The new forum is fast, friendly and fun !

I’m sure that once everyone who uses rosacea-support sees how much fun the new forum is and how easy it is, many will want to move over and start using the forum.

Forum posts appear immediately so you can join in a conversation quickly and easily. Whilst the email group at Yahoo!Groups does have a web interface, it doesn’t group topics together well. The Rosacea Support Forum does a much better job of keeping a conversation together in one spot.

So if you would like to try this new forum, here is how you join.  Once you get there you will see many of the familiar friendly faces from the rosacea support email group.

There is a lot of detail here with lots of steps, but it is straight forward and very quick. Click on each small image to see a bigger one.

4. Now you are ready to login. Click the login link.

5. To login, use the username and password from above. Click Login.
