PLEASE CHECK WHEN POSTS were CREATED before you reply. Some are several years old and you may not get a reply......

Hi all, healthunlocked have made some changes to the structure of the site recently. For some reason we now get older messages popping up more often, sometimes years old with members who are no longer active.

Some do reach the right person, but if you want to find information or start a discussion a brand new post is the way to go. Thanks. 🌻

Yes, I noticed that “older” posts were popping up - bit confusing! I guess there's a reason behind it, but not sure what exactly.😳

I emailed them to ask - needless to say I haven't had a reply yet!

It seems to vary - sometimes the list at the bottom of my page is for the other recent posts, sometimes it is for stuff from 3 or 4 years ago. Maybe it is a knock-on effect, you get the old ones when it was a reply to an old post? Though I thought it was the same as the Related Posts list - which half the time are not related at all, just a word in the title is the same...

Seems a bit random! As you say maybe it’s just one word in the title ......that “system” makes it related.

Such fun!

Have you ever looked when someone posts an "Update"?

in reply toPMRpro

Yes ....there are a few words that bring up things in reams.

I looked a minute ago as it been tweaked?

in reply toDorsetLady

They (HU) have somehow mixed up next posts with related posts. We have reported but......I would rather they improved the user friendliness than invent a pretty much useless "explore" function, but hey ho.

It’s difficult enough at the moment to know what day it is let alone what year it is! 🤦🏻‍♀️

That turned round and bit me on the bum: Friday is shoppng day, backed up by not needing milk until today. Unfortunately, May 1st is a public holiday all over Europe - Sky has it seriously wrong in alleging shops will be allowed to reopen today! And since it is a holiday in honour of workers - they all and always get the day off. No shopping - just as well I have food, no restaurants which is the usual fall-back!

in reply toPMRpro

Oh no...I never thought. And yes I know if there's a holiday certain countries don't open for anything!!

Still getting an extra reply box too. I did email 3 things to Hu last night. That was one, the issue in this post the second but the third one has gone from my head!

That may be the case but we are just warning people that old posts are coming up. Not everyone wants to read three year old posts, whether good or bad. YBB

Their choice surely!

Dont recall any of us saying it isnt their choice? Maybe you are not reading our posts properly. YBB

And the point is that on some platforms and devices used by members, any reply may not get a response as no one spots it. If someone has a problem or issue they want advice or info about, a new post will always get more responses. It's not a critique of old posts but it get hard to help if a 150 reply 3 year old post starts off again and is confusing.

in reply to

That applies anyway if someone does or not want to reply to a response surely!

What is your point please pepperdoggie. The system was throwing out older messages. It's just telling people that . Please stop making an issue of it. Thank you.
