** You may notice some changes here... **

Still not logging in correctly, having to re-login every time and drowning in notifications from "subscriptions" for threads I have no contact with or interest in, so have taken David's advice and cleared the lot!

It would help if we knew what the changes were supposed to do and how to work with them, just bunging in a load of new titles like "subscriptions" that do I don't know what! (Other then losing all the threads I was contributing to in a maze of "stuff" about comps' and bens' or questions about answers to level 5).

There seem to be a load of new options/directions but not a word of what they do (or are supposed to), and I totally disagree with the new up/down  "like/dislike" choice. If I don't agree with something someone has posed I can and should offer my own opinion or confront theirs with explanation of mine, not just simply "dislike" what they have said. That is how animosity and Trolling starts and on a professional site I do not find that at all acceptable.

I now feel completely out of place and uncomfortable even trying to pick my way onto the site, never mind contributing to it. If this is the direction we are going, then maybe it really is time I let go and left you all to it. I have always advocated change as a dynamic progress, not a series of step-changes to struggle over and I think this time the bewildering step is just to high for the old dinosaur's legs. I contribute here to offer back what I can to our profession, not to feel out of place and deluged with random comments and unsolicited material, or to spend hours trying to find, or offer, some comment or submission I have an interest in or might usefully contribute to.

Disappointing. Sorry.

Hi Peter - there't a lot there fior us to digest, and I think the voting up/down sits uncomfortably with us, too and I think we will chnage it. To be fair, we're trialling this new functionality in this Group only. All the other groups remain the same.

I'm confused you've been deluged with notifications as we have turned these off completely for the time being. You should not have received a single email notification.

The increase in point size when composing posts will be pushed through to this live site in the next day or so.

I'll be posting about the login workaround... but we hope to have this fixed shortly, too.

FYI, I'm receiving widget notifications for this thread only.
