    I have received great advice when contacting you and some of the information posted by others really helpful, sometimes it is nice to know you are not alone and the only one experiencing certain things. As for the sports I have no interest and just flit past them, but do appreciate others are interested and you cater for everyone. Best advice I can give is .. Don't fix what isn't broken

    I think the idea upthread of a navigation video is a great one. On our local SEND website they are working on just that as the site is getting very big, great in lots of ways as loads of information but harder to find exactly what you want. A video wouldn't have to be long and could really encourage people in.

    I think using more common understandable language would help.

    Sometimes, the site and online community section can be confusing because it is trying to be ‘modern’. I admire how MIND deliver their online community service, with Elefriends. (It’s a friendly elephant, don’t ask) But it feels like it would be very safe there.

    Maybe help and advice could be given to those about particular job or career choices depending on their disability. For example; I cannot walk, or stand, for longer than a period of time, which is decreasing as I age.

    I would like good solid advice, after being made redundant, as to my next next step, within the world of work. Maybe there are others in the same position?

    Hi @callumchilled Thanks for your feedback, could you give a couple of examples so I can understand where we can improve?

    Things like trying to find conversations you’ve taken part in. The @ thing. The # thing. I like how simple the MIND system seems to be. You have a general tab, and a your feed tab. They also have little buttons for like, thinking about someone, and saying I hear you. They also have videos showing you how to use the site safely.

    I'm still finding the forum a little tricky to get round and navigate, especially with brain fuzz/fog. It looks very different on my tablet, everything is small text. When I log on, this is what I'm seeing. I'd like 'grouos' to be much bigger, not just in text etc
