Just venting...
Ok so is everyone else looking at the new set up? I dont like it. lol I like the stuff on the right side but not the way the messages are. I just thought I would share that. lol :) Ok now I will try to answer some Q's and issues.
Hi,
We've been getting your feedback on the new look and feel and wanted to explain a few things that will hopefully eliminate some of the confusion.
- The right hand column - Some of you have noticed that the right hand column changes size if you are logged in. When logged in, the panel is much skinnier to provide more room to read the posts. The reason we've added the right hand side is to give us a place to add more features to our forums. Already, the "Tag Cloud" is there to help drill down onto specific terms. We also have the "Recent Activity" which I'll talk about more below. We have a lot of things coming, like tools to help track Pregnancy progress and Health News Feeds. The new look and feel is just the first step in what will be a lot of great new features.
- Recent Activity - This will give members much more visibility into what other members of the community are doing. New Journals, comments, even mood changes will all be listed here to highlight what is changing. Right now, it's mostly people joining, but in the communities that made the switch already, we've received very positive feedback about this once it really gets going.
- Seeing who commented: At the top of the forum, beside the drop down to sort by "Date Started" or "Last Post", there is a check box called "Expand Replies". If you click that, you will see who has replied to each post, just like the old format. Based on your feedback, this weekend we'll be setting "expanded" to the default.
- Clicking on a "comment link" will now bring you directly to that comment, no need to scroll down anymore. Someone was asking about that.
- On the left hand side, there is now a "My Shortcuts" box. Hovering over that will show a drop down of the Communities you are watching or have joined so you can navigate quicker.
We do appreciate the feedback and we are reviewing it all. Please feel free to keep it coming and thank you for helping out.

i like the idea of members info including pics are visible but I think the previous version was more encouraging to read and respond to questions...
i hate this setup i like it the way it was but what can we do.
Hey..that worked pretty nice! lol Thanks!
I don't like it much either but I think if you hit "expand" where it says replies on the right hand side, it's a little better.
I really dont like it either. Its just not the same!
