I did a tour of the new Agingcare website and I don't think I like it.
First and most important, my head got cut off in the profile picture, only the torso is showing. That's not very nice. At all. Looks are very important, even to a polar bear. It took me a long time to pose for that picture. haha
Second, when I see an interesting question or discussion, and don't have any relevant answer or comment to add, but would like to read what others have to say, I can just click "Follow" and that tread will appear on my Follow list. The new Agingcare website doesn't have it. Why? That feature is very useful for a newbie like me.
Third, I prefer the large blue font type of the old site. Much easier to read. The new site has light smaller font size on a light blue background. Not as easy to read.
Whoever in charge of Agingcare website, can you fix the above?
Thanks
I do not like it at all. I think all posters responses and members are important to the success of AC. It seems a way of grading all of us, maybe even get some competitive? And didn't they stop tallying on questions or discussions for the reason of the negative behaviors some exhibit when they become competitive?
Since I am totally defeated by social media - for example, I accidentally liked my own project on my knitting website when I wanted to edit it, and spent the next ten minutes in a cold sweat trying to unlike it only to find I couldn't and was too embarrassed to ask the administrators how come you could like your own stuff oh the shame - I think it best I leave its mysteries alone.
More to the point, is Jeanne still posting, does anyone know?
I have to say, that was a very bad idea by AC!
Instead, without listing user names. Get some informAtion from various profiles to show the wide variety different care situations are represented here.
And Hey, while it's nice to be recognized, there are many other much more deserving contributors than little ole me, Blimey, I've stuck my foot in my mouth a ton of times and gotten into trouble too, so I'm kinda surprised I made it! How they came up with their system is anyone's guess, but I'm right there among so many good friends that I Greatly Admire, so I'll Take it, LOL! I made it into the TOP 5 Too, if there is such an order, LOL!!!! Whoo-Hoo!
And Why isn't IGLOO on that list, she is probably the #1 Most Valuable Contributor in My Book, Man oh Man, I've learned So Much from her! You Guy's are All Fantastic People, I Love You All!❤
Social media is flawed to begin with. I had hoped AC was above rating and comparing people. Just the other day on the news they were discussing how too many people judge how well they are doing on any given day by how many likes they received. Ridiculous!!!
I would say if you made "The List" or if you didn't, it shouldn't matter either way. In fact it doesn't.
The list is one of the worst ideas I have seen since the launch of the new and improved website. LOL! I don't think it was on the old site.
I think it's better to receive those accolades from your peers at the time with "LIKES" anyhow! I know that I always feel good when one of my famous long-winded posts get read and "LIKED" a whole bunch! Lol! I know I'm WORDY!
I don't like being on lists..............:)
If there was a list of the brattiest on this site maybe I should be on that list?
I say you'd be top brat on that list 😆👏👏👏
Maybe they could have a Naughty Corner in the News Feed - Brat Posters get their avatar put there for 24 hours. Race anyone?
you rank #14
look under About Aging Care

It appears that they have now rotated New TOP MEMBERS into the List, which is Good I think, so now other Great and Supportive Advisors will get the Accoldes they Deserve!
Now, if this is the way in which they are going to give the Attaboys to our Beloved AC Members, then I think the List is a Really Nice idea! Anyhoo, I still have my SCREENSHOT to remember My time on the Top Members List, LOL!
Gladimhere Ahmijoy, you are on the LIST Too! Congratulations you Made It!!!
Sorry Gershun, I guess you are just Too Baaaaad, but don't feel bad, I got the Boot! LOL!
