The email was descriptive but it is not typical of what the “live” user would get as we are also communicating the objective and role of the “alpha trial”.
I was able to log in and the profile changes were easy to effect and I customized my profile which is fun 
I did;t then really know what to do as kind of a mall and figuring out where to go – we may want to ask people to actively poist comments in the stated forums and reply, …
In the sub-forums, we may want to build out graphics in gray header bar as we build out, examples.
Also, how canI “attach” documents? easy process to add url ink 
Would we want to tailor Community Guidelines within the PRO side to address issues of exchanging medial info per the strong we had on his topic on email?
Also, would be good to “seed” topics and comments as you discussed – as we get more folks in here.
How can I invite someone to follow me – or message someone? No one showing up.
If I am in the Provider’s Directory, might we want the key resources “pinned” for reference and then folks can comment?

Allison did a great job of getting some basic designs up, but not for every forum space, especially sub-forums. Definitely an item on our list.

Good catch! I went over the settings again and those were not configured correctly in this environment. They are now, so you should see the icons for images and documents when you create a thread, make a reply, etc.

Sounds like this is something we’ll be regularly fine-tuning.

When you click on a Profile, you’ll get options to connect or send. This is more obvious in the Groups system. Go into any Group and you can look at Members and start connecting and messaging.

This is a big one. I even considered turning off that forum for now until we are ready. We don’t have content seeded, and we aren’t entirely sure we want to do what was in the demo and fill it with every provider/pharmacy entry. But we do have a lot of good instruction/content we can add to a sticky for that forum to help guide people. We’ll have to keep thinking on what we want that space to be. We can make it like in the demo. That is part of our dev items. We just have to build it ourselves with the new architecture.

Yes, we are in the process of doing that now, but welcome our great content team to chip in as well. Eventually we will have it auto-wired and maybe even back-filled with all of our website content for review and comments.
But we also want to have fresh, non-site content seeded. I’m working through thread ideas on that. Could be as simple as sharing big news items we regularly run across and share internally.
What if I want to troll you? I am a trooooollllllll.
When entering a forum that you are not authorized for, the message is small and at the top. Also, can we hide the forums that the user cant access? Like hidecMedical Mavericks from Health Enthusiasts?
Eric thanks for all the answers to questions posted I think the sub forums in general should be in Medical Mavericks – the Protocols for each for sure – to elicit feedback in the Pro Community and then an area for new research/reviews.
The paid member forums should have highest value and content seeded for launch.
