Removing the dash ... Moderators?

dltnhm

In the grand scheme of the boards, this is probably not an issue. I think that it does confuse some people who use the forums.

There is a section entitled Her2-Positive Breast Cancer. The dash - is sometimes read as a negative sign - . Of course this is completely understandable since there are a whole slew of Her2- participants.

Quick fix would be to remove the dash: Her2 Postive Breast Cancer

Alternate suggestion would be to replace the dash with a + sign and eliminate the word "Positive": Her2+ Breast Cancer

Just something that catches my eye from time to time.

Thanks Diana for the suggestion -- we think this is a logical edit and are happy to take care of it! We think HER2+ is probably the best way to go.

Thank you again!

Good suggestion, Diana. Thanks for raising it and to the Mods for dealing with it. Now, if we could only see the same response to the mess that the profile section has become! I honestly don't even look at it any more since it's become so needlessly wordy.

Thanks Mods!

You rock as always.

Hopeful, unfortunately, responding to the feedback on the profile changes takes a little more time as it's a larger, more involved job for our tech team. We can assure you, we ARE listening and taking all of your constructive criticism into account.

As always, thanks for your patience as we strive to make the Breastcancer.org Community the best it can be.

Thanks, Mods. Maybe a post to that effect would be helpful or an update? I think sometimes we see changes happen overnight on the board that come out of the blue but fixing things takes a long time and we begin to think it will never happen. At any rate, it's good to know it's still in the works. Thank you.
