A thank you to all who have been posting responses and ideas in the forum this month! As I catch back up with the blog and forum (I've been on vacation, feeling guilty about not attending to all of you...but immersed enough in what I was doing that I didn't really have time to respond to the forum questions thoughtfully). I've been impressed with the tone, as well as the content. of what people have written. (One person even posted EXACTLY what I would have posted as a response on memory - an article from a Hallowell newsletter. Wow!)
Anyway, I am coming back...I will catch back up this week, then post sporadically for August into early September, and then be back in full force. In the meantime, I encourage you all to continue writing your thoughts and ideas.
Thanks for your patience!

Funny that you mention this, as I was just thinking about it the other day! Right now, there are two ways to read. You can go to a person's blog (mostly mine, but there are other authors, too) and read all of the blog topics they have written about. In my case this would include lots of essays about different aspects of ADHD and marriage.
Or, you can go into the forums and follow any given thread. This is "messier" as people can respond at any time to any part of a a thread. So I find myself sometimes looking at the date of a post within a longer thread to see who posted what, first.
I considered putting things in chronological order in the forum, and may still do so - have to talk to the techie web administrator (my husband) about this. But then that has other side effects (like you can't respond as easily to someone's thoughts that are in the middle of a thread).
Hope this helps you sort it out.

P.S. So glad you found my last comment helpful! Hang in there - you are definitely going in the right direction, and so is your hubby! The road is never as smooth as you imagine (or hope?!) it will be, but the potential positive results are wonderful....

Clarity around the comment to which one replies
Submitted by admin on
Anonymous above suggested "One way that I’ve seen the situation remedied in other forums is to add a header to the top of each ’Reply to’ post alerting the reader to which thread it’s addressing. I’m sure that there are other ideas out there too.".
When "replying", the post or comment to which you are replying appears at the top of the page where where you ener your comments. This functionality has been in place since this site was first built.

Editing your own comments
Submitted by admin on
You may edit your own comments (but not others'). However, you would have had to post the comment as a registered user in order to be able to edit your comment, else we wouldn't know who "you" were, and which were "your" comments. If you wish to edit or delete a comment that you submitted annonymously, please post a another comment (it goes into the moderation queue we use to keep out comment spam) identifying the comment by its node url (e.g., http://www.adhdmarriage.com/content/wheres-melissa#comment-2003) and describe the changes you wish to have made.
