@RideaRainbow

your dashboard (now called your progress path) is your home page when logged in.

To get there you can click the teacup in the upper-left, or choose the My Path menu and select My Progress Path.

Hi, since you have redone the website which looks great, could you do the same for the app? The app is quite laggy and doesn't have the same features as the website, but the app is still very good!

Thanks x

This new design feels more lively, somehow, but I'm still taking some time to get used to it. If I could make a humble and friendly suggestion, I believe the profile pages are much too "white", now...maybe if our pictures were a little bigger, or if we could use a background banner or something, I don''t know...to let some more color in would probably make it feel more comfortable, welcoming. Maybe it's just me, but it feels kinda "cold" and impersonal like it is right now. Not bad, the distribution of things seems really nice, and the roundness spread with the font and borders feel really welcoming...but I still miss a bit of the old design's "lots of color" everywhere laugh Keep up the great work! heart

Thanks for the attention and consideration, @KrinkTheMellowUnicorn . It's good to know what we think is considered and matters, even if we're not too present or involved in the community, sometimes. This place has changed my life in so little time, and I hope to keep contributing and growing with it much more. Congratulations for the achievements, and thanks once again! wink

Hi the new design is really hard to read. Some my members/guests can't see my messages or their own message while typing, I'm pretty sure that's on mobile browser. I don't see but three written reviews and no number of star reviews. The text is too light in many places and it is very uncomfortable to look at. I heard we can be seen by members and guests even if says is of offline. Trying to use chatroom from safari browser on iPhone it doesn't even seem to have a send button or show my listener name or peer support badge to me anyway. I think it's exciting to be updating and growing. I'm sure these will all get either out! Thank you for all the love and hard work that' got put into this. 💞❤️

Plus, I'd like to point that there is no menu to return from the Notes page. I kinda liked the way it was a pop-up before and, even though it's not really a problem in itself that it is now a page like the others, the fact that I can only return to the site by using the browser's return button is not really much comfortable. If it will remain as a non-pop-up page, could at least keep the upper menu (blue bar) above, I think smiley

I noticed there's a little thing that says "your cup is half/completely full", I was wondering what effects that?

@TabbyPhoenix

This cup symbolizes your internal resources based on the care you are taking of yourself. The goal is to keep your cup full.

If you take a step on your growth path, your cup gets more full. It can be half full, nearly full (3/4) or full (steaming :D).

If you go a day without taking a step, it drops down a level again.

It never gets less than half full.

We are optimists. :D

also, over time if you are consistent it will congratulate you for longer and longer streaks of consistency (days in a row), in a way kind of like the chips people get for days of sobriety in twelve-step programs.

I think the update to the site is very interesting, I am realizing it is having some issues with the colors though, on the screen for the depression test I had someone tell me that they appear white on a white background and were not able to see it unless they highlighted the letters, also this color scheme is very bright which my not be the best for people who are having anxiety attacks, maybe make the white background a slightly darker color, all this white is actually stressing me out as well, it is very bright and in your face. Overall though the update seems interesting and more user friendly. Great job! smileyyes

@RideaRainbow to get into your dashboard you click on the tea cup on the top left hand corner (i think, im on my ipad so it might be different on the computer) then click on the 1-1 , and you will see your last 3 conversations, if you want to see more than that I think you have to go into conversations. I presume this is a glitch and thats it's being worked on.

I have to say I love the new format in the chats as i find it so much easier to read, as the old black and white colours and format was really an issue for me and i found long messages a struggle to concentrate on due to my dyslexia.

However I know this view isn't held by everyone and I have members who feel it looks alot like skype format and really dislike it.

I have also noticed that as of yet anytime I click on latest in the forums it bring to the browse listeners screen. And i wonder too is the numbers of review you have been given going to always be hidden from now in or is that just a glitch at the moment too?

overall I like it and it's made things easier for me, thank you so much :)

in the top right you should see your profile image in a circle with a dot on its edge. Click that or the down-arrowhead next to it to change your status.
