We've had to make several changes to our message boards. We have become the target for various spammers recently and as a result I have been deleting several messages a day for the last few weeks. This has neccesitated the following changes to our boards:

1. Newly registered members must submit a valid email address. In turn they will receive an email which they then must confirm before they can post on the bords.

2. Guests will no longer be able to post messages or respond to mssages.

I also need several volunteers to help moderate the boards. If they see any spam posts, they will have the power to delete them.

Also, when choosing Usernames and/or passwords, keep them simple and easy to remember. Some suggestions are: husbands name, childs name, last 4 digits of your phone number.

I am sorry to have to make these changes but I have no alternative. The HER2 Support Group will be placing an ad in the next issue of Cure Magazine and we will be hosting many new members.

Regards
Joe
