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

Mods - I still cannot successfully edit the new private message notification to "on" in settings. I have tried over the last few weeks thinking some revision would allow it, but no go. Thank you for adding to the list to address.

Just an observation/suggestion for the All Topics section. It would be helpful if the "Announcements" were all removed and placed in a section specifically for announcements. A new member trying to get to the discussion forum will undoubtedly be put off by having to scroll for pages to actually get to the topic listing. Then, the topic listing is spread out in a ridiculous manner. It would be much more intuitive and user-friendly to have the topics listed in the old standard forum layout. I really HATE all the empty white space that serves NO PURPOSE other than to annoy the user. Who actually thinks that is a good idea, or that it looks good to have so much empty space?? Sometimes an "upgrade" is far from an improvement.

I sent my post about glitches and submitted it but it vanished.

I'll try again

I have suddenly been changed to TNBC! WTF!!?? I went into my profile and made sure it said HER2+. I am unsure of my ER/PR so I have never posted it. This was my fourth attempt. Log in, edit to correct it, log out. I left the BCO site entirely between edits. And what is that bracket at end?

Is that what that is Moth? I have the brackets as well but don't think I ever specified how it was determined. I'm just going with patience on the diagnosis bit as there is no way for me to edit (I get a screen with blank boxes) and, unfortunately, all chemo regimens show as "Other" now. Hopefully that will be fixed soon.

ceanna, I think this is the new normal because there are not many new posts.

Mods, I'm not sure why you'd be having problems with loading speed on the threads. You have a white page with limited text and no graphics!! What kind of servers are you using? What is the tech team telling you? These endless, unresolved problems are mind boggling!

I just really do not understand why BCO would change their site to a new site that is barely functional. The old site was user-friendly, intuitive, had no lag time, easy to use and was a healthy environment for breast cancer patients and caregivers. You are now using a never-ending problematic site that is total discouragING for your users. I am out of patience. There should not be all these many continuing technical problems if the IT people are experienced and educated. It should not take this much time to get the site working as well as the old site worked. This is not worth the money you are spending to TRY to make this site workable. I am really discouraged.

Mods - I applied the workaround to private messaging notifications and yes indeed I do now see that email notification is on when I look at the private message screen. However, on the settings page, the email notification for private message still says "off"

Just an FYI.

Was trying to post here an hour ago but lost the post to a "site down" error. I'll try again, but copy the post before I click "submit" so I don't have to retype in case it's down again!

Mods, not sure why it would be faster to display only 10 instead of the current 15 on the "active topics" pages--microseconds, at best! The servers could handle 30 in past so don't know why is tech team having problems now!

I could support moving to a 48 hour window for active topics listings. I try to scan list for newcomers but don't always get on these boards every day and have no way of finding newcomers if their posts drop after 24 hours. The traffic, even before this fiasco, was down. The active lists would only be about 40 active threads per day and about 60 currently in the past 48 hours. That should be doable if the tech team gets this discussion board working.

Still waiting for accountability, explanation, and apology from BCO leadership and board. Why wasn't this working before being launched on March 1, and now DAY 31!!!!!

I decided to count how many steps it took after opening the site to be able to make this comment. ELEVEN. 1. Click to disable useless message overlaying home page. 2. Click menu bars to find log in. 3. Click log in. 4. Click name spot to enable autofill. 5. Click saved autofill name and password. 6. Click name spot again to activate. 7. Click enter. Back to home page, 8. click menu. 9. Click active topics. Scroll to this thread, 10. click. Wait wait wait for it to open but at least my finger can rest. FINALLY opens. Read threads, 11. click to start this reply.

MODS: HOW IS THIS IN ANY WAY "USER FRIENDLY?"

Oh, I notice some messages are in bold. How'd you do that? I only have italic and line-through listed on my tool bar as an option. I'm on the same Android phone I've been using all along, so I know it's not a user or equipment failure. Guess it's just one more new and improved FUBAR.

The fact that people are still bothering to try logging in to a website that clearly is not functioning and after a month likely never will is a testament to the loyalty the members have to each other and to the topic of breast cancer in general.

I remember how much these members helped me in the beginning and it is a shame that so few new people are able to have that experience now.

I can't imagine any other website still having anyone bothering to post after a month of this nonsense with nothing more than a "noted. yep. going to tell the tech team" for 31 days. It is shameful and heartless. Yes. We get it. You are trying. blah blah blah.

Now will try a few times to post this.

Well, well, look what ad just showed up on my Facebook feed. Interesting to see where BCO is putting its tech efforts. I don't see a disclaimer that the site might not be working.
