We encourage you to read our Community Standards
before joining our site. Please feel free to refer to them at a
later date from the link to "Community
Standards" at the top of every page
Do I have to register?...
All of those wishing to keep a journal must register. The process
is easy. It begins with an Email to us stating your interest.
Our Caregiver Jounalling Community Moderator will respond to your
email with directions on how to register as well as a welcome to
the community. Users who want to read the daily accounts of
the trials and tribulations as well as the successes and satisfaction
of other caregivers are welcome even if they choose not to
journal themselves. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to do it! Email us to
register for your own journal.
How can I use smilies?...
You've probably seen others use smilies before in email messages
or other bulletin board posts. Smilies are keyboard characters used
to convey an emotion, such as a smile  or a frown  . This bulletin board automatically
converts certain smilies to a graphical representation. For example,
if you type [:)] in your journal post, it will automatically be
converted to a smiling face.
Click here to see the smilies that are currently supported.
Can I add HTML to my messages?
You can only use HTML in your signature. But please be very careful that you use proper HTML syntax. If you do not, your
moderator or administrator may have to edit your post. Special
coding that can do some of the things that HMTL can is available to
use in your posts. Caregiver Journal Code is similar to
HTML, but offers just a few basic functions, such as
hyperlinking, bolding and italicizing. A complete list of
current Caregiver Journal Codes are:
| [b]
|
Makes all text following bold until you type
|
[/b]
|
| [i]
|
Makes all text following italicized until you type
|
[/i]
|
| [quote]
|
Makes all text following quote:
underlined and formatted
until you type
|
[/quote]
|
| [a]
|
Makes all text following a Link until you type
|
[/a]
|
How can I change my registration profile?...
You may easily change any
information stored in your registration profile, using the
profile
link located near the top of each page. Simply identify yourself by
typing your username and password and all of your profile
information will then be displayed. You may change any items, except
your username. All red starred fields are required.
Are cookies used?...
The Caregiver Journal
Site uses cookies to store the following information: the last time
you logged in and your username and password. These cookies are
stored on your browser. Cookies are not used to track your movement
or perform any function other than making you use of the Careegiver
Journal Site easier. If your browser does not support cookies, or
you have not enabled cookies on your browser, many of these
time-saving features will not work properly.
Can I edit my own Journal Entries?...
You may edit or delete
your own posts at any time. Just go to the Journal Entry in
question. The edit icon is on the line that begins "posted on..." Click on this
icon to edit or delete the post. No one else can edit your post, except for the Caregiver
Journal Site administrator. A note is generated at the bottom of each post that is edited
so that every one knows when a post has been edited.
Can I attach files?...
Files may not be attached to any Journal Entry. You may cut and paste text into
your post and use Caregiver Journal Code to provide hyperlinks
to outside documents.
Can I search?...
You may search
for specific posts based on a word or words found in the posts, user
name, and date. Just click on the search link at the top of most
pages.
Can I add a standard signature to my posts?...
You may use a signature (commonly used in email
messages) on your posts. If you click on the profile link at the top
of most Caregiver Jouranl pages, you will be able to edit your
profile, including your standard signature. Once you have a
signature stored, you can choose to include it any post you make by
checking the "Check here to include your profile
signature" option box when you create your
Journal Entry. You may also change your signature at any time by changing your
profile.
Note: You may use HTML in your signature file.
Are there any censor features?...
Caregiver Journal administrators have the power to
censor certain words that may be posted. This is not an exact science, and therefore
certain words may be censored out of context. Please realize that this process is being done by a computer based on the words
that are being screened. Words that are censored are replaced with asterisks.
What do I do if I lost my username and/or password?...
Retrieving your username and password is simple easy.
All of the pages that require you to identify yourself with your username and password carry a "lost password" link
that you can use to have your username and password emailed instantly to your
email address of record. Or click here.
