Slow website

Is it just me, or are others finding the website really slow recently, especially when trying to submit a comment? I am not sure, but I think it may have been since the routine maintenance yesterday. Ann

website

I used to use this website a fair bit and at that point had no problems with it. I gave up on this new one fairly quickly. Just thought I'd try again and I still find it much more difficult than the old one. Sorry but I'm giving up again. Sarcath

I agree with sarcath, particularly as regards the forums. When I first came on here (in 2008) it was so easy to find posts on what you were interested in, but now it's like a needle in a haystack. And I HATE the pink everywhere, it's SO distracting.

Hi I've been using this website for the last 2 weeks while I've been waiting for my first appointment and I am so glad that I found it. Being able to talk to other ladies who have been in the same position as me and hearing their advice and info has ...

Ditto to all that has been said. I wish I had found it nearer to the time when I had been dx. Also the team on the help line have had infinite patience and time when I have phoned with queries. Love to all. Jackie

Is there anyway to see if a message has been read by the person it is sent to or if a particular has been on forum if they haven't posted.

Another solution for knowing that PMs are there, is for the OPTION to have the message come into your email INBOX - or at the very least a message to say you have a PM waiting. Sorry if Ive missed this facility. Maybe possible to do that but keep i...

I agree, photos are good. The ability to embed them into a comment/thread would be good. The way I have worked around it is by adding photos to an album on Photobucket or Flickr and then posting a link to the slideshow view of the album here.
