Widows & Widowers Support Group
This community is dedicated to those who have lost a husband, wife, or partner. Anything is open for discussion here, with the hope that we can focus on grief, bereavement, life after loss, and continuing on after a great loss.
Hi All,
One of the things that was discussed in the conference call with DS, which goes to a lot of the complaints here, was the formatting of the new site. We were told that the new site has been designed and optimized for viewing on a mobile device - i.e., cell phones - as that is how most of the users are using the site. Personally, I doubt that very much, but I have nothing but my own experiences to draw upon. I don't look at this site on a phone - I started on a desktop computer and use a laptop now. When I travel, I use a tablet. I am 59 which means tiny print is hard for me without my reading glasses, and arthritis in my hands makes all that thumb-scrolling not a good idea. But maybe I am in the minority on these things. If you wouldn't mind answering the following, it would help me figure out if it's just me that has these problems, or whether I need to take that back to TeamDS.
What type of device are you using to come to Daily Strength?
A. Cell phone/mobile phone
B. Tablet or iPad
C. Desktop or Laptop computer
Which age group are you in?
A. Under 30
B. 31-45
C. 46-65
D. 66+
I don't normally ask for this kind of info, but I feel it would help me understand better, and I would pass this on to TeamDS so they understand US better.
Thanks,
Martha, co-Community Leader

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
I'm not liking this new format, either. So, to take your poll:
1. B & C (I use my desktop and my tablet for my DS communications)
2. D (66+)
I'm 64, joined DS when I was 62. I access this site on a desktop computer. I would not ever want to do this much reading and writing on a cell phone! . . . arthritis and weakening eyesight make desktop viewing a must. Thanks for taking the time to gather this information from our members.
Sincerely,
Bandi
