Hi ladies
Interesting to read all the comments about the new website. I only use my iPad to access the site I have not used it on my computer. I only joined the site late last year and had just got used to navigating my way around before it changed. I work in IT and fully understand everyone's frustration to changes but from the technical side it is also a massive job to make sure all the data is transferred over and in the correct places, that being said I think communication or lack of has been the worst problem. I personally don't like the groups and members list on the right hand side of the page taking up space. ( could be just a link) I like the My Feeds section so I can monitor what's going on in groups I'm a member of but I would prefer more posts to a page this is where it becomes clunky. I'm not sure about the "live feeds" people are talking about, I can't really remember using that as I wasn't on the old site for long. Is that something to do with people posting who are not in any particular group?? The whole site has too much white space, it might look pretty but it's not really practical when your wanting to have a quick look to see what's happening. The messages side of things is very clunky too. I would like to see many more messages to a screen so I can browse quickly. I have not been able to find a way to delete messages after I have read them anyone know how? Maybe they could come up with a user guide?? Or at least a hints and tips page??
I have joined the breast reconstruction Facebook page and there is quite a lot of activity going on there and virtually nothing on here. I would love to do a photo story of my journey but I have no confidence in Facebook being as secure as posting on this website.
It makes me sad that this invaluable service may be under utilized because of lack of communication and support. I personally received fantastic support from the ladies on here at a very difficult time in my life.
