Yep, it used to be easy to see in the top box, but it's gone now. You now have to go to "My Shortcuts" and click on the pull down menu to Hep Social side. Funny how it lays right over the ad so you just might accidentally click that.
Keep posting comments either here or on the social side to make sure medhelp doesn't think everyone is content with the changes. Their unwillingness to share their "plan" or "timeline" for a fix is concerning. Their need to continue to review the data is a "let's wait and see" approach.
Until then, I have no desire to post, just to give constructive criticism on improving the format of the forum. I hope other will do the same. Following is the link to the social side in case some can't find it.

"The link used to be on top, now one must scroll down to look for it. "
Why does 7-11 keep the milk and beer in the back of the store?
Change the background color and extend the amount of post on each page by double and it wouldn't be as bad.
I've been a member here for a few years. I have always found this site and the people on it to be the best. My problem with the new format is that it coincides with my new treatment so can't tell if the change is good or bad, since nothing is making much sense two weeks into tx
As time goes on I guess we will get used to this new format?...or will find one that suits us better
I wish you all the best and hope that you will all stay around in some form or fashion as you are all needed very much.
Take care

Look on the right hand margin; "Related forums"
The link used to be on top, now one must scroll down to look for it.
Instead of being at the top of the page it has been moved essentially off screen. You must scroll down to look for it.
It's the third box down.
It's right under the completely empty box entitled "Med Help Answers"
Gritting teeth and trying not to write something flip.....

There is a thread in Hep Social if you want to add new concerns to it.
How do you get there from here?
Hey guys -
There is a thread in Hep Social if you want to add new concerns to it. Please keep your concerns on that side. I've also been updating it as I learn more about changes.
Thanks!

Hiya both of you....
I see the adds have gone, you can always bet the threat of defecting to the Nomads will get you what you want...LOL.....
I can't see the ads any longer the IT department has them all blocked by sonic wall something or other.........yowza!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice to see you pixie!
pix...nice to see you..thought you may drop in :)l

There does seem alot of advertising on this forum I am completely lost and I have SVR many years ago, there's been no thought t Jake things easier for those on tx....pix
Where i work and with other things i have been involved with when there are big changes the company gives us what i call "talking points".
The give us a couple week thing is always used because they figure people will just adjust and quit their complaining.
A word to medhelp, it don't always work!!!
Maybe its time for someone higher up at medhelp to speak out.
When I first heard about Nomad I asked what it was. Now I am one!
Thanks:) this place is running so slow and the color, etc, etc. just seems like it's the rite time to explore a few more other sites, something I haven't done before because it's been so good here, till now. :(

LOL! I changed my answer back and forth not knowing.... made me feel so blond! plz don't laugh too hard! I answered yes!
Hahaha so what did you answer????
I googled Nomads and just finished getting registered. But what is that question in the registration asking if you're a human or robot? lol I'll be curious to see the format at Nomads once I've received access after my accounts activated..... anyone else a member on this site?
maggie
What's Nomads is that another site????? I'll google it.....
The funny thing is they probably actually paid someone to destroy the site. It happens often with on line forums, that's why not many seem to be around forever. If your going to improve something make sure it's an improvement and not just an obnoxious change because someone needs a paycheck and has no clue what they are really doing. What I'm doing is just inlarging the screen and it blocks allot of the ads makes the lettering bigge so I can read the forum better. I hate to start losing some of the best people we have on here. Won't be any reason to come back.
Med help should know that I never look at their ads"
I agree I have never looked at one and some of them are obviously snake skin stuff which we try so hard to tell people to avoid. Really sad.
I'll be cutting my time here significantly.
I'm just not at all comfortable with this format.
Maybe newcomers will be fine with it but I find it terrible.
