If I could change 1 thing on epilepsy.com it would be . . .

Fri, 10/10/2008 - 17:21

If 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 Karen. What I'd like to see is not something new but the one thing I miss most. Simplicity. One in particular is that we used to be able to just click on someones name and go straight to their blog. Now when you click on a name the community profile drops down and most of them are "not public" so then you have to go to blogs and scroll around or type in users name in search blogs. Then you have to weed through all the google suggestions. Even clicking on your buddy list names doesn't take you there and so many members here have blogs or stories but have not made a community profile so the search is on. Alot of sites I've seen you click on the name and it goes directly there. The member has the option there of being public or "allow friends only". The community has grown so much that it has become overwhelming keeping up with all posts and getting to know new members.  Community forum is fine but for blogging I'd prefer to keep it more personal. I'm thinking alot of my buddies would agree.

 Ohh there's so much but I will respect the thread and stick to the 1 thing.

 Thank you for giving us this opportunity, Colina.

Hi Colina,

Thank you for this feedback. I wasn't here "before" so I'm interested in what you used to have that you liked and wish that you still had. I will add this to my list. I understand how frustrating it is to try to learn about someone using search on our site since they could come up many times if they are active in the community.

If you have other suggestions or "wishes" please feel free to email me anytime with them. I can't make promises about if or when they might be fulfilled, but without them I can't even try to do them.

Hi there Karen,

 

First of all thank you for this website!!!  I was wondering if you could change it so that in our profiles, we can pick more than one answer?  I think I speak for alot of people when I say that I take more than one medication, and that I have more than one intrest.  As far as I can tell , that is the only thing wrong with this site. :-D

 

Thanks again,
