New year, improved EX

Since I stepped into the role of EX Admin, I’ve fielded many excellent suggestions for ways to make the EX Community easier to navigate. The team at Legacy/EX has been working hard to incorporate some of your suggestions, along with a fresh look. We’re planning on rolling out the changes around December 18th, so—heads up—there may be some slowness or downtime as we flip switches, twist knobs and dials, unplug and re-plug in our computers and polish the improved EX Community.

To help streamline things here, we will be making one major change: The forums will be taken out. Ultimately, there are only a few people who visit them regularly, and they were a frequent cause of confusion for new members. Not to worry, the groups, blogs and the rest will remain unchanged. The other noticeable change we’re making is to the homepage of the Community. We’re organizing the information there to make it easier for new members to register.  We think these changes will make it simpler for everyone to maneuver around and find the types of content they’re looking for as they continue on the path to a smoke-free life.

And, of course, once the changes have been made, we welcome feedback. Please feel free to send me a PM here, or contact me via email.

Thanks, everyone!

When I read this, I thought, hmm, they're getting rid of the groups. Then, I went up to the blue tabs and asked myself (out loud!), "WE HAVE FORUMS???"

So I won't miss them. 😃 Thanks for all you do, Cas!

You know your upgrade will be compared to the healthcare.gov rollout? 🙂

My money is on you and your team! Merry Christmas

At long last no more forums! Yippee! While you are implementing changes is it possible to make the ability to adjust size of pics in the blog comments come back?

Is it possible to embed videos in blog comments as well as message boards?

Instructions on how to compose your own 'page' with colors/backgrounds/which codes work for pictures and embedding videos...I have received help to do those things but it doesn't seem to work...

I pray for a smooth transition! Any chance of losing things like should I copy my blog history somewhere just in case?

Thanks for everything and Happy Holidays Cas...I have SO appreciated  our communications this past year! xo

Hahaha, @brenda! Thank you. @KLV: We hope it'll be at least a little less glitchy. @joy: I honestly don't know if that's in this update, but I'll ask.

Cas----thanks for all you do!

As I am SURE you know, you can never please all of the people all of the time.....but you work very hard to be responsive to this group at all times.

Happy Holidays!

Good evening Cas! Thank you for sharing this info with the community! Thank you also for being our advocate in efforts to make this a better community for all! There are lots of us who would like to see our pet projects receive priority! However, I respect the wisdom that puts our newest members first! They are the future of this site, and the reason we are here to start with!

I hope that the up coming days are smooth, and that you have a joyful holiday season!!

Thanks - sounds good! Getting rid of the forums is perfect - I think people sometimes got lost there. Happy holidays to you!
