Post your tech glitches, errors, issues, etc. here.

Moderators, I am not understanding why in the past days you have added the two new click boxes to each post. Perhaps the "copy link" might be useful in limited circumstances, but why the "post a reply" box? All it does is take you to the bottom of the page which one normally posts anyway--it makes it appear you can post a reply to that one post, but that's not the way it works. Seems a waste of screen space and a distraction. Why have these been added?

Glad to hear. I have been wondering as well why these boxes are in now. Hope you will let us know. In the meantime, while I am here, I still have my issue of always having NEW displayed in my favorites list on Older Ladies. Doesn't matter if it was me who posted or someone else. The box stays active at NEW at all times. I've coped with it for at least a yr. now, but I like to see what is REALLY new at a glance.

Yes, I'm still waiting for an answer here. What's with those boxes!!??? Totally unnecessary and disrupts the look and flow of the page!!

Moderators, thanks for the promises for future rollouts of changes. I remember a similar promise a couple of years ago with another poorly designed change had to revert back to the original. I volunteered to review potential changes then, and I think I received one email around that time but haven't been asked to review since. I'm curious who you are using as testers/reviewers and how many people are involved? Are you contacting regular users of the site before changes suddenly appear or waiting to see how we react? Seems like your marketing research process needs review!

Moderators, I agree with Melissa and know newcomers will not benefit from your suggestions. From what I see on my account, I would never choose the topics BCO is recommending for me!!!!!!! I feel like you feel we're stupid and don't know how to think for ourselves. I no more want BCO to second guess my "relevant" topics than I want Google to develop their profiles and display links from what I search!! Please, in providing a service for BC participants, do not become "big brother." Again, I don't know why you require me to take action on something you added without my permission. Most companies are not allowed to opt someone into something without their permission. Why should BCO be allowed? Just stop and remove that intrusive part of Active Topics now!

Adding my voice - we DO NOT NEED recommendations - whatever they are based on. NO-NO-NO. The above comments are correct. Those of us who take our valuable time to read the active threads and try to provide assistance to new users, are definitely against this. You know, the discussion boards are kept vital & alive by just these people - those who are trying to "pay it forward". Don't clutter up the program. I venture to guess many of us will drop out trying to answer worried newbies if you let this go forward.

I just checked the recommended for you and boy are they waaaay off base. Not one of the three pertains to me. More time and money wasted on so called improvements. Editing to add that one topic’s last activity was 2014 about babies and immunizations (I’m 69); why would I be interested in why did you have a lumpectomy then mastectomy when that doesn’t pertain to me as I had a BMX from the get go and that topic was last active in 2015; and you were grasping at straws on the false negative sentinel node biopsy last active in 2018. It’s like someone is throwing a dart at a board of topics you think I would be interested in reading. This ranks right up there with your I’ll themed fundraiser a few Octobers ago.

Moderators, you don't seem to be listening to what any of us are trying to tell you and insist on pushing forward with something that "will take a little bit of time for the system to learn." I don't care what it learns or how long it takes, WE DON'T WANT IT. It's intrusive, unnecessary, and not helpful in any way. I totally agree with MinusTwo, I scan the active pages for newbies and try to answer if I feel I have some information or encouragement to provide them. The vague link recommendation being provided by BCO lead them to the top of the thread that might be 1000s of posts long. What possible good would that be to anyone??? What possible benefits would BCO gain by discouraging long time members by continuing to push and pay for changes in the website no one wants? It certainly discourages me from thinking of donating. Please listen and drop these changes.

I do thank you for listening and removing the intrusive Copy and Link buttons on each post. Each thread is less crowded and reads so much easier.
