What is the difference between a blog and a discussion?
Simply put, blog posts are unidirectional while discussions are more interactive. The blog is used to post news stories related to public health. On the main page, you can view the most recent blog posts in the "news feed" section.
The discussion board is a great way to interact with other members, discuss news, share experiences, and voice your opinions. Getting started on the discussion forum is easy. You can reply to an existing discussion or start your own. You can also choose to follow a discussion, which means you'll be notified by email when there are new replies to that discussion.
How do I change my E-mail settings?
Your profile comes with many types of notifications that allow you to receive emails about new activity on the MAPP Network.
To change your Email settings:
1. Click on the "Settings" link in the right column of any page.
2. Next, click "Email" on the left.
3. The next page displays all of the different types of notifications you'll receive. Check or uncheck the boxes to set your notifications, then click "save" at the bottom of the page.
4. If you don't want to receive any email notifications, you can check the box next to "I don't want to receive emails from MAPP Network" at the bottom of the page.
