.....ranting hysteria. Treatment - running (what else?) and thinking zen-type thoughts.

The site does seem to be improving over time but it should never have been launched in the state it was and without any prior communication. Joel (Head of Engagement) needs to think much harder about what his job title means and start doing some of engaging, before changing anything at all. And now I promise to shut up about it and cultivate a state of zen-like calm, aided by my newly purchased violet yoga top (size 14). Well, the site told me yesterday I was female so....!

Yep, they're not bad. Not having to generate my own tags is a bit of an improvement (wash my mouth out!)

Hi oldned,

I can only say sorry once again that your experience was a frustrating one. You can delete unnecessary tags before submitting the post. Make sure to click the 'x' and not the tag itself.

All the very best,

Joel

I can't do that on my smart phone.

Absolute nonsense reply - the tagging needs a real link - NO TAGS or an enable TAGGING feature for anyone with too much time on their hands.

Just because a feature is possible to implement does not mean it should be implemented - I won't talk about testing or the user's platform - screen size - user interface type etc

Unless all users on all devices can access something it should be an option. OPTion the words gives it away.

The random positioning of the reply when you click on "Reply to this" could be VERY interesting - another new feature to address healthunlocked!

I notice I can recommend you so I did. What I really dislike about this change is that users are being nudged into 'desired behaviours' - you know, with the tags, and the title length and compulsory previews. I guess also it's probably got something to do with easier data collection from the site.

Not what you're looking for?
