I'm Ben the digital manager here at Asthma UK. Above is a picture of our new website that we're launching next week. We've been working hard on it over the last six months and I'm really happy with how it looks and how it works.
The forum will be exactly the same as before (except for the new design at the top and bottom), this is because we're using the same platform as before. We've had to do a fresh install of the system though so if you have any problems on here please do let us know.
On the forum you'll have the same details as before but they're no longer linked to the login on the rest of the site. Sorry about this but the new platform for the main website doesn't have a forum funcationality and it was going to be too expensive to integrate the forum with the rest of the platform.
If you find any issues on the rest of the new website or have any feedback please let us know either on this thread or by email on digitalwork at asthma.org.uk.
I am looking forward to seeing the newly developed website.
Hi, how do we change passwords on the forum now? I couldn't login so did retrieve password and now my password is a load of random characters that i'll never remember. I've looked on profile etc but can't fins an option to change password
Hi jinglfairy,
The option to Change Password should now be accessible through your profile page. Sorry about the delay in getting this activated!
Thanks Hugh, yes it worked - i now have a memorable (to me) password!
I had to click on forgot password to get new password which allowed me to log in but when I tried to change my password via my profile it will not let me.
that's weird - did it reset all the passwords, cause i had to reset mine too.
i found the reset passwords thingy at the bottom of the list on the left of the profile page!
also, how do you make it so your email adress is never visible - they are coming up sometimes and i dont want mine to be visible please!
Hi soph,
Your email address should only be visible on your profile to yourself and administrators - if you find yourself able to see anyone else's email on a profile page or anywhere else, please email webeditor@asthma.org.uk, with a screengrab of the page if possible (it will help us fix the problem faster!)

i like how the new forum keeps you logged in forever! Even this morning i was logged in

Gosh, it's tiny! That's a style sheet setting, so I can't change it. For a temporary fix, Ctrl-+ will enlarge the page (keep pressing and it gets bigger), Ctrl-0 will return it to normal.
The default font does seem on the small size. As for any page, the font size can be changed. To increase, scroll down to the bottom of the page and have a look in accessibility in the middle of the purple section. It depends on your internet browser
* Microsoft Internet Explorer is under the view menu and text size
* Firefox - hold down down the ctrl and + or - to change the size
* Safari - View menu and zoom in/out or text only
Also, if on an Apple computer, ⌘ and + or - on the keyboard will do the same. Ctrl + or - will do the same on any keyboard too.
Jinglfairy, there is an option to be kept logged in so if you don't want it just untick, simples.
