Forum Help

We will be adding instructions, video and other tips on using the forums here.

The discussion forums are based on the buddypress platform. There is quite a bit of information to be found at their site on using the platform. https://codex.buddypress.org/member-guide/

Tip: If you add more than 2 links in an update it will trigger a built in spam rule and the activity update will not post.

Tip: Group Descriptions can be edited by group admins. The description will be displayed on the group home page.

Tip: Embedding videos, images, and other content from web sites that are oEmbed compliant works best.

If you have questions about the functionality of the site — or you have any issues that you can’t resolve — do call us, free, for assistance at 877.223.1968. Our tech people are on California time so do bear that in mind if you’re in central or eastern time zones.

We’re here to help — and we do look forward to hearing from you.

Tip: If you are embedding from the permalink of another wordpress site the best results are found when the site has the post/page excerpt and featured image properly configured.
