I'm not sure what makes this new forum so uncomfortable but I just don't feel the love anymore. There's something detached about this site and I suspect others feel the same way. I seldom see any of the veteran posters posting any longer.

I see fewer topics started and even then the topics have few replies which devalues the site altogether.

What happened to the "Trending Topics" on the right side of the screen. And the blogs? Now I see very old topics with no reply. Why reply to a topic or a question posted 4 months ago?

And it does seem like many of the forum members who relied on an IPhone app or a Samsung app have now wandered away or just can't navigate this site any longer.

Sorry, I'm just venting. I see other WLS forum members crossing over and most are polite but seems like occasionally a new sleever or RNY'r pops in and posts some nonsense about the band. I'm sure it's the same on their forums where a Bandster posts some ill informed advice or information regarding surgery they know little about. This format seems to encourage this where the old format seemed to have a wall that most people respected.

I'm done. Just sad to see an old friend(LBT) retire and be taken over by a new social media brat.

Thank you, Alex. I changed my surgery type there but still only see band stuff in the current tab. I even logged out and back in but still band. Any other ideas to try?

Mmmmm....I need to research your issue further. In the interim I set you to see all content. You can edit this manually in "Filter by forum" option found on the bottom right of the New Content screen.

Yes, the site is starting to feel more like LBT. I'm not the most patient person, which came through in some of my initial posts after the switch over. But I'm so glad Alex and his team have ironed out many of the issues.

......am just gonna go color in the corner......

Could you please try to color inside the lines this time and please don't eat the green crayons.

LOL!!

dont encourage tmf.......he gets in trouble enough on his own,.

Hi Alex, I'm on my iPad -- cannot creat a new post from here. Can comment, so I've been doing that as much as possible for snowballing, etc. I tried the iPad app for Bariatric Pal and had to go back to the web for the regular version because on the iPad I couldn't make the text big enough -- can't stretch it to be able to see. I did go to fonts and made that as big as possible but iPad users are always going to want to swipe, enlarge, make smaller, etc. Couldn't do that via the app. Hope that helps! Also if I click the link for reporting problems, it comes up with a weird lime about visiting the URL where I already am.

Thanks for all YOUR hard work perseverance and patience. Can't imagine the back end of something like this. I am newly banded, a LB Talk member since June. I learned so much here and really appreciate all the of the people contributing. I think there is frustration with the sorting -- all the old stuff and trending topics so old, etc. Best wishes!

Hey Bandista.. can i just say one word for your troubles.... "IPAD"... lol sorry so not a fan of apple and all the hype that company generates.. i feel like we should just chant we are Borg you will be assimilated....

I totally agree, and I have an iMac - lol! I switched from a PC three years ago, and now run a virtual PC on the Mac to run my business (accounting). I do have to say that I've never gotten a virus, spyware or malware, but when this computer dies, I'm going back to a PC. Even if I have to replace the PC every three years, it's still so much cheaper than getting another Mac.

I always say……Apple people are drinking some sort of Kool-Aid. Their products aren't crap, but they certainly don't fulfill all the hype. And now, with Steve Jobs out of the picture, it will be interesting to see if they keep up. Just MHO.

I love my iPad -- please love me anyway. Shall I confess to having Apple TV and an iPhone? Love my Apple products but who the hell cares what you use?

id love to see if any of my friends aka support system are on.....as of now, i only see the listing

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. That's a mistake on our end! I'll have this fixed within the next day or so.

Raises hand, another iPad and iPhone lover here! And, as soon as I can afford it, I will dispose of this old PC laptop and go for a Mac!!!!

There are a couple of things that drive me nuts about the apps. First, when I get a notification that there are replies in a thread it would be nice if the app took me directly there. Second, the html in posts on the app. It is such a pain reading around and sifting through all of the code. Yikes!!!!

I feel ya! Your sentiments are mirroring my own

Ditto!!!!!
