This New Site

[Shazam 517]

Originally, I liked the idea. But now, not so sure. I can't find certain threads, and barely see old friends.

I love change and I'm still not digging it. I feel like everything is hidden somewhere and I'm not finding it.

The phone app is basically the same and that's what I generally use.... I was too impatient to navigate the new website

Agreed.

Shazam, me too. I miss the old ways.

Even the phone app sucks, IMO. It's too full of stuff. I wish you could set preferences so I can weed out the band & bypass stuff. It's frustrating to get into a thread then find out it doesn't apply to me because it's a different surgery! For those who want to see everything, great. For the rest of us - overload. This change is not for the better.

What a great suggestion- we need some kind of filtering option over here Alex!

They are working on fixing it.

I'm fairly new to the site and use both mobile and iPad and would love to see the "unfollow" option at the side of each thread. I'm getting hundreds of emails and it's just not easy for me to "learn all the tricks" right now. I imagine other new users are having the same problem.

Filtering will be arriving shortly. We're listening to your feedback and are planning updates and changes accordingly.

The Unsubscribe from thread option is currently available via the mobile apps. Click the top right option button to access. Alternatively, you can unsubscribe from individual threads via the unsubscribe from topic link at the bottom of every email.

You can stop receiving emails. Just open one of the emails and scroll to the bottom. There's an option to opt OUT of getting an email every time someone posts under a topic you're subscribed to. I did it!!

Ps.... I rarely come here now, as opposed to before the change, when I used to LIVE in here. Now, maybe every 10th day I peek in

Are there any updates to this? It looks like I still do not have the option to not see all the surgery types in forums. I liked just seeing VSG stuff & the community I had gotten to know. With all the other stuff thrown in I have to scroll forever to see what I want. I get that some people want to see everything, but some of us don't. Would be nice to have the option. I've pretty much stopped using the site because I mainly access it from my phone & it's just gotten too hard to use. Does anyone know of any other VSG-specific sites?

If you open your settings by clicking the gear next to your name at the top of the website (not the app), you can set your surgery type. Then by default you will only see the forums related to your surgery when you click "Current Content" in the website or the app. You can also filter the forums on the website so you can see exactly the forums you want.
