I don't care for this new set-up that you've just changed to.  It is harder to navigate through and scan through to the previous posts, etc.  I wish it could go back to the way it was, it worked better.

IMHO.

What do you have against heppers????????

The new version stinks, especially in comparison with the original format, which was so simple and user-friendly.

I've also been trying to start a new post, and every time I try, my internet browser crashes.  It's happened about 8 times now in a row.  I don't want to "piggy-back" but I just might have to.

The way the forum was a year ago was just fine, although I do like the idea of our personal profiles.  This is just too difficult to read, probably because it entails way too much scrolling.

I don't care for this at all.  Very hard on the eyes and just plain annoying!

Thanks for trying, but it's bad.

Wow, what a surprise!  Just thought I'd check in and see how everyone was doing, but I'm having a dificult time navigating.

At least this seems to have brought us all out of our shells, LOL.

Well, let me see if I can figure things out and read a little bit, then I'll post again.  Hi to everyone in the meantime.

  Thank you for attempting to work with our issue's.

All.....the above changes sound like it will help with our complaints, tho I also like the old forum, simplicity, let's give them some time to fix and/or tweek the new look.

Tho my take still is....can't we have the 'old look' with some of the changes  :} ??

Oh, and for those of us who are stuck with DIALUP, this is a big waste of time.....

I need my sunglasses; this is giving me a headache!

Haven't been here for a while and thought I'd check in this morning... I thought I hit the wrong bookmark.

* We have already reduced the size of the right handHand or foot spasms
Hand tremor column if you are logged in.
----------------------------------

Do we really need a column on the right side?

Thank you

Hi,

First off, we'd like to thank all of you that have provided feedback regarding the new look and feel at MedHelp. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us and we take it seriously.

We received feedback mainly in regards to two areas: 1)The new look is harder to read, in particular when on the site for an extended period of time and 2) The new look is too cluttered

In response to this, we've already made a few changes and we're working hard to build several others. Here is what we are doing:

Harder to Read:

* We will be adding a background color to the discussions to reduce the glare while reading
* We will add a new setting so that you can chose the size of the text in the discussions.
* We will be increasing the size of the discussion title.
* We will be changing the date format back to the old format, but keeping the time stamp.

Too Cluttered:

* We have already reduced the size of the right hand column if you are logged in.
* We have already changed the forum so that replies are listed by default, just like the old design.
* We have changed the order of replies so that the newer replies are now on top.
* We will be expanding the "preview text" in the forum so that it stretches more.

Regarding to the new right hand column, over the coming weeks and months we will be rolling out a lot of new features that will leverage this column. This way we won't need to keep modifying the forum panel every time we want to roll out new functionality. Please bear with us as we believe you will see the value as we start rolling out more features.

We hope these changes will address all of the key issues that have been raised. Our members are what make MedHelp the best health community on the web and your feedback is what allows us to become even better. Keep it coming and thank you.
