Forum, Friends and Messages
We encourage participation in the Forum. Modeshift Forum is an internal place designated to share ideas, find help, discuss topics and make comment.
The forum is fenced off for the public – non members can’t participate in discussions, only members can see the form. Open topics are ‘open’ to logged in members not to the public.
Forum is organised in Topics. Members can start new topic or add comments to an existing topic. A new topic can be sharing a good practice or asking question or posting job announcement. Topics with most recent comments will stay on the top.
You can use search to scan through all topics and comments.
Modeshift Members Forum
We encourage you to get actively involved with discussions where you can add value to other members.
When it is useful to continue discussions on a 1:1 basis, the option to request friends or message other members can be seen below their profile picture. We do not make the list of members published to protect individual members privacy. However, we encourage members to ‘make friends’.
If you make a friend request, it has to be approved for a connection to be made.
On request, website administrators admin@moreshift.org.uk can create new, closed groups for Members from different Organisations who are willing to cooperate.
