Find support with others who have gone through a traumatic experience. Whether you have chronic or acute PTSD, we are here for you.
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?

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
The site now looks to me like many of the other new sites. All the topics little and to the left. The font is smaller and harder to read for me. LOL Lilmissy, me too!! I think they did this so that they could make the banners smaller as a lot of people had requested and so that they could fit more ad's and important information to the right of the topics. It also allowed them to fit more topics on one page, as people were asking for. I am not sure it is what people were thinking of when asking for this change lol. I LOVE that they have a pinned post at the top with important information like the old site. I do not think the link is working yet or it might take you to the post int he community board?
I wish they would have placed the FIND A DOCTOR at the right or bottom. I guess I will have to increase the size of my screen with the control + button. It seems it was formatted to mobile. I looked on my tablet and its a nice fit, other than the FIND A DOCTOR. The spacing between replies here got bigger too. Yuckky.
Ya Patti, I had hoped on a lot of these bigger threads the last post would be shown first and that when we do a journal the font be the same as this one with spell check. Hopefully it will come.
Other than the few things I do like I am really sad about the rest. I really hope they fix this, but I am glad we still have the site.
I imagine this will soon as well.....
It does make me feel good to see the ads.... xo
I never go there, it's not personal for me either, it's just that being on DS PTSD is all I have the time to handle on DS. I don't need to speak for you except that one of the CL's in the CL group complained about what you folks were saying over there in the Daily Strength Member's Group. That's when as CL I stuck up for you all sight unseen, saying to the other CL's that hey, those were my DS PTSD folks and they're speaking up because I know they care.
So please do keep on speaking up for yourself in your own voice everywhere on DS that you can since I'm not anywhere but here and in the CL group. And in that one and only CL place where you don't have a voice I'll speak up for y'all when need be.
Yeah, about the font. Geez, the font is so small that I'm having to really hit zoom up to way over 100% on my browser. Dooo, I'm glad you checked it out on a tablet, and it looks good. I'm guessing that means it looks good on a phone now, too.
That's a relief, because the whole point of the change over last year from the old site to the new site was to go from expecting DS to be viewed on laptops to being viewed on phones and tablets. This would mean another step toward accomplishing that whole point after all the trouble of the last year is being taken now.
Thanks for the tip about clicking on " PTSD Support Group" got me to the list. I'd found that by trial and error. It's great that something from the old site came back, as you say, Dooo, "I LOVE that they have a pinned post at the top with important information like the old site. " I want to know about how those hugs are working now.
So glad you like it, 2 Stars.
