What to do on 20 March 2010

Login to the new forum: click on the forgot your password link on Saturday, 20 March 2010. An activation email will be sent to the email address you gave us at the old forum.  Please click on the link in the activation email and change your password as soon as you login.

Member profile information:  your account name, display name, email address, avatar and date of birth will be copied to the new forum.  However, you will need to update your custom title and signature yourself.  Please note that UBBC coding is not possible in the custom title but it is possible in the signature area.

Medical students:  will be automatically assigned to a green medical student group.  The year of entry into medical school is included in the group name.  However, your medical school name is not included.  Please update your profile to enter the name of your medical school.  You can enter this either in your "custom title" or put a signature bar in your profile.  More information about medical student signature bars here .

Doctors: will be automatically assigned to an aqua doctor member group.

Any posts made since the Friday night download will not be seen on the new forum.  You'll have to copy them to the new forum yourself.
