Find Care & Housing

I find it confusing. Glad I joined before it started or I would have felt lost. Slowly getting a bit the hang of it but stayed away for several days as I didnt want more head spinning in my life. Most of us have this to a degree so any more confusion isnt helpful.

AC Administration, you need to make the AVATARS and Posters Names Bigger and Bolder Colors, as they Are Very hard to read, Please!

Also, where do you make the print larger? I saw it somewhere, that you can do this, but for the life of me, I cannot find it! Thank You!

Otherwise, I am slowing getting the hang of it, using a Samsung Galaxy tablet.

Back on here today and it seems I'm getting a bit more comfortable. Hope it keeps getting easier -- maybe it's me?

I know I was glad when some of the older questions weren't accepting any new postings..... but what about the "discussion" section? There is one old discussion that really needed to say good-bye.

Another thing I had noticed. Strange, about the spel check. As you can see the word "spell" is wrong, I did that on purpose, the software underlined it in red but that red line went away when I did another misspelling on another word. I usually don't proof-read until I am through. Thus, only the last misspelling will be underlined. Oops, that's not good, as my fingers have a different dictionary then my brain :P

What I don't like about the new care site is it seems like it's scaring off all my favorite friends on here. Please don't leave favorite friends! :(

Oh, I thought I was the only one having problems with spellcheck - mine does the same thing FF!

I just popped over to Discussions to see if any of the old ones were closed - they are. I think they have to have been dormant for a certain length of time before they become closed (which may be a problem for seldom used threads like "Grossed out and need to vent")

Cwillie,
Thinking I have read somewhere that after 180 days a thread will be closed to new comments.
Surely, contacting the ACCM could help reactivate a thread?

My computer has a spell check, and now I learn the website has a spell check?
Those two little demons must be having a fight to the death, as now I am having to correct every few words! Confirming, YES, spell check is a problem.

The spell check is set up in my browser, which is why I thought the problem was something on my computer. Since FF is having the exact issues as I am I think it must be a software compatibility thing or something like that... way over my head.

For some reason, spellcheck keeps turning itself back on in my kindle. Hubs just fixed it.

Gershun,
The good thing about caregivers is that a little (or a lot) of frustration is not going to chase them away, imo. True though, more frustration is not needed.

OK, I r e a l l y h a t e ! ! ! the reply to an individual poster thing. I'll see that someone has made a comment - which often looks out of context on the news feed - but when I go to the thread I have to search for it buried somewhere down the page. I don't see any benefit from it, if I want to connect with someone directly I can post a PM, otherwise I'd just as soon make a comment part of the general conversation and relevant to anyone.

Well, I guess I am getting used to it.

One thing that is very irritating to the point I will not read a thread, is the box to select "oldest first", "newest first"!

I know there are some that prefer newest first, but I need to read the entire thread to figure out what has been said already. So, "newest first" does not make reading a thread easy and I may skip it entirely.

Why not place the oldest/newest drop down in the "Profile" or "Settings" area? Then we could choose how we prefer to read a post.

Why am I getting threads posted to my newsfeed that I am not following nor commented on?

I just really don't like the new one. Miss the old one. Just really don't like it. :(

I have to agree, Smeshque. I understand and respect that AgingCare must do what they feel is best for their business. But.... Having to click and click to see a simple list of questions and discussions makes the forum much less visually appealing to me, less enticing. Add the small font size and I just find myself spending my internet time elsewhere.

I soooo agree, Glad! When you're page 4, you have to scroll to the bottom and read UP as you follow the thread. Then when you hit page 3, it opens automatically to the top. So, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom, to read in chronological order, and scroll up reading. Then you hit page 2, you're on the top...scoll all the way down... etc...

AND, when I open a page, I automatically hit END, before I realize that I just moved to the answers from the beginning.

Solution:
1. Give us this option in our Profile (can a programmer confirm if this possible?)

2. If we open a thread and hit Oldest First, can that thread "Remember" this preference for future visits. Like the Old site.... Unless of course we clean our history/cache, it would default back to Newest First.

3. Make all the threads open automatically to Oldest First (which may not be very popular to most.)

I always enter a thread, hit "oldest first" button, then hit the "button (》)" that takes you to the very end, then hit the "back button (<)" to take me to where I've left off, especially on the really old threads that I follow religiously. It's a couple of quick steps, but works every time!

Yes, there is that Stacey. You need to come around more often😉 it may become very irritating for you too.

And like Book said if it would just remember which way we left it the last time.

This is my new pet peeve.

I have done "Searches" for people that I followed on the old website as I have not seen any postings from them on the new website.

When you do a "Search" for a person, that person's postings or answers or questions are NOT listed in chronological order.  The dates skip around from June 2018 to April 2018 to Aug 2017 to Aug 2018 to Dec 2016 to Sept 2015 to July 2018.

Also, when I do a "Search" I am finding postings or questions that I have NEVER seen on the "Need Answers" or "Recent Questions" lists.  It seems like the same questions are listed day after day after day with only 4-5 new questions instead of the 10-20 new questions that we used to have on the old website. 

Why do 90% of questions only have TWO ANSWERS and only a few questions have more than FIVE answers? or have 10+ answers?

The color scheme is giving me a headache.  Can I change the background color?

I really miss the photos that use to grace the articles written by Aging Care. So when I am searching for an article for a question, I know I had landed on the correct article. Plus the photo would give the article a bit of friendliness. Now it just looks like a book report :P

I am one of the oldest first type of people.... but all the clicking involved as when I am finished with that thread, I will click back to get the main page of questions/discussions. Click, click, click, click, rinse, repeat. I would also like it if the software would allow us to choose which format we like, newest first or oldest first, and keep it that way.

I don't like the statement this discussion is closed. Maybe those should be placed by themselves. I also don't see as many frequent postings and keep seeing same ones without really recent replies. I don't understand how those achieve heading the list. I wish there was an update section for those with truly difficult problems that seem REAL
I often wonder how they are coping.

I still find the site difficult to read. The section on popular questions have been on here for a long time. I don’t think there are many new questions. Bring back the option of using the old site.

Seems obvious to me we’re losing some our posters, people whose thoughts I miss, who either aren’t bothering anymore, or are checking in far less often due to the frustrations of the update. The unneeded update seems to have alienated the very people who the site depends upon. Things that make you go hmmmm......

The only way there will be changes to the site is if there is a noticeable decrease in the overall number of people using the site - advertisers only care about how many people visit the site and see their ads and could care less whether people are coming back more than once.

I think part of the problem with change of any kind is having to adjust your thinking. I enjoy posting on here and if the admin. don't change back to the old site then I guess I'll just have to adjust. Anything worth doing sometimes requires a little bit of difficulty but I enjoy my friends on here and knowing that something I say might help someone keeps me coming back.

But........having said that I do miss the old site too!

I miss the menu of headlines down the right hand side. The news feed doesn't do the same job, does it, or is it just me?

I miss it too, cm. The news feed with the column on the right gave a very good snapshot of what was happening on the site and you could respond quickly. The new site does not provide this as easily. I find I am less likely to search through the various menu items and interact with threads.
