Happy Friday to all - I hope you’ve had a great week, apologies in advance for the long update today, however there is so much to tell you.

First up is the activity within the online network -- We have seen over 320 comments, 41 new blog posts and 27 new sign ups - with some great connections and support! Members like 'blackduck' who made her first blog post and was made to feel welcome and supported - https://www.bcna.org.au/online-network/members/Blackduck/blog/so-scared-2

Some inspiring posts around keeping active and well - https://www.bcna.org.au/online-network/groups/get-active-and-keep-well/blog/getting-active

And some support during chemo from unlikely friends - https://www.bcna.org.au/online-network/members/gilliegirl4/blog/coral-my-kk-as-my-support-during-chemo

I'm glad to share some of the fixes and improvements we have made to the site this week and they include:

  • Online network speed - This has taken us some time and resources but I am pleased to say you should experience quicker load times when navigating around the online network - Yay! We will keep an eye on this and make improvements as we go.
  • Notifications - You should now receive a notification to your online network 'Inbox' when a blog post you have commented on has further activity. For example: If Sally comments on Anna's blog post, Anna is notified - If Stacey then comments on Anna's blog post - both Anna and Sally will receive a notification and so on..... I am hoping it will keep you connected with activity in the online network.
  • Deleting from your Inbox - there was an issue with deleting 'Broadcasts' from your messages but this has now been fixed and your 'Trash' folder will be clear after 24 hours to help reduce the load loading on your profile.
  • Recommendation email - If you recommend a blog post / someone recommends your blog post a notification is received into your Inbox and you can link back to see what blog post was 'Recommended'

We are still working through some issues relating to viewing the site from different versions of Internet Explorer, some improvements to help facilitators of groups and notification/Inbox issues.

If there are aspects of the new website that you still find confusing, please leave a comment on the blog post to let us know. Other members may be able to help you, and we can put together additional Help and FAQ resources if there is a need for specific advice.

    Hi Louise,

    I am just jumping in here in answer to this question.  I know you are a member of the breast reconstruction group.  If you post your photos and story in there we can tag them and add them to our growing collection of reconstruction stories. As this is a private group only the members of that group will see your pictures and they can't be picked up by anyone doing any sort of internet search.  I think if you post images in the main forum you may run the risk of them being able to be found by the general public (correct me if I am wrong Daina?).  Not sure if this is the information you are after. If not hopefully Daina can help you out.

    Good luck,

    Paula :)

    Here is the info on How to post in the breast reconstruction page.  I hope the link works as its to a PDF file.

    Hi Daina,

    Love the mailbox fix!!

    I would love to post a photo story of my breast recon but not sure how to go about it, could you point me in the right direction.

    if I create it in my blog can I add to it so it is one continuous item rather than segmented.

    i do not want it to be public only for members

    is it better to compress the photos so they are not so big to upload

    Is it possible to put a link to my blog in a general post then only the ladies that are interested can look at it without displaying it to the whole network

    Any help would be most appreciated

    Louise x
