Stacey, I guess I just don't care enough..............LOL!

Hmmm, what should I say about this..............

Nothing! I still don't care! :)

I still think it is silly, goofy, Stacey and very unnecessary.

It does seem there's been some reshuffle of the list which I too think is odd

I only brought it up originally as I stumbled across it when I was trying to find a way to contact administration since I lost the search bar

If you’re not a top member, does that make one’s comments less valuable? Or if you are a top member does that mean only top member opinions count? I foolishly believed when I signed on that it was to provide support caregiver to caregiver not a competition. But, I’m new so what do I know.

I saw a Facebook meme that said, "Relax, we're all crazy, it's not a competition!" I thought, how true, especially for us caregivers lol. You know the list is probably some sort of algorithm, run by a bot. I agree, it's pretty goofy.

Apart from the "LIST" I'm still disappointed that so many members have stopped posting as much. While I'm not an active caregiver now since my Mom died I still enjoyed some of the non-care giving related banter that we had on the whine thread etc.

I understand why I'm not on the top contributer list cause I'm not American and can't converse intelligently about American medical costs etc. But I have always tried to offer emotional support which is needed no matter where you reside I would think. Ah well, such is life.

I know that when the website was updated, my computer got the "hiccups" and sometimes it "burped" when I was typing or looking at the updated website.  Maybe some of the people who have not been commenting are having computer problems and that is why they have not written as much as they used to.  Just a thought.

I have slowed down to a major crawl on writing on Aging Care. First, the change over in format... I had known the old format like the back of my hand [age spots and all]. So many of the new questions I can no longer relate.

Second, my free time has now been devoted to climbing the family tree, over 2000 people now and still shaking limbs. It was been so fascinating :)

With the new format I'm finding that I don't see new questions and posts for several days - anyone else?

I still get my daily email (not that I read it) and all the threads in my news feed seem to be updated in real time CM.

CM,

Yes. When I pull up the site there are new answers/responses. When I pull up a particular thread the new answers/responses aren’t there.

If you aren't signed in the threads you visit are usually showing helpful answers - be sure to check that you are getting newest/oldest first.

CM, are you checking for new questions and posts using the "Forum" button on the Aging Care ribbon at the top of the page?
(1)
Report

Another thing I don't like is the response window is a fixed size. That's fine if the response is short, but many times responses can be lengthy. I'd have to move the slider up and down to re-read it. There's no way to pull the response window bigger to see the whole response.

As much as I love this site, I'm rarely on it because of the new format.

So nice to see some of you posting again. Frequent Flyer, MountainMoose, CM etc.

Please stick around.............please! Pretty, pretty, please............with honey on top.

There, did I grovel enough?

One more for good measure................PLEASE!

I want to once again complain about the option to reply to a comment 😒
It seems that some members have been busily replying to each individual answer rather than updating the group as a whole - this is probably exhausting for the OP and all that shows up on the news feed is the last comment made, so although the OP might have been busily replying to a dozen people we get none of it. IMO it really is asking a lot of anyone following to scroll through the entire thread to read each reply in order to see any updates or additional details that have been added (or to even see that their own comment has been replied to).

I am signed in.

Newest First.

Newsfeed shows an answer 22 mins ago. Tapped on thread title to see complete thread. Last answer showing was 44 mins ago. The answer showing on newsfeed is just not there.

This is a problem often for me.

Wondering if it is because I’m using my phone?

Lizzy,
There is a new feature that allows posters to reply directly to another poster right there on that thread, just below their name. Even much later.
So maybe this is where the news feed item is hiding.

This has happened to me also. I am still at a loss to find the latest entry at times. And, I will post, then a previous post shows up below mine.
Here, have some emoji hugs.....

I wish we could upload HUGS of our choosing especially since there are so few.

Hi Send

I can see the reply’s directly to a specific poster. And the option to do so if I choose.

I read also there is a forum button on the top ribbon.

On my phone the top ribbon consists of menu bar, AgingCare, Find Care, and my Avatar.

I don’t know, I am just not seeing as much content as I did on the old site.

The upside to that I guess is that I don’t spend much time on the site going from topic to topic like I used to.
🤷🏼‍♀️

On my phone, the Forum is very hard to find. The only way to find it seems to be from the menu drop-down and click "Ask a Question". No wonder traffic is down. And instead of forum label it current activity or some such.

Glad,

There it is!

When the new site launched, that is what the website looked like when I pulled it up. Not sure when that view changed for me.

Anyway, just thought I would ask or whine about it in case admins were wondering about traffic. I imagine the number of folks trying to use the site with phones is way down.

I think there is definitely less traffic on the forum now.

There are three sections to Questions -- Needs Answers, Recent and Popular. Too many! Why is there a Needs Answers section? It's a little like nagging people that questions need answers.

For Discussions there are two sections -- Recent and Popular.

And it's confusing to allow replies under posts, because they are difficult to find.

Still no word from the forum administrators?

Report

Some of us actually asked for an easier way to find questions that needed answers because when people posted in the middle of the night or the forum was extra busy some questions got pushed off the main page and overlooked.
(3)
Report

I didn't know that people asked for a section of questions that needed answers.

Personally, I get tired of looking at so many sections, and it's even more annoying when reading the forum on my phone.

Then again, I'm not as invested in this forum as others. I'm really only checking it nowadays for updates on Dorker's saga and to see how Midkid58 is doing.

I’d be very interested to know how much less posting there is since the change. I know I’m here less and less, and others are gone entirely. But I don’t guess that’s info that will be told. It’s unfortunate that people were driven away

However, Daughter of 1930,
Many posters have said they are just reading, but it is nice to see you have not left us as abandoned caregivers.
Same with CTTN55, good to see you still here.
O dear, now I am sounding like the attrition keeper, when all I want is our place to be comfortable, safe, and friendly, and also welcoming to caregivers and former caregivers.

Peace to you all.
