ALZConnected Q&A Thread

The header says there are eight new posts but i can't scroll and can only see the one post before mine? Im on a Kindle. Doesn't happen on my laptop

This is not a Facebook page. I would suggest getting rid of the cakes and badges, the "like" and "care" and "insightful" markings. None of us want to be here except that we need the support and this is not a popularity contest. If someone wants to respond to a post, they can write a comment. But I feel sure that you won't do this, so I will just try to ignore.

Delete and edit function is needed. Sometimes we post things that we then want to retract and you should allow your members to have that option.

Please consider adding a small bar (visible at all times) to allow for font functions like bolding, underlining, font size.

The fact that bold disappears when return is hit is not good either.

Thank you for changing the font color, but it definitely needs to go a few more shades darker.

my profile shows that I have a certain number of points. What are points about?

Thanks Iris. I had over 800 people who were on my list. Many I spoke because I could look back on who sent me something. I am totally lost on how to reach out to these folks who I have helped in th past.

Iris, as to difference between general and caregiving parent boards, I think there really is none when it comes to the way the board is used currently and I don't think that will change. Even if they give specific guidelines I think people will still puzzle over which to use.

"Remembering those you have lost" is here, you can find it on the drop down menu when you hover over "Discussions" in the purple header at the top of the page.

The lightbulb means insightful, it is an icon like the heart or like button. I suppose it means what you want it to mean. I get why we are going back to using pictographs, but I don't think they will get much use here.

Iris - Click on the three lines at the top left of the word alzconnected on the top of the page. Click on discussions and then other discussions. There is a For People who have lost someone there.

I agree that caring for parents could be combined with general caregiving. That’s how it worked previously and it worked well. I think three discussion groups is a little much to look through as often as we all do.

I typed a response to QBC twice, clicked Post Comment. They are both gone.

Edit: I know what happened now. "Your comment will appear after it is approved."

I posted the same comment three times, thinking I had made a mistake.

Amazing! It was hidden there all the time. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, QBC!

What do the points refer to?

Your "community tour" link is a list of support pages on navigation and forum policies. I can see you have it posted as an announcement(?) at the top of each page and (way down the right frame) under ALZConnected Resources. I am not sure if that naming convention was the best for support or help topics but most(?) of us have figured it out.

My suggestion is to add a help or support icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page, near the search icon.

Google Mail and other websites use a question mark icon. (See Google Mail example below)

As you scroll down the forum posts the "help" or "tour" link is not easily viewable in the right frame.

Just my two cents...

thnks iris but i want aa to tell me how they can fix this issue. this shoul be able to be fixed some how. tis is what i did forva living, sadly this is is not the first conversion and they did not seem to learn anything from the previose changes which is real sad.

Do we have a specific time period to edit a post?
