I'm still looking for the idividual ignore button that allows me to ignore someone if I want yet everyone else can still see them if they want...

how about inches...how many inches I've lost.

Implement BoIP... it is needed from time to time =D

i track everything by days. days without fighting with my husband, days without having an angry outburst, the number of days withOUT a migraine sounds nice too or the numbers of days some of my friends haven't cut.

it would also be cool to have picture comments available as well as more than the sad and happy faces like maybe a confused, angry or in love face. =]

thanks for all your hardwork. my life has totally changed since i came here in november. i am able to help people now also. i will be a member for life- even when i am completly better.
love and hugs, meg

Being able to move your pics around or add or change captions without having to delete the pic would be awesome! I'll have to think about the goal thing! Thanks!

Doug I would like to state this very very openly and seriously with you. I have been a bulimic since I was sixteen years old. It would be an extreamly bad idea to put up weight tracking because of the eating disorders board. I have been a memeber there and some of these people are still struggling very hard with their eating disorder.

I would like to see the moods change though. There are times like today when I just cant have my total feelings explained with bad and horrible. Its more complicated then that.

There needs to be a site for protecting our young members and I mean young from troubled ,sick people, hiding behind their friendly mask that want to peer in and get a hold on them.. What can we do but report?

I think being able to track by time would be awesome. It could be like a fill in the blank goal that success could be tracked each day. That way it could work for just about anyone.

I agree with Lowens81 about it not being a good idea for weight - there are just too many people here with eating disorders.

As far as changing moods, would it be possible to have a drop down list similar to myspace or livejournal?

Also want to thank you for this website... it has been such a huge support for me the past few months. It is an awesome comfort to find people going through similar circumstances - - empathy is so much better than sympathy

Thanks again for DS!

Hi, Doug!
1. Different "faces" for feelings would be nice - "not sure", "angry", "hurt".
2. A calendar of some sort, see MEGNEEDSABABY comment.
3. A friends list that is printable for us to keep by our computers to use for notes regarding that person or reminders.
4. I agree with lowens81 - a weight chart would not be good for bulimics.
This site has been a godsend for me. Thank you so much!

I'm not sure how much work it would be but I'd love to see this board divided into different subjects to make it easier to keep following sugjects of interest.
The way it is now there are so many things put up each day that those of us with limited computer time just cant search out the threads of interest.
As to goals, I'd like to see. People in difficult relationships who know they need to make some kind of changes and how they are working on it and coming along with it.
People who are able to cut down on medications through other means such as bio feed back, meditation, mindfullness training, etc.
People who are working on eating healthier and losing weight, what are they doing and how is it working for them.
What kind of exercise are you using, espeicaly for those wiht medical problems that make getting into regular exercise difficult.

How about we start with something small.

Move the "remove friend" option so it's not right beneath / inbetween the "hug friend" and "message friend" option... it can accidently be clicked quite easily. Could send the wrong message to someone in need of a shoulder to lean on. Took me a while to come up with something for you to improve upon, but I did it, dammit.

I agree with a comment about young participants - there should be some kind of seperate group for 18 and over/under to keep kids safe - also, I would suggest goals for depression/anxiety like 1.got out of bed 2. looked out the window 3. went outside... you get my point - people at rock bottom need to work on basic functions - I have been there

Goals need to be set up by community... It would also be cool to add a progressive measurment tool similar to the smilies... not sure what that is but we use to get stars in kintergarden...

I want the HTML code to be allowed again...but if a person doesn't want graphics posted in their hugbook then they can choose that option...I for one love to send and receive cute and funny graphics and I think it should be each person's choice to allow them. It's like that on Myspace and it works out great.

1)LIfe management - finances, health, relationships.

2)Links to hard to find resources. truly helpful websites, like www.disabilitysecrets.com, which gives you tons of useful info about applying for SSI - which our gov't seems to not want anyone to know. It is a one-stop shopping website. you can see if you're eligible, look for a lawyer, and they have a long list of Q&A's, and helped me realize getting a lawyer is the right way to go. I had not idea until I found this site what I should do.

3) how to make a budget and plan for your life, how to find resources when you need help, I have known the info is out there, just difficulty getting connected to it.

someway to keep track of when our freinds post something. I find myself going to each page to to see if the have posted anything.
Goals would be something like how you are improving or somethng you want to inmprove that someone on here could help like being a buddy or something. Like someone they can contact anytime they need them.
I agree who ever mentioned more emotion icons.
