MDJ autumn updates |
Oct 16 2011 |
Hello friends
It’s time for autumn updates.
The first thing you probably noticed is that the left pane is on the left again!
You guys voted & although it was close, theleft side won. So I guess the left side is the right side ;-) we’ll keep relaying on your opinion for our next decisions – stay tuned.
Major update to our chat features. You no longer need the MDJ toolbar to chat, just your friends.
Take a look at the friends list on the left bellow your personal menu & click on the ones you want to chat with.
We also updated all our ribbons today, added 7 new ribbons per your requests and changed the way they all look. We like it & hope you do too…
Most of our members have at least one ribbon on their profile, so if you don’t have one yet - GO now to the awareness ribbons page & pick the right ones for you.
One last note about spammers and scammers.
The internet (and MDJ as part of it) has its great advantages but it’s also a playground for bad people. We fight them the best we can but need your help on it.
If you see a member whose sole purpose for being here is promoting a product or service, or you get a PM from ‘someone who want to know you’, ‘send you their pictures’, ‘help them transfer millions’ or other ridiculous requests – LET US know ASAP & we’ll delete their account.
As always – pics of #1 & #2 ;-)

Need I say anything re the litle ones? I can't believe how grown up UV is! What's the baby's name? And how old are they? W/o my girls, I get my baby fixes when and where I can. Yours are exquisite.
Take my advice for all parents of little ones: DON'T BLINK!

It has all the elements I like right at my finger tips. Thank you and as always, the children are lovely! ~ Julie The changes are definitely better, thanks for constantly changing MDJ for the better! Your kids are adorable, BTW.
I do like the changes, was so surprised when I got on this morning...but the best thing is the chat.....thanks again for always coming up with ideas for this great site.
Thank you so much for keeping the site up and moving forward for us all. You are a good friend Roy.

Roy,
I imagine that with SO many responses you've gotten to the changes you have initiated at MDJunction, that--wit ALL the letters your receive, that this comment will fly by, of necessity, unnoticed.
However, dear Roy, there are a few points I'd like to raise with you, regarding the site, if you please:
1)When I'm reading back a diary entry to myself, why does the page HAVE to refresh itself, automatically, every blessed forty seconds or so, and refresh back to the top of the page ?
2) ANd, in speaking of diary entries, why do the lines skip twice a space worth, which makes writing poetry simply awful and prolonged ?
3) PLEASE, at all levels, make an icon for 'spell check ' ?
4) I realize that in sending hugs, or, to write a comment on a diary entry, a certain economy must--I supppose-- be employed. But, adding a 'countdown' of available characters left, as is done elsewhere, would be wonderful...rather than to have a completed remark thrown back as too long, to be sent. This invariably necessitates two-hour's worth of editing to fit the space.
5) Roy, this is clearly my fault, as I have always run overlong, as well you see here. And I cannot think of how many times, I have accidentally deleted a nearly-completed diary entry, and cannot recover it.
Having said all that, Roy, I cannot ever begin to thank you enough for MDJuction, its growth, and developement, thanks largely to you !
And, if I might add my small voice, the photographs of your children, wonderfuly show them to be happy, healthy, and well-loved !
You are to me much admired, Roy. PLease take care,
'Zahc'
Thank you so much for the helpful updates and changes.
Blessings to you and your family.

Site updates...thumbs up !
roy, thank you for listening and giving us all an opportunity tospeak up on what we like and don't like on the board!
thanks for going back to the LEFT side
Colon Cancer Arthritis ... roy, i believe you need a comma between colon cancer and arthritis please
THANks or a new disease is out there on that one too.
wow, i was adding ribbons without realizing you have to click on button in left corner. nice to read below the colors what the ribbons stand for; i didn't realize that until i have 60% thru the choices.
yes, god's blessings on those cute little girls growing up so fast for you and your wife.

i just thought of something when responding to your PM to me just now.
i'd like to see where the SENT/REPLY COMMENTS ALL come back to us; so when i send you/others comments, when you reply; MY comments to you show up first.
then your reply comments are right underneath it.
many times it takes days to weeks to get replies back for those not on board regularly or as in YOUR case, you are inundated with 200 pms daily.
it would help both the sender/recipient vs. us sending a 2nd post to the recipient asking what this is all about.
any other members agree with my suggestion to get this implemented. IF YES, please express this here to roy/alon ok.
thanks roy for your consideration of my request forthe 2nd or 3rd time...but who'se counting?

Thanks for the update. Was wondering how to leave the group. I am blessed to finally have my life back after 15 years of misdiagnosed Lyme, Babesia and Bartonella. Most people that I share what I have done to get well have too much "tunnel vision" to be open to what has worked. I appreciate the information that I have obtained through the group. Thank you. Nina
or had a problem member on my hands that you were warning me of. I appreciate the update! ...and your daughters are GORGEOUS!!! (Though you might like to know that.
) ~Mary
Never take the time you have with them for granted as they grow soo fast.
Love the changes, too!
Can you design an amber-colored ribbon for peripheral neuropathy? That's our cause color, and I'd love to affix it to my profile! Our nonprofit is named after my entire family who's been devastated by the painful and debilitating symptoms, and one of our family names is Ambor, but pronounced amber. Thanks! Best wishes, Lisa
I agree. Those are great changes. I always had trouble with the chat feature in particular. And your kids are cutie pies, of course!!
Have a great day
