Title: Terrible website!
Post by: Loretta on February 13, 2019, 07:54:29 AM
What a terrible forum this is. It's completely confusing and difficult to use. I didn't get one single helpful answer to my question. I'm leaving.

Hi Loretta, I've just searched your post and you have had 2 helpful replies, sorry if you've missed them.

You began your thread yesterday  :-\  - we are World wide so threads may take a while to pop up and my 'unread posts since last visit' rarely shows, I have to scroll through  ::)

You sound menopausal?

Many sites are confusing until 1 becomes used to them.  But 'terrible' is really harsh - tell us more about yourself in your mirena thread and do use the search box.

My unread posts that used to appear at the top disappeared a couple of weeks ago sp I have to remember to use the notify option so I get an email.  Apart from that the site is fine when you get used to like anything.

Hi loretta. I didn't see the post either.
We usually give new ladies a very warm welcome so sorry you missed out on that.
But it's not too late...so welcome to the forum.
 :welcomemm:
I don't have any experience of the coil but I see you have some replies.

I still get "Show unread posts" and "Show replies to my posts". I usually look there first.

Try a different Browser.

I usually use Chrome, which is fine.  However on Microsoft Edge the 'Unread Posts' etc., are missing.

Never saw it either,such a shame she feels negatively about site.think she's gone☹️
Title: Re: Terrible website!
Post by: CLKD on February 13, 2019, 04:13:58 PM
She's not 'black' so is probably lurking.  I have sent a PM to her.  Some are so impatient forgetting that we are here for a reason.  Menopause .......

Take care.

If I see something that hasn't had a response I try to but in - but to call the website terrible isn't necessary.  We are here .......
Title: Re: Terrible website!
Post by: racjen on February 13, 2019, 07:04:20 PM
I must admit, I only tend to look at the 'all things menopause' and 'personal experiences' posts, I don't check all the threads that have appeared since I last logged in. Since this one was in the 'new member' section I missed it - must try harder!

I think the website is brilliant and so are all you ladies. Wish you all lived in my village! xx

Haha DQ that's barely worth thinking about 🤣😂 the website IS brilliant,it's helped 1000s of women,it's also not THAT difficult to navigate your way round,even for a technophobe like me

Post by: Emerald2017 on February 13, 2019, 10:14:28 PM
I find the site very helpful and supportive!
Sorry that you don't feel that way but I think that it is better to give more time before any conclusions!

This website has been a lifesaver for me and I'm not exaggerating xx

It's been a massive help to me these last couple of years.

Well Ive only joined and I too think it is a great forum.  Just wondering Emerald2017 - are you from Ireland by any chance?

Hi Nightmare! No, I am not from Ireland!😘

Pity that the initiator of the thread doesn't return - makes one wonder actually!  Shall I get Emma to shut the thread?
Title: Re: Terrible website!
Post by: jaypo on February 15, 2019, 04:11:21 PM
I doubt she's coming back clkd 😟
Title: Re: Terrible website!
Post by: CLKD on February 15, 2019, 04:59:33 PM
I hope that she is lurking ....... give it 24 hours then I'll have a word with Emma.

BUT WE'RE ALL REALLY NICE!!! How could anybody NOT like us 😂
Title: Re: Terrible website!
Post by: CLKD on February 15, 2019, 07:38:26 PM
We even talk about menopause.   Sometimes  :D.  And as for the old woman  :-X  ;)
Title: Re: Terrible website!
Post by: jaypo on February 15, 2019, 07:40:23 PM
Menopause?what menopause?IS THIS A MENOPAUSE SITE??😂
Title: Re: Terrible website!
Post by: CLKD on February 15, 2019, 07:41:58 PM
Maybe  :whist:

See if you R lurking we ain't half bad  ;)
Title: Re: Terrible website!
Post by: racjen on February 15, 2019, 07:43:26 PM
I wouldn't bother guys, she's gone - I hate to say it but I think there's a very small number of people who come onto the web looking for a fight, and if you're already menopausal you may have a very short fuse....
Title: Re: Terrible website!
Post by: CLKD on February 15, 2019, 07:44:14 PM
She's not in black though  :-\ her threads still show ..... hey ho!
Title: Re: Terrible website!
Post by: jaypo on February 15, 2019, 08:00:35 PM
Oh well we tried,thing is,you always get a laugh somewhere,I've been so cheered up by my virtual pals when some days I feel rubbish.thank you girls😊

I do have to say that all of the replies here have been understanding, caring, and helpful. Not one person has reacted negatively or responded with a "bye then!" type comment, which I think is a great reflection of just how good the site actually is.  :)
Title: Re: Terrible website!
Post by: CLKD on February 17, 2019, 04:15:53 PM
 :thankyou:  sometimes lurkers troll such sites in order to get a reaction  ::)

I suspect you may be right Racjen x

Post by: Vieja Bruja on February 22, 2019, 04:58:52 PM
I love to check in from time to time, generally it's when I have an issue or a question to ask, I should really visit more often but hey-ho, I know I'm not going to be judged

I find the forum easy to navigate, and find the 'show replies to your posts' and 'show unread posts since last visit' really useful

Keep up the good work people xxx

I wish my "show replies / unread posts" options would re appear.  They disappeared a few weeks ago never to be seen again!
