Colleague moderation settings

Vote 0 Votes

By default the My Medical Career community requires users to approve all colleague requests. This is a privacy setting to make sure that people cannot just add you as a colleague unless you allow this.

Adding colleagues allows you to talk to people addressing similar medical careers issues as you and see what they are up to.

In Edit my account there is an option to decide whether

  • anyone can list you as a colleague
  • colleagues must be approved by you
  • nobody may list you 

If you have set your account up so that you can moderate colleagues, the Colleague requests menu option allows you to manage this.

My Resources is an RSS aggregator

RSS feeds allow you to keep up with your favourite websites without having to check them manually. The My Medical Career feed aggregator allows you to automatically view new content from multiple sites in one central location.

How do I subscribe to an RSS feed?

To subscribe to an RSS feed you need to know its URL. Then, perform the following steps:

  1. Select My Resources from your toolbar
  2. Paste the RSS feed URL into the subscriptions box and press 'Subscribe'
Alternatively, you may view the feeds already available within the community under My Resources => Community Feeds and subscribe to one of these. You can see which feeds you have subscribed to under Feeds, and view the content of all your feeds under the View aggregator submenu option.
 

Using RSS feeds to keep up with activity in the My Medical Career community

It is also possible to subscribe to RSS feeds originating from within the community. You may subscribe to a user's blog by clicking the RSS logo next to their Personal Blog, or keep track of their file uploads by clicking the RSS logo next to their File Storage.

To incorporate this feed into your resources

  • right-click the RSS logo and copy the link
  • return to your profile
  • go into My Resources => Feeds
  • paste the copied link into the address bar and click Subscribe
The feed will then be incorporated into your feed aggregator.
