It’s had it, and has done for a few years. As soon as the DLF took it over. It’s lost its original point.You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset.0

They really just took that forum away from us didn't they. So sad the community and all that advice is all lost forever.0

I stumbled on this tonight, not having seen it previously. A new link?

(I think I vaguely remember it from back then and filled it in back then)Following the work in 2022 the forum will remain closed to allow for additional development. We anticipate this work will be completed by May 2023.
How often I have used Youreable recently? - Well not at all because it's been closed down for a couple of years.

@Newcad Now you would still assume it's active and LME is receiving the data submitted because why leave an active Microsoft link? On its supposedly new updated website? It all seems very poor. I responded, asking if they knew about active, outdated pages with links. 💡0

I think they have just been to lazy to take it down.I doubt that any replies now are going anywere that they will get read. (and probably never got read anyway).BTW I don't believe that is an actual Microsoft address as such, I think it's a survey done through 'MS Forms', which is a part of Office.

I honestly believe that Living Made Easy are no longer a charity at all.
(When did they change their name from the Disabled Living Foundation? The timeline on the website shows it being DLF up until 2019 when it stops).They don't appear to be doing anything charitable nowadays. They appear to be just another marketplace for disability aids.
I do notice that they are also offering Training Courses (Prices starting in the £thousands per course).TBH even if the Youreable forum was to reopen now I doubt that I would go back there, it's a shame but as the saying goes all good things come to an end.0 -
They also make a point of stating we do not offer advice on benefits or medication treatment. Page is back again also after a long absence. I think it had thousands of members signed up, so if you can't use that, the main site looks very outdated, and I doubt anyone seeing that would happily hand over money for training when its website is basically basic even though they claim to have updated it. As for the You'rable, if the banner remains unchanged very unlikely that it had anything updated in its software.0
