      <description><![CDATA[<font size="2">Hello!<br>

<br>

Awhile back we told you about our plans to launch a new and improved discussion forum section. We are happy to report that the new discussion area is almost here! The switch to the new discussion forum will take place on Monday August 8th. Please note that the forums will be temporarily unavailable on August 8th while we transfer content from the old system to the new system during that down time. You will be able to read all previous posts in the forum area during the short down period, but will not be able to post any new topics. We hope to make the transition as smooth as possible and appreciate your patience during the upgrade. We look forward to hearing your feedback about the new system when it’s up and running. Please feel free to call the Patient Services Line at <b>800.934.2873</b> or email us at info@braintumor.org with any questions. <br>

<br>

Thanks everyone!<br>

      <title>Forum Upgrade Scheduled for August 8, 2011</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<font size="2">Dear Community,<br>

<br>

We have scheduled an upgrade to our current forums for Monday, August 8th, 2011. On this date all topics and replies posted in the forums will be moved to a new upgraded format. When you navigate to the My.BrainTumorCommunity forum page you will land on a different looking page than you are used to starting Monday, August 8th. We believe the new format will be easier to use and we will have a number of features available to you that are not available in this current version. To help you learn the new format we will set up a question and answer discussion in the new format titled, "Welcome to Discussions: Q & A." It will be located at the top of the page. Feel free to post any questions you have or review FAQs others are asking.<br>

<br>

Additionally, you can also feel free to contact our Patient Services team at 800.934.2873 or at info@braintumor.org. Please note that your post history will be maintained with this upgrade. Your post count will not change and all your old topics and replies will be accessible in the new format.<br>

<br>

We thank you for being a member of our interactive online community!<br>

<br>

<br>

Sincerely,<br>

<br>
