Welcome To The NAFC Patient Community!

[Administrator]

Hello! Welcome to the official message boards of the National Association For Continence (NAFC). We are a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that is dedicated to reducing the stigma of incontinence and other bladder and bowel health conditions. We provide education, support, and community (like this message board!) to those touched by incontinence.

We're so happy that you've decided to join us here. This community is a wonderful resource, full of supportive, warm, and inviting people, who understand what you've been going through. They're full of advice, ready to jump in with comforting and compassionate words, and always eager to lend an ear. So browse through these boards, take your time to read what people have to say, and once you're ready, jump on in.

The main thing we ask you to remember is to be kind and respectful of everyone on the boards. It takes courage to write about personal conditions and we want everyone to know that they are welcome here. We also ask that you do not post inappropriate pictures of yourself in an absorbent product. This forum is not the place for that, and your picture will be removed immediately. Repeat offenders will be removed from the forum.

In addition, unless posted by NAFC, all opinions and advice recommended by others are their own and cannot be viewed as professional medical advice.

Finally, while we typically find everyone here to be kind, truthful people, please keep in mind that these are anonymous message boards, and we urge you to use discretion when deciding to share personal information with others (full names, addresses, phone numbers, etc.). NAFC advises against sharing any personal information with anyone on the message boards.

In addition to these message boards, we encourage you to take some time to explore our site, nafc.org, by clicking through the links above. You'll find lots of great resources and education about bladder and bowel health, tools to help you manage your condition, and more. Here are a few places you may want to start:

How to private message in the new format?

It should be under Start a conversation when you click of someone's profile. Also, you can now follow people.

Hi All! Welcome! I just wanted to let you all know that we have the Archives from the old message boards below for reference, but they are closed for all replies and comments. Any new messages should be started in the new sections. Thanks!

Are we still going to get emails when a new topic is started?

Welcome back, Yes. I get emails about every post that I was involved in now as well as new posts.

I was wondering why I was not receiving emails too

I looked at the help and have a few suggestions

1) An easier way to see a list of the subforums with the options in the popup box

2) A way to review my options for the subforums



What I discovered - correct me if I am wrong.

To see a list of subforums (or what every they are called).

If I’m getting all the emails, then there just aren’t very many any more? Is this the experience of others, also?

@Administrator Luckily there are threads extending over more than one page now. When I open these threads as I see there are new messages, I am taken to page 1, while the new stuff is at page 2 or 3. Would it be possible to open the page containing the newest message or reply by default?

Unfortunately this isn't possible at the moment but we will keep this in mind for future updates.

Perhaps people are just having to figure out how to use it. It seems more complicated, and I say that having spent my career in computers. It has taken me a couple or three days just to get this far. I haven't gotten any e-mails yet.
