Ideas for Forum Name etc???

[s162216]

Hi,

I created this forum and temporally gave it the the name 'Primary Immunodeficiency Forum' as that states its purpose but I think it needs a bit of a more 'catchy' name which says what it is and also easy to remember like PIA was. I chose 'primaryimmuno' as the URL because its easy to remember (and simpler to type than primary immunodeficiency!).

Anyway, does anyone have any ideas as to what we could call out new forum? Post them here!

Also would members like separate sections for discussing different things and perhaps an off-topic area like most forums have? Any ideas then post them here!

Thanks,

Samuel

We need something that helps new pids to find us so i will put my thinking cap on.

This might sound daft but if you would be interested in having an 'off topic' area (i.e talk about anything non immunology related) then how about calling it the 'Innate Area' because the innate part of the immune system in unspecific, like what will be hopefully talked about! Idea just suddenly popped into my head, feel free to ridicule!

Also has anyone got any ideas yet as to what we could call this forum thats catchy and easy to remember but states it purpose clearly?

Immune Systems Chat..a bit boring,but chat suggests something a little less formal,but the rest has to stay,or else the purpose will be lost. OK it's not the greatest..think on!

Another thought- The PinCushion its how i often feel

"General chat" simple and says it all :-) or moaners room for when we are ill and want to vent.
"'Primary Immunodeficiency Forum' I can't think of anything better so keep that I think.

i'd quite like the word "independent" in there somewhere, just to show we aren't seeing ourselves as needing any patronising!!

I quite like that, describes it down to a T, anyone got any objections or alternate ideas to me adding an area called that?

Hi Samuel, I'm finding getting around the forum a bit cumbersome. I'm not over computer literate so didn't find the "help" section too helpful. I keep going back to home to get from thread to thread. Is there an easier way to do it?

Hi Liz,

Just below where the header is (Support and Discussion for....), you'll see a few links in small text like this (for the thread we're in currently):

Primary Immunodeficiency Forum :: General :: General Board :: Ideas for Forum Name etc???

Click on 'General Board' and it'll take you back to the threads in the general board. Its not ideal I know and I'll try and make the forum a bit clearer but as this was a 'ready made' forum in essence I can only edit some parts of it to a limited degree.

Lord Sam, please don't think I was in anyway moaning about it, you've done such an amazing job. Thanks for the tips, I'll get to know it I'm sure.
Liz.

I think the name is fine it does what it says on the tin i think a more catchy name might not be clear enough for people searching out sites like this the name is clear and concise. diane
