Sig file help for new member

Postby ptsmith » Fri Jul 21, 2017 4:00 pm

New member. Hi!

I joined in hope of finding some info on LARS Incontinence, but first I need some help with my sig file. With all the abbreviations, I can't read them much less make one. :) So if I could get some help I would appreciate it.

Hi everyone and thanks for the help!

Yes pre OP, not post. Thanks for the correction and for adding my sig file CRguy. Most members use a lot of abbreviations like Jacques. I assumed that was expected.

I did look through the abbreviation thread and honestly it made my head spin. :) That's a lot of abbreviations! I'm dyslexic. I do good to write a coherent sentence. No way I can remember so many abbreviations.

Honestly I like mine without the abbreviations. Everyone can read it and I'm sure not the only one that struggles with them.

Thanks again! I'll start a thread about my problems later today.

PS: This forum is great! I've been searching and reading it for weeks. This has to be the best resource for people like us on the internet. (We need a thumbs up emoticon.) :)
