Auta i l�m�! Group: Global Moderator Posts: 57 Member No.: 3 Joined: 26-July 07	A question from a newbie: Thanks for registering me - the site is really cool and has a lot of stuff which I will go through - However, most often I had this technical problem given below. Just thought I should let you know. Will try again tomorrow and see if problem persists. Sunshine Ben ---------------------------- Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information. The error returned was: You are not allowed to use the messenger feature on this board Hello, again, Ben, If you have tried to message someone by clicking on the id of the person directly from the forums...that won't work, because members are not allowed to see other people's profiles. Only Global Moderators can do so. You have to go to My Controls then you have to type the nick of the person in "Enter the members name here" and then write a message subject and then the message. and it goes through. :) Once you get a reply from the person, you can see a link "Add to buddies" near his name - just click that and you have him as a buddy and in your address book, so the next time you don't need to type his name but just get it from a drop down list. And Ben, when you have a problem please do write in on the "About the Forums" forum. This way, others can also see the problem and I won't need to explain again. I shall be posting this message as a Q & A, on the said forum. :) Without our email addresses, of course. :) Hope that is cool.

Another question regarding viewing member lists, as asked by Harshad. I am quoting our conversation (first post by Harshad last here) with his permission.

Hello, Harshad,

Nice to hear from you. And to get right down to the question that you asked: No, members are not allowed to see the member list. It's the same at the gaybombay group at the yahoogroups as well. Only Global moderators are allowed this to facilitate smooth functioning and to protect the privacy of the members.

It would be nice if you join in the discussions that happen on the forums. It doesn't matter if you are positive or negative. :) I, like you, have taken the HIV tests and though I have tested negative, I know how the anxiety tortures each time.

So if you feel like writing this - or just writing how you feel on the main forum page - perhaps in the introductions? - it could make someone feel just the slightest bit better - one never knows, after all. :)

Hope you like the way the forum is set - and if there is any problem with the forums please write on the topics given in "About the Forums" - the question you put up here, could be on the minds of others as well. So if you don't mind, I shall post this Q & A on the main forum guide.

Do let me know, if this is cool.

Hi Rish,

Thanks for welcoming me into the community.
For starters, I am HIV Negative. I thank God and more importantly, my deeds for the same. Being HIV Positive is something that I feel surpasses every other pain in the world. The stigma attached with the same, the treatment meted out to those infected, the trauma of living with the disease are all important reasons ...... I remember the mental depreciation that I underwent before I took my first HIV test. It was hell. I tested negative each time I took the test, probably because I don't didn't put myself at risk.
I love GB for every activity that it undertakes. This one too, deserves a pat on your shoulders.
Somewhere within me, I feel associated with this issue. Its not the gay in me ... i guess, its the human .......

Coming to this forum, I am having trouble using facilities in this forum. Are members not allowed to see members ?
Tried clicking on the members link and i was presented with an error each time... Pls sort it out .. Thanks for that ...

Would love to be associated with any programmes that you'd organise. As/If time permits, i'll be there for sure ....

Tc,
Harshad

Group: Global Moderator Posts: 57 Member No.: 3 Joined: 26-July 07	Sorry again for the late reply : and to get to your question, it's perfectly fine to ask questions, if it is in the wrong forum the topic can be shifted accordingly. :) I have spoken to Vikram regarding your queries and he will get back to you on them as soon as possible.
