Thank you for reminding me I don't need to respond to your posts. Sometimes I want to. I've toldRead More you before I would under certain circumstances, which were met this time. Is that a problem for you? Complain to the Editor.
William Korn May 24, 2013 at 11:08 pm
The article I cited was last updated 28.5 hours before the time stamp on your post. That's one heckRead More of a "snag". You better complain to Ms. Hamlin about that.

korn, When I wrote the above comment it was fact. It did not post for a while do to some snag. TheyRead More changed the order afterword. Your continued ignorance of subjects while calling me names with every post is old. You don't need to respond to me anymore

Hey, Marty. I just got a message from Henry's parents...He was found safe and sound!!! YAY!!! I willRead More let him know about your kittens :) Meeeow

When the photo is clicked the screen turns dark, and unresponsive. The page has to be closed, andRead More then open a new one. I hope you find your cat. When you do, if you want to add..... I have kittens. one of which looks a lot like the one you show.

It appears the revamp removed participants.

Jessica, I am glad to see the story is different from the original article I read. Once I see theRead More picture of your beautiful face on Patch news, I know everything is going to be O.K.

For crying out loud! You can't even spell "secede" and you want to run your own state?

Caution - use of this device could cause lasting knee injury. Just sayin...

Thanks again for all the feedback. The photo banner is distracting? How so? And I just postedRead More something last night and the site is updated daily so I am interested in what "old" articles means. Though the commenting stream is not here, the commenting process is still the same and just as easy, so share and comment away. :) Thanks!

I agree with Lisa. The home page is a mess. The distracting big banner at the top needs to go, orRead More perhaps the way the rest of the page is inset into it. It's a major design fail. Plus there's very little up-to-date news, the articles are old, and I can't be bothered to search through the blogs and boards, interesting though they may be. Thank goodness Altadenblog is still there. It's now my go-to site for current Altadena news.
SteveB May 23, 2013 at 12:03 pm
I think the main issue is the lack of the comment stream - you could see what people were talkingRead More about, and you were often drawn in - and could find the article simply by clicking on the comment. It was the main advantage AltadenaPatch had over AltadenaBlog - much more engaging. No more.
Jessica Hamlin (Editor) May 21, 2013 at 11:16 am
That was a bug that has been worked out I believe, but thank you for the feedback. I appreciate yourRead More patience with our growing pains as part of our easier new layout.
Buzlightyear aka marty May 16, 2013 at 10:05 pm
No. no emails here. But it does look like everyone "has left the building". No one isRead More commenting since the changed. perhaps everyone is shell-shocked.

Thanks Jessica for posting my ad, you have helped in more ways then you know.
Jessica Hamlin (Editor) March 6, 2013 at 05:54 pm
Great to hear! Glad your dog is home.
Bridgette Braxton March 6, 2013 at 05:08 pm
Thank you everyone Dakota is now at home.
