Guide to using the LIFE discussion forums

Begin contributing to the LIFE discussion forums by registering as a member of the LIFE Professional Development Network PDN). Once your registration has been made active by LIFE Communications, log in using your email address and password.

The discussion forum consists of three tiers: ‘forums’, ‘threads’ and ‘posts.’ As a PDN member you are only permitted to write and submit posts, which will appear on the forums instantly.

In order to contribute a post, first select the forum you wish to visit, such as General, Living Is For Everyone, Research and Evidence, Events, Projects, Partnerships and Interest Areas. In the selected forum you will see a list of threads relevant to that forum. Choose the thread you wish to read or contribute to and you will see a list of posts submitted under that topic. Follow the ‘add post’ link to write your own.

Consider your post carefully for its spelling, formatting and content, because you will not be able to edit it once your post has been submitted.

If you have a particular post in mind but cannot find an appropriate thread to place it, we encourage you to email us your suggested discussion forum thread. A LIFE team member will respond to your request via email.

To browse more forums, threads and posts, return to ‘Forum Home’ by following the link at the top of the page or using the back button of your browser.

The LIFE discussion forums are accessible only by PDN members and cannot be viewed by the general public. If you have concerns about content you encounter on the forums please contact LIFE. Please be mindful of using appropriate language and adhering to forum etiquette as agreed to when registering for membership in the Terms of Access and Use.
