A link to the Community Guidelines is fixed to the right of all discussion pages, beneath the Quick Links section:

Thank you for your feedback. Please understand that the inability to increase the size of avatars/profile pictures is not a feature of the platform. If this becomes available in the future, then we will implement it. Please note that you can view a larger sized version of a member's profile picture/avatar by clicking on their profile and viewing it from there. We appreciate your understanding.

If I want to see the most active current discussions in all categories, is going to this button the best option? If not, please advise:

Can tags be added to a discussion anytime after the original discussion is started? If yes, how is this done.
For example, if I wanted to add the tag "new platform", "useful info" or "widgets" to this discussion. How would I do it?

I am having difficulty finding a response to this comment. Is there a way to reply directly to a comment within the discussion? I am not talking about direct messaging the comment poster. I am talking about having a comment attached directly to a comment already within the discussion.
In my current comment, I have included loveskitties original comment using the quote feature.
0 -
Yes, that is the correct option.

You can edit your post to add a tag; however, you can only use tags from the existing list. You can find that list here.

There is currently not a way to implement the feature you are requesting. In order to directly address a comment, we suggest you continue to use the Quote feature. Thank you for your understanding.

Would you please explain how to add a tag once I have opened the edit function?
Edited by LT:
It appears that I can only add tags, if I am the original poster. Is that correct? If so, please advise.

Yes, you can only tag a discussion that you have created. Click the three dots at the top of the discussion thread you created, then click edit. You will now see the Tags section at the bottom of the page, so feel free to add as many tags as you wish.

Is there a way to bring back a working link to "Understanding the Dementia Experience"?
What happened to the "Solutions" pages?
FTR, I appreciate the speed with which the site is working, remaining signed in, not having longer replies vanish into thin air and starting where I left on longer threads.

Just agreeeing with HB, I also miss the Solutions pages and used to refer for them, very useful especially for new members. Hope they are not gone for good. Knowing whether there is any way to create a live link would also be useful. Ed used to have a way to do it but it involved creating a link in a Word document and then copying and pasting, I don't know if that would still work?

This also doesn't work from this site. So I guess the qeustion is, is there any way we can post active links to any document?

Is there any way we can get a horizontal list of the various threads once we open a discussion( general topics for example). Similar to the old site with minimal info - title, original poster, last updated date/time. And have it happen while we remain signed in?
I use an iPhone SE 2020 to come here. The screen isn’t huge. I only get one thread box to show up on my screen and then must scroll down again and again as I pass each thread. By the time I’ve scrolled through the most recent six, I am annoyed and I’ve given up. I think that’s a common refrain among your most ardent members.
So threads of people who need supported are not getting their threads seen. Therefore they aren’t getting answers from other members
Getting this list would increase traffic to these discussions and threads much more than any of the gratification techniques.

I posted a link above to alz.org and it worked for me. I used the "quotation" icon at the bottom left of this comment text box. Try it.

Is there a way to include date of each post along with time of post????

Any way you can add the year to the date of postings? Would also be helpful it the OP could be identified in the thread, here's an example:
We appreciate your efforts in trying to accommodate all our requests.
