COMING SOON! ON-LINE FORUM!
William Collier Design is very happy & proud to offer a NEW on-line Forum for women, men and children living with hair loss. The intention of this site is to offer support and solutions for people experiencing hair loss of any kind; including hair-loss due to medical reasons (Chemotherapy) thinning hair, baldness, Alopecia or Trichotillomania.
Our goal is to connect people together to offer a supportive community that understands the unique issues surrounding living with hair-loss on a day-to-day basis.
We encourage your thoughts and questions weather you are new to the experience of living with hair-loss or are a person who has lived with it for years. We wish to provide an environment that offers education and support to all who choose to participate.
For those who are new to the idea of using an “On-Line Forum” I have included an abbreviated version of the Wikipedia definition for your review.
Weather you choose to be a “poster” or a“lurker” we are excited to offer this new service to you as a small way to enhance your day-to-day life.

Internet forum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site.[1] It is the modern equivalent of a traditional bulletin board, and a technological evolution of the dialup bulletin board system.[2][3] From a technological standpoint, forums[note 1] or boards are web applications managing user-generated content.[4][5]
People participating in an Internet forum can build bonds with each other and interest groups will easily form around a topic's discussion, subjects dealt with in or around sections in the forum.
Forum structure
A forum consists of a tree like directory structure containing at the lowest end topics (commonly called threads) and inside them posts. Logically forums are organized into a finite set of generic topics (usually with one main topic) driven and updated by a group known as members, and governed by a group known as moderators.
An unregistered user of the site is commonly known as a guest or visitor. Guests are granted access to all functions that do not require database alterations or breach privacy. A guest can view the contents of the forum or use such features as read marking. A person who is a very frequent visitor of the forum, a section or even a thread is referred to as a lurker and the habit is referred to as lurking. Registered members often will refer to themselves as lurking in a particular location, which is to say they have no intention of participating in that section but enjoy reading the contributions to it.
Posters
The posters to the forum are considered the driving force behind the community. On some forums, a poster may edit or delete his or her own posts, although sometimes these rights are reserved.
Post
A post is a user submitted message enclosed into a block containing the user's details and the date and time it was submitted. Members are usually allowed to edit or delete their own posts. Posts are contained in threads, where they appear as boxes one after another. The first post starts the thread; this may be called the original post, or OP. Posts that follow in the thread are meant to continue discussion about that post, or respond to other replies; it is not unknown for discussions to be derailed.
