Topic: Announcing Forum Upgrades!

Its been over six years since we've launched our forums. During this time it has seen thousands of fresh faces, greetings, meetings, partings, arguments, kind words, life transformations, cathartic rants, and simply happy time pass. It has been with us throughout this time, silently observing and facilitating. But like any wise old man, its bones were getting old. Its joints were aching, and it has been needing a new jolt of energy.

A Mobile World
Did you know that over 30% of you visit our website using a mobile device? For those who do visit us via mobile, we owe you a sincere apology, because our forums have been horrendous on a mobile browser. But the big news is that things are about to change! Our new forums are completely mobile friendly and compatible with iPhone, Android, and pretty much any other modern smart phone.

Each post, topic, and forum shows up beautifully, with the full set of features, and in nice large font. See the screenshots for yourself.

You dont have do anything different, just browse to the forums like you normally would. This means that you can finally put these away:



Not Just for Mobile
The interface on your desktop browser has also been cleaned up a great deal. There is now less clutter on the page, and the overall experience is a lot cleaner. Check out some more screenshots here!



You will notice that each post no longer has 400 buttons below it. Only the buttons that are relevant to each post show up, making your screen space a lot less cluttered. Also, when you reply to another person's post, the entire post is indented inside, making it a lot easier to figure out who has replied to whom.

Launching soon! Maybe as early as next week! Maybe.
And do remember that this is not in any way a be-all-end-all when it comes to the forums. We are in the process of constantly learning and improving upon what we have, and this is just one step along the way.

Stay tuned for the changes! We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this.

Hi Leslie! Congrats on your surgery! Yes, please join us :)

I was thinking the same thing, as far as comparing notes and progress.  I will look around the site a little more to find out how we could best manage our group! Sounds great to me.

Hello,  I also had surgery on 8-27.  I would like to ask how everyone is doing and will you add me to your surgery group.  I would like to have a couple of people to be able to chat with and "compare notes" so to speak.  Please let me know how to add you as friends on here also as I have not figured out much about this site yet.

Thanks,
Leslie

 Hey, thanks for checking in....You're back to work already? Please don't overdo it. I am going back on the 12th, so I didn't take much time off either. I sit down behind three monitors for ten hours a day, so I think I will me fine. I will definitely take breaks to walk, and my desk does raise, allowing me to stand while working....

So, I take it that you are off of all of your pain meds? I stopped taking mine about 2 days ago so at least can drive now :) my surgeons plan requires me to start pureed food on the second week so that's what I am doing. I also ready to eat normally (but of course in smaller quantities) again. Keep us posted on your progress!!
