Bella Vista

I have been asked to create this discussion for an administrator of Neighborhood Link. This discussion is for suggestions, complaints and comments about the web site. Recently there have been changes to the discussion area that some of us old timers here and some new users have noticed. Please feel free to give comments good and bad in this discussion as they will be looking at these.

I've been a member here for over four years or more now, can't remember for sure. I created a web area for another neighborhood I used to live in. Now Bella Vista is my new neighorhood and I created this web area last year. I've given criticizm and support and suggestions all along since joining and have gotten a great response back from all of them. They are constantly working to improve this free service for all of us. So, let's help them out. It's the least we can do for them and all of us taking advantage of this great free service.

 There are some things they are working on that will be forthcoming. Keep your eye open and log in here regularly. If you have cookied enable you should be able to click on a bookmark or a link you have on your desktop and find you can stay logged in. It makes it so much easier to use. Okay, your turn as I always say.

Okay, Susana, here's my first post for you. A sort of complaint I guess.

The new, improved discussion area.

There should be a way to post a new topic in a discussion. For instance, on my first entry into my first discussion here at Bella Vista I have twenty replies. The problem is I have to go through several pages to get to the latest reply. I for one would like to enter a discussion 'topic' and be able to see the latest reply without having to spend so much time clicking on 'next' time after time to get to it. Is there anything in the works for this? I would also like to have the ability to click on a link that would give me the old one line per discussion index so as to see all the discussions on one page without the text. A sort of short version, maybe a button to switch between old format and new or expanded like it is now or short version? I hope this user group discussion catches on but for now I don't know how anyone will find it without some sort of search box somewhere on our discussion page. I know you guys are working hard on new things but here are my suggestions for now. Anyone else got anything?

I want to add something I just thought of. Can we get a Date  and Time stamp feature on our posts? I would like it to be selectable. There are some times I do not want the date and time stamped on a message or post. Would this be possible in the future?
