We just pushed a big update — here's what changed v2.3

March 13, 2026··
Hey everyone — a few things to share. We launched a new landing page, and more importantly, we think we've fixed the freezing issue some of you were running into when posting. It's been annoying us too. If you hit it again, please let us know. We're also building out the new landing page with real community voices — if this space has helped you in any way, drop a review or testimonial below. We'll feature it there. It goes a long way for people who are just finding us.

I'm getting the spinning loading icon appearing indefinitely sometimes, but if I refresh the page the forum loads ok, using the latest Firefox on Window 10. It seems to be a firefox only issue, chrome is working fine. Firefox is known for strange issues recently however, we had some government sites having big problems, so unsure if it's worth investing in a fix or not specific to firefox.

Pristiq — 30mg — 17 Years — holding | Seroquel — 400mg — 17 Years — holding | Valium — 2mg once or twice a week — 10 years — supporting others | other — Modafinil 200mg — 3 Months — supporting others | with clinician
