Hi Dawn!

After the election, I moved on to change.org and then to whitehouse.gov. I haven't tried to utilize this site for a long time but stopped back tonight to see if it was still working. I have tried to send a message to an old contact; the functions were slow but the message seemed to have been sent. I then checked some old groups for activity. There isn't much but I successfully commented on one recent post. After seeing your post, I tried "View All Blogs" and it doesn't work for me either.

Barackobama.com enabled some remarkable networking functionality which is not replicated in YouTube's comment utility for whitehouse.gov. Nevertheless, I don't know whether Organizing For America can, should, or will try to rekindle the fervor of the campaign site. The old site did have an incipient interactive tool for recommendations and trouble reports from users. You could try the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of any of these site pages. Maybe the current administrators are just not aware that "View All Blogs" is not functioning and maybe, now that the election is over, they may have the time to respond to your recommendation for a fix.

Thanks for your post.

Viewing of the Community Blog | Report to Admin

Since the DNC took over this site in January NO ONE has been monitoring/managing the objectionable material and SPAM posted to this site.

I recently found a O-dashboard that had a objectionable photo on it so I have been emailing/writing to HQ, WhiteHouse.gov and the DNC to please either clean up the site because it is ruining this site integrity and no to mention Obama's good name. I think that someone finally took notice and shut down the viewing of the community blogs which has cut down the amount of SPAM and obejctionable postings from non-Obama people. You can still see posts in the individual groups that you are a member of.

Each post has a "Report Objectionable Content" button and each comment has a "Report to Admin" button. When the campaign site was very active, these buttons usually resulted in quick zapping of hateful or profane submissions.

I always found "View All Blogs" to be a very useful tool because it allowed me to welcome people who were getting started on the site and had not yet joined any groups; also to interact with people whom I hadn't met but were currently active. It seems, with the currently low activity level, this function would be especially helpful.

Content on blogs in My.BarackObama represents the opinions of community members and in no way should be interpreted as endorsed or approved by the campaign.
