I guess....
