Hi Folks!
The site will receive an update tomorrow (December 7th) morning. Here is what will be in the update:
- When you create a group the visibility options will now say “Public” and “Unlisted”, instead of “Private” and “Unlisted”.
- Other member’s content from unlisted groups will no longer show up in the posts you may be interested in area.
- Multiple changes to the navigation menus at the top of the page, as well as to the cover photos on group and profile pages.
- In the A-Z section of the Support Groups directory page you will now see all support groups, instead of just the support groups that begin with a specific letter from the alphabet that you have clicked on.
- There will also be other minor adjustments to the look and feel of the site.
We’ll post again tomorrow after the site has been updated.
We hope everyone is having a great week!

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.

You eliminated who wrote the last reply on posts in which now it's even harder to keep track of. Each time you "update" you make it less and less personal for those of us who need that. Daily strength was such a positive, caring and personal place when I first started and now it's turned into just a way for you to make more money...what a shame!
I feel like I lost a friend
Now when I go to "Support Groups" a menu briefly flashes up which has "My support groups" but it then to "Support Groups by Category". So I can no longer easily go from one of my boards to another.
As far as I can tell the A-Z is no different.
1) Center the title of the Threads...over the Threads (rather than centered in the page).
2) More differentiation between the threads and ads.
3) Repeating the title of the group, under the banner...is unnecessary.
4) FAQ and Crisis added to all of the top banners? And not just the non-logged in page? I understand that that might be a bit crowded...so maybe just the Crisis link?
5) And my FIRST request from the site change...
Please, please allow for navigation within a thread at the top of the thread as well as at the bottom. That way I don't have to scroll down to the bottom to see the last/most recent post to a long thread.
The Community Groups Link no longer works.
(I'm not sure how to describe it. Half of the pill shaped link...that lights up in DailyStrength colored blue.)

You don't need a second title underneath the banner. It is a waste of screen real estate.
The search, mail and log in/ out icon is now too small for touchscreen use.
The only good this about this change is that adblock plus doesn't allow me to see the giant ads! Thank goodness for that!
Instead of showing unnecessary (in the higher scheme of things here) happy or sad faces on the avatars, couldn't you focus on FIXING things like the email alert options, having a photo section, having a sizable journal when writing, giving us the option to SORT our FRIENDS list, TIME stamping posts everywhere, somehow alerting us when people make comments on friends journals (like you USED to before the new platform) AND PLEASE!! an actual working search feature? (These are just a few of the ongoing issues with this so-called platform.) And HTH do we navigate back to the activity feed from various locations (like a friend's jounal, a thread in a group, our own journal? I finally figured it out, but seriously, it takes more effort and unnecessary movement to get to the activity feed than it used to. And, how would a new member know where to go?
Also, the GIANT photos in the groups list only causes MORE HARM because we have to scroll further which adds to and/or causes Repetitive Motion Injury (so much for 'do no harm'). Can't you just have a simple list of groups withOUT pictures that don't even have any connection to the group at all?
Remember not everyone does ds on their phones or tablets. Many of us still use computers. This is obviously NOT designed for the latter.
And please...dump the "posts you may be interested in." They are literally a pain.
Also, hugs are not going through. I went to a friends profile to see what theirs looked like and happened to see they hugged me but I never got it.
or click on the name of the board that's under the advertisements that are under the banner.
(If you click on "Current Events" it will take you to that group of boards.) From there you can go to the Community Groups which are attached to that board...although those are cluttered up with boards that aren't in use anymore.)
