"Newbies" are members who've posted less than 6 times. Once they post a 6th post, they become a full "Member".

 

There are certain areas where Members can do/have more than Newbies. For how to do some of the below, see the other topics in this section.

 

Display Names:

  • Members can change their display name 3 times a year.
  • Newbies can’t.

 

Editing Posts:

  • Members can edit their posts within an hour.
  • Newbies can’t edit.

 

Generate a Colourful Letter Avatar:

  • Newbies can’t.

 

Member Titles:

  • Members can change their Member Titles after 10 posts.
  • Newbies can't.

 

PMs:

  • Members can store up to 200 PMs and send an unlimited amount a day.
  • Newbies can store up to 10 PMs and send only 1 a day.

 

Polls:

  • Newbies can’t create polls.

 

Profile Privacy:

  • Members can set who can see their profiles.
  • Newbies can’t.

 

Signatures:

  • Members can add signatures including one image and one link.
  • Newbies can't add signatures.

 

Status Updates:

  • Members can post status updates.
  • Newbies can’t.

 

Uploads (Attachments):

  • Members can store up to 20 MB of attachments before needing to delete old ones. Maximum storage for each submission: 500kb - Eg, if this is set to 500 kb, you can upload a single 500 kb attachment, or five 100 kb attachments, to each post you make, provided you don't exceed your allowed total maximum attachment storage.
  • Newbies can't upload attachments.

Note - very old attachments in topics that aren't really read anymore or which are unnecessary may be deleted by Admin after a certain amount of time in order to free up webspace.

 

These benefits may be updated from time to time.

About Us

Founded in 2004, MS People UK is a community website and discussion forum by and for people with Multiple Sclerosis as well as for friends, families, supporters and those interested in this disabling condition.

If you’re newly diagnosed or want to ask about possible first symptoms, or if you’ve had Relapse Remit, Secondary or Primary Progressive MS for some time, a welcoming group of fellow MS sufferers is here to chat with you about MS symptoms, diagnosis and treatments.

The atmosphere is friendly whilst being compassionate, supportive and caring. Members also post about a variety of subjects not related to MS, as well as share jokes, talk about their hobbies, have fun, and more.
