I went looking , again it’s buried @Giulia .,There was no response on the suggestion to run a banner at the top of the page with the link a few days prior to meet ups .
I think it would be beneficial to do that, it might increase attendance . Run it by @SuzyQ411 , she often goes .
Thank you, @SuzyQ411 thank you @Anonymous . Geez. It really shouldn't be THIS HARD to find it. Just sayin'! MOO
Uh NO. I clicked on you link Suzy and it just had me sign into my google account. Did NOT take me where I want to go.
What do those in need of quitting fun, support and sustenance do here to find this Cafe? It really SHOULDN'T be this hard. Very frustrated here. And if I'M frustrated with a 17 year + quit - I can only imagine how someone with a new quit might feel trying to get connected. GRRRRRR.l
And PS, it doesn't matter if it's the "Christmas season" and everybody is scattered in the Admin dept. This is an important time, especially, to come together for those in need. Stresss creates cravings. Grrrr again! lol
Did you try the new link I sent in the above post? @Giulia ? Right now I m "in" but they have not yet strted the cafe at 9:12 so wodering if it was cancelled perhps...??
Oh well.. there must be aan issue on the other end as I have been "in: since before 9PM and there is still no host at 9:20 so I am going to close my connection to Zoom and do other things..
Got it, Suzy! Thanks. Maybe Dr. Burke is busy playing his tin flute? Some emergency, perhaps? Or are we just lost in space here? Maybe it'll just be you and me, kid, talkin' like this! And that's okay too!
No, that's okay. I just can't believe they'd leave us hanging like this. They would have at least said SOMETHING, doncha think? Very odd. Either there's a technical issue or some major emergency going on. Perhaps we'll be informed at some future date. Then again, perhaps not. And that's life! Catch ya next time. @SuzyQ411
@Anonymous Christina and I were at the morning Cafe gathering along with Coach Margaret and of course Todd. Last month's also number 4 in attendance. No mention of any issues with the evening group not meeting... so have no idea what happened... I am gonna PM Todd just to see what might have happened...
Yes I know @Barbscloud , but I had to scroll down a mile cause it wasn’t handy . I didn’t save it because I do not attend them . A banner would be a reminder and handy . We used them in quitnet for various things and it worked great .Thank you tho . If I had to scroll that much and couldn’t find it for Giulia and I have been on here years , would the newcomer even know that if they scrolled down several pages it would be info they could use .
I knew Barb that it’s at the top of the first page and mentioned that it my post ( previous) but it appears on screen that it could be an older post because of the 50 responses . I never go to page one then page 50 ie if multiple pages . I normally go to the last page or two . For example in get moving group I don’t go to page one , I go to the last page . So if you don’t go to page one you do not see that link . If you don’t copy it you won’t have it .Hope Ex sees how confusing this is for both the elders and newcomers to better inform people would be a banner or something more visible all the time . People are in and out here .
I recommend maybe if one can to take a picture of it in the green box ) then save it to your computer . I am Just trying to help and make suggestions from my perspective to help the attendance grow .
A banner a few days up continuously would be best .
If I lived in the states or didn’t have other commitments and felt comfortable with zoom , I’d go but I’m not from the States as you know . I’m not a zoomie , ( tech savvy) and already on Ex so much trying to spend less time here as I need to spend time with family as well .
@Anonymous Maybe we're at different locations. I didn't have to scroll at all. The link to sign up is at the very beginning of the post and lists all the upcoming events.
I'm not attending it either, but other's say they can't find it and it's not difficult to find.
No we are not on the same page, I’m not speaking of scrolling in that post , I’m speaking of scrolling to find the ex cafe post . It’s obvious it is hard to find . It’s brought up every month that someone can’t find it l I would prefer not to converse about this anymore with you Barb . I don’t go to them so I’ll let those who do or want to go manage it. It’s not as hard for you and I because we are aware it’s there , aware of what Ex cafe is , newcomers coming in do not .
Member since MAY 2008. I quit smoking March 1, 2006. I smoked a pack and a half a day for about 35 years. What did it take to get me smoke free? Perseverance, a promise not to smoke, and a willingness to be uncomfortable for as long as it took to get me to where I am today. I am an Ex but I have not forgotten the initial difficult journey of this rite of passage. That's one of the things that's keeping me proudly smoke free. I don't want to ever have another Day 1 again.
You too can achieve your goal of being finally free forever. Change your mind, change your habits, alter your focus, release the myths you hold about smoking. And above all - keep your sense of hewmer. DAY WON - NEVER ANOTHER DAY ONE.
If you still want one - you're still vulnerable. Protect your quit!
