Reporting forum feedback and technical issues

Why private message? If several hundred members are having the same issue, do you really want to get hundreds of messages on the same problem?

I can't sign in on my phone, which is what I've always used for BCO. I've tried several times and it looks like i'm in, but when i get to a forum page, it tells me I'm new and need to register. So I'm on my computer now, which is horrible for me because i can barely see the screen and keyboard due to eye problems. 😡

i cannot navigate this latest BCO Maze, but i managed to send a message to the Moderators. So i hope the Mods can help me to stop getting every and any post on the Older Than 60 With Breast Cancer thread sent to my private email address. This new site is NOT intuitive and seems to have even more steps than the last platform to do anything and get anywhere. Sorry, but i am all out of patience with BCO. I am not a technie and i hate unnecessary learning curves.

Is there a way to ignore certain sections of the forum? For example, when I want to see Active Posts, I don't want to see all the Games threads. On the old forum it was easy to ignore sections we have no interest in.

Also, I don't see an "up arrow" to take me to the top of the thread. Will this be added or do we have to scroll back up each time? Thanks.

And I see that my username is still in lower case. Can I correct it to "LW422?"

Testing 1, 2

The post signature page just brings me back to active topics page and says I'm not logged in. Still reading though

Beesie - Thank you so very much for all that you have contributed to this board over the years. I found your posts very informative and helpful. I totally understand why you are leaving, but want you to know that you will be sorely missed by many.

Oh, Wrenn - I am so sorry to see you leave, but as with Beesie, I totally understand. Along with many other things, that threat business caused this to be an unsafe place for sick and/or dying people to express their thoughts without fear. Many of these sick and/or dying people are under tremendous chronic stress, and have to take drugs that alter their moods and cause things like irritability and anger. They may not always say things in the politest of terms, but their voices should matter. There should be knowledge and understanding of the situation so many members are in, by those who make the threats. I am going to try to hang in here a bit longer, because I am now stage 4 and am so appreciating the help and support I've been getting from other members. I will see how things go, but I doubt that I will be as active as I was in the past. I'm just so sorry for so many of you who've been chased away.

Last month I used the BCO discussion forum while at an appointment to look up a date of a procedure I had years ago. Couldn't do that now because I can't log in using my phone or tablet. I'm using my laptop which I didn't plan on opening on my day off! 🤬

This new site has many new problems as well as old. The navigation seems to be even worse. While my old avatar is showing here under a new name. It's missing in the original username (with caps!) like it is for others. So we've lost not only the people who have died, but their avatars and their posts???

I don't have the time or energy to see what else is wrong. I'm a techie, and it shouldn't be this hard to navigate a forum.

BCO still hasn't learned to listen to its forum users. Pretending you care doesn't work on me.

It is just frustrating to come back here, so I'm finding my joy elsewhere.

AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PREVIEW OPTION AND VIDEO LINKS???

OK, I like the edit option.

I joined BCO after having had a rare ovarian cancer followed by a rare breast condition, LCIS. If you search BCO now for LCIS, there are only SIX hits. I was very active on the boards, often reassuring newbies. i had upwards of 8000 posts. After the conversion I have only 64. ALL of my private messages are gone. I have also been a business analyst, often working on large systems conversions. There were so many signs here warning of how messed up this was going to be. WEEKS added to anticipated deadlines boded very poorly on your CONVERTING twenty years worth of data. Well, clearly you didn’t, did you? What happened to all the data that is missing?

Question, is “Bookmarks” the same as the previous favorites? If so, why does it show that I have 60 some odd bookmarks when only 8 are listed? I don’t think I’ve ever had 60+ threads favorited or bookmarked. The count did go down when I un ticked the little red ribbon but still shows, numerically, over 60 but there are nowhere near that number visible to me.

Like others, I also find myself logged out much too often. I would prefer to have to sign in max once per day.

Like spookiesmom, I find the new organization of Active Topics in the menu bar, favorites on the RHS and search tool in the banner confusing and awkward to access. Can they all be in the menu bar?

On the plus side, the layout (on a laptop) is much improved (from the last incarnation, not the original). I like the addition of the positive reaction buttons. Creating and editing post functionality is also improved.

I wish more color would be added back since the banner (lovely though it is) gets scrolled offscreen immediately, and I'm left in a sea of white and gray with patches of black and red.
