PLEASE nobody leave what would do, i cannot get into health unlocked, tried. why they want to meddle beats me we are all not into IT my computers skills are not good
hi Maggie, just got home from surgery appt. I need to take a breath for a bit, but don't worry, I'm not goin anywhere! I'll try 2 catch up w/you in a bit ( if I can find you!)😕💕
Hi Margaret, I don't have a problem in following the link and getting in. The trouble with new designs is that they have to bed in and flag up what doesn't work. We'll need to be patient for a while. I'll be happy to list one or two blips I've already discovered and inform the administrator. Meanwhile we're still here! @
feedback totally welcome!!!
Hi margaret 22251
I'm not leaving i'm beginning to find my way around the new format. I don't like change but i'm sure we will all get accustomed to it....hope you can get used to it margaret and find your way around it. If you need some help just ask and i'l help you if i can....kind thoughts.....
The trouble is Celia this is the fourth iteration I have been faced with in the last few years and had to learn to navigate without any help at all.
I had a year when it was next to impossible to get onto the forum at all. I have had periods where I didn't get notifications and had to log in and check every individual internal notification. I still cannot see which post a reply applies to or the first line of the comment as on other forums I use - just who started the thread, When that is a person with a memorable name and they have only posted a couple that is fine, I don't mind. But when someone with a fairly common user name (I can't remember the numerical part of every name) posts several threads that are running concurrently - I have then to check every single notification to be sure I have seen them all.
Maybe I think too much of my own value - but this has been my charity/volunteering role for the last 10 years and I think I do provide a useful service with regard to sound and reliable medical and life management info about PMR and GCA. I'm just fed up with it being made more difficult - unnecessarily so IMHO.
Just keep reading! The last time you mucked about with the forum you claimed you were listening (perhaps not you personally but "The moderators") and there didn't appear to be much listening to the things we found most difficult for ages. i.e. you decided ignore them and maybe they'll go away.
I know that in the past the IT bunnies have been advised something will not be a good idea but it was introduced nevertheless. The IT bunnies are young and IT-savvy. The users of medical forums are generally speaking NOT.
SO GLAD you're NOT leaving Mary....you are my "cyber sister"!😘😏
Thanks. Couple of problems so far. DEFAULT CAPITALISATION ON IPAD AND PHONE. Also double click at end of system doesn't give a full stop
Hope this helps
Eileen please do not LEAVE you are invaluable to this forum without you this last four years i would have been in a right pickle.
Good for you Eileen i am sick to death of young ones not thinking of the older generation.n
like to see how they will cope in twenty or thirty years when they are older
@celia14153 Yup - spotted that too, very annoying!!! It's on my list to fix over the next couple of days.
amen Maggie....whatever happened to the notion of respecting one's elders? (of course, I've got a hard time w/that too, as I consider myself to be quite a young 67)!!😁😇😱
once again, I'm not sure this is being posted to the correct place....when typing, I was replying to Maggie, but after I pressed "send", I noticed it's not coming up directly under her post....It's a ways down! Ughhh...is anyone else still struggling to figure this out? I don't want to keep creating new posts just to try and gather everyone together! Very frustrating....😣
Thanks. Also like to say that changes do need time to bed in and some of these look good.
That isn't any different to what it was before - it slots in after the last comment in a thread.
I SECOND THAT Eileen....can we just all hang in and still be there 4 one another? I'm needing all your support right now due to impending surgery...I'm scared😢
not finding that to be true, at least 4 me.....example, I didn't find your comment for 20m, till I went back 2 email and then got bounced back to this! not sure if I'm explaining this well....HOPE you can understand what I'm trying to convey. my answers AND responses seem to be ALL over the place!
YIKES...this CAN'T only be me that's having such problems...can it?? everything's so out of order. I'm having to jump all OVER the place, and then I lose track of where I'm at! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm almost at my wits end....this is too stressful. if anyone can advise asap, please do....I really don't want to lose contact right now...needing all support I can get!
Hi lynda62707 I am having problems i'm receiving the same posts and answers over and over again. I don't think the forum managers have got this change settled yet they still need to finalise things. Everything seems to be out of sync!. Keep cool lynda, i thought i was loosing it when i was getting repeat posts and replies. All very odd hope things are sorted soon....it's mind boggling! don't like my mind being boggled.... Keep cool Be strong This nightmare Will soon be gone!...........Hopefully!!😣😥🙄🙏
