Hi everyone,
My name's Ellen and I work on the Community team here at Macmillan.
You might notice a minor change to the layout of your group homepage. We've included a new function where users can see the latest posts in this group. It looks like this:
The reason we've included this, is that we are going to be doing some testing to see if this function is helpful, and if it works well for our users. It'll only be here temporarily, and the testing will not affect anything in your group, and it will not affect the way you use the group. We will be using anonymous testers, so you shouldn't see any disruption to your posts either.
If you did want to have a look, and offer your thoughts about the function, we'd be really keen to hear them. Feel free to comment below this post to let us know if you find the function helpful, and what you like or don't like about the way the feature works.
If anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to post below, or email me directly on community@macmillan.org.uk.
Best wishes,
Ellen

Hi Ellen - Macmillan. There looks to be a lot of posts! I often scroll to the bottom of the page to use the Information and Support link to add things into posts but I couldn’t get there! Is there perhaps there’s an easier option that I’m missing?
Hey Kareno62,
Very good point! I hadn't spotted that.
I've changed the settings so that it doesn't automatically load more content, so you should be able to scroll past it now. I've also reduced the amount of content that it shows, so it's only 3 things at a time.
Could you have a look and let me know if that's any better?
Also - if that's a link you like to use a lot, that's helpful to the group, we could put in a link on the side to the relevant pages, so it's always there for people?
Best wishes,
Ellen
Hi @Ellen - Macmillan. Yes that’s great thanks. I tend to copy and paste the phone number for the nurses on the board on quite a few posts - although don’t tell them it’s me if they’re rushed off their feet!
Only just spotted it ! I must stop scrolling after the last post !
We shall give it a go !
