Hemochromatosis Support Group

Hemochromatosis is a hereditary disease characterized by improper processing by the body of dietary iron which causes iron to accumulate in a number of body tissues, eventually causing organ dysfunction. It is the main iron overload disorder. Hemochromatosis is notorious for having symptoms that are often initially misattributed to other diseases.

Am I the only one who is finding this site very hard to use and navigate now thaat it has been changed?

I am struggling to find the list of current posts.

Hi stevewmarsh,

I think the new site is awful. I can see only a list of 3 posts - not all of the posts since I last looked.

The banners at the top and bottom of the page and the ads down the right hand side take up most of the screen.

I did give feedback while the site was being set up but no changes seemed to have been made - actually it is worse.

I can see only 2 lines of my reply to you, not the whole thing at once so it is difficult to edit.

I think the new site is truly dreadful.

I agree the new site is not user friendly at all. The menu bars at the top are too thick so a lot of screen space is lost, the colours seem uninviting and it feels like a low quality Wordpress template.

This site is horrible. I used to love to come here to read and seek encouragement. Now, I'm feeling alone again...

I agree. I just logged on after many months and it is terrible. But then again I hate change

I find it difficult to read and navigate. I have learnt a lot about using it but still don't prefer it to the old site. Hang in there though. We need your input.

Hi all,

I did provide feedback to DS in the pilot phase of the new website and received a message thanking me for this and asking for perseverance while issues are further rectified so it is apparent that the new website is still being worked on.

I replied to the message re-iterating my list of current difficulties. Let's hope the website improves.

Hi I used to log onto the site most days to check for updates and information, with the new site I now log in infrequently probably about once a month.
The new site is awful, it is not user friendly, I work in IT and I struggle to navigate around it or find anything.
The old site was great and so easy to use

I'm not on a lot of forums but this one is the worse in regards to format and presentation. The previous layout was more standard and easier to navigate. Many of the health conditions discussed on this site have "brain fog" as a symptom and all we need is added difficulty in finding recent and past posts.

Hi everyone,

I have had a bit of a break from this site as it is still just too hard to view and navigate. There have been some improvements but it is still very difficult which makes it off-putting.

It is a shame because I have appreciate the contact about this condition - I have never met anyone else who has it (or who has known that they have it) and I am in contact with a lot of people at my workplace.
