Lisa....

Lisa, I posted this in another thread but thought I'd copy it so you could see it.....

Maybe it's just me, but there's so much that happens to all of us, that I often can't keep track of what's going on with whom. I wonder if it would be possible for when you click on someone's name, you can get an option to "see all posts" by that person? A site I used to belong to had this feature and it made it so much easier to keep track of what had been going on with the person.
Would anyone else find this helpful?
Lisa and moderators, any thoughts on this?

Fabulous Tracking Idea!

Yes, I would LOVE this option also! I have a difficult time keeping track of what's going on with everyone and would find it extremely helpful :)

Great idea.. I know I would

Great idea.. I know I would find it helpful to have a link to a member's "story", not necessarily ALL posts made by the person. I have mentioned this and Lisa is looking into it:) xoxo

Yep!

Yes, StayingStrong brought this up to me just last week so I asked my Webmaster about it because of her question. It is possible to add this feature, but will require many hours of webservicing. If members want it, I'll get it done, but will have to wait until I start collecting paychecks again. Thanks for your patience! :)

Great question, Veronrose

Great idea, V! I look forward to getting feedback from members on this. I believe this is possible, but requires significant upgrading. If you all want it, I'll definitely get it for you since I'm going back to work tomorrow. Also, hope you all noticed that I upgraded the system to allow members to tailor their notification options (i.e. if you don't want notfications of posts, you can now turn that feature off via your profile page). Hope this is helpful!

As per the Upgrades

I did note some changes and they are great! However, just my two cents - knowing what I know about webmaster fees, nevermind what it costs to keep this site up, while I would love to see the changes, I fear that in order to make it "realistic" you might have to start charging a fee as you are absorbing the costs to help all of us. I think it would be fair that you consider posting a "donation" section so that members can contribute towards upgrades. I did see on another site a section that accepted pay pal donations, as having a friend who was also a book publisher, while her book was sold mass market, after the costs involved in production of the book - the profits were not as much as one might think...everyone involved has to get paid, it's just like music...the "image" and the reality are two different things for many artists. I so appreciate all you've done for us Lisa, and perhaps I'm making assumptions, but I know how committed you are to helping those of us in need, how generous you are with information, resources, this forum...but at the same time, I imagine that the financial aspects are also a challenge. I would be willing to make donations to the best of my ability if it would help. Who else is in? Below are some ballpark figures; however, I presume given the work of linking members - it will be much higher....the estimates were a cut and paste from a web designer's site.... Estimates: Note: These are ballpark estimates, submit a project for real bids.
