Woah!! We have a new layout?
I love the new format and the fact that we can now add media files to our posts, view the post in full screen, add bold underlined coloured fonts but is anyone else having problems replying to a post or is that just me? (probably and highly likely!! Ha Ha!)
Looks like replies are limited to a certain amount of letters becasue in a previous reply today, I couldnt see the bottom of my post, it kept dissappearing and everytime I treid to view it, it would dissappear dont he page. Like on FB when you send a long message to someone you cant fit all of the text in the box and the cursor keeps flicking back up the box? Does this make sense to anyone?
This is probably just me and my like with computers and all items electrical just lately!! Ha Ha!
Has anyone else discovered anything
- new about the
- layout that we
- couldnt do
- before?? Ha Ha Ha!! Sorry that was just for fun!!
Isnt this exciting???
Love Jennifer XXXX

Hi Jennifer, I'm really glad you're enjoying the new layout and hope it looks real pretty. I think it would have been nice to have fore warning though. I haven't experimented with the formatting and frankly don't know if I will. I'm just very glad to have figured out how to reply, but my friend Robin from CA is having one heck of a time, even after I gave her step by step instructions. As she said: if it ain't broke, don't fix it and I agree, but I guess we're a minority. At least, I can still post and I was very glad to discover how easy it now is for me to edit a post after I was done and forgot something, so it's not all bad! :D There's my 2 cents, thanks for sharing Jen. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Yes, I noticed that my screen jumps a bit aswell, but its not too bad, just annoying when you're trying to type a post and you cant find the cursor at the end of the sentance because it has jumped up or down the screen and out of the 'posting' box.?
I wonder why it was changed? I agree with Sylvie, if it aint broke etc...because Im not sure if anyone used all of the the features of the old format anyway.
I understand that it might be a nightmare for your guys and I am truly sorry for that. ?
If the situation doesnt get better for you guys, perhaps if we ask nicely they'll change it back?
What do you reckon?
Love Jennifer XX

Well Jen, if by "you guys", you mean Robin and I, we're a minute percentage of members so doubt they'd change it back. Besides, it's troublesome but workable. I just need to help Robin figure it out. I hope the jumping screen is not too annoying for the rest of you. Thanks for your kind attention Jennifer, take care. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Hello Ann,
if you look at the icons to the top of the box where you type your post, they have changed and a couple have been added.
BUT I HAVE NOW BEEN MADE AWARE THAT SOME FORUM USERS WHO USE A PARTICULAR TYPE OF SCREEN READER TO ACCESS THIS SITE CANNOT ACCESS THIS SITE SINCE THE CHANGES WERE MADE!!
I've just received a distressing email from one very well known, well loved and respected user on here who now cannot access this forum and so will no longer be able to join in with us on here and I for one am really saddened to hear this.
Please admin, change the format back to how it was so these users can join in with us!!!!
Screen reader users may be in the minority, but it is every fans right to be able to access this forum plus they are a vital and important part of this forum and would be very greatly missed!!!!
Everyone could access the forum prior to these changes and that is how it must be!!
Please show your support for these screen reader users who no longer have access by adding your reply here.
Love Jennifer XXXXX

I'm with you on this one Jennifer, we don't need extra buttons for formatting, and everyone should be able to access the forum, we want more fan here not less!! I do try and think of everyone when I post videos, I embed the video if it will allow also adding the the web address (url) too, just to make sure it is accessible to all. I say go back to the previous buttons!

Hi Jennifer and Özlem, thank you so much for your support girls! My friend Robin from CA is really heartbroken about not being able to access the site. As I’ve said, I’ve tried explaining to her step by step, but so far unsuccessfully. I’m not giving up on her though. I’m wondering why the icons or formatting tools were added. Has someone expressed a need for some, or was this an attempt at making things look prettier? Well, in any case, again, I deeply appreciate your kind attention and support girls. I don’t know if your plees will make any difference, but it would certainly mend Robin’s broken heart if she could post again. I spoke with her yesterday and she doesn’t even want to read the forum any more, because she figures it’s pointless. Anyone who knows Robin from CA, knows that she’s an ardent supportor of Michael’s and has traveled a lot over the past 18 years to “see” him. This site is the first one she’s been able to participate actively in. Uhm Jennifer, I’m sorry sweetie, did I miss something? Did Robin or someone else send you a distressing E-mail? Just checking. Well, I’ve stated my case, thanks again girls. Big hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada
P.S.: Robin says she misses being here and sends her love to everyone.

Sylvie, respectfuly, I wont divulge the name of the person who sent me the email just that this person loves this forum and is a huge Michael fan. I want to respect the privacy of the person who sent it because Im sure that they wouldnt want their name to be linked to this request or be seen as being a trouble maker even though they are not and it is me who is causing the problems! Ha Ha!!
I know that you might think that you are in the minority and indeed you probably are, but that doesnt mean that you have any less rights to have acces to this site.
As you so rightly ask, who decided upon the change?
What prompted this decision?
How difficult would it be to change the format back to how it was prior to the change?
Gail, would it be at all possible for admin to answer these questions on here or should I contact them directly?
Many thanks Gail.
Love Jennifer XX

Hi Jennifer, I didn't mean to pry, I'm sorry. I got side-tracked today but I intend to make a file for audio instructions for Robin so I'll E-mail it to you when it's ready, so you can forward it to your friend, okay? The reply process has changed but it's technically not that complicated, we just need to add a couple of steps to the process. I'll send you the file as soon as I've recorded it. Frankly Jen, I respect your friend's privacy but I feel that expressing one's needs is not trouble-making. The web people can do whatever they want and again, certainly don't have to cater to anyone. Take care. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Yes i think even if its only one person who cant access this site it should be changed back.As much as we appreciate that admin are trying to improve things it shouldnt mean that everyone cant enjoy it.Please either fix or but it back to former layout for everyone to access .xx
