We longtimers have had a year, plus to get accustomed to the changes with his website. Now that it has been up for more than a year now what do you like, not like?
For the new posters, there is an article (AC - Aging Care posted a reply earlier) that lists acronyms. It would be helpful if AC had that article link at the top of every page as this comes up frequently. The link is:
https://www.agingcare.com/articles/common-caregiving-abbreviations-and-acronyms-435589.htm
There is often complaints that newer users do not know the commonly used acronyms. When someone sets up a new profile, I would hope that AC (AgingCare) sends a welcome email containing the link to the acronym article. It would save plenty of frustration for the newcomers.
So I will post it here;
https://www.agingcare.com/articles/common-caregiving-abbreviations-and-acronyms-435589.htm
I find the reply function, still, very irritating, still. Unless one checks replies it is often difficult to follow a conversation. It also opens up an opportunity for undesirable arguing, correcting and rudeness.
Same issue here.
I can no longer post on the threads.
Testing. See if this works....
I tried to post a new question 3 times. It bounced back as if I was logged out. But, I was logged in, I am sure.
It was about Father's Day, coming up this Sunday, June 21st. Anyone honoring their father?

If you have additional questions please contact me directly rather than distracting from the intent of the forum.
Some on this site act like their in middle school!
I was taught "if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all."
So, if you can't post nice and helpful comment then maybe you shouldn't post!!!
If you're one who is offended by this post then maybe you should stop and ask yourself why!!
Peace Out!!!
I find it disturbing and discriminatory that anyone that defends themselves against a mean mouthed poster, no names required, seems to disappear from the forum. . How is the line drawn? What, when someone obviously doesn't speak English as a 1st language and cannot articulate well they get run off? This is not the first poster that has been run off by this treatment from the instigator.
I know that I am not the only one that finds this disturbing.
Maybe she works for ac and is paid to start problems with people that are obviously overwhelmed and drowning in their situations to run them off. I think that it is a shame that so many people have been run off because someone doesn't like their method of venting. No mercy or grace is extended to the people that need it the most.
Maybe no one should be referred to this site when they call their local counsel on aging for help. It doesn't live up to what it is advertised as.
Or not?........................
Cali, don't pretend like you are trying to help her. Obviously she is struggling and yet you get up and ugly about her trying to find out how to get the help she came here for. Your attitude is offensive under the best of circumstances and then you go after someone that is obviously struggling, you really think that you don't deserve being called out.
Edit: send I see that you edited your post to a laughing emoji. I think that we should all report the ugliness spewed just so she can get the job done.
On the first page of my feed it would be helpful to see what has been said on other threads of interest. I will have to unfollow more new threads in order to access other followed thread.
There used to be data in the newsfeed that actually provided an idea how many additional posts had appeared since I last commented. If I was I interested then I could go read. Now I have to search multiple pages to find comments to other threads of interest.
Another thought on that is the other people thAt have posted to a thread see the same thing in their newsfeed encouraging additional posts and maybe even instigating disagreement and general nastiness between posters. Some just cannot walk away when someone says something they don't like or disagree with.
I have to say I'm disappointed in the site beyond the forum, there are (almost) never any new articles addressing new information, just a constant update of the date stamp on old articles making them appear new or updated - the special covid 19 section is pretty lame. There are other caregiver sites out there that are doing much better in that department.
I had more than two pages of new comments in my newsfeed last night. Overwhelming! I do not choose to follow the threads I am following that closely. But having the number of new posts to a thread was helpful. I never figured out exactly how that worked. Maybe it just took us to a random place within reason because it sure wasn't from the last time I posted.
I do not like, not one little bit, all new posts in my newsfeed. Anyone else?
1) I sometimes hit post and there is a duplicate I would like to be able to delete one of them.
2)I would also like if old posts could be closed for comments. If it is relevant to someone new a new question can be asked and the old post that is archived could still be read.
Life on AC will be a bit more peaceful and we can get along better.
