New Catagories

I don't like them. I never notice or pay attention to them and I don't think they are used like they should be anyway, I mean I've seen a lot of posts that should have gone in the new catagories lists. I guess I dodn't like changes, but you can't tell when someone has added to one of those topics ya know? But, guess I'll have to get use to it:) Just wondering if I was the only one that felt this way.

You know, I was thinking about this also. I looked all over the board and discovered that very few topics are strictly focused on Fibro the illness and its treatments. I was thinking that the bottom board would be better used for all of the other things we like to talk about....members, ideas, debates, suggestions, thoughts for the day, like that. And the top section could be used strictly for Fibro...descriptions, symptoms, specific questions about the illness, treatments, etc.

But I agree with you, the way things are set up now, the top areas are not used for what they were intended by most people, so they are sort of a waste.

However, it may be that we are all so used to doing things a certain way, that it will take time for evryone to change and use the top section as intended.

yea but the main thing is you can't tell when someone replys to a topic until you click on it. that's mainly what I don't like.

I like the fun and games but forget to check the others. I hope the newbies aren't getting missed. I can't see why that and treatments needed to be separate.

Kelee, yes :)

As for the treatments, that is such a big topic of discussion normally on the main list that I don't see why it was split off. I fear, as others have said, that things are being missed, maybe by the people who need them most - the newbies.

Those of us who have been around for a while know to hack around and look for things, but those who come to the site now may be missing good information that they need.
