Welcome to My Epilepsy Diary!

Sat, 10/31/2009 - 07:53

Hi everyone!

I hope you've had the chance to try out the new and revised My EpilepsyDiary. I hope you find it as easy to use as I do.  There's a new video on the home page that will show you how to get started, as well as a detailed help section.  We hope these help you get started with your own diary - create one to help monitor and track your own epilepsy. If you're a parent or other caregiver you can start one for your loved one with seizures! If you run into any problems and need some live help - send an email to - webmaster@epilepsytherapyproject.org or patty@epilepsytherapyproject.org. Or post questions or concerns right here. I'll be checking this frequently and will get right back to you.

We welcome all feedback - what's working well, what's not, and what you'd like to see in the future. The Diary was created for you, so please let us know how you feel.

We look forward to hearing from you and don't forget - Take Control!

Best wishes,

Epi_help

The addon for accessing the diary in Mozilla Firefoxs' latest release is not valid. It was working with the previous release but not the most recent.

I just checked on this and downloaded the latest version myself. I got it working for the site and the diary, but I may have picked up a change that is affecting your computer. This version apparently blocks popups automatically and the user needs to go in and allow certain sites to allow their popups - at least that is my understanding from their intro page to their new version. To see if this is a problem for your computer, go to Tools/Options then see if popups is checked to not allow them. If so, uncheck it and see where you can enter which sites that popups are okay to allow. If the browser is allowing the popups, make sure java enabled. If more problems with it, please email the webmaster and myself as we may need more info to help you sort it out. In the meantime, Internet explorer seems to be working fine.

Sorry you're having trouble. Let us know if more problems after you check the above few things.

Hi Lexx,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have the developers working on this right now. I'll let you know when we have an updated extension for Firefox on our site. They work really fast so I expect I'll have good news within a day most likely.
