For some reason, they have decided to replace that with links to services that only paying members can use. One more glaring mistake is the omission of the link to support FetLife. I have noted a lot of complaints from Blackberry users in particular. They all do not all show up on one screen, and it is almost impossible to use on a mobile device. Why John, why? I am in soooo many groups. But now the groups you are a member of are all in a scroll bar. The groups you lead, as you will notice in the picture above are all nicely laid out, like the old feed was. I also have a major functional issue with the new group listing to the side. I particularly do not like the layout of the sidebar, the font size is too small, particularly for us older members. The layout of this design reminded me of a Visual Studio design, and that is no compliment. Normally John Baku shows a great deal of care and love for a site design. Now where did they go wrong? Well frankly this was the ugliest update that I have seen to date on their site. Again, this is a pay for play feature, so I have no real opinion on this. You can also customize your feed where you may only want to see group activities, or you don’t want to see writings. This allows you to put friends who overshare, or who wanted to follow you (but you didn’t care if you saw their stuff) in a kind of timeout, where you don’t see their stuff. The next thing I like, at least in theory (it is only available to premium paying members so I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet), is the gag feature. Might be better if they were a little brighter, but overall they are an improvement over the old one off to the side. They moved them underneath the status bar. ![]() ![]() I also like the change of placement for the upload links. That means that when you scroll down, you don’t have to click to continue. The first thing that I like is that we now have continuous feed. (As if any of my FetLife friends are innocent, LOL.) Before I launch into the negatives, lets talk about what they got right. I have made some changes to the graphics to protect the innocent. OK, I am giving my ideas about the FetLife feed on my own page.
