First and foremost:

There used to be a place you could click on the latest discussions tab that would show you all discussions in reverse chronological order (latest one first.) Now you can only see the five most recent. Some perfectly good discussions go languishing because nobody knows they've been started (the one with the favorite quotes comes to mind.)

It would be nice if you could see who was online at any given time.

It would be nice if you could reply to replies, rather than having to reply to the original comment and identifying what you are replying to.

But keep up the good work!

CarolIT, you rock! I started the favorite quotes thread and I also lamented it's transparency at times <G>

Who is online, or at least how many members would be really nice. I'm not asking for an online chat room (I'm not?) but other forums like softpedia at http://board.softpedia.com/index.php? seems to run a pretty successful online presence script... FWIW

This is a great idea for an idea/Eureka! suggestion Board... who said we mid-lifers can't flash Young Turkdom once in a while?

Hey Sunspot Guy

I really like the "HOT TUB" Chat Room idea.

As you can see from my picture that I sorta like hot tubs....mine was so hot it dried up and a cactus popped up.

But I really would like a steamy bubbly hot conversation every now and then.

Meow!

Yay! Absolutely excellent suggestions. Love the 'show all discussions/Q&As' idea and I'd love the ability to reply to ALL posts, not just the original post.

Mostly, though, I would love the ability to 'show all discussions/Q&As'. I know this sounds pathetic, but I haven't been able to follow a question or discussion since the format changed. I basically stick to my groups and whatever shows up on the home page, and occasionally go exploring just to see what else is out there. I just accept that I'll never find (whatever) again, lol...

Really, though, I shouldn't complain 'cause I think it's mostly me. I think I need remedial site navigation training. In my defense, I have ADHD so organization is not exactly my strong point, but I freely admit it's still pretty sad. I swear I can't quite figure out how to organize things in a way that makes sense to me. Anyone have any advice?

Ditto to CarolT and Erica Curci. I am also having trouble keeping track of threads and in finding things. I've set lots of alerts, but that's really a cumbersome workaround. I also agree with those who've said that this is a great site to hang out on. If you can keep the attitude you guys have about asking for and accepting feedback, we'll all keep hangin' out here.
