Q. How can I participate in a discussion?
A. Both the 'Case Studies' and 'Editorials' sections of EVF allow registered members to engage in discussions. After one month, Cases and Editorials are archived and any discussion becomes read-only.
Current discussions are listed under the 'Discussion' heading on the right-hand side of the page. To read a discussion, click on the link heading, which will open a new window that displays the thread of that discussion. To comment or reply, click on the thumbtack icon  . Your comment will be forwarded to the moderator for review and will then appear in the discussion thread.
To begin a new topic of discussion, click on the 'Start a Discussion' link on the top left of each page. Once you click 'Submit,' your comment will be forwarded to the moderator for review and will then appear in the discussion thread. Your posting will be included with others relating to the same case or editorial.
You must be a registered member of EVF in order to participate in a discussion.

Q. Are the discussions moderated?
A. All discussions of Cases and Editorials are moderated. If the EVF moderator deems any posting offensive or unrelated to the discussion, the posting will not appear in the discussion and a message will be sent to the member who submitted the post. You must be a registered member of EVF in order to submit a posting.
|
Q. Can I edit my own discussion group posting?
A. No. Once a discussion group posting has been submitted, you are not able to modify it in any way. EVF urges its members to review their comments before submission.
|
Q. Will I be notified by email if someone responds to my topic?
A. You will not be notified automatically if someone responds to your discussion posting. If you would like to follow all discussions relating to a specific Case or Editorial, however, you may subscribe to the Case or Editorial.
If you wish to subscribe, click on the 'Subscribe to Case' or 'Subscribe to Editorial' link at the top of each Case or Editorial. You will receive a confirmation of your subscription and will then receive an email each time the moderator approves a new posting.
After one month, all Cases and Editorials are archived and become read-only. Once each Case or Editorial is archived, you will no longer receive discussion-related emails.
