I'm not writing to you in an email because several have mentioned this and I thought it would be good if there was a general answer.
It seems that there are very few forum topics that show at any given time. OR is there a way to scroll to other forum topics that we don't know about? If so, we can't find it. What happens is, forum topics very quickly disppear, in a matter of days and some people only check in here every few days. Surely we have this wrong, thanks for your answer.
Another person told me that important things people want to post should be on their blog but how many people read blogs? From the number of posts I see on some others? I don't think many. Some blogs have many. There is an uneven distribution and none of us have time to read this many blogs.
Thank you.

Thank you epi_help for such a concise answer. I feel a little silly - should have clicked more. I think I was born with a computer blank spot in my brain!
There have been some topics I read in the past I'm interested in seeing who else, and how, others responded and thought - eeekkks - they're lost! Stupid me.
Again, thanks and I'm looking forward to the changes I know you're working hard on.

Good questions and hopefully these will get fixed with the site changes coming soon. 1. Threads aren't disappearing, but right now they are hard to find. In order to see all the community forum threads you need to click into the community forum in the orange box on the left. then all the titles will come up. As you can see, right now most are just put in under the general column, and thus they are hard to find. They are there however! If you can't find what you are looking for and it is not under the general threads, likely it was a blog you are looking for! The new changes will organize the user-named threads into community forum groups/topics rather than just into a general category...and it will be clearer which section you are writing into.. 2- Blogs are people's journals and you can write in them, or just peruse them as well. When you write in one, note the blog and user name so you can find it easily when you check back. Again, to make sure you are going to the right section, click on the appropriate button in the orange box to take you to where you need to go! 3- How do you decide where to post? Depends on what you want to do with it.. Do you want to share your experiences, insights, ramblings (or whatever!) and are not necessarily looking for feedback? Use a blog. If you have an issue you need feedback/support/help on, and want to get an ongoing discussion going? Use the community forum.. If you need some realt-time support, feedback and company, use the chat function! Does this help? Let me know and keep posting the questions and feedback! Also, keep tuned in for notice of when the latest upgrades will be going live.. I am hoping soon! Hope everyone had a peaceful Thanksgiving, Best wishes, Epilepsy.com Resource Specialist
