^You have a "Depression/Anxiety" link-
We removed the anxiety portion from that thread and created a separate Anxiety Disorder Mega thread, remember?

Otherwise- looks good!
Good work!
 
I'll get that taken care of! This may take me a few days.

Anyone who can read this and has favourite threads from TDS, let me know and they'll be included!

Just a couple of quickies mate.

TDS Shorthand Explanations is the correct spelling.


In the General Information Links for example, is it possible to have a space between the links or maybe bigger font as its fairly hard to read and i have a big screen.


Not picking, just some ideas.

The concept is excellent and when completed will be of a huge value to your readers. Well in mate.
 
Good catch on the type-o! And ya, I'll look at different varieties for the links as I work on and take your point to mind. Thanks for the reply, Maz!
