Have another question…
When I get an email to say there’s a response and click on the link to the post. It takes me to the first post and not the one that I’ve just been emailed about.
Twice this morning
I’m using my mobile… iPhone.
Not sure if its a glitch but would be much easier to take me to last page. Not so bad on this thread as only 7 pages long but when it gives options of page to go to ie 1 of 7, 2 of 6, etc its ok but will be scrolling for while in a long thread.
Actually ignore that if I click on the word view and not all the highlighted bits it works. Sorry
Thank you Helen, that’s all fixed now - super quick service :cathappy:
Where can I find the “Upcoming Events” section regarding planned Lingerie Evenings, Breast Reconstruction talks etc?
Thanks Lily2000, that made me chuckle, especially the idea of you and Lulu doing a raid on me :catvery-happy:
Yes, I’ve had a fair few PMs from shy/private people over the years I’ve been on here (never managed that escape!) sometimes because they’ve seen stuff in my biog that resonated.
I am very happy for any/all forum members to see my biography stuff (as they could on the last two versions of the forum) but don’t want Jo(e) Public reading it, for all sorts of reasons (I’m not in health care, but an equally sensitive role). It seems at the moment the biog stuff is described as ‘public and searchable’ but actually isn’t.
I am sure the techie people will get it sorted in due course… I will leave virtual cat-cakes outside the broom cupboard door for them :catwink:
I apologise if this has been me mentioned before BUT. why are the latest comments in a thread at the top and where is the ‘first unread’ button? It’s males reading the thread really hard as you have to scroll down to the last post read, scroll to the top of that post, scroll back up to the next, then down to read, then back up again . . Why?!?
Also the subject heading appears too large on my mobile. I only use a mobile or tablet to access the account.
Please please change it back its driving me mad and making me want to defect!!!
As a long standing member of this forum, I must add what a dreadful mess this ‘new’ layout is. I cannot even be bothered to read back over the posts on here to see if I am repeating what anyone else has said but:
Why have Latest Posts disappeared (pretty much)? Surely most users checked these first on the older forums and didn’t know which Topic heading a thread was under, let alone try to find it. I agree new users would post under a Topic heading but after that, didn’t most of us check in each time in the Latest Posts page to see any replies to any thread that was active? As it is any latest posts (under a particular topic) are now being duplicated if a reply is added, as happened at first with the last re-incarnation of the forum. That way we may only see one topic being replied to whereas others are active as well. Also the ‘Welcome’ page is not welcoming at all, you are encouraged to join the Forum before reading, something I know many of us found we didn’t want to do until we had something to add or ask. Reading the Forum when it was a much more user friendly affair back in 2008 was the main reason I joined the BCC Forum rather than any other BC related website as I didn’t have to ‘join’.
Very disappointed.

Oh good, it’s not just me struggling with the new forum! I’m finding it hard to find what I want (where is Triple Negative??!) and can only find my way around through the search facility. But then I forget where I’ve been and I’ve just been trying to find a post I wrote yesterday with no joy hence I came here to whinge. The menu on the left hand side of the old board was very simple and easy to use. And please can we have the latest post section back?
Hi All,
Just to let you know I have passed on all your feedback and comments.
Best wishes

I’m wondering if there is a positive response to this desire for a ‘Latest Posts’ section rather simply lamenting its passing? If I remember correctly, two forum versions ago, the front page was actually not so different functionally from what we have now - a hyperlink to each major section of the forum (with the one most recent post in that section underneath it) and above all of them a hyperlink to ‘latest posts’. Within each major section, the functionality was very similar to what we have now, with subsections each with their own list of latest posts.
I appreciate it is no small undertaking, but might it be feasible to add a long thin button like the ‘talk to people like me’ one that led to ‘latest posts’ which people could then trawl to their hearts content? Not saying it should happen, just wondering if it might be feasible and meet the perceived need of some users?
I totally understand that the clear message was that people didn’t like it as it was (I recall the gripes early on after the last launch) but in my experience users can be very fickle: ‘when I said I wanted that , I didn’t mean that, I meant this.’
Hope this is useful and does not feel like soemone trying to tell you what to do… personally i’m happy looking at sections I am interested in.
Haven’t had time to really check out the new website properly, but one thing I noticed straight away is that I am finding this new typeface really difficult to read, especially on the forums. I know eyesight can be affected by chemo but I didn’t have this problem with the old website… The print needs to be ‘bolder’! or a ‘bigger/different font’ ?- hope you can see the difference!** Does anyone else have the same problem? It was much easier to read through posts on the old **system - and as a lot of time is spent skimming through posts it gets very tiring on the eyes with this new font. The ‘information’ section is slightly clearer as the line spacing is different and there is more space between each line which makes it slightly easier to read. I know forum users can change the fonts when they write their posts but not everyone would think to do so. Keep up the good work - the website has been invaluable! Ciccia
Where can I now find postings for those with Inflammatory Breast Cancer?
Scobie, you have given your full name (assuming your email is your name) and email address to ANYONE who might look at this thread - not just people registered with BCC. In the interest of safety, you might want to edit your last post??
When you are trying to find threads on here the search box at the top right hand side is very useful. When you find a thread you can bookmark it by clicking on the purple thread options tab and choosing bookmark. Then you will see the number of bookmarks you’ve saved at the top right of your screen. Click there to open them. No more searching!! 
Hope that helps.
I’ve only just found my way on to here due to an issue with my “name” being lost. And the first thing I tried to fins was (of course) latest posts. But I’m completely baffled! Where are they? Sorry if its me, and i know i have not posted much lately, but am I missing something here?
Hi Mods…
can you help me please? I have 3 bookmarked threads (this being one of them!) When I go to my bookmarks, the first thread has 6000 + unread posts (I presume t hat’s the number of posts, not unread ones), the 2nd thread 2000 + and this one 9.
When I go to a thread, it takes me to the latest post, and I have to scroll down to the first one I don’t think I’ve read. I HAVE checked the “go to last unread post” box… The posts are not (as far as I can see) bold or unbold to show which have been read.
I’ve read the new forum hints and still none the wiser…
thanks
Jane
Sorry, but another gripe from me! Why is the ‘body’ of a post so small? You can only see a few lines yet there’s loads of space on the page that could have been used. Not seeing the rest of the posts associated to a thread is also frustrating, why can’t we scroll down like on previous versions of the Forum?
Also please bring back latest posts, it seems that others want that as well. Seeing 4 (often repeated) latest posts in a particular thread, inside a particular topic, is not very useful and not what we need.
Nicky
On my bookmark page ALL threads have the total number of replies EXCEPT this one which shows the number of unread posts. It reverts to 0 every time I open the thread. Also all my threads remain bold (Topic bookmarks, not message) permanently, except this one which unboldens (???) itself when there are no unread messages. Is it to do with new threads started on the new forum as opposed to ones moved across from the old? This thread is the only ‘new forum’ one I’ve bookmarked so I can’t test that theory!
It’s useful to see when there are new posts without having to open each thread. However, the total number of posts is quite good for us (sad, nerdy?? 
) types that like an excuse for a virtual party at important milestones eg 1000 posts!
Thanks Helen. I DO use both a PC and ipad, but I often use either several times in succession (depending where I am) and I never get taken to the last unread post, but the last post (cue for a trumpet!)
Thanks Jane
Sorry, can I give you another problem?
I’m trying to change my avatar… I can click on “upload avatar” and on my ipad I get a choice of photos on it - only they end up upside down! On my PC, when I click on that, I get an empty box and nothing happens - can go nowhere…
thanks guys…

I’ve just spent AGES looking for how I can find the latest posts. I came here to ask how to find it and it looks as though it doesn’t exist anymore. The old forum (before the last one!) was a godsend to me when i was diagnosed (I never understood why it was actually changed in the first place?) . I now pop on every now and then to see. If there are any posts I can offer help or advice on - as I always appreciated it when old-timers replied to my threads when I was a newbie. However, I don’t have time to go through each topic individually. It also makes it feel less of a community as you can’t login and just see all of the most recent news in one place… Is it going to be changed?
