If I could change 1 thing on epilepsy.com it would be . . .
Fri, 10/10/2008 - 17:21If you could make one change to epilepsy.com, what would it be?
- Is there a new function that you wish was here that isn't?
- Is there some special information that you wish you could find but you're sure we don't have?
- Do you think the colors should be different?
- Would you like more of something that we already have?
Trying to plan for the future of a website can take some time and here on epilepsy.com we really want to know what will benefit YOU the most. So add a comment to my blog or send me an email at webmaster@epilepsytherapyproject.org to let me know.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

HI JAN.
THAT WAS 2 THINGS. LOL.
THE FIRST ONE I'M BEING TOLD ISN'T MOVING FAST ENOUGH TO CAUSE A SEIZURE SO YOU SHOULD JUST NOT FOCUS ON IT. (IF THIS IS INCORRECT FOR YOU, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.)
THE SECOND ONE. . . IF THE PERSON YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS ON YOUR BUDDYLIST THEN YOU CAN GO TO THE TOP OF THE PAGE AND CLICK ON "MY BUDDIES". FIND WHO YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AND CLICK ON THEIR USERNAME. THEN CLICK ON THE "EMAIL THIS USER" LINK BELOW THEIR PICTURE. I KNOW FOR YOU THIS COULD BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE TEXT IS SO SMALL, BUT HOPEFULLY YOU CAN DO A CNTRL++ AND IT WILL MAKE THE TEXT LARGE ENOUGH FOR YOU TO EASILY READ.
HOPE THIS HELPS.

HI KAREN, YES, IT WAS MORE THAN TWO THINGS, SHE SAID WEEKS LATER! THE FIRST ONE I WAS AGREEING WITH COLINA, I THINK.........I MAY HAVE WRITTEN THREE......I DIDN'T CHECK JUST NOW. THE MOVING PHOTOS.....YES, I SEE THEM WITH MY SEEING EYE, AND THE BLIND EYE IS THE ONE THEY ARE CLOSEST TO. THEY DO BOTHER ME AND I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE HAD A SEIZURE FROM THEM, BECAUSE I CAN'T ALWAYS TELL. IF NO ONE ELSE HAS A PROBLEM WITH IT, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IT JUST SEEMS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE PHOTOSENSITVE, (AND I AM NOT SURE IF THAT IS PART OF BEING PHOTOSENSITIVE SO MAY BE CALLING IT THE WRONG THING) IT WOULD CAUSE SEIZURS. I COVER THAT SIDE OF THE SCREEN WITH MY HAND IT BOTHERS ME SO MUCH...........BUT FOR ONE PERSON, JUST LEAVE IT THERE!
NO, I STILL CAN'T GET THE INFO ABOUT PEOPLE. I WILL HAVE TO CHECK BACK IN THE EMAILS WE HAVE BEEN SENDING AND SEE WHAT THE 'VISTA' GUY WROTE! IT IS FRUSTRATING, I MUST SAY. LATER, HUGS, JAN
I WISH YOU PEACE, LOVE, BLESSINGS, JOY.........JAN
I USE ALL CAPS FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED.

HI KAREN, THE ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHANGE IS PICTURES OF PEOPLE MOVING........OUCH! I HAVE TO BLOCK THAT PART OF THE SCREEN WHENEVER THEY COME ROLLING BY OR WALKING IN. SEIZURE-TIME THERE.
AND YES, I WAS TRYING TO FIND COLINA'S GUESTBOOK TODAY SO I COULD SAY HI, AND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE'S GUESTBOOKS WHOM I KNOW HAVE THEM, AND I GOT NADA, ZILCH EXCEPT FOR SPIZ AND ADZ.
I KNOW THIS IS MORE THAN 1 THING, BUT I FIND THE EXPLANATIONS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF SEIZURES VERY LIMITED. I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO LEARN MORE BEYOND THE EXPLANATIONS GIVEN.
AND I DO SO WISH I WOULD STOP GETING THE MESSAGES THAT I AM NOT A MEMBER AND ACCESS IS DENIED, BUT WE ARE WORKING ON THAT ONE! THANKS, HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD DAY!
I WISH YOU PEACE, LOVE, BLESSINGS, JOY.........JAN
