Welcome to Open Post, the weekly Mamamia post where the editorial team don’t choose the topic – you do.
You can talk about whatever you like. You can share a story, ask for advice, put some questions to our team or simply sticky beak on what everyone else is up to by reading the comments.
Today we’re doing website administration. You may have noticed that the comments section of Mamamia looks a little different this morning. That’s because we’re implementing a new system, which will be faster and simpler to use.
In particular, the new system will allow you to log in via social media (with your Twitter or Facebook account) and leave a comment under your own name. This means you will not longer have to go through the fuss of creating a Mamamia-specific user profile and hopefully, we’ll have less ‘anonymous’ comments.
If you already had a Mamamia profile – never fear – it still exists! You may however have lost your profile photo in the move to the new system. If you have, then we apologise for that small annoyance! You’ll just need to log in and re-add the picture.
That’s all from us for now. If you have any problems with the new system, please just add your concerns to the comments section below and we will keep an eye out. We’ll try and help you out.
UPDATE:
Hi everyone, we’ve had a lot of questions about how to update profiles. We’ve asked our super smart tech people, and the answer is that we’ll add the ‘settings’ link back in the header in next couple of days, where you will be able to update your pictures and other settings.
Alternatively, you can just use the social login buttons in the comment box, or set their profile picture using gravatar.com service.
Thanks for bearing with us while we make this change!
Over to you. What’s happening in your world?

This November marks two years that I've been unemployed since I was made redundant. It's not an anniversary I'm proud of, and one that I don't want to reach. It's not through lack of trying, I keep applying for jobs, and keep getting rejected. "Not enough experience", "too much experience". So what am I meant to do?
Are there any MM readers out there who would be willing to give me a chance? I'm currently based in Melbourne, although I wouldn't rule out moving interstate for a job. Some days I cry, other days are better, but it does get to me. I planned to buy a house at this stage of my life and also pay for my parents to take a trip around Australia (while they still can).
Please consider me.
Hi all. I need some work advice. I'm just shy of 40 and have built up quite a good career. Recently I started a new job along with two other team members - both late 20's guys. The two guys have bonded with each other but don't seem to be comfortable working with me. I am assertive and experienced and will express an opinion if asked, however my style has been met with a wierd reaction. I know they speak to eachother and recently one of them spoke to the boss about me - I was then called in and asked why I had a problem with the two guys. Now, I am genuinely confused as to how my manner - a normal, professional, assertive one - could possibly be interpreted as anything but just a professional doing their job. I am starting to feel quite undermined and defensive. Does anyone have any ideas about how to work with younger men? I have never had this problem before in all of my career.
