Hi

Is anyone else having problems with the site?  For about a week now I'm getting no notifications in my email inbox [eek]

I come on and and search around but I'm sure I'm missing things so if anyone thinks I'm not answering thats why!!!

Is there anyone I can contact to tell them......I've looked around and cant see anything, gone through the faq's etc  HELP please  [wink]

Love

    Hi Eileen, 

    i am not experiencing any problems so far. However, some days I get so many new posts that I don't have time to go into them. Also, some I have nothing to add. If you are not getting anything have you checked your settings? Maybe a software upgrade for example has altered something. 

    Hope you get it sorted out.

    regards

    Sue

      Hi Sue

      Yes.....checkedm my settings

      I even unticked them all and re-ticked them {if that makes sensebiggrin} but no differencecry

      I know what you mean about so many posts.....I use to struggle to answer everything and then I thought.....the site is very quiet but then realised nothing was coming through.

      I dont know how to get in touch with a moderator or anyone to report this.

      If you think of anyone......let me know please

      Love

      Hi

      Thanks for the reply Whalie

      This has never happened to me before here......it freezes every now and then but this is much worse.

      I find it weird that there doesnt seem to be anyone to get in touch with

      Every other site/forum I'm on you know who to get in touch with.....even if its not the right person they point you in the right direction.

      Moderators are about because the cancel posts so why cant we get them

      I know ....not expection you to answer those questions....I'm just ranting cheesygrin

      Love

      Totally understand the rant! It is annoying that there's no contact address...weird. I mentioned the moderator a) because we know they are around, as you say; b) because I thought mentioning them might prompt one to help you.... Asking too much methinks...

      good luck

      Hi Beryl

      It says unfollow this discussion at the top of the thread

      So you think its a possiblity that if I click on that it might work????

      I suppose if it doesnt i can always follow it again

      Thanks....anything is worth a try

      Love

    Hi Eileen,  I had trouble about a month ago where I was not receiving messages...I could not resolve the problem so I rejoined using another email address I sometimes use and now get messages...but still sometimes I answer only to have the space go blank and I have to retype everything over again (needless to say the second time my response is shorter!)

    I tried that facebook hip replacement site mentioned here but it didn't seem to give much info (maybe there are a couple out there and I got the wrong one).

    Hope you are well otherwise...getting colder here in Toronto, with snow the other day! Not looking for my first winter with new hip - may have to hibernate until spring!!!

      Hi Patricis

      Thanks for the help........I do have another email that I rarely use but tried to get into it the other day and couldnt eek

      I'll need to start a completly new one if I'm doing that.

      It would be wort a try.  I thought someone else {couldnt remember who} had had the same problem. I know there are lots of problems like freezing etc but this is so annoying.

      I havent looked for the facebookone to be honest ....not yet.

      Yes its getting colder here as well.......no snow in the UK yet thank goodness.

      Like you I'm not looking forward to my first winter........only its mine with crutches......I have visions of falling!!! Might join you in hibernationbiggrin

      How are you? apart from not looking forward to your fist winter....hope you are OK

      Love

      Patricis that's  what I did joined the Facebook hip replacement and that's when I stoped receiveing the emails from this one. So I think this is why so like you said it was not very good so I stoped following it and like magic  I stared to receive emails from this one again

      Hi Eileen,  Just trying to watch tv,but nothing on...don' t know how it is in the uk but over here we have to pay for cable, mine is basic but still $l00 a month and it seems it is all crap on or reruns!  My daughter got me netflix so I will have to give it a try!

      My leg was doing soooooo good, started driving, doing errands and all ok...then (and I only have myself to blame) I started to carry my l2 pound poodle up and down the stairs to go to bed at night and get up in the morning (he is blind and deaf and cant do stairs)...well I tore one of the muscles that wrap from side of knee to above knee...back to physio and knee brace!

      I will know for next time - I'm to get my left hip done next summer!

      Such a shame reading some stories on this site where people, like yourself, have had such setbacks, some permanently...it is such a lottery this surgery!

      Maybe will try reading for awhile ..have to stay awake to take dog out at ll:00 otherwise I would be in bed at 9:00.

      Have a lovely Sunday!

      Hi Beryl, I did join the facebook page yesterday and it is very good....there seem to be more americans on it and they health/physio system seems closer to ours so I can relate more to the doctor/patient relationship and system than in the uk, but really it is the advice I'm received here on patient uk that is great....so many caring and supportive people!

      Hi Patricis

      TV is a load of rubbish over here most nights!!!!!

      That is uch a pity that you were doing so well and then suddenly almost back to square one

      As I was reading your post I thought .....hoqw daft carrying her dog up and down stairs when she is not fully recovered but as I read on I now understand

      What do you call your poodle......its such a shame being blind and deaf

      How did you cope at the beginning.....I take it you wern't carrying him then?

      What will you do with him after your next operation?

      Or more to the point what happens now?

      I'm sorry i'm being no help....just asking loads of questions.

      Have a lovely Sunday......its 7am Sunday here not sure of your time difference

      Love
