Yes this is going to be tough. I am only in front of my laptop twice a month to do banking.

I take short breaks throughout the day and pop onto this site using my phone.

I really need to try the new site again. :(

It’s probably me - I’m the living proof you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. I’ll probably be more comfortable about the same time they change it again. I’m not giving up.

Becky - it's not you. The old site is so much better than the new site. Clean looking, organized, easy to read.

If AC was trying to make the site more user friendly on mobile devices, they fail miserably. Perhaps it is better on the latest iPhone, but I don't have the money to spend on an expensive iPhone just to read AC.

If anything is better, it is the advertisement on the site. The ads seem to be bigger and get in the way.

Polar Bear, I have an IPhone 8 Plus, so it’s not your phone. I agree about the ads.

Something I've noticed in the last few days is I think unrelated to either version of the website, but I think it would help for searches. When I use the search function in the tool bar, I get hits that have no posting dates. So it's necessary to check each one out to find the one I'm looking for.

Some of them are years old, and although they might be helpful, they were before my time here.

It would be nice if posting dates could be added to the search hits so we can sort through and pick the latest ones.

Thanks for any consideration on this request.

GA - agreed That one has always bugged me. It would be nice also to have the most recent posts on top.

One thing I noticed with the current old website for the forums, I need to now log-in where before I didn't, my ID was always "on".

Hard to get use to because I would have a long answer already and when I go to Post Comment it says I need to sign-in. I couldn't sign-in while I had an answer waiting in the answer box. Poo. The link wouldn't work. Then I would need to go back to "Ask A Question" for it to sign me in. i don't know how many times I had forgotten to highlight what I had written to save it so I could post it properly.

Old habits are hard to break, especially at my age :0

ff- It's a drag having to retype your answer, especially if it's a long one.

I don't have to sign in on the old site each time, but I have to do that every time i click on the link to go to the new site while already logged in on the old site. Wish I didn't have to do that. It is annoying.

OK. I just created my first post on the new website and was unable to edit it. When I clicked “apply edits”, nothing happened, so my post is just one long paragraph......sorry guys. Anyone out there figured it out?

I looked over the new site briefly, and didn't like it. Let's hope we can keep the old version a long time!

I did edit a spelling mistake on the new site, but then I lost all the formatting... it was magically restored when I went to check later though. Obviously still a few bugs to iron out.

As for realizing you need to log in in the midst of typing a reply....
open the site in a new tab and log in there, then when you go back to your original tab and when you post the comment you will be logged in. Voila!

For advertisers, new site is eons better.
If that is the long view of what AC is geared to become, I’m off.

And polar, I cannot look at your avatar without thinking “bear dating site” Foto.  Tinder for bears.

PolarBear's avatar reminds me of one of those emotional movies with children and animals. A father flying in the Arctic suffers a crash; his Arctic hardened children go out in search of him after rescuers are unsuccessful in locating him. Along the way, they meet up with a charming, very social and people acclimated baby polar bear, who with his animal instinct helps them find their father.

The baby bear is soooo cute and charming.

Just found another glitch. So I’ve scrolled across the questions to the arrow for new questions in which they appear horizontally. If I am on page 4 or 5 and I click on a question to read it, clicking the back arrow takes me to a blank page. If I click it again, I go to the first page and I have to go through all those questions again to get to the bottom where I can choose (if I can remember) what page I’m on.

This morning when I went onto Aging Care current website forum, I noticed on the forum home page that one post said it had 17 answers... but when I clicked on the post I found only 10 answers.

Then I noticed I wasn't logged into the site. So when I did that and went back to the post in question, there were the 17 answers. Was this a hiccup in the software or the norm as I use to be always logged in.... now the software logs me out when I leave the website.

Now it makes me wonder if someone using the website forums for the first time and who forgets to sign in, thinks no one had answered their question. So they sign in and posts the question all over again.

It might have been only showing "Helpful Answers" if you weren't signed in FF.

So, has anyone noticed, there is no longer an invitation to preview the new website?
I was so looking forward to getting a new selection of "Hugs".

You're right! It's not there anymore.

Maybe...hopefully... perhaps ... Agingcare people reconsidered and decided to leave well enough alone. I for one prefer the current site and format.

I'm reading this from the new site. Hm, maybe they are making upgrades, or maybe getting ready to consolidate?

Cwillie,
Gershun will leave you a popcorn trail if you cannot find your way back to the classic site.

I know, they are allowing all the good people on the new site, and the bad ones stay here.

How do you get to the new website?

ff, when "helpful answers" is selected only the top ten are shown.

I'm automatically signed in when open AgingCare, so I don't know how it works if you aren't signed in.

I much prefer the new format. I only occasionally go back to the "classic" to check a new poster's profile. Somehow it seems to show up on the old format first. I know that won't be the case when there is only one format!

I LOVE being able to sort questions by newest first, oldest first, or by most helpful. It is surprising how helpful that is!

I like that the search feature is visible at the top of the page and not hidden in a menu.

Once upon a time serif fonts (the classic format) were considered easiest to read. New research suggests the sans serif fonts (new format) are generally easiest to read on screen. I find the new format font clean and easy to read. Mine doesn't have a blue background, though.

There is a "follow" button on each question post.

I don't access AC from my smart phone, so I don't know how that works.

I was pleased to be able to move my profile picture around, to get what I wanted in the circle. PolarBear, that is the fix for your headless bear!

I'm not sure I understand what the complain is about advertising. Could someone point out a specific example?

I bookmarked the new site so I have a link in my browser, I'm not sure I could get there otherwise. I spend time on both sites, that way I can use the features I like best on each.

Hi all,
Thanks for your recent comments and questions regarding the move toward the new AgingCare. We are on track to transition to the new site soon, and as we go we have been making updates to include your feedback. We anticipated making the full transition to the new site this week, so we disabled the "toggle" to the preview site. Many of you have requested we bring it back, so we are working right now on reinstating that feature while we finish the transition. Each week ends with updates to address issues you all have found. It is really important to continue to let us know if you find any "bugs" related to our updates. Until the toggle can be pushed back into production the new site is alive and well at
https://preview.agingcare.com
See you there soon ;-)

Once again, here I am, over on the new aging care website.
This time Gershun, can I have real butter on my popcorn trail?

AgingCareCM,
Did the tech people forget to change back the "return to classic website?"

Help me, I am lost, but in a beautiful sea green and turquoise format. Maybe I will stay here.

However, I really really need to "unfollow" a few threads, or conversations, and the unfollow function was not working any longer on the classic site.

The new site does not work well on my smart phone which I use more often to access agingcare. All the buttons and the ads are so big which means I can only see a few things at a time on the screen. It's a struggle to nagivate. Oh well, I suppose i won't frequent the site much after it switches to the new format.
