I got up this morning and went through my usual steps on my laptop to log on to our DS PTSD site and had trouble right off the bat.
Then overcoming that, when I got here the physical format of the website had changed, even the colors of some things. Another was knowing where to click to get back to a vertical list of the titles of DS PTSD posts. I've always used that so I could get an overview in chronological order from top to bottom from most recent to older posts.
I'm getting used to it, but it's taking some adjustment so I wanted to ask. I want to know so as CL I can report back to DS about it.
Did anybody else have my experience with change and the website, too?

My day...today...misplaced my debit card...didn't realize it until I got to the register after shopping to a full cart. Used a different debit card and pulled apart everything looking for missing debit card before I left parking lot. Got home, dropped keys. So now I have a missing debit card, missing keys. A full cartload to unload and put away. I got everything put away.Dumped purse for a...

Welcome to the Perseid meteor showers, the "biggies" usually every year. (The Leonids beat 'em one year IMHO).AND today much of the northern hemisphere will see 5 to 99% solar eclipse. How cool is that? Your best bet is to be in the UK or norhtern Spain, where totality is excellent before sundown. Me, I'll get a super duper tiny itty bitty slice of it, so little that it won't be noticeable. New...

Yeah, very different. Smaller font size...I'm not sure that I like that.
I do like the FAQ and resources on the banner of DS before you log in. (And wish that they could stay on top?...maybe too crowded.
Two things I don't like.
1) My original FIRST request...which is that navigation to the last page/post be at the bottom AND top of each thread.
2) For this site...the original post seems to blend in with the replies...it's awkward.
What I do like are the very much smaller banners.
I know, though, I had confusion, too. With navigation, where banners are and what size they and fonts are. Thanks for letting me know how it is for y'all, too.
Also, I've had an issue with the light, light gray from the beginning. That's worse now. It would help to have darker lines surrounding the posts.
I've long been hoping that they would actually bring ads back (because I can't see how they can run the site without them), but the ad directly under the banner is annoying (although that's how it is on virtually every other webside...so I don't see that changing).
Good morning all.

Thanks for the observations, everybody. I collected them into a post and posted them on the CL group for all DS staff and CL's to see our feedback on the changes.

Thanks for the offer Muji, but I'd rather post my issues myself.
(One of my major issues is actually going through a CL or through anyone to have my voice heard. It's not personal. But think about it. If someone had a CL on ignore...and DS's policy was to go through CL's to get one's voice heard...then the member themselves would be ignored by DS...)

I'm even having trouble reading post because,when a person posts, the same word will be layered thre or so times. It makes it fuzzy and hard to read. Another thing is that the print is smaller!! I HATE THIS!!!!
I have REALLY bad eyesight and wear glasses. Even with my glasses on it's hard to read!!
So, the combination of the layering of words and small print is making my eyes burn and hurt!!
I SERIOUSLY wish they'd go back to the old format!!!!
