I've reported three spammers, two formatting errors, and it's just Day One. Oh boy! On the other hand, they took their time rolling this out, when we needed nothing but better servers, not a better "look", so.... Let them be swamped. There's a little arrow facing down by posts. You can report them from there, but be aware, you as usual need to have the thread opened in one tab while you report it in another so you can get the username and link if necessary to the offending thread. Wahck a Troll! My favorite sport early in th emorning!

Hello. Not sure if this is going to even post. I had to change my password yet again, and I don't see my avatar. This is only a test.

These little round avis are harder to see by far. Your test succeeded, Ida!

Ok, fixed my avatar....again. Anyway, so good to see you again, Leo. Sorry for you losing your journals and such. I was able to keep my account. How I did it, I don't know.

I have been busy 2 days in a row, and I'm exhausted. God is going to water my flowers today, so that makes me very happy. I have to buy hubby some hearing aid batteries....and the rest of the day, I doing nothing. Take care.

My paragraphs, did not paragraph.

Good morning Leo and idajoy. I had to change my password three times already too. I did send message to DS but never heard back. I am new but still confused on the site. Was trying to play around last night but was in too much pain and frustrated. Realized that I forgot to take my morning pills yesterday so I figured that is why my pain was so bad yesterday ugh. Hope you both have a good day with less pain thats what I am hoping for.

Oh and Leo it said I had to messages from you on my post from yesterday but I only see one so if you did reply again I can not see anything sorry.

Hi. lop. I had to change my password this morning as well. So every time I log on, I have to do this. So aggravating.

Yes Idajoy I tried to log in this morning and had to do it three times and finally it took. I don't understand it I wrote everything down because I do tend to forget things but used it and did not work. I think this is causing more stress than our conditions wow

I HATE this new format! I also had to change password to get on, AGAIN. This is so frustrating. When I'm feeling low, I like to get on and read about everybody but this takes so much aggravating effort that I seriously am considering only getting on to check in. But then I'd miss posts from blue and twinmom who are in different time zones. Now I have to pay close attention to the names, where before the avatars were clear enough I used those. I woke in so much pain this morning, I didn't need this aggravation. I just wanted to say hi. Boo hoo. I'm not one to usually complain and I'm usually easy going enough to just roll with things but this new site is awful. Leo I agree, we only needed a better server not this ugly mess. So I hope everyone's day goes well. A busy one for me. When will I get a solo rest day?!

@ Lotsofpain and Idajoy: I've bee having the same problem with needing to reset my password every time I want to log in. The strange thing is: the website doesn't even care if I change it to the exact same password every time. Clearly working marvellously. I sent a message about it to DS as well.


Also reported a spam bot, which is needlessly obtuse. I wish I could just flag a post or member as suspicious, but ah well.


Been trying lately to up my regular exercise again, but I'm too impatient, as always. I just want to be able to buckle down and force through the progress by just exercising for an hour or two a day. The slow build-up needed to sustain exercise drives me mad, not to mention the typical routine of "one step forward, two steps back."


Wishing all a good day. Try not to strangle DS.


Edit: I tried to edit this post to add more spaces to it and create paragraphs, but it doesn't actually seem to take it if I update my post after the fact.

So Leo I took your advice and submitted a complaint. They'll likely do nothing, saying we will get used to it. Not good.

Good morning friends,
Luckily I did not have to reset my password, but I still hate the new format. I don't like how we can't do paragraphs and address each of our friends. Now it will look like one big messy post. Leo, thanks for the check-in! It isn't the same w/o you.

Idajoy, I'm glad you can get on, but so sorry about the password reset and avatar problems. Bear had a lot of problems yesterday too.

Bobbii, This site is not easier and I'm not one to complain about these things either, but DS is a big part of our new life and what we look forward to each day. This doesn't simplify things at all. It was much better before. They could have just changed some colors up and formatting on the old version if they wanted a new look. This sucks!

sonya, I make myself workout each day and it is hard when we hurt so much. I have to do it grandma style most days, but the point is to keep your body moving and not to train for a marathon. Just keep up the hard work and try to be patient with yourself. We all go through it.

I hope everyone has a good day and likes this update more than me.

So far I have told them that they had a Philadelphia lawyer designed this site & then had the Supreme Court rule on it. Then in my next complaint I said that the person must have worked for the federal government before they joined DS & finally I suggested that that person be fired. So you can see what I think of this current site. Even asked them what we needed to do in order to get our old "user friendly' site back. No reply on that second one but I did get a political double talk reply on the first one. LOL

This old pain ridden techno retard senior citizen does not need the aggravation that this new site is creating in my life. I think all of us are in agreement about how bad this new site is. Like Leo said keep complaining to DS about this horrible new site.

Bobbii, I just hope we all get used to it, and continue on as we were. Sorry you are in so much pain, and just generally feeling crummy. These teeny avatars will be hard to see on my iphone for sure. I haven't been able to get logged on there yet. I refuse to change my password for every place I read DS. So I'm just using my laptop until they get this fixed. I pray you feel better soon, Bobbii.
