My journey

[Katie Ellen]

Wow! I don't understand all of the technical web site stuff. I come and go here. Looks like my progress is totally gone? Oh well! Sorry to see this.

Katie, welcome back to Susan's Place and the Forums!

A lot has probably changed since you were here last, even if it was just last week! We've been working hard to put the pieces back together, but almost everything from the end of May 2019 through 2023 were lost. Please review the links at the end of this message, they include information which will help you navigate the site and use the available features.

Dear Katie Ellen:
I am so very glad to see that you have successfully been able to
get back onto the Forum.

Yes indeed, the big New Year's Day site crash took out many of our
member accounts, postings, private messages, etc... 

You will notice that the Forum is not quite the same as it was. 
Navigating around the site will take some time to get used to.
The site came back as it was 3 or 4 years earlier so many of the piece by piece
improvements and updates that our staff had performed in the last few years
were also missing.

The staff has been working overtime to put the pieces back together but
that will be an ongoing task for a while longer.
I advise you to find your way to  ANNOUNCEMENTS
                            https://www.susans.org/index.php/board,2.0.html
You will be able to read what went on before and after the crash .... and some
of the changes that are taking place with the Forum.

Well, the GOOD NEWS and a positive way to look at all of this is that we all
got a "Do-Over" button ... so, for many that means a fresh start.

AGAIN, WELCOME BACK,
HUGS, Danielle
