Welcome, welcome!

Welcome to Homeschool Speak - a place for homeschoolers to come together, support one another, and build each other up!

This is our soft launch! What does that mean?

It means that this is the first time we have opened up and promoted this new community to the public!! It means that YOU are a part of something new! It means that you are one of the first to check out the community and tell us what you think.

It also means that we are still growing, and learning, and changing. We are so excited that you are here and we want to thank you in advance for your patience while we work out any kinks or growing pains along the way.

This community is all about and for YOU!! If there is anything you'd like to suggest that you think would make this forum even better, please do post it in the Questions & Feedback forum. We want your input!!

Also, be sure to.....

Very exciting!

I wanted to ask you if there's a way to get notifications of replies? I'm still trying to figure things out here - and I've had responses to comments / posts I have made but didn't know until I logged into the forum. I know where alerts are IN the forum but wondering if they have the capability to be sent to my email or via text?

Yes, you can setup notifications via email. You can do so per thread or conversation or you can set your default to notify you via email from within your site preferences. Click on that link or your user name and look for preferences. There you have the option to check the boxes for email notifications when new conversation messages are received, when a reply is posted to a thread you started (your content), and to a thread you replied to (interacted with). You can set each option individually to suit your personal preferences.

Additional notification options may be coming in the future- possibly via text or push notifications.


Edited to add: Conversation=private message, where you see the little envelope to the right of your user name.

Thank you! This seems like it will be fun. I’m always looking to pick other homeschool mamas brains without all the distractions of Facebook
