ALZConnected Q&A Thread

Thank you for asking. Clinical trial information is available on our Trial Match site, so please keep an eye on that site to see the latest developments and trials.

Thank you for your feedback. You are welcome to start a thread to discuss research in either of the Living with Alzheimer's or Dementia categories or I am a Caregiver (General Topics).

You can add a link to a post by highlighting the text, clicking the icon that looks like a chain, pasting the URL of the desired link, then pressing enter/return. Links will then look like this.

Thank you for your feedback. We are looking into the option of darkening the font to maintain accessibility needs.

Thank you for your feedback. This is a feature of the platform to let other users know if a post was changed in any way. There are times where users may make more elaborate edits to their posts, so marking these posts as edited will let others know that it may not have been the same post they read earlier.

We would like to apologize to anyone that was unable to post their question or answer here since the thread was moved to the Account Assistance board. We resolved the situation and now anyone can post their questions and answers to this thread again.

Also, please note that members can now delete their own comments by clicking the three buttons in the corner of your post and clicking "Delete." To maintain the integrity of information posted on ALZConnected, members cannot delete their own threads. Thanks to everyone for your patience.

Thank you for reaching out about clarification on the Ignore feature. Only an ignored user's comments are hidden, but you will still see discussion threads they post. This is intentional so there's no risk of missing valuable content from non-ignored users who post to the discussion.

If you feel that someone's posts are not adhering to our Community Guidelines, please report them using the Flag button. You can find out more information about how to report posts in this thread on the Take a Community Tour board.

Thank you for pointing this out on the Take a Community Tour discussion. We have updated the wording in the instructions on how to send another user a message to clarify that discussion posts remain but comments will be hidden. You are correct in that you will still see the initial discussion post, but you will not see any of their comments on any posts they create or that another user has created.

To answer your second question, direct messages sent to other users cannot be deleted. You can, however, opt to leave a conversation by selecting the Leave Conversation button on the right of the screen while viewing the message.

While this will not "unsend" the message to the recipient, it will no longer be in your messages and the recipient cannot reply to you through it unless they re-added you to the conversation. I hope this information helps clarify.

We're sorry to hear that you're having issues navigating the new site. It is possible to edit your discussion posts and edit/delete your comments by clicking the three dots in the right-hand corner of the post. This will take you to an option to edit (if it's a discussion page) or edit/delete (if it's a comment).

While we do not have a training program per-se, we have a several training videos available on our Take a Community Tour, including on how to make comments. Here are links to each tour with a video included:

• Create a new discussion
• Post a reply
• Create or join a group
• How to edit your profile

There are currently no plans to make changes to the ALZConnected testing process outlined in the email you received; however, your feedback was forwarded along to the appropriate department. Thank you for your concern.
