Well!!! I seem to remember some ancient Popeye cartoon – in which Olive Oyl – when asked what she thought about Popeye replied,
“Uhmmmm. He’s LARGE!?” Guess that’s where I am with THE NEW AND IMPROVED FORUM at the moment.
My thoughts and questions:
I have asked the powers that be if our profiles and pics will be returning. They are checking. Clearly, some of us have very long histories and it is more than a little work to replace them.
Badges. I know some MPIP peeps were fans of these. But, “remission”?????? Unfortunately, that’s not a term applied to melanoma. The “powers” will be changing the “remission” badge to “NED”. So that’s good. As for me, I’m waiting for the day we can click on a “CURED” badge!!! Right?
The return of the ‘word’ style typing tools will be nice. We had them for many years – then a couple years ago they disappeared with no warning – never to return – until today.
Busy. Twitter/FaceBook lite – is it??????? Or in the words of our wise mouse – New Coke? Coke Zero? BAHAHA! Whatever it is. C’est la vie. We will get used to it. Small bit of irony for this roll out…. It seems that the last two days that this current iteration of MPIP posts reaches back to, was the time of a website update as well. Check out these posts by some of my gang back in the good old days/albeit dark ages of melanoma – Jag, Charlie S, Yawn – https://forum.melanoma.org/recent-topics/page/1186/
Pages for different categories of posts may help some find what they seek. Though most of us learn from the whole. The search button seems to work better than before, so that is nice.
What do you melanoma peeps think of it????????????????
What ev. We will adapt. That is something all melanoma peeps and their loved ones are good at. No matter the “format”, this forum is filled with smart, caring, melanoma wise peeps. We are individuals, gathered here as a team, with a common cause and determination. No web design boxed us in before and it won’t now!!! Love and hugs to all of you. les
