sometimes it is just having enough time to get on the board to look.

I don't really think there is less action. I like the format because it is the type of message board format that I am used to. I also think its nice to have different sections for different types of questions/posts

I agree with the original question ...it isn the same as the original message board the differnet threads make it too much to search through...also It seems that the same people seem to be answering. It would be really good if there were a bigger response. Personally I think all us parent have an equally valid voice....

Certainly! I try to answer anything I can contribute to because I think its important for people to get a response to their post. I do think there are times people e-mail or PM a poster because they would rather not answer on the board or they feel its more personal to e-mail or PM. So basically, if you see a post you can contribute to, respond! I like reading as many responses as possible, getting different views and perspectives is important.

I think a few improvements might help: From the main BDSRA website, when you click on the forum link it brings you to medical questions rather than the board as a whole. Also, I still have not found a direct link back to the main website from the board. Possibly less sub-forums (i think that is what you call it), everyone seems to use the same two: Medical questions and General. 2C

I agree I think the message board is very confusing, but I don't like change also ;D. I think there was more posts on the other board also. I think that with time we wil all get used to the new board.

I also am having a hard time with the new board - miss the format of the old board. I tend not to check the message board nearly as often with the new format - just can't get into it.

Hey everyone-- I made a few tweaks. Unfortunately going back to the old board just isn't possible. The pop-ups were causing some people to get virus warnings and the board would only let us keep 500 posts at a time. We could have upgraded but it would have cost us money and the board's format was not worth paying money for.
I think it's just going to take time for everyone to get used to this. I'll express your concerns to the rest of the staff and our webmaster.

I think that change is always hard. There is so much resistance to it. Having said that, I do think this new board format is confusing. I think all the different 'threads' are a problem. I do think that the board is a lifeline for the Batten community, and therefore extremely important, perhaps one of the most important areas that BDSRA supports? For many within this community, it is the only 'contact' they get with other Batten families. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if the board is not servicing the community, another solution needs to be found, even if it does involve some kind of expense.

I will agree with most....this bulletin board is confusing. I miss the visibility of the old board and this why I have not posted or even read posts for months. i know we can't go back. We deal with enough change in our lives I guess we can deal with this.

I used to check this site out daily and I do know there are other alternatives out there to make this easier. Not sure why they haven't been done. I am thinking now that this site is no longer a benefit to most which is unfortunate and it will scare off any newly diagnosed families. Even the photos page is not beneficial any longer. I will not be coming back.
