Myasthenia Gravis Support Group

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular disease leading to fluctuating muscle weakness and fatiguability. The hallmark of myasthenia gravis is muscle weakness that increases during periods of activity and improves after periods of rest.

you can't see anything at a glance-- only two discussions fit on the page-- it's like a novice website person got a hold of this. I'll be back when it's more user friendly. Mg is hard enough without struggling to navigate and read!

I have kind of figured out how to use it, but not so easy. There is just a little slit on the page where you make your reply, at least on my screen, so you have to scroll up and down to see what you are writing. Heaven forbid that there should not be plenty of room on the screen for all the ads. It's definitely not user friendly.

What happened is that they decided to make it more accessible to smart phones.

I can't imagine that a lot of anybody on DailyStrength are looking for support while they are out running around, using their smart phones. Smart phones imply mobility ; when I am looking to receive/provide support, I am sitting on my favorite couch with my laptop in front of me, but that's just me. This was a bad move on DS's part, and I only come here occasionally now. I have lost part of my family, but am grateful for the amount of knowledge I have acquired from all of you. I feel bad for all of the newcomers though (they arrive almost daily it seems), for it is clear to me that they will unfortunately not receive the welcome that I rec'd.

So sad.

I feel just the same !!! I will come back an use if it comes back more like the old format. Liked being able to see more than two post per page.

There are really good mg discussion groups at neurotalk.org and mdjunction.com. Hope to see u there, where many of us have migrated over.

I found that on my desktop I could stretch the reply box larger by clicking and dragging the lower right corner. Doesn't seem to show on my tablet unfortunately. I don't think they understand how hard it is to type a reply when you have brain fog and can't see more than a line or two!

I've given them some direct advice and they've now made fonts bigger and discussion titles more bold. That might have reduced the number of posts per screen. I certainly liked the table format from the old site showing the date of the last post. It does seem like a student programmer designed it!
