Deterioration of "Your Life Choices"

Has "Your Life Choices" changed from being a responsible source of useful information for seniors into a purveyor of sensationalist clickbait, fraudulent advertising of junk products and superficial, often ill-informed, coverage of potentially important subjects?
Or have I just developed into an intolerant old fuddy duddy?

I don't disagree with you, Robinmy, especially with the "clickbait" headlines which, in a lot of articles, are totally misleading. There is a lot of good information, however, but there is also some one-sided articles that don't always give a balanced view or pertinent information is omitted. Like all advertising, unless it applies it is therefore considered useless so perhaps you could not read it? This forum appears to be very popular with those of the left and I do get annoyed with some of the comments especially those which are sprinkled with personal insults and obvious lies but that is not from the administration. May I respectfully suggest that you don't be self derogatory as I have found that there are enough contributors in here to do that for you.

The content doesn't irritate me as much as the countless glitches in the new format. None of which have been fixed as yet in my experience, despite many people I know on here contacting the YLC admin. Think most of the old posters in the Meeting Place have fled to greener/better pastures now. Shame.

Hi RnR - Can't agree with you more. The Meeting Place was a far better site to log into. It's a fluke that I am now able to log-in. Have written in to Admin. before but get no response. We are entitled to get an answer from Admin, c'mon people give up some hope that all will be rectified soon. Waiting in anticipation.

I will hang in here for a BIT longer -- but getting a bit over it all

I still pop in from time to time but have drifted back to an old forum that I used to visit regularly before discovering this one. I suspect it might be the same forum some on here have also drifted to. :)

Hi all,

As you are well aware, we are having technical issues on the new site. We are currently working through them and hope to have an improved forum soon. Please don't hesitate to contact either Drew or myself with feedback.

Cheers – and thank you for your patience.

Leon

Thanks Leon. Hope you succeed soon.

Too late, they’ve jumped ship and landed in the land of opportunity. They’ll be back tho with egg on face, ‘cos they don’t allow cussing, trolling and elderly delinquents over thar and from what I’ve heard some of them have already been rapped on the knuckle for not doing as told LOL

Leon, how long will this take -- it has been a darn LONG time so far -- and please can we have the choice of private messaging too -- why we had that taken off is ridiculous

Hi PlanB,

We are working on it. We removed private messaging because of abuse and spammers. We'd like to avoid exposing our members to either!

Cheers,

Leon

Hi Leon, I think we are all old enough to handle such as abuse -- we handle it on the forum anyway -- sometimes we need to give information to some people --privately

This forum is sTILL not working right -- when will it be fully on board?????

BTW this was supposed to be a reply to Leon

Hi PlanB,

We're very close to giving you what it seems you're after! In testing mode now. Thanks for your patience.

Reply to LeonYLC --- cause it wanted me to reply to Robinmy

I am STILL having trouble signing in to this forum and it is still not working right
