The forum seems to have lost its way with very few new posts being added of late and those that have been posted are mainly about the new website layout. It seems to me that the loss of the 'Latest' facility is much to blame.   I for one applaud many of the changes but I do find it frustrating that here on the forum I have to scroll up and down and often having to go into the sections searching for the latest postings. As a result I am less inclined to visit the forum so can I please plead with the team to bring back this facility which is so sorely missed. 
Hear hear Michael, although the forum does have arid spells now and then. I think perhaps all the changes have concentrated the mind on finding our way around the new site. I’m sure once all the little glitches have been addressed, and we feel more at home, normal service will be resumed. Now I’m desperately trying to think of a sensible new thread to start! Tessa

Painters-Online Team on 03/10/2019 08:29:29 Brilliant - thanks POL team.
HELP NEEDED Over the last three weeks I have tried three times  to contact P O staff. Once the web tech people and twice Dawn. No answer to date. All I can see on my web page is the editing page. So if you are looking in P O I would be grateful if you can fix this problem. Thank you.
Is it me being obtuseness? More than probably.  But I keep having to log in over and over.  Then it won’t let me, it also asks if I want remembering for a week...what’s that all about.  So if I come and go that’s why, grrrrrr.
Sylvia, this happens to me too - I've just had to log in now, when I didn't log out last time. "Remember me for a week " too, plus my e mail is not an e mail, it's "Marjorie". I haven't contacted anyone, I assumed it would be sorted. I'll e mail Dawn about it.
Maybe we are only logged-in for a few hours? Some sites ask how long you want to remain. Maybe being asked to be, remembered for a week, keeps you signed for that length of time?? I prefer logging out and in, so I haven't tried that feature, but I can't imagine it would be there for any other reason.  
When I look at "my art", except for the latest postings, every work in all my other galleries are dated '31 March 2015' and all the comments are gone. If that is true, I must have posted hundreds of works on that day!!!!! Is anyone having the same problem? It would be nice to have at least my comments back and the postings being in a chronological order with the right date of posting. Now it is very difficult to find a particular work back. :)  Mia
Mia I just looked and don’t have the date problem, but I have no “likes” at all ( yes I have had a few over the years!). I also find it irritating to have to keep logging in Sylvia, which I didn’t have to do before. Ok if it’s a security thing but it seems random and the remember for a week doesn’t appear to work. 
Usually a day Tessa. But I don’t understand why it’s needed at all.
I logged in when the new website launched, and have never had to log in since! I don’t understand why we are getting these discrepancies!
