Discussion boards

Share your experiences, questions, ideas, support and stories through our discussion boards.

Anyone can read the discussions, but to reply or start a new topic you need to register with RNIB's website. You only need to register once. When you've successfully registered, make sure you're logged in when you want to reply to a post or start a new topic in one of the boards. Use the 'login' link on each page to login, then use the 'reply' link to reply to an existing topic or the 'New topic' link to start a new topic.

When you first start replying to posts and adding your own topics, your contributions will be moderated. This means that they will not go-live for everyone to see immediately. While your post is awaiting moderation, you'll see the words 'Not approved' next to it. Don't worry - this doesn't mean you've done something wrong. It just means your post has not yet been approved for publication by a moderator.

Using our discussion boards explains more about moderation, registration and how the forum works.
