WHEN I LOGGED IN TODAY THERE WAS A MESSAGE FROM DS ASKING IF I WOULD PREVIEW THE NEW WEBSITE AND LET THEM KNOW IF I LIKED IT. SO FAR I DO NOT!

I FOUND IT CONFUSING RATHER THAN EASIER. SO I'M WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAS GONE THERE AND WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF IT.

THEY SAY THAT ALL OF OUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND SUPPORT GROUPS WILL BE MOVED OVER BY THE TIME THE SITE IS UP AND RUNNING SO MAYBE ONCE MY GROUPS ARE THERE WHERE I CAN SEE THEM SO THERE IS SOMETHING THERE I RECOGNIZE, IT WILL BE EASIER TO FIND MY WAY AROUND.

I'M WILLING TO GIVE IT A TRY, BUT IF IT STAYS LOOKING LIKE THE PREVIEW PAGE I'M NOT GOING TO LIKE IT AT ALL.

I DONT SEE A DIFFERENCE. MAYBE I AM IN WRONG PLACE HERE.

WHEN YOU FIRST LOG IN TO DS YOU WILL BE ON THE OLD SITE, TO GET TO THE NEW ONE AND PREVIEW IT YOU HAVE TO GO TO YOUR MESSAGES AND OPEN THE ONE FROM DS TEAM. IN THERE YOU WILL FIND A LINK TO CLICK ON SO YOU CAN GO REVIEW THE NEW SITE.

ON THE NEW SITE THERE ARE A LOT MORE NEGITIVE COMMENTS THAN GOOD ONES. MOST PPL DO NOT LIKE THE NEW LOOK AND FIND IT VERY HARD TO FIND THEIR WAY AROUND IN IT. AND I AGREE WITH THEM.

ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE, THE DS TEAM IS NOT DONE WORKING ON IT. THEY ONLY ASKED FOR OUR FEEDBACK SO THEY WOULD KNOW HOW TO IMPROVE ON IT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I FOUND MOST FRUSTRATING WAS THE TYPE. A LOT OF IT IS IN SUCH A PALE GRAY FONT THAT EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN LARGE PRINT IT IS NEARLY INVISABLE TO ME. THEY NEED TO DARKEN IT DOWN QUITE A BIT FOR THOSE OF US WITH BAD EYESIGHT.

DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR PASSWORD AS I HAVE FORGOTTEN MINE AGES AGO.I ALSO HAVE DELETED THAT EMAIL OH BOY

crazyladydeb 06/04/2016

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'LL NEED TO REMEMBER YOUR PASSWORD OR NOT, BUT I DON'T THINK SO. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOG IN THE SAME AS YOU DO NOW. BUT IF YOU WANT TO PLAY IT SAFE YOU CAN GO THROUGH THE STEPS TO RETRIEV YOUR PASSWORD OR CHANGE IT NOW AND THEN WRITE IT DOWN SO YOU'LL HAVE IT IF NEEDED.

USING GOOGLE CHROME I CAN GO INTO ADVANCED SETTINGS AND MANAGE PASSWORDS TO FIND ANY PASSWORD THAT I'VE SAVED. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE OTHER SEARCH ENGINES HAVE THAT FEATURE OR NOT.

DO YOU GAVE WINDOWS TEN?

crazyladydeb 06/05/2016

UNFORTUNATELY YES I DO. I LIKED WINDOWS 8 MUCH BETTER.

starbright1949 06/05/2016

I WDONT SEE MUCH DIFFERENCE UNLESS I JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO USE IT. I HAVE THAT WOMAN TURNED OFF AS CANT HEAR HER ANYWAYS.

crazyladydeb 06/09/2016

THE FIRST THING I DID WAS TURN HER OFF. SHE WAS OF NO HELP TO ME AND WOULDN'T SHUT UP. LOL

starbright1949 06/09/2016

YES MAAM I DID THE SAME THING. SHE CLDNT HELP ME IF SHE REALLY TRIED. KEPT TELLING HER I WAS DEAF THINKING MAYBE SHE WLD TYPE HER RESPONSES ...NO LUCK THERE.

WELL I JUST LOOKED AT THE NEW PREVIEW SITE FOR DS AND I'M NOT HAPPY. ONE OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT I READ WAS THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE OUT OUR PERSONAL INFORMATION INCLUDING CREDIT CARD INFORMATION TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE NEW SITE.
.
D.S.'S RESPONSE TO THAT QUESTION WAS VAGUE AND INCOMPLETE. THEY ADMITTED THAT PERSONAL INFORMATION LIKE CREDIT CARDS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR USE OF PARTS OF THE SITE LIKE "SHARE CARE" WHAT EVER THAT IS. I RESPONDED TO THAT SUBJECT BY SAYING THAT I DO NOT COME TO DS TO SHOP SO IF THAT INFORMATION IS REQUIRED THEN THEY HAVE LOST ME AS A MEMBER. I HAVE NO INTENTION OF GIVING MY PERSONAL INFORMATION OR PAYING TO USE THIS SERVICE. SO IF I STOP COMEING IN ONCE THE SITE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY MOVED THAT IS WHY.

ONCE THAT HAPPENS Y'ALL CAN CONTACT ME AT MY EMAIL ADDRESS IF YOU WANT TO STAY CONNECTED.
