Biography Page Indicators
The purpose of these biographies is so individuals can share information about themselves with friends from the Discussion Page and with others. Knowing that someone else out there has many of the same problems and concerns as you can be a great comfort when dealing with a disease like Fabry. If you have any questions or comments regarding the Biography view or form please contact FSIG at info@fabry.org.
To create your own Biography click on Create in the navigator along the left side of the screen, complete form and click the submit button at the bottom of the form.
The 'Previous' and 'Next' displayed above can be seen at the top and bottom of the Discussion Page or an Archive. These views may contain more documents then are displayed on your screen. To view any additional documents press 'Next' to see the next page and 'Previous' to get back.
This symbol will appear beside a Biography if it contains a picture.
A star indicates that document is new or less than 24 hours old.
The number two indicates that document is at least one day old or between 24 and 48 hours old.
The number three indicates that document is on its third day or between 48 and 72 hours since its creation.
The number four indicates that document is on its fourth day.
The number five indicates that document was created five day ago.
These indicators are meant to be used as reference aids making it easier to locate new entries which you may not have read yet. Documents six days old or older will not display age indicators.
Text Formatting (HTML)
You can make text BOLD and Italic in your Discussion Page document and Biographies if you are willing to use some simple HTML code. It would be nice if your browser would do this for you but most do not so here is how it is done. To make the word "happy" appear bold you must enter "[<b>happy</b>]". When you submit the document and view it from your browser it will appear in bold, happy. You can do the same thing to create italic by entering "[<i>happy</i>]".
If you enter your e-mail address (just one) in the "Email Address" field it will automatically be made into a hotlink. If you want more than one e-mail address contact FSIG and I will enter it correctly for you. If you want to make your name or e-mail address a hotlink in other places you can do that too. This means someone could click on your name and automatically send you an e-mail. This one is more complicated but still very doable. If your name is "John Doe" and your e-mail address is "johndoe@aol.com" you would enter "[<a href="mailto:johndoe@aol.com">John Doe</a>]". Be sure to enter a double quote after the equal sign and after aol.com.
