At the risk of offending people,I just have to say this today.I have waited patiently,thinking that every day when I log in,things will be better.Well they are not! If ironing out the little problems,is proving more difficult than first thought,couldn't we at least be given an update? I was not going to worry about saying anything,then earlier on I saw a post by' can erracraftychris' who I believe is a new lady to this forum.She has tried to work it out,and is now giving up.I don't blame her.When people have BC,they really don't need the added stress of trying to work this blog out!!!Personally,I don't know why it had to be changed.The only thing I can do now is look at new posts.I have no clue how to send a private message,or to receive one.I don't know how to edit something I write,and I don't know where to look to find comments on posts that I have responded to.Oh and one more thing,it is VERY slow.Sorry if I have upset people,but I feel it is such a shame that this is happening.Even the amount of posts this week,and responses from regular ladies,seem to have just dropped off.I think we should have had a survey before things were changed.Cheers Robyn

Hi Robyn, I have to agree. I have been logging in daily and this is the first time I have found a recent blog - and when I saw your name I had to scroll down a blank page to find your comment at the bottom. I know with a site this big there will be glitches - hopefully the programmers are sorting them out and haven't gone yet! Fingers crossed it will not be long. xx Michelle

Robyn - use Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer - all the blank space disappears and things look normal!

Hi Robyn this is the second try at commenting on your post. The other one just went nowhere! I too have no wish to offend anyone but agree this is too long without any sort of communication from BCNA as to what is happening. I hope things are fixed soon. Deanne xxx

I agree with you ladies. Not being 'computer savvy', I am finding it very difficult to navigate this network. I know that change can be a good thing...but I also feel disappointed that 'new' ladies to this forum may not persevere and 'give -up'...missing out on valuable information and support..isn't that what we are about? Chris.x

Hi Robyn, Please be assured that Jess and I are working around the clock with our developers to get these issues fixed. Unfortunately, with such a massive site like BCNA's there was always going to be some glitches and we are just working through them as fast as we can. Regarding the updates - We didn't want to take over the online network with blog post after blog post about the changes, fixes and improvements but I see your point and I will add an update tomorrow.

Hi girls. Not sure if you can see this :-( I have no idea how to work this forum so won't be around. It's taken me all my energy to try and find Robyn to post this. I miss you all :-(

Hi Robyn, go to Messages - any PMs will just have "from", and not "comment made etc". I have received and sent PMs from Summer, using Reply on her PM. The link on Messages is for PMs not general. Hope this helps.
