How to navigate the HealthMeans community

1. Log into your HealthMeans account: https://membership.healthmeans.com/login

   

   
   

2. Click the Community link in the left navigation bar. A new window will open, and you will be redirected here: https://membership.healthmeans.com/community

   

   
   

3. You will see various themed categories in the left column and the latest posts in the right column.

   

   
   

4. You'll see a silhouette icon in the upper right corner of the page. This icon represents your community profile. Click the icon.

   

   
   

5. In the Preferences section, you can change the username that is displayed. The software automatically fills this in with the username of your email address shown before the @ symbol. You can change it to whatever you’d like.

   

   
   

6. Feel free to change your Profile Photo in this section, too. You can upload a photo of yourself from your device or use an image representing your persona. Be creative!

   

   
   

7. Next, introduce yourself so community members can get to know you better. You might include your first name, where you are from, what you do, why you joined HealthMeans and your interests and hobbies. Include as much information as you are comfortable providing. You never know when you’ll meet someone with like interests and perhaps make a new friend! https://community.healthmeans.com/t/introduce-yourself-here/63/67

   

   
   

8. Browse the current posts. You’ll find them in the right column of the community homepage under the Latest section. If you can help with a question, please reply using the Reply link at the bottom of the post.

   

9. You can also use emojis to express your feelings about any post. You'll see a selection of emojis when you click on the heart emoji at the bottom of each post. Click the one you want to use. The more interaction and participation in the community, the more we learn.

   

   
   

10. Emojis are also available to use within your comments. The emoji icon in this area is the smiley face.

    

    
    

11. When you reply to a post, you also have the option to format your text such as bold, italic, quote, etc. You’ll find the formatting option just above the area where you type your text. You don’t have to format anything, though! The community software will post whatever you write.

    

    
    

12. At any time, you can go back to the community homepage by clicking the HealthMeans logo in the upper/left corner of the page. https://community.healthmeans.com/
