How to use this site

Our website is powered by Ning and was chosen for its many features such as groups and a discussion forum. Ning runs a little differently to platforms like Facebook, however, so here are some tips:

The bold headings are often not clickable, so click on the smaller, pale headings like "All Articles".  Run the cursor over headings to see if they are responsive. 

When using the Discussion Forum, click Reply above other people's comments in order to make your comment. To start a new topic or thread, click the blue + on the top right.  We want you to use the Discussion Forum!
