I signed up a couple of days ago. I'm getting emails that say there are responses to my post. (I had asked about support groups in Clear Lake, TX). When I click the links, I'm taken somewhere else entirely, or when I am taken to my post there is no link to the responses. This is the most confusing site I've ever seen. My first instinct was to just leave, but I thought you need to hear this. I'm not an idiot, but neither do I have an hour or two to figure out a website that may or may not be able to help me. It's easier to must move to the next hit on Google. Sorry.

Generally this site just sucks and is unbelievably not user friendly! It has gotten worse with every 'improvement"! I have had about two/thirds of my friends deleted and now recently I have noticed my before and after pics have disappeared!
On the other hand, the people on here are generally great, supportive, honest, and wise so its still sort of worth it!

Omar, I'm sorry you're having issues. The site had a server problem recently and it's taken a little time to get it back to "normal". Maybe try logging out, closing the widow and reopening it. I had to do that on my phone to see it after the problems.
There are many knowlegable and helpful people on this site.
I'm from the Clear Lake area and would be happy to team up with you. Not sure How great my advice is but I can try.
Give LBT another chance.
Good luck to you.

Hey Alex, when I click on go to "first unread post," it just takes me to the first post. Then I have to scroll down through everything I've already seen. Just an FYI. It's the same on my Mac and my Win XP machine. It's been that way since before the the server crashed. I think since the last software update.

Ok thanks Alex you are seeming real to me now. Someone named Ken I think fixed my photos and I think he may be real too...

My patient data's disappeared twice since I started visiting again a week ago, and I can't be bothered fixing it again. But aside from that I've been here for a fair few iteratons of this site, and for the most part, they all sucked in parts of it, and was awesome in others. But overall, the information and support I got here was invaluable, so I kept coming back. I learnt more from some of the members here about my band than all the books and all the other sites mixed together.

And Alex, suuuuuureee you're real! ;)

I have the same issue as Cocoabean. I have been complaining about it since I think the upgrade before last but it hasn't been fixed yet. It is really annoying especially when you get the email and click on the link in that and you have to go through from the beginning again.

So Alex if you really are real please fix it.

Hello,

I believe this is fixed. You may not notice it immediately. Once you start a new topic, or reply to a topic - (after this message) you should begin noticing that it's working. Please do confirm either way :-)

Thanks,
Ken

I wish you could skip to more recent pages/comments per individual topics on the mobile website. I know i used to see that option before but now i can't. Makes things very frustrating. :(
