Funding the page

While I really appreciate the ability to keep up with my loved one, and have personally donated $25 to support the page , it continues to state that we need to donate to caring bridge again, and that no one from her page has donated. Which I know to be false. We have her go fund me created and associated with her page and do not want to redirect her support at this time but your developers should really trigger the funding banner to sleep after a donation has been made unless your goal is to profit off of folks who are in health crisis. #DoBetter

Navigation needs to be improved.

I was invited late to my friend’s page. I want to read the previous posts. After reading an old post, when I navigate back, it takes me to the top of her page instead of where I navigated from. I then have to scroll down again to find where I started. Not user friendly navigation.

Gratitude

Caring Bridge has allowed me to stay abreast of ill friends and family that have medical issues. I also appreciate leaving a comment so they know I am thinking of them and that I care!

New format is terrible

I’m not sure what’s happening. I use CaringBridge for years in the past for my son and his medical journey and now I’m trying to read updates for different families I follow and it’s impossible and I do not see a way to update it or make it better. The update is completely blacked out and I can’t even read it. I am not even able to read my sons.
