Re: For those using topical TRT {Everyone}

Perhaps some brave soul with time on his hands could create a FAQ?

Then the rest of us could have a chance to propose edits to it before

we finalize it.

tallen2_34,

It's unfortunate that " Poll " function is inoperative, in contrast to several

other to which I belong i.e.

gay_and_bisexual_ED/?yguid=4213886

Alt-Support-Impotence-ASI/

This type question lends itself to accumulating data via poll.

I would suggest that we create a folder in files section here. Individuals

that are on AndroGel and wishing to participate could just create a document

describing when last AG application was and when they were bled, day/time

for hormone assay(s) and assay results.

Then volunteers to work on it could review the files and interpret the

data....I may be making it too complex...

Dunno...

OR eon

Yes, I have asked about the polling function a few times, but have

never received a response from the group moderators.

Nickso,

IMO " a poll function " would really be appropriate for this group.

Would be nice if moderators would keep " riding herd " (Texas lingo) until an

answer, as to why we do not have " poll function " is received from .

Is our group that different/unusual from other that have " poll

function " ?

OR eon

Any moderator....

Any update on the " no Polls " issue?

I and others believe it would be a nice to have.

Nickso,

If poll function was activated...we could sure gather a lot of data quickly.

Sorry everyone - I've been off the board for a couple of days..

The answer is that when you set up a new group you're asked to

make certain choices about how the group operates. You only get to

make these choices once. Here's what it says in the Management

console:

Email Address Display : Your group allows members to hide their

email address from the group.

Your group cannot use the Polls feature.

Members who hide their email address may not post messages via email.

This setting cannot be changed.

The creator of the group (who has long since vanished, by the way),

chose to allow members to hide their e-mails and thus, the Polls

feature is unavailable. I'm not sure why is so inflexible in

group structure, but there is nothing we can do to change it.

We could find another way to take polls. Oreon had a good idea. We

could also create a database for the answers and let members post

there. Everyone put on your thinking caps and we'll figure out a

way...

K4
