    Hello Everyone,

    We just updated the Forum software. You will probably notice a lot of changes (old smilies are back! , new post icons, you can actually use the attachment feature (finally!!!!!!), the updated "Donate" link at the top, etc.).

    I hope this helps and thank you very much for your patience!

    Mine is doing the same, it is also not going to the newest post when I click on it. Instead I have to scroll and find the newest (that makes me sound super lazy, huh?)

    I was also going to ask the same question about the mobile site disappearing, as I often check in throughout the day on my iPhone.

    Diagnosed 6 years ago (at age 30) with multi-level DDD of the C-spine
    Have had numerous epidurals, nerve root injections, PT, etc.
    Severe stenosis and cord compression at C5-6 and C6-7 -- also have herniations and stenosis at levels above
    After much deliberation, decided to have a two-level fusion (5/6 and 6/7) on 1/25/11
    Recovery has been rough so far, but trying to stay positive

    Thanks for letting me know about the Mobile Version of the website. I will look into this ASAP. A few of our unique settings were reverted back to default settings during the upgrade.

    We'll get this squared away soon.

    Happy Valentines Day!

    The Mobile Version of the website is now fully functional. We updated a new version that is more user-friendly and has a better looking layout.

    Enjoy!
