The issue I posted over a week ago has not been corrected.

I am signed in on this site as just_joe and it shows me signed in, When posting a comment even thou I show signed in I still have to use my facebook account to post the comment.

I was told this issue was forwarded to someone who is supposed to resolve the issue. I was also thanked for the patience. Others are having the same problem. If this issue is happening to me and a few other how many people will give up and stop commenting???

There are reasons I use facebook and it really isn't for this site. There are still some people who do not want to use social media. We have our reasons and each reason is our own. I don't like twitter since it stop people from actually conversing, Can the young people today actually hold a conversation with other people without using initials instead of the word? When I see 2 young people texting I think they are sending texts to friends or family members only to find out they are setting next to each other and texting each other. Does that actually make sense to you or others???

My facebook account is used to check up on family members. Other then that I rarely post anything other than notes to people I have known most of my life

I have another issue that needs to be resolved. I have posted 2 times on the same post and what I typed did not stay on the comment. I was commenting in women with epilepsy. The lady was 24 yreas old and was diagnosed with epilepsy. I copied parts of her post and pasted those into the comments section, I typed in things I wanted her to think about and answers to her questions and I did that after each section I pasted only to have the comments I wrote in not show up after posting my comment Are yall changing more stuff like when you moved the diary over to this site??????

Thanks I come in here to see if I can answer some peoples questions. I answer them with the knowledge I have obtained by living and dealing with epilepsy for 50+ years. I have been blessed and God helps me daily by helping me remember things that happened years ago that I can relate to when answering posts. This site has belssed me since I needed something And  Ifound it here. That something was the Diary. Yes it is beneficial and I try to let people know it is here and that id they use it their doctors can help with different things by reading the graphs.I point to areas where the people can get answers as to types of seizures they might be having. Oh and medications    Most people think all medications are bad becasue they see the posts. True 5-8% of the people taking any medication get side effects and they are the ones that post. What about the other 92-95% who's medication is doing great and many have no seizures?? Oh well I'll wait a little longer
