Enhancing Your WLSJourney.org Experience.
Now that you are an official Registered Member of The Journey Community Forums, what can you do to enhance your WLSJourney.org experience? Several things! Actually, as a Community which specializes in peer-to-peer WLS Support, we do tend to share more personal information than Members of other online interactive sites might share. Of course sharing your information is not required. However, through the sharing, The Journey experience may be more personalized as responses might be tailor-posted for your particular situation.
At anyrate - You are welcome to share as much or as little information as you are comfortable with. Each Member has complete control over what personal information is shared throughout the site. Below is a shortlist of common board preferences/features of interest to new Members.
In the left column of this post you will see the postbit information section which will appear on most all forum posts. The info you allow will also appear on your WLSJourney.org Profile page.
