Hey Guys!

Some of you may already know me, but my name is Jesse and I work for DailyStrength. I am writing to get some of your opinions regarding what new tabs should be created for discussions. As you know, currently all topics fall into one general Discussions tab; but we were hoping to create a few more (up to 4 or 5) to help you guys pick and choose what type of discussions you want to view. Sometimes members are looking for general advice, but other times members want to share a story, a game, or a specific treatment, right? Having tabs would help everyone have a little bit more control about what topics they see and matter to them most.

What about a Treatments tab? Or how about tabs for Newbies, Fun & Games, Frequently Asked, or even Venting? Let add your reply to let us know what tabs you want! We want lots of ideas!

I think you hit a few. Newbies, fun and games, chat with friends and Frequenty asked

I saw this on tv it's called "find what I want". Alot of people are looking for items in stores or saw something they wanted but did not know where to get it. Other people were really grateful to find the items they were looking for. I think it's a great idea.

I think it's fine the way it is.. what would be nice would be if we could track where we left off and which threads we joined.

i asked doug about this one already but here it is again doc lists by states

Falling under the "Fun & Games" topic, something like, "Lighter Side of MS" where we can post the stuff that makes us laugh about the disease. Where we can go when we just want to smile. -Jen

i agree with feisty's reply

how about trivia nights and a chat room where everyone can talk live but still keep this format to post information....it works well and better than other sites I have seen!!!

I also like the idea of a tab that deals with humor, "On the Lighter Side" would be good. I have enjoyed the humor on this site immensely.

i would love to see a tab for minors.we discuss some adult topics here and sometimes there are young teens on the board

deleted_user 11/21/2007

It would be cool if you could sort discussions by the number of replies.

There are probably some real jems back there in the 3000+ previous discussions in this community. The number of responses is some sort of an indicator how useful, interesting, or controversial the topic was.

The search feature filter by community is great, thanks!

It is somewhat unrelated, but I think it's a great idea to add a chatroom option. I like the tabs idea, but I also enjoy how things are going now. During the day at work I just sign on to see what new topics have been started. Sometimes it's the highlight of my day! :-)

deleted_user 11/21/2007

I prefer it the way it is now.

deleted_user 11/21/2007

WHAT I THINK WOULD BE GREAT, IS 2 HAVE A LIVE CHAT ROOM WHERE WE COULD ALL CHAT LIVE AT THE SAME TIME AND IF U WANT 2 GET FANCY U CAN ADD VIDEO AS WELL (SORRY THATS JUST THE PC FANATIC IN ME)...

I have a Mac & don't get the choice of questions or discussions.

What about a place to list current research articles.

Sunnygurl 11/21/2007

I think a video tab would be good. Many times I find great info on other sites and we can't post videos in here. Maybe allow us to upload the videos directly to our posts too. :)
