Re: Welcome to the new Forum!

Thanks, Sam for starting this new forum.  I hope all the others find it soon.  I think I am having withdrawals, haha.  Seriously though, I am missing the support.

Sam:

It's a shame if all the past posts from the old forum are lost - or are you able to restore them?  In any case, this looks to be more modern and more organized with more options, so cheers for that.  Good luck, I know it's not easy to switch technologies all of a sudden, when it wasn't planned.

Maybe on the home page, though, there could be an announcement or explanation of what happened and how to find the new forum?  I too was starting to have withdrawals, and it took a little digging around to find this. I'm sure there must be many others wondering what happened and how to find this.  I really do like what I see so far.

Byron,

I'm trying to get them to put a notice up on the SSN home page, they did fix most of the links.

I had no notice of the old forum going dark so I was unable to save anything.

Re: Welcome to the new Forum!

Found it.... 
Not surprised to hear that voy evaporated without warning, while trying to figure out what happened I found many dissatisfied users complaining about zero support or responses to problems, etc.

This looks like a better message board app so maybe now we can get stickies and other good stuff like that.
Some of the old users had cut and pastes of great posts so maybe we will get some of that retrieved.

Re: Welcome to the new Forum!

Hey..yeah Voy kept saying they were having "upstream" problems but it must be something else because no provider keeps their customers off the air for 2 weeks.

Re: Welcome to the new Forum!

HI! Am new and so happy to have found a online support group for the partners Im hoping to connect and read about those who are still together ..during transitioning and after..how man-years ..how was it like. My husband is in transition, i have been noticing he is quite like a rebellious teenager sometimes. We love and are loyal to each other. Im hopeful to read advise on how to stay level headed during this time..as i am argueing with him so often.
