I would like to know your opinion, what do you think would make this site better?

Don't be shy and if someone else names your thought before you can, agree with them so that I will know that more than one person thinks this way.

I appreciate it!!!

Hugs,

        Hello Shell, I've been adding a few things on my profile recently hoping to get some interaction from others on this site. I have not had any recent comments or added friends. I joined this site in hopes to meet others that understand me and my illness.  I added photos,wrote in journals and sent out friend request in hopes to start new communication from others.



                I get a little confused as to the way this site is set up. Not sure where to go exactly to see updates and so forth. Anyway just thought I would respond to your request. Thanks, Jenn

    Usually if someone responds you will get an email but we have been having random problems with that.  I can tell you for a fact that if you send a message or comment to Ethel Quinn, Satin Glass, Benia Zouras, Michelle Scarberry, Jennifer from New York,  or Sunny D, and of course me, you will get a response.  Then you can also go to the top of the screen and Browse questions, discussions, articles, etc and comment on what's already there or start a new one.  Your best bet as far as friends is the column on the right hand side of the page. It's where the most active are and then down a little farter you'll see more new people coming on.  Just ignore the Alex's, that is someone we seem to not be able to get rid of. 
    If you have more questions just let me know.  I get very busy on here so just send me a hug or a comment and I'll get back to you.

    Hugs,

    Add me to that also. I respond quickly to personal messages and need to be better at checking the comments on my profile. I did respond by personal message to Jennifer above. I think we really see things more quickly in questions and we need to keep our communities fresh. I have been trying to catch up with all the new people and write personal messages to each after reading their profiles. I have a new discussion going for introductions in Rejoining Life 101. And have been trying to get up to date in the other various communities. I'm very glad for Jennifers comment because it made me more aware. Thanks Jennifer.

    i have not been on as much lately as i was in the beginning.  what drew me was the health tracker.

    But it has become redundant.  Not really accurate when it comes to my reasons for feeling better or worse.  
    Also i have tried to participate in discussions. post polls, update profile, post pics, questions.

    What I find is that there is a disconnect.  chat hasn't worked well for me and back and for the e-mails are few and far in between.

    Any suggestions on how to be a better member or how to get more interaction would greatly be appreciated.  Are there any guidelines on how to use this site and get the most out of it?

    Some way for community/group members to be more interactive and get updates would be nice.  If there was a way to send out a group update and maybe a site notice of special events or discussions that might help keep the communities more active.  I noticed that many start out good but peter out quickly.

    Also, the little "start a chat" spot is too small and nearly invisible.  It almost looks like it is part of the 'Track your health' thing about if and is real easy to overlook.  Something that stands out more and maybe even shows who is in the room might work better.

    Hi Karen,



    I have brought both those ideas to Val's attention and they are supposed to be working on them for us. 



    My idea with the discussions is that we need to get an email when someone replies to a discussion that we want to follow.  But we only get one email until we read the discussion and then we'll get one more every time people respond.  That would keep the subject fresh and would take us right to the subject in the email.



    I have also said that the chat icon needs to be bigger and more noticeable.



    We are supposed to be updated on things on the home page and we are just now getting that started.



    Hopefully things will continue to get better if we all work together.



    Thanks for your thoughts.

    I wonder if people understand that it is hard for people to leave comments or interact when their profile is set to private.  People have to be on your friends list to be able to interact, and most people want to at least talk to you once or twice before adding you to a friends list.  I understand the desire for privacy, but its hard to make new friends from behind a closed door.

    Maybe some more flexible privacy options would help, right now its kind of all or nothing.

    I think what we Really need right now is a different form of joining the site!  This latest batch of spam members feels so much like Bot activity.... maybe a join set up that requires the input of the code letters or words would help weed out these idiot spammers???  Or else maybe a set up where new apps must be reviewed and approved before acceptance??
