Forum Rules and Disclaimer

Please note that the Eating Disorder Forum is a sensitive forum for many of us trying to recover from our eating disorders. Many unnecessary triggers could be avoided by posting a *spoiler* warning in your threads BEFORE your post is read.
*This is a PRO-Recovery Website*
If you KNOW that your post is potentially triggering, please take a moment to insert a Special Item called a *spoiler*, above.
Post a line of asterisks:
**************************************
(followed by the words...)
WARNING: POSSIBLE TRIGGER and then Highlight your potential trigger and click on *spoiler*
Just by doing this little thing, if you can save someone some undue pain, isn't it worth it?
NO numbers, (NO weights, clothing size, BMI, calories, etc.), will be discussed.
Please, be thoughtful of one another. We all have issues we are dealing with.
Take Care,
ED Moderators

(formerly known as a "trigger") How to post a Spoiler: Click on: Add reply. Start your post as you normally would do. When you get to the part you want to post as a spoiler... click on the button that says: "Insert Special Item"... drop down menu will say: "Insert Spoiler", click on that... there is a box there where you will type your "trigger", or "spoiler" into it. (this will "mask" your spoiler).... once inserted text is finished.... click on "ok". This will have put a [ spoiler ] in front of your text, and a [ /spoiler ] in back of your text (without the spaces, of course). When it is finished... it will look like this: I am a spoiler... you can't see me! and only when highlighted with your cursor, can you "see" me! That will give us better and safer triggers, or "spoilers" than ever before! ~Lindsay, Forum Super Administrator -------------------- Be Well.... ~Lindsay ♥, Forum Super Administrator Founder, depressionforums.org Forum Super Administrator DF member since Dec 2001 ---- "I cannot make my mark for all time...those concepts are mutually exclusive. "Lasting effect" is a self -contradictory term. Meaning does not exist in the future, nor do I. Nothing will have meaning, "ultimately." Nothing will even mean tomorrow what it did today. Meaning changes with the context. My meaningfulness is in the here and now. It is enough that I may be of value to someone today. It is enough that I make a difference now." ~Lindsay Hotlines

I thought a "trigger" was mentioning something that might make someone increase their eating disorder or get depressed but a "spoiler" was, for example, telling someone who is reading a book for the first time what happens at the end... -------------------- 'I have not failed.
