To receive posts by email
You can receive posts by either individual email or digest but you are not able to reply by using the 'Reply' button in your email software. Instead, there is a link in the email (one for individual emails, one for each post in the digest) which will take you to the board where you post a reply. It takes you directly to the reply text box so you do not have to look at the rest of the board if you do not want to. You can simply type your message and click 'Send' to post your reply.
To receive notifications of new posts you have to have the appropriate forum ticked as a watched forum.
To set up your account to receive posts by individual email or daily digest, do the following:
- Click on the 'My Account' button at the top of the page
- Click on the 'Watched Forums' tab
- Check either 'Posts as they come in' or 'Daily Digests'
- Check the forums from which you would like to get emails or digests
To stop receiving posts, unselect all forums
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click 'Save'
You will then begin receiving either individual emails or daily digests, depending on which option you chose. When you open these emails, you will see the messages that were posted as well as a link. Click on this link which will take you to the text box in which you can type your reply. When you are finished, click the 'Send' button below the text box.
If you are not receiving your daily digests
-Check your bulk mail folder
-The digest emails may be too large for your ISP to handle correctly, i.e you may need to change your ISP
or: request 'posts as they come in' from the watched forums as they may be small enough to be received.
Notifications of reply re topics you have replied to
- Click on the 'My Account' button at the top of the page
The topics in your account are those from which you will receive notifications when there has been a reply posted there.
- Click the preferences tab:
- check or uncheck this option: Always notify by e-mail when replies posted to topics you participated in.
- click 'save'.
- If you have replied to a topic that you do not wish to be notified of replies: chick 'unwatch topic' in the lower left hand corner of the page.

How to use the search feature
Locate the green search button at the top of each page.
Type up to 6 words in the space provided.
Click on "search in this forum only" just below the search box.
Click 'search' or hit your 'Enter' key.
A list of forums/threads with this word/s will appear. Click on the thread listed.
The word/s will be highlighted on the page. Scroll down to find them.
To quickly find the word/s on a long page, press the 'Ctrl' key and the 'F' key at the same time. A dropdown 'find' window will appear with a space to type in the word/s you are looking for. Click 'next' or hit the 'Enter' key to find each instance of the word/s on that page only. (Or go to the toolbar. Click 'edit', then click 'find on this page')
For more precise searching, use an Internet search engine instead of the site search feature.

How to use the Google search engine
When the search terms are very common, you cannot 'AND' terms together or look for them 'Next To' each other. To get around that, try a Google search.
For example, to pair down a search for iron:
+iron +how-much site:CureMyTh1.org
Note the site: command will limit your search to just this site and the little '-' between words means that they should be in close proximity to each other. '+' keys mean the terms must be somewhere in the citation -- and you can use something like +"how much" -environment (skip the 'iron' in environment!) to get even more accurate positioning. Google cannot search for punctuation and things like that -- it just ignores them -- seems to ignore capital lettering too.
This specific kind of Google search brings up more findings than a local search on the MP site.
For example, if someone wants to find more results for others dx'd with CFS, they should type into the Google search bar:
cfs site:CureMyTh1.org
For RA:
ra site:CureMyTh1.org
The same goes for all other terms, dx's, etc. You should also remember to use variations of the subjects, as sometimes a few terms are used for the same thing.
Examples:
CFS & CFIDS
RA & Arthritis, etc.
A Google citation may have the original signature line (at time of posting/google scan) that contains a certain symptom that might have been taken out of a later one (perhaps to gain space for other things) -- so Google can find addition entries that a forum search won't pick up.
You can donate to AutoImmuninity Foundation by clicking Make GoodSearch Your Homepage and using this Internet search engine.
