Hello anna the discourse app is no longer working on my ipad for at least 3weeks it was perfect but now none of the links are active and i can’t navigate the site so i’m back to using the internet which is rather clunky in comparison.
Hi @Mich-mm
Thanks for your message. Here are a few things you could try to get the app working again:
- Check your internet connection: Make sure your connection is stable, or try switching to a different network (e.g. Wi-Fi ↔ mobile data).
- Restart the app: Close the Discourse Hub app completely and reopen it.
- Restart your device: A simple restart can sometimes clear temporary software glitches.
- Check for updates: Ensure both your iPad software and the Discourse app are up to date.
- Reinstall the app: Uninstall the Discourse Hub app and then reinstall it again (you’ll just need to sign back in).
If it’s still not working after that, please submit a ticket to our Service desk so we can look into it further.

Hi @Fallenleaf
Unfortunately the Online Community doesn’t specifically have a read aloud option. However I have looked over a couple of different web browsers and have found some read aloud options on these. I’ve found these on Google and on Microsoft Edge. I’ve taken some screen shots of how to find these and put them below for you. These are for if you’re using the Online Community on a computer. On a phone these options are more limited, you could however temporarily turn on your phones in built ‘read aloud’ function which is usually found in the accessibility settings within your phone.
Google:
Click on the 3 dots in the top right corner of the browser
Click on the ‘more tools’ function
Click on the ‘reading mode’ function.
This will bring up a new pane, next to the one you want it to read, click the play button in the left hand corner of the new pane
Microsoft Edge:
In the top right hand corner of the search bar you will find the ‘read aloud’ function. Click on the capital ‘A’ which you can see below. This will read the page for you. It does read some of the page that you may not want it to before it gets to the message but it works well after that.
I hope this helps, please do let me know if I can help in any other way.

Dear Anna
Could you change my email
Jenny Wren
Hi @jenny-wren
I will change your email address for you, you will receive an email from us to your new email which will ask you to confirm this email address. Also just to let you know I’ve edited your post and removed your email address. As the Online Community is public, people will be able to see your email so it’s best not to post it on the site.

hello Anna,
nice to meet you. and to join the community.
my wife had a stroke 3 weeks ago and is recovering in hospital. The next step, although there is no timeline as yet, is to undergo rehabilitation.
I feel very uninformed and unprepared for the next steps, whether that be while my wife is still out of the house or for when she returns.
is there any guidance you can provide at this early stage?
Thanks very much
ps sorry I love cheese … 
Hi @greenjim
Nice to meet you too and welcome to the community, I’m sorry to hear about your wife’s stroke.
It is early days in your wife’s recovery, however we do have some information on recovery which does cover leaving hospital and rehabilitation which you may find helpful to have a read of. If you haven’t already I would also advise giving our Stroke Support Helpline:0303 3033 100 a call as they will be able to give more personalised advise for your local area and what may be available to you. Also, use this community. There is a wealth of knowledge here from people with lived experience of what you and your wife are going through at the moment and I hope this community will be of help and comfort to you both.
If you need anything whilst you’re using the Online Community, please don’t hesitate to tag me using the @ symbol and my username.

PS don’t worry, I won’t hold your love of cheese against you

How do you create a new topic? I got it wrong last time
Hi @jenny-wren
You can create a new topic by pressing the ‘New Topic’ button on the right hand side - see below a screenshot:
Once you press this, a new box will appear, like the image below:
You can then type the title of your post in the top box where it says ‘Type title’, then choose your category and then start typing in the box that says ‘Type here’. Once you have finished you press the blue button at the bottom which say ‘+ Create topic’.
Hope this helps, if you need any further help let me know
Anna
I didn’t get type here but share your story. What am i doing wrong?
Hi @jenny-wren
It may be that the box needs to be expanded.
Can you see this little line at the top of the box, I’ve posted a picture of it below with the red square round it.
If you can see this, you can hover over it with your mouse, click down on the mouse and hold whilst you move the line up. This will expand the box so you type in it.
I hope this helps
Anna
I can type the title but not the message. Sorry to be thick!
this doesn’t work sorry.
Don’t worry @jenny-wren you’re not being thick!
Can you see the box where you type your message in?
