Bio
I am taking a break from live chats, so I may not be the listener for you right now! But we have many who are available, so I hope one of them could be of more assistance :)


Hey there :) It's nice to meet you, you can call me Taran!


A bit about me:

🌒 I try my best to be as non-judgemental as possible, as I believe all people are deserving of support equally. You have value and worth unconditionally.

🌓 I have a BA in psychology and a post-graduate certificate in Addictions and Mental Health - I am not a professional, but I am passionate about listening to and supporting people through whatever they may be facing.

🌔 I'm comfortable discussing any topic. I may have less knowledge in some areas than others, but will always be willing to lend an open ear :) I am not easily offended or shocked, and chats are always focused on the member, not my personal feelings or opinions.

App: Issue with Forum Replies

...See more I've been noticing it quite a lot recently, where people are replying to me in the forums but it does not include my username tag, therefore I do not get a notification that someone has replied to me. I would only ever have known if I just happened to check, or if I subscribed to the thread as a whole. Because this was happening so frequently, I downloaded the app to see if that was the issue, and it is. When someone directly replies in the forums using the app, it does not automatically put the person's username tag in the reply, like it does on the desktop site. I think this is a big issue for the forums, because many messages may be missed if the person doesn't know they ever got a reply. I'm also suspicious that sometimes you direct reply to someone but it does not connect it as a reply, but instead just acts as a regular post on the thread (as in shows at the bottom, not right below and connected to the post being replied to). Unconfirmed, but it seems that way sometimes. Please put this function into the app, I'll submit a support ticket as well but also thought it would be good to bring up in the forums in case others have noticed the issue, or not noticed and missed some replies.
