Is Sacral Musings invite only?

Nope, it's open to anyone interested in osteopathy. Membership moderation is in place to protect the integrity of the community against spammers.

Comments

What's the comment wall for?

The comment wall is like writing a message on someone's personal blackboard. Everyone on Sacral Musings has one of their own and each members comment wall is visible to everyone else. Don't be shy now.

How do I directly reply to a comment on my comment wall?

To directly reply to the other persons comment wall just click the Reply to Comment link. This will take to the comment wall on the other members profile allowing you to write a message there. To send someone a private message you need to be friends with them.

Friends

How do I accept friend requests?

On the right of the screen, click on My Friends. Your current list of friends as well as friends request you have received and sent is listed. Then just hit Accept or Reject and you're all done.

Do I have to accept friend requests?

Nope. Some people want to be friends with everyone, some just want a select group they know well. How you approach this is totally up to you.

How do I remove a member from my friends list?

On the right of the screen, click on My Friends. Click on X icon beside the persons name to remove them as a friend. You can also block all messages from them by clicking on their profile picture or going to their page, then clicking on 'Block Messages'.

What happens when I reject a friend request?

It disappears from the Sent section in the member's friends dropdown. They don't receive an email notification of this.

What is this whole friendship thing anyway?

Friends on Sacral Musings and other social networks work differently to friends in real life. A friend on here can be thought of as a bookmark for someone you find interesting or happen to know. It is possible to restrict photos, videos and blog posts to be viewable by Friends Only, so you may want to consider this when requesting or accepting friend requests.

Why do I have to be friends with someone to send them a private message?

This is to enable you to control who can send you private messages. If you are not friends with someone, you cannot send them a private message (unless you are a site administrator!). Without this pesky spammers could spam you much more easily. Other members can still publicly communicate with you through your comment wall. If you want to send them a private message, just friends request them.

Email

How do I stop receiving all those pesky emails?

Click on My Settings (top right of screen), then the Privacy tab. Uncheck appropriate settings at bottom of page.

Why can't I send a message to a particular member?

A member needs to be your friend if you want to be able to send them a private message. You can either request them to be your friend, or leave a public message on their comment wall.
