Hi all,

I have just replied to a post and got a flash up that I might need to dial 999 or Samaritans for help as I used a word to cause alarm in my post!!! 

Whatever have they done to this site! I didn't think I sounded depressed or like I am desperate for help!!!! 

I am pretty together and moving forward. Weird and very off putting. Please can we have our old chat back!!!

  • Hi,

    My name’s Tom and I’m also a part of the Community team here at Macmillan.

    We wanted to be clear that our safeguarding pop-up is there to protect our most vulnerable members. You may see it, even though it does not apply to you, because it is automatic. However, it is there to make sure those who really need it, do get the information.  

    Your posts are not kept off the site at all by the pop-up.

    We always want our members to feel free to express their feelings and find support from others who may be facing something similar. As long as they are mindful of our Community Guidelines.

    The changes made to the site were made with members feedback at heart. Below is a link to our Macmillan feedback form, should you wish to raise your concerns further:

    https://www.macmillan.org.uk/about-us/contact-us/complaints-and-concerns.html?_ga=2.137968691.2097968234.1597996164-1491149430.1597996164

    We aren’t finished updating the site and we will continue to work towards the best possible platform we can, to support people affected by cancer.

    Kindest Regards,

    Tom

  • It is a bother at times when I have obviously logged in then want to reply to something and a message pops up saying 'log in to reply' (or some thing like that)I then can only get back on using a slightly different password!!!

    I think I put something along the lines of "the isolation is killing me" and that word triggers the helpline numbers. It does detract from the old feeling of communicating with friends, though, making it quite clear we are being monitored. Booo!
