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

Well, I was pleasantly surprised to see I was still logged on from earlier today, and I didn't have to go through several moves to get to the active topics. Getting to a thread is still slow, but not quite as bad as it's been. But that could be due to less traffic from the people who have given up no longer being on board. Time will tell.

I’ve only been active for 6 years with most of the posts lost in the Thin Slices of Joy topic. Certainly not an inactive topic, but admittedly those posts aren’t interesting to most people.

I suspect the loss came from a data type error on migration.

I will stop giving you grief about the lost data. Mainly because I’m afraid of what will happen if your tech team tries to fix it.

Isn't there a way to archive old posts so they're not lost and could still be searched by users? Have them in a "read-only" area?

Moderators, you say you "only" deleted old political threads. Since I don't post there, where did about 800 of my old posts go? Are they lost or deleted? Wow!!! to delete any posts without checking with the original poster or announcing you're going to do this just demonstrates again how little BCO seems to respect its members!!! Please, be accountable, responsible, and respectful.

Noticing that the "Active Topics" list keeps growing. It used to display only the past 24 hours, and now it looks longer because it's displaying everything since the threads went back online this week. Are 15 posts per page going to become the norm, and will it continue to display longer lists of current active posts?

One issue I continue having is not being able to open My Topics. It defaults to application error/site down/content not available.

*** Edited to correct that I’m not able to open My Favorites.

Just reiterating what a disappointment this has all been. I had thought that BCO was a much more sophisticated organization, than they have turned out to be. I had yet to donate, but I was considering doing so more and more strongly over the last couple of years, as this discussion forum had been so hugely helpful during the worst times of having cancer so far. There are other organizations that I do donate to, because they were helpful during the worst parts of my treatment, including a local radio station. After this tech fiasco, however, I cannot see at this point that I could ever donate to BCO. What gets done with the money they receive appears to be highly questionable.

Additionally, I will be more cautious about what information I post about myself in the future, if this mess ever gets fixed. I had been hesitant to post my stats for a variety of reasons, so never have, but now I know I will definitely never post my stats nor will I ever upload any medical information. The safety and security of this site is highly questionable and I see no reason to believe that BCO has a reliable technology/security team or system working for them. If things ever get to where they work smoothly again, I will appreciate participating on the discussion boards again, but that will be about all.

The parts of this system that are supposedly working now are still nothing but black and white with a splash of red here and there. I have started noticing that all sorts of websites are now using this black/white/dash of red format, so it looks like the latest trendy generic thing. It makes it difficult to believe that the new format was tailored to people specifically dealing with breast cancer and treatment side effects. This is nothing but a one size fits all design. I have also yet to see where anything about this site (current being fixed discussion board excluded) that is new or improved or more informative, etc. than the old one. The discussion board is the heart and soul of this site and things like articles are not all that worthwhile or relevant on here. I continue to see and wonder why there seems to be such a disconnect between the BCO board and the members.

And please, please, please get rid of those creepy logos!

Yes, Mods, I’m pretty much always accessing the forum on my iPad Air.

My dx is very public IRL, so it doesn't bother me to have it listed here and itcan be helpful to others. As far as letting anyone on bco access my medical records goes, I can't even imagine why anyone thought that might be a good idea.

I haven't even tried to update my profile. I just get a blank screen when I go into treatments. I agree that it's very useful information and have no concerns with folks seeing my longggg treatment history. I just feel a bit guilty at how much space I take up in the page!

I think some of the posts were lost or deleted on theFeedback on the New Format thread. I’m not sure if that was accidental or intentional.

On the old site, I could see a list of all my posts in the account area. Either I can’t find that option or it no longer exists. The My Account page is still blank for me except for some gray rectangles.
