MDJunction to me

" In life we all have trials and tribulations to endure weather it be physical, mental or social. For me personally when i encountered MDJunction i was astounded. Since i joined MDJunction to me it has been a god send and a life saver. I have met and been able to converse freely with so many people in the same situation as myself, (that alone is a big help, to know your not alone) to be able to discuss and get good advice from a braud section of people. One of lifes hardest things is to discuss personal issues with friends/family and yet the mdj family is non judgmental and you will be made totally welcome to talk through any issue thats on your mind. There are forums for every known issue to mankind, to me MDJ.com has become my family extension, id be lost without these good people and the extremely good guide lines that group leaders help us all with to keep threads topical and friendly."

Live Chat, MDJ Bar and so much more

Jun 01 2010

UPDATE: as of August 2012 we no longer support the MDJ toolbar and we recommend uninstalling it.

Exciting day !

I am very happy to announce the launch of the MDJunction Community toolbar for your browser (aka the MDJ Bar)!! You can now get many of the functionalities of MDJunction on your own browser with a BIG added value… the MDJ Bar supports a 1on1 live chat customized for our own community.

What is this bar? We partnered with Conduit, the leading provider of toolbars in the world, to built the MDJ Bar which will show when you have PMs waiting, give you quick access to your groups, one click to start a discussion in any of your groups and the ability to chat live with your friends on MDJunction without giving away your IM or personal email. One step up in helping you choose what stays on MDJunction and what goes elsewhere…

Click here to visit the Download Page . The toolbar comes with a built in uninstaller so if you don’t like it you can always remove it.

In addition to the MDJunction functionalities the Bar comes with an easy to use google search, a great internet radio feature and the option to add an email notifier and local weather. We’re also working hard on making another MDJunction feature available to the bar but I’m not at liberty to say what it is yet…. I can only tell you it will be very very COOL ;-)

SO – go ahead and try it out!

Your friend,
roy

Thanks, roy, but I have too many tool-bars on my access page, my Mozilla Firefox access page and I am going to have to clean them up because they clutter-up my visual field. But I'm sure others will find this tool useful....to each his own, eh? Today is the first day of winter in the Antipodes.-Ron

Hi Roy,
Thanks for letting me know about the tool bar. At this present time I already have way to many tool bars and really need to get rid of some of them. Thank you very much though for your efforts in this complete web site which has become a very great service to many people with alot of health problems and a way of communicating their problems and looking for answers.

Very beautiful little girl!

hi roy and alon

well, i downloaded it, but i think mine is hung up somewhere??

my left margin is cut off 1/2" so i can't read anything there; i tried reducing my VIEW size by using mouse/control to decrease size; nope.

looks great; i don't want to make mdj my home page; i want my email to remain that way, but will be a TIMESAVER i'm sure!

thanks guys for creating this site and all the thousands of VOLUNTEER hours you spend here making it run efficiently with your HUGE GROWING OF MEMBERS for all 700 boards you offer!

well done my 2 friends. smilies/grin.gif

lovely daughter in nature, hope you've got her well dressed for being outside to avoid TICKS & FUTURE LYME DISEASE. smilies/angry.gif

Little Angel, what a beautiful gift

written by coco76, June 01, 2010

Hi Roy,
That is so cool will it be one big chat room or individual chat rooms? Will we be able to view our 'chatter-friends' profiles? I have neurofibromatosis and over six years ago we had a chat room where we could look at our 'chatter-friends' profile. That chat room closed down and when they gave us our new chat room that does not allow us to veiw profiles, it is only for chat.
Your little one is sweet, thanks for sharing. Have a good week.
Best to you, Coco

Thanks again.

written by Creativsoul23, June 01, 2010

Hi Roy,
The new toolbar sounds good-being a bit technophobic, I might need a tutorial : ) but I will definitely check it out. I'm going to hook up with two support groups near me in the next month or so, and I'll print out the MDJ info that I know is somewhere on here, and take it along. I've been having a really rough time, and am trying to get a grip on anxiety and depression, as well as the Fibromyalgia. As of today, I haven't left my house in a week, which is not good. I've always been the "helper"; not used to being the "helpee" (is that a word?) It's still really difficult for me to ask for help.

Anyway, I will pass on info if I can drag myself to the above-mentioned groups, and also have some info a friend sent me about new treatments for Fibromyalgia, which I'm checking out, and will gladly pass on. It's past the scientific study stage, and being utilized by doctors in many areas across the country! Not sure if it's covered by insurance, but I'll check. I'll contact you to see what might be the best way to get it to the group on here.

Thanks again for your info; your little girl looks sweet as always : )
Take care!
~Karen

Thank you Roy for the message and will give the toolbar a try. You are so blessed to have such a beautiful daughter, thanks for sharing

written by DigitalFreedom, June 01, 2010

Thanks Roy, I enjoy this site and all you have done for the members. But, PLEASE understand there are some reasons some people HATE tool bars, and many of us have read reports of adware /spyware being tied to the vast majority of tool bars. I have experience working in tech support on windows based PCs, and tool bars bother me a lot. I do not and will not install any tool bar.

Pretty picture though, and I do wish you the best and do not wish to come of as being mean. I very much appreciate this site and all you and the team has done for us very much. But no thanks to the tool bar. 'kay?

written by Lon, June 03, 2010

Roy, although I certainly like the idea of easier communication with the MDJunction community, I do not like the idea of adding yet another toolbar to my browser. Also, I am not very trusting of companies like Conduit who tend to use the toolbars as a way of tracking users as they move about on the Internet. Therefore, I will be passing on the toolbar.

written by shakti, June 03, 2010

Good to hear from you Roy. Very impressed with all that you do. Will have a look at this at some point. What a lovely little girl you have. She is the age of my grandson and I love him to bits. So glad that things seem to be going well for you.
