BCC forums are open again

As you will notice, we have opened the forums again. We closed them last week to enable us to move to our new website. Unfortunately we had a lot of problems along the way, which meant that we had to keep the forums closed for longer than we had antici...

Site not functioning properly on Android phone today

Hi Guys, Today, I couldn't log in on my Android phone as the: - "sign in / Hi Username / log out" text on the pink header bar is absent. I had to click on "community" and log in then click on "latest posts" every single time. It's OK on my Macbook.

Rebookmarking? Sloooow server??

I see that the URL is now "...share.breastcancercare..." Do I need to rebookmark this site? And is this why the server is still slow to load pages? Or is it me :(

Why is it so hard to get in to the discussion board now?

Okay this is my second attempt to post this. Your new front page is very pretty, if you aren't totally fed up with PINK. However the quick links from that page allow you to do two things easily: neither of which are what I want to do. I don't want to...

I think the squirrel-murdering cat needs to be allowed to sleep and not have to perform as my avatar, but I can't get a new picture to upload. Is there a file size limit, either by kb or pixels? Or some other limitation I've forgotten about? Ta.

Who is logged in?

I notice when I log in the number of people who are already on line comes up. Is there anyway you can find out who is on line at that time to allow a direct post to be sent to them. Many thanks.

Kelly, you must be climbing the walls! I had similar, with appointments rescheduled about 3 times before I was told anything. This is the worst bit, so hopefully the results you get tomorrow will be worth waiting for. Best of luck CM x
