        Miriam Kadosh, I joined back in 2013 the MRF forum which used to be active and current and great place to go for information. A few years back there was a similar rebrand/change that destroyed the forum. I have no idea if your new changes will bring it back to life, but if I could suggest being able to find the patient forum should be front and center of MRF. If you ask some one who has never seen the site to find the forum and it is difficult then the forum will not come back to life. I spend most of my time on “Melanoma stage 4 support group” on facebook which as a comparison of this site has over 5000 members, not all active but dozens of posts each week and new member sadly joining all the time. I had to go almost to the bottom of the new page site to find patient forum, how many people coming to the new site would go that far?

          Thank you, Ed. As a heads up, we are moving up the patient forum to be higher up on the homepage with greater visibility. Additionally, the Patient Forum is linked under [Patient Care] as a dropdown option. If there is any other feedback on how we can continue to make sure this forum is thriving please do reach out to me at [email protected].

              Miriam Kadosh, I think the verdict is in on how the new site has become not usable by the general public. Over the time period from this post being put up no one has posted. On the facebook stage 4 group that I joined as this site slowly died, there have been a few hundred new members in this same time period with several post’s per day asking questions about dealing with stage 4 melanoma. I do not think it is rocket science to realize the format is not working!!!
