I like the options for journals, private groups and hugs. I have not seen that in forums I was previously in.

The other real positive is that I have multiple illnesses, and I don't have to sign out of each group and into another. They are all easily accessed from my profile, so I can jump back and forth, depending on what is the worst issue for the day, or where I need or can offer support.

I would like a "like" button sometimes. But maybe that is just a habit.

I disagree with categorizing some of the things going on as 'comparatively minor'.

But that's as much complaining as I'll do here, since you're asking for the bright side of things!!!!

DS is without doubt, hands down, the best 'social' site that I've ever come across!!!
Not just for Bipolar Disorder, which is the main thing *I'M* here for, but for almost everything that one might come here for!!!
The majority of people are extremely kind, supportive, and helpful!!!!
I've never found another site with a more welcoming atmosphere!!!!

I know we just praised WV to the high Heavens not too long ago, but by gum, you asked which people make this a great place in cyberspace and he's got to be right up there at the top of the list, so I'm mentioning him again!!!

There's lots of things right on DS, it is easy to use and find way around, its good people give feed back when things are not quite right and that Admin listen to fix the problem/s. That's what I call great communications.

Have a great weekend all.

And of course always great to give feedback when things are right.

Thank you DS Admin for all you do.

Totally agree with you. Went to sites claiming to be 'similar' (mdjunction; patientslikeme etc) but they totally suck. Nothing like DS. Love you DS! Rock on!!!!

Agreed....whatever technical problems that we have, It is still one of the best support sites available.

@LilEllie You put it together so well

What's great is that the quality of the people here more than make up for the minor technical problems. This is a wonderful people place!
