Test
Hello Dr. Towfigh. Overall, the design of the site seems effective. There is a spot for “stickies” aka pinned topics. The path for starting a new topic, or thread, is clear. The message function and how to use it is clear. When the site was working right, new people were joining and meaningful conversations were occurring.
The major problem with the site has been the arbitrary destruction of people’s posts. I’m not sure that you realize how damaging that was. Some of us put quite a bit of time and effort in to considering a person’s problem and writing it in to a post to give them some useful information, only to have it completely wiped out, gone forever. I suspect that some of the more helpful people, like Chaunce1234, have stopped contributing because of this waste.
In addition to a person’s work being destroyed when they tried to post it, the message function stopped working. I still have empty boxes in my Message center, both from the people who tried to contact me and my reply to let them now that I could not see their message.
So, I think that making the site stable and sensible will be a dramatic improvement. If a post violates a rule, please make it so that the content of the post is saved, and a sensible error message is generated. It’s the destruction of people’s work that has hurt the site the most, I think.
As many have already said this site is a great resource, both for hernia patients seeking help , and patients who are experiencing problems. I think that it could also be a great resource for doctors if they were aware of it and not afraid to read about bad things that are happening in the field. The site should really have many more views than it does.
Clicking “Post Reply” now and hoping. I’ve saved my work, just in case.
