Discussion Forum

Following our recent review process there have been some changes to the Scottish Social Networks Forum. Many of our users commented that they would like a way to contact other SSNF users. Well, we listened, and saw the official launch of the SSNF Discussion Forum. This can be found at www.scottishsocialnetworks.org/forum

This forum has been developed to give you the chance to discuss your experiences and share your expertise with other users, as well as ask fellow professionals for advice. To post discussions or replies all you have to do is register. To make the most of this e-community we suggest that you set aside a few minutes a week to check what’s going on at the forum. 

If you have any questions about the forum please contact info@scottishsocialnetworks.org
