Has it all gone back to one board again?

The Health board is separate, and this one is now "Marriages and Families", those of us in non determinate relationships are still outcasts!

As it seems MSE are listening, I'd suggest a different name.

Maybe just 'Families and friends'.

Or 'Familes, friends and relationships'?

Good Idea Person_One

Or even Marriages, Relationships & Family Board like it used to be called? It is still based around that isn't it?

Another potential pitfall of having a Mum's and Dad's board which contains threads such as the less than 12 weeks pregnant thread is that if a forumite has a miscarriage it just emphasises the fact they aren't going to be a mum or dad and they have to leave the board. It's a little insensitive.

We've been reading the feedback and are making some more changes today but please do be patient, it takes a little while to make them so posting on the forum asking why something's been done, just 5 minutes after the first change when we haven't finished doesn't help anyone.

The way to get around this, then, is to tell us what the planned changes are first.
Ideally then have some time for discussion, which the MSE people get involved with, and come to a conclusion and tell us what that conclusion is.
Then make the changes.

It doesn't then matter too much how long the changes take to make. If we know what is happening we won't get upset when one change has happened without another.

I agree with shegirl that MSE do deserve congratulating on listening to feedback from forum users.

Thank you MSE for showing that you do care!

Well Done MSE for listening to everyone!

Hopefully it'll settle down but if you look at this 'new' board, almost all the first page (and that's all there is for a whole evening which is very unusual) iseems to be about baby/toddler stuff.

I'm not complaining as there's obviously a need for that but where are all the threads about relationships and family things?

I've been thinking about what people said about them straying away from mse issues but on reflection many people posting had little money and needed a solution/advice that wouldn't cost them much. That's mse isn't it?
