Message Board for TLBC Patients

[Yoda 0]

Like Drs Coburn/Mumford, TLBC has also started a message board (accessible from their website: www.tlbc.ca).

They also have a "TLBC Buddy Program".

I just registered for the online support forum (msg board) so I haven't been able to use it yet...so am unable to provide a review on user friendliness etc. I'll know more once I have been accepted as a registrant.

Any other TLBC pers tried it out at all?

It's not all mandatory. ICQ is a chat program (like msn messenger)....if you don't have it, you can just leave it blank. Actually, even if you do have it, you can leave it blank.

As for the other stuff, I will have to go look again.

I cannot get on this board. I have been trying for 2 days. I put my user name loriely in and password and it keeps saying click here to log in.Anyone else having a problem.?

did you get an email that you had to click on a link to 'activate' your account?

[loriely 0]

Yes i looked in my e-mail and it said it was invalid til i clicked on link. I did that and it still said invalid user name and password. I get frustrated not knowing what i am doing wrong.

[argon 3]

Hmm... where you would enter your username and password, look for somewhere you can click 'forgot my password', it'll ask for your username and email address, and then either send you a new password, or remind you of what yours is. If that doesn't do it, let me know, and I'll contact the admin or moderator for you, ok?

[argon 3]

LOL, sorry... I'm an idiot. You can still try that, but I won't be able to help you if that doesn't work! I didn't realize I was posting in the TLBC message board post, and not the Cobourn one! Whoops!

Yoda: I have registered at TLBC message board and activated my account, but I'm unable to post messages or start threads?

Have you tried?

Yeah, I registered too but have been unable to log on. I thought maybe it was because I got the "activation" e-mail (they are suppposed to send you instructions on how to activate your account) but that it was deleted as spam/junk by mistake....either automatically or by our spam program. I e-mailed Kathy yesterday to ask about it....ie. to either have another activation e-mail sent or whatever. If it wasn't her, I asked her to fwd my e-mail to the appropriate person. I haven't heard back yet.

Carol and Loriely: if you are also having probs, e-mail Kathy...if they get enough "problem" e-mails maybe they will make the system better or easier to understand?

So, long answer to say that I haven't been able to "log in" either!!!

I'll let you know what, if anything I hear back.

Thanks Yoda: I have been trying to reach Kathy via email for 1-1/2 weeks now to make a fill appt for Oct 23. I hesitate to contact by phone because at either business I have no privacy and don't want to risk anyone overhearing the nature of my phone call.

Kathy has yet to answer me, If don't hear from her by noon today I will have to attempt a phone call....if I do call her I will ask about the message board.
