Hi Folks,

Here’s what we're going to be working on for the next site update:

- Clicking the “load more” button when viewing group members will be fixed.

- The size of the text box where you enter a reply will be increased.

- Content in the newsfeed will display the name of the support group the content was posted in.

- Journal entries will have real dates. Ex: 09/07/2016 instead of “yesterday”.

- The font size for the text that appears in the boxes where you compose a discussion or journal entry will be increased.

- The font size and color of the text when searching the site will be easier to view.

- The Community Leader badge will be changed from a check mark to the letters “CL”.

- Special characters will be displayed properly in the newsfeed.

- Content that has been deleted will no longer show up in the notification drawer.

The two items listed below were originally scheduled to go out in the last site update (2.2.0) will now be going out in this next release:

- You will be able to add photos to journals and discussion posts.

- There will be improvements to the tool used to upload avatars and cover photos (i.e. image cropping!).

We’ll post again when we have a estimation of when the site release will go out.

This is great and much appreciated but I really really wish y'all could make it where member group founders could ' group message' the members. I have a football group and I usually use that feature ALOT ... I really really wish that feature would be available again.
Thanks again for continuing to make things better.

Can you PLEASE add a 2nd navigation bar to the top of the reply list?? (1page, 2page, last)...this will cut down SIGNIFICANTLY on the amount of scrolling that I have to do, and ease the PAIN in my poor fingers.

Please?? Pretty please?? ***I promise to clean my room.***

I hardly ever do Journals anymore. How about having photo albums to put our pics in like you had on the old DS?

MarleneJ 09/08/2016

I agree with LMT - group messages. But also adding or deleting an admin, or changing founders. And knowing who is banned and who has left the group, like it used to be. (Oh, and being able to ban people in the member groups) Just like it was before!

Thanks in advance!

TY so much... xo

WHEN will you be addressing the CUMBERSOME and (and yes, PAINFUL) navigation?

Re: the search feature, what good will the improvements do if the search results don't appear in any kind of order (which they don't!)?

astridzenith 09/08/2016

I'm wondering if there's any explanation of exactly what the search feature is actually expected to provide, compared to what it does now, which I can't figure out at all.

2magicman 09/09/2016

What about adding photo's to our profile page like we did on the old DS like I requsted several times before.

LuvMyTitans 09/09/2016

Marlene, I want all of that in my group too. I just had the ' group messaging' on the brain after sending out about 30 personal hugs to give out some info. *sigh*
I'll even clean Patti's room if we can get that back and like Patti said, the reply pages.. my good golly the amount of scrolling is ridiculous. Not to say I don't appreciate the positive changes, because I do, so thanks. I also wish we had our photo albums back. I had alot of photos and am really bummed they didn't migrate. okay, I'll stop now...

MyTrueColors 09/09/2016

AMEN to the amount of scrolling being ridiculous!!!

mlr0853 09/09/2016

Could a change be made in the 'sign in', save e-mail address, and then just type in password? Since I joined recently, I don't know of the past set up. Perhaps to resolve the scrolling issue, post by most recent response, then if wanted, one can scroll down to read other posts. Thank you for this support system at DS! Take care, ML

Doo 09/09/2016

Thank you very much.
I hope at some point within a post they will show last reply first (I see ml also wrote this) . It is especially difficult to scroll on a mobile device. I am also hoping at some point more posts will be visible on group discussion page, right now we only see one post before we have to scroll to see the next. My ultimate wish is to see 15 titles before we have to scroll at all.

Doo 09/09/2016

I know i have asked and not sure it will happen. You have made some changes to what shows on our activity page but I am hoping we can have more options as the user (check boxes of options as to what we show or do not show - friends-ds embers-public)

Journals: It would be great if we had a feature of what friends we share our journals with. Maybe a drop down list to select friends to share with or something? I ask because our groups are quite varied. Some friends may be in a group such as sexual abuse while others may be in an easier going group that do not need or want to see some of the details. There is also the issue of some adult members having younger members on their friends list who may not be fit to see some of the journals we write and the entries could be very triggering. I understand that might be a bigger undertaking and there is a lot in the pot but i wanted to throw the idea around in hopes it is something you could do in the future. Thanks for reading

To the web developers: I want you to try this experiment. Get a roll of Scotch tape. You're right handed? Ok, I want you to VERY tightly wrap and wrap and wrap and wrap the tape around your right hand. Make sure those fingers are very tightly together. Make sure you cannot bend any of the fingers. If you can, you haven't wrapped tightly enough.

Now, with your mouse in your right hand, try scrolling. Try navigating.

Hmmmmm, having trouble?

Welcome to my world. Maybe now you understand how difficult it is for those of us with arthritis........
