I wish there was a brief pause when sending someone a PM where the server would look at itself and determine whether the receiver could receive it first, and then inform the sender GO or NO GO.
I also wish the ESC key was disabled from deleting any typing done in replying to a thread and whatever else it deletes in.
How about some collegiate football helmet smileys for this fall? I've seen season schedules with helmet icons that are about smiley-size. That would be awesome.
Thanks for reading these wishes.

Great idea! In fact, I think we could use other sports smileys too... like baseball, basketball, soccer...

I second what Trish said. Trolls tend to appear in the off hours and it can take some time to get the pictures removed. I was here during one troll attack and I'm glad the picture feature is gone.

If that's the case, then there should be a statement that reads something like "upload feature not available", so that other users and I will know that it's not available to us.
Isn't that what "Image Code disabled" means?

"Click here to upload" I come in through ibelieve and I don't have that option (I use 'fast reply', don't know if 'post reply' would display it.
I agree with Trish ~ I'd ralther not have the pictures option if it meant that we got trolls posting. Remember, that for the likes of anyone with a blog in forums, we can put images in our blogs. I posted some of my garden recently and mentioned it in the gardening thread that I post in regularly, stating what post # it was. It would be then up to individuals whether they looked or not.

I believe that part of the thing is that mental health is a highly controversial issue. That is at least part of why it has one-stops. Bone health is not a very controversial issue.

I think that since the mental health discussions are limited to two one-stop threads, other topics in the Health & Fitness folder should be limited to one-stop threads as well. I understand what you're saying, and to an extent I agree with you, given I post in the mental health threads too. I think my main concern is that new posters starting a thead which is then closed may feel intimidated and not post in such a long thread.
However, in fairness to admin, it can be difficult to make one-stop threads. For instance, you mentioned 'Obesity and Diet'. Well they're really 2 very different things. Healthy people (those who eat well and are in a health range for their height) may be interested in a thread on diet (when it's not something to go on in order to lose weight) but have no interest in obesity. Likewise, there may be many people who are obese who would be intimidated by folk discussing how healthy they eat.

on the other hand I know I've seen some newbies in there. :) I try to remember (but I can't say I always remember) to tell them they can just jump right in and say hi.

There are many reasons for a One Stop thread. See here for the official explanation.
quote:
Some suggested one-stop thread topics are:
Cancer One-Stop Thread
Fitness One-Stop thread
Obesity and Diet One Stop Thread
Cardiovascular and Lung Disease One Stop Thread
Bone Health One Stop Thread
Skin Problems One Stop Thread
do we have a lot of threads on bone health, cancer and skin problems?
searching the last 30 days I only found one on cancer. One on bone health. I think 2 on skin issues. None were controversial and nothing that one would need a One Stop for. I didn't check the other topics because frankly I got bored but I can't see that the folder was overrun on any one topic or that they generated a lot of heated debate.

I just thought it was a misunderstanding on his part that mental illness Melissa, from what I know of Fritz, he's got a pretty good understanding of things.

I apologize if I offended anyone with what I posted in this thread, or for even starting such a stupid thread in the first place. You know something... when we don't understand why something is being done it can really irritate us. Finally we do some asking, and we find the answers. Now it may not be the answer we want, but at least we can understand.
Kudos to you for asking and for apologising.

That's right!
and I'd think one would like the Mental Health Encouragement thread because then one can be free to share without having to be concerned about people coming in and harassing users with negative, unhelpful, derogatory and even vile comments. I'd think it's a safe place but maybe it's just me.

A profile isn't a post though ~ and it's not hard to become a member, is it?
