Saharah Blue Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I was hoping that viewing and navigating your own blog would be back to a format where it was before. It is really helpful to be able to scroll down and see how your moods have been shifting through the week etc.... this is the main function I use on the site for my own self awareness. Since people with BPD are encouraged in T to keep a mood diary, I would think its function would seem obvious? The columns and the hidden previews are not just off-putting and frustrating, they actually zig-zag by date/time, not even a standard journal format, like reading a newspaper. Standard western culture reads from left to right in a paragraph fashion. Can we possibly go back to this? Sah Other than that, It is nice to have upgrades but not at the cost of functionality, I think that has been a big trend in software design in recent years. So, thank you for the upgrades too. piuma and Benway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I have enabled the reputation system. This allows users to rate how useful or not they have found others. I think this will us all with how we are expereinced by others. I know this may not be taken well right now but I would like to give it a go for some time. aurorablues and Roses 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autism-bpd Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 If I am honest with you, I got a bit of a headache when i just entered the forum to find all these changes. I dont do very well with change unexpected to last minute. but it looks good Benway, Joshua, sarabpd and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benway Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Link Sharing Easily share links from your community to Facebook, Twitter, and more. Great way to drive traffic to your community! This i find worrying, as Piuma also said. yes i have used fb, but upon further thought and a little research i am extremely suspicious of facebook. Its owner, Mark Zuckerberg is in his 30's, and was offered 1bn dollars for it a while back. He refused to sell. I wonder why. -Maybe its the all the data - mining stats available from millions of ppl worldwide- slightly scary. A lot of members post quite personal stuff here. A lot of members do not want all and sundry reading their posts which they have written trusting they will be only shared with other forum members. maybe some ppl might be interested in this link about facebook - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT322GiT5lw&feature=related Or this i found quite interesting as well : Report: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Doesn’t Believe In Privacy Read More http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/04/report-facebook-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-doesnt-believe-in-privacy/#ixzz0nIWtX8nr I would not post anything on facebook i didnt mind if the WHOLE WORLD knew about me. Advertisers, Government, my mother, my ex partner who i am in a custody case with. My ~(future)~ employer. Even those quizzes- "What kind of criminal are you"- etc- you know the type- are you really sure you want to share that info with the whole world. Mark Zucherberg does not believe in privacy- see links above. That worries me. I am very very suspicious of these buttons that have appeared on this site re: Twitter, FB, Digg, etc. I come here for support with some intensely private issues. If they were not so private to me, i'd post them on my facebook wall, using my full real name. My sons use facebook. My 2 ex partners who i do NOT want to share any info with by any means!!!, both use facebook. Can anybody make sence of the privacy settings on FB. If you can, fair play to you- no matter how long i tweaked with my priv. settings, I could not change some things from popping up - which i am not ready to share with my kids, ex, etc. After finding out these facts i was worried, and closed my fb account about 3 weeks ago. I normally do not venture into the city, but had no choice last week, and while waiting around for 2 hours to be recalled into family law court in the afternoon i had a coffee in an outdoor part of a cafe on a busy Street. By total coincidence, (i don't believe in 'coincidence, i believe in fate, or timely warnings...) I met a guy i was in school with , he used to be a landscape gardener, but with the boom economy he decided to do a Private investegator course, then became an apprentice to a PI. Yes, very James Bond. I was talking about tracing birthparents with him, but most work he does is about extra marital affairs, and spouses checking up on their exes pasts. As well as Companies checking up on potential or current employees. The co. he works for also investigate insurance fraud. I was facinated, especially when he said the net is his first port of call. With those games on fb, many ppl will friend you just so you will send them a "gift" regularly on farmville, vamp wars etc. This is called a 'social hack', there are also a few "industry hacks" on how to access ppls fb pages, status, friends, etc. He wouldnt elaborate as he had to go. But i was glad i'd spoken to him, In the past few months ive been deleting my fb acc, then re-opening it to talk with some of you guys. Needless to say, i will not be re-joining fb. And a fb logo below posts scares the shit out of me. "Being paranoid is simply knowing all the facts"- W. Burroughs. I think its very true. I am definitely going to be more conservative about posting personal information, or even views if there is a FB logo underneath! Take care and be safe, Kitteh. x sanctuary, toaster, marc-74 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 love the mobile skin... will comment on the rest later... Ty josh xxx sanctuary and Benway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Posted May 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I removed link sharing, I also agree that this really doesent seem the place for them. I may reconsider this but for now my initial thoughts are we can do without them. piuma, toaster and sanctuary 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brokenbutterfly Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I would like an iPhone friendly option these are very easy and would make using here quicker. The mobile friendly option is dated!! So please consider bringing it into the realms of 21st century like all the rest of the forum. iPhone users are millions of people.. I happen to be one!

boobsticle Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) I used my iPod Touch to browse it and was perfectly satisfied with the mobile version, it's very good compared with some forums' mobile software.

Brokenbutterfly Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 There are easy to install iPhone plugins that I feel would enhance the browse why should I settle for no pictures or graphics when these things are do freely used on other forums...

boobsticle Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) If you don't like the iPhone version, don't use it. No one other than you so far has complained about it, actually a lot of people were commending the mobile version. Why should Joshua foot the bill for something entirely non-compulsory when he does so much for us already? beggars can't be choosers.

Brokenbutterfly Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 That's what I'm saying there is no iPhone option. They are free.. Unlike alot of other plugins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
