Ok, I will say it! This "new" site sucks!!!! Reading the surveys and polls, it looks like the overwhelming majority feel the same. Who's pregnant idea was this anyway? There is no longer the comfort and intimacy that the old site offered. Many of us relied on this site to deal with this stinking journey and get us through another minute, hour, day etc. Now we can't find each other, many have left and the new members are being left out! I vote to go back to the old format! Anyone with me? Let the powers that be know! If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Hugs and Love to all, Michele

Hi barbarame, I understand your wanting to throw in the towel on this, but like rain, I want to say too how much your poems and insights have meant to me. I've only been a member here for a few months - and always looked forward to spotting a post or comment from you; like your avatar pic, they were beautiful, sparkling little gems, and were such a comfort to embrace. Will miss that & want to implore you to keep extending that to others who may need you more than you can know. But i understand, if you must move on.

Hello Michelle,
I am with you in expressing such a dislike for this new site. I really still can't navigate it very well. If you receive this message it will be a miracle.
How are you doing?

Michelle,
I just read a post from " A curious fish". DS community site. I have hung in here but you know? The Information, I've just read, just may be " The last straw that breaks the camel's back ". For me at least. Check it out if you haven't already .......Hugs Sandra

I am with you Sandra! This was suppose to be our safe place. I cannot see myself staying as I have already been involved with one forum that went out into the www, and I left disgusted, and when my husband died and had no local support groups of any kind and no family I came here. What a let down. I guess this is a good lesson is trust, don't. Hugs and blessings to all!

Maybe we need to go to their sponsors. I'm sure if it hits them in their wallet they'll listen. I thought this was a place to get help not make your problems worse.

I'm new, just found this website a week ago, and obviously you all feel strongly that this new site doesn't have some of the things that made this site special. Is there a person they should go to that would listen to their complaints and try to fix these problems? If so who would that be and how can they be contacted? Thanks, Sharon

Don't like it. Very confusing. I don't come here because I can't figure it out. I miss the support. I need the support. It's so frustrating.

Just as in our grief.. things will never be the same. I agree, the new format, sucks, but then again so does he last almost 2 years, that Ive endured without my rock/soulmate. I will say with change, Ive become braver, but skeptical at times. Maybe in time, they will start making it more user friendly. Much love to you michelle. carla

I find I don't log in as much and I find it most difficult to help the newbies. I really dislike the changes and wish they would make this more user friendly.
