Frequently Asked Questions
What's the point of the forum?
The point of the forum is to provide a place for discussion that gives users the ability to manage their email preferences - meaning you can choose which discussions you want to be a part of, and which you want to receive updates about. This means your email inbox won't be filled up with forum emails, unless you subscribe to every topic.
How do I use the forum?
Any current members of NAME can access the forum. Because it is a Google Forum, you will need to sign in using a Google Account. If you are using the forum for the first time, you will also be prompted to "Apply for Membership". This simply involves us checking that you are a current member of NAME before approving your application. Please provide your school email address and school name when you request to join - this will help us to check your membership as quickly as possible.
How does the forum work?
You can contribute to the forum either here on our website (www.name.org.nz/forum) or on the Google Groups website. When you join the forum, you choose what email updates you'd like to receive, and you can manage your preferences at any point by clicking on "Membership and Email Settings".
How do I contribute?
Once you've signed in using your google account, and your membership has been approved, you're ready to get started.
The forum is divided into different categories, which helps to keep discussions organised and on topic. To start a discussion, simply click "New Topic", choose a category and you're good to go. Prior to posting your topic, you can use the "email updates to me" checkbox to choose whether or not to receive emails when someone replies to your topic. If you leave this box unchecked, you'll need to keep returning to the forum page in order to see if anyone has replied.
