Glad you posted that. Just got one and thought I must have clicked something.Is everyone suddenly getting advertisements on their screens? Large, moving advertisements, apparently based on google search history but possibly also on the theme of the forum?
Right now I'm having one on sailing (see screenshot below), which obviously fits with my daily life, but I've also had a couple on sports supplements and vitamins and such, and I'm very sure I've never googled on things like that.

Its the flashing, movement and positioning that's affecting meBefore anyone comments about this being a free site so we shouldn't complain, many of us give lots of our time freely to help, support and inform. The forum wouldn't work without us. It's a reciprocal symbiotic relationship.
You are very lucky to have the view of such a beautiful site.It works well the Chrome browser wth Android 12 and Chrome OS Version 101.0.4951.72
Best of all the upgrads I can finally post videos from imgur, plus other sites than the two we had before .
I can now go back to bed.

I am happy to have a go at this but I have to confess I'm struggling with the forum changes at the minute. First thoughts are that it's no use having a 50 page manual, or putting it all on videos. You can't use videos as a quick reference and the only way a lenghty manual could function is by using links within the document. That's a big task and dosn't answer the problem of not knowing what you're looking for. I don't think in any case that people seem to be asking for a complete guide to the forum. Two A4 pages, covering getting started, how to do the most obvious things, where to find additional info, links to rules etc. Then build it up gradually if needed.This sounds like a brilliant idea!
We do have the old instructional videos (https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/forum-beginners-video-guides.51729/) but they are pretty much outdated after the last forum update.
Making new videos would be very hard, short term, but a sticky thread in Greetings and Introductions outlining the way the forum works should be doable and very useful!
Making this thread with a group of people who are both very familiar with the forum and have experience with this kind of stuff makes a lot of sense, and we could do is a lot better and quicker using the knowledge and experience of people who are good at this, and not just trying to do it within the mod team.
@jjraak , would you be willing to set up a working thread in General Chat where everyone who wants to can help building a 'How to forum manual'?
I'd be happy to be part of the group (even though I fear I'm a tad too disorganised to write such a manual myself, I'm sure I can be of help), and I think @KennyA would be very good at this.
I'll take this to the thread on the manual, as it isn't related to the forum changes. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/developing-a-forum-how-to.190847/I am happy to have a go at this but I have to confess I'm struggling with the forum changes at the minute.

Main consideration is that I will be wandering around a bit for the next three weeks so realistically nothing much will get done (by me anyway) until October.
So do I!!! Thought I’d pressed something I shouldn’t have for a minute until I found this threadI could live with those (although obviously nicer without), but the moving/flashing ones need to go.
Apparently I need a Dexcom!
