    Default Feedback

    Each year, I like to ask members what they'd like to see on the site in the upcoming year. While I can't always make it happen, I can start to shape it in the right direction. I know what I like to see, but it's important to me to get feedback.

    The site changes according to the members. While frugality is always the primary topic, secondary topics have always been strong, too. But these secondary topics can be very strong one year and less strong the following year, etc.

    So, tell me what you'd like to see covered more often. What secondary topics do you want to read more about?

    This can help me guide things and each individual has an idea of what they might be able to share, too.

    On a personal note, I'd like to see more vegetarian and vegan topics. It's an area that interests me a lot.

    Thank you and I think I love you! I get happy to see this topic come up and I try to post in any thread with this topic. I've thought about making more threads about it, but I feel there is not much interest here.

    However, I noticed that there seems to be more members lately that have changed their diet and a growing interest than before and I hope it keeps growing. That makes me happy. Rather you are in for health reasons, ethical, environment, savings, or all, doesn't matter to me! I love any discussion about it.

    Thanks FF for bumping this because I didn't see this thread before.

    There is one change I would like to see but I will share it later.

    Some of your moderators are real jerks. You should get them under control.
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    I've PM'd Sara about it before, but I would really like to see the preview boxes back that had the most recent blogs posted on the forums page. It was set up that way when I started here, and it was a good way to drive traffic to personal blogs. I don't necessarily remember, each day, to check for new blog entries, but when they were at the top of the forums, I would almost always click on them and read them.

    No other suggestions at this time. I have been generally very happy with all the changes that have happened here over time, so no complaints!

    I love the "ignore this thread" option. I'd like the ability to "ignore topics started by this member" and "ignore all posts in this forum".

    Ignore forum is under "forum tools". You have to click into the forum and it's on the top right (under the pagination).

    Am I right in thinking that admins and moderators cannot be ignored?

    MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
