Hi everyone! 

Some exciting updates! The new page layout is coming soon so we have some more screen shots and some navigational tips so you are fully prepared when the page goes live, yay! 

As you saw previously, there will be tabs that help you navigate around the forums. So, lets dive in together: 

1. Discussions Tab: This space is for all your latest discussions and featured threads under the new spotlight area 

2. Events tab: This area is for special forum events any forum news  

3. Spaces tab: Previously you would have seen all the different forum categories at the bottom of the landing page under latest discussions and group hubs. Now all the categories and group hubs are here together to bring you spaces!  

4. Start new thread, notifications and profile area. This banner area has your notifications, profile drop down and start new thread button (when logged in). You can access these no matter what area of the forums you go to. If you are not already in a space you want to post, you just click start a new thread, then select where in the forums you want to post it via the drop-down menu under ‘select location’. 

*To start a new thread in Friends, Family & Carers and Talking Through Trauma please go into those spaces directly, the feature for these areas is a bit different and something we are working on 

3. This is what the spaces area looks like! 

5. My Favourites: Do you have a space that you post in regularly, or maybe its a space you like to keep up to date with? You now have a ‘My Favourites’ area on the top right of the screen. If you click the star on a space it will automatically go to your favourites area!  

Lastly for those on mobile, here are screen shots of how it will appear for you! 

We hope this helps everyone feel prepared and ready. Looking forward to engaging with you all in the new-look forums! Stay tuned!
