New look coming - this is from the MH leaders

Question

Just wanted to give you a heads up that MedHelp will be introducing a new design for the support communities. When you visit MedHelp on Tuesday, September 13th, all of the 300+ communities will sport a new, simpler design with less clutter, more emphasis on questions and answers, and a sleeker, more enjoyable experience within each community. 

In addition to the new design, there will be a few new features: 

Questions & Answers will be easier to find. Located closer to the top of the page, it will be easier to find information and join in the conversation. 

Featured Articles are more prominently displayed to keep you informed on news and topics related to each community. 

Next & Previous Buttons Speed Navigation from one discussion to another within a community using the next and previous buttons, located at the top and bottom of every post. 

Hopefully, the changes will give you a better — and better looking! — experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback once the new design is live, please feel free to drop MedHelp a note in the MedHelp Suggestions Community

Sorry, what I mean is that if you start using the "next" button and then click "back to forum," it takes you back to the first page, even if you were reading posts on page 3 or whatever.

Nancy T · Answer

The "next post" button is also not that great because if you use it and then want to go back to the page you were on, instead it takes you back to the FIRST page of the forum.

I do not see a Medhelp Suggestions community anywhere. Not that it makes any difference. I gave them my feedback about removing the first couple of lines of posts a long time ago when they started trying out the new format. Am I the only one who finds this extremely disappointing?

Nancy T · Answer

I totally hate it because you can't see the first few lines of posts anymore, to give you an idea what it's about. Who has time to open each post to see if you want to read it? and subject lines are not always helpful.

This format will definitely make me use this forum MUCH less, if at all anymore.

Fewer annoying pull-down pop up windows?  That would be great - right now I have to move my mouse around quickly to keep from activating a window.

for now the new look is only for people to see when they are logged out - it is the look that people will see first if they use google or another search engine and get directed to MH. The new look for logged in members will roll out soon, but they haven't given a date.
