Hi Bri, I am sorry to hear that. If you can tell me which ones you are having difficulty finding, I can help you to get to them. And could you give a few more specifics on the ease of use issue that you mentioned? Thanks!

We have just launched a couple of neat changes to the site:

Reworked Header
The header for the site has been slightly reworked, making it easier to search for professionals across the country. You can now search by location, professional type, and zip code directly from the header. If you want to simply go to the professional map, select 'Map' and your desired professional type, then click 'Go'.

Additionally, Search, Messages, and "My Account" have been integrated into the menu bar. What was previously "My OH" has been renamed to "My Account", and "My History" has been renamed to "Surgery History" to make it easier to understand. 

Snazzy New Editor for the Forums
HTML Editor #1 has been upgraded to the latest version. Previously, it used something called "FCK Editor", which has been upgraded to its newer counterpart, "CKeditor".

Along with this change, all of you get a couple of new toys to play with:

1. First off, you are now able to create numbered lists and bullet lists in all of your posts! You will see two new buttons for that up top.
2. Secondly, the spell checker is now always on and works automatically as you type. As you keep typing, any wrong spellings get underlined in red. To correct them, you just need to right click the word to see the options.

​Please let us know if you have any questions or doubts, and we look forward to hearing your feedback!

Regards,
ObesityHelp Team

Very interesting. Are you on Windows? And if so, which version? I will definitely look into this.

Its been over six years since we've launched our forums. During this time it has seen thousands of fresh faces, greetings, meetings, partings, arguments, kind words, life transformations, cathartic rants, and simply happy time pass. It has been with us throughout this time, silently observing and facilitating. But like any wise old man, its bones were getting old. Its joints were aching, and it has been needing a new jolt of energy.

A Mobile World
Did you know that over 30% of you visit our website using a mobile device? For those who do visit us via mobile, we owe you a sincere apology, because our forums have been horrendous on a mobile browser. But the big news is that things are about to change! Our new forums are completely mobile friendly and compatible with iPhone, Android, and pretty much any other modern smart phone.

Each post, topic, and forum shows up beautifully, with the full set of features, and in nice large font. See the screenshots for yourself.

You dont have do anything different, just browse to the forums like you normally would. This means that you can finally put these away:

Not Just for Mobile
The interface on your desktop browser has also been cleaned up a great deal. There is now less clutter on the page, and the overall experience is a lot cleaner. Check out some more screenshots here!

You will notice that each post no longer has 400 buttons below it. Only the buttons that are relevant to each post show up, making your screen space a lot less cluttered. Also, when you reply to another person's post, the entire post is indented inside, making it a lot easier to figure out who has replied to whom.

Launching soon! Maybe as early as next week! Maybe.
And do remember that this is not in any way a be-all-end-all when it comes to the forums. We are in the process of constantly learning and improving upon what we have, and this is just one step along the way.

Stay tuned for the changes! We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this.

Thanks for the notice, everyone. I did catch this when it first happened a week ago but thought it went away. Looks like it's still happening. We'll look into this shortly. In the meantime, enjoy a taste of the future. :)

 Thank you all for your honest feedback, particularly regarding the bookmarks. We have read all of it and are discussing the best course of action.

The main purpose for these new changes was to make it easier for everyone to quickly get to the most important places, like Forums, Photos, Groups, My Journey, MYOH, and your Settings. On top of that, we made the whole navigation flow and feel a lot faster (which I hope you've noticed!).

We realized that Meebo was really not being used much, so it's not worth having those popup ads on your page from something that's rarely or never used. Also, it would constantly keep connecting with the Meebo servers multiple times a minute (that's just the way these chat clients work), slowing down the site in the process. All that overhead for something that's not really used? So off it went!

The other aspect regarding the bookmarks, in addition to what was said in the main post, is that it was built a LONG time ago using some REALLY old code, and it was simply not going to work with the new smoother navigation. But as mentioned, we're working on a way for you to at download your old bookmarks, so stay tuned for updates on that.
