We have a whole suggestions area over here:
http://suggestions.hellobee.com/
I'm curious... what features would you like to see on the site?
You might also enjoy...
-
Blocking people.
-
I've said it before but a separate classifieds forum
I think it'd spur way more activity if people could scroll down and see posts saying what's for sale instead of having to page through a thread.
-
@scg00387: i like the separate classifieds forum idea
-
@anonysquire: How would blocking work?
-
@scg00387: agreed!! I always hesitate posting in the classifieds thread because I know I never check it, so why would someone else...
-
@scg00387: That's a good idea. A separate forum for classifieds would probably generate more traffic.
-
I'd really like to see quoting capabilities. I hate when someone says "yes @ so and so, exactly!" and I have to scroll up to figure out what's being referenced.
I'm guessing @anonysquire: wants blocking similar to what vBulletin does (shows there's a post from a person you selected to block, but the content doesn't show unless you want it to.) ETA: never mind, misunderstood!
-
@mrbee: I don't know. Similar to Facebook blocking maybe. I don't know, cause there wouldn't be a way to block creepers or inlaws that make a fake profile on here and you don't know who they are. I just get sad that I'd never be able to post if I got pregnant here. Even in a gold thread because they could just as easily become gold.
-
@MrsCB: I would really like to see quoting abilities too. It's one forum feature I've always loved and it's one thing I've always missed from WB/HB.
-
A way to see a user's kids/ages next to their avatar maybe? I always get confused as to who has kids and what their ages are.
-
@lawbee11: yes this too!
-
alerts! like next to the posts by your user name at the top, you could have an alert notification for wall posts & replies. a scroll to top button would be cool, but only 'cause i'm lazy
-
I personally don't like the look of the quoting feature on message boards.
-
@mrs. bird: oh yea! I like alerts too!
Clearly I can't think of ideas on my own! hahaha
-
a search feature please
-
@Beetones: there's one on the upper right =)
-
If you post pictures, can you set it up so no one can download those pictures?
Alerts are great too. Sometimes you get so many notifications you miss wall post alerts.
-
I agree about kids/ages/maybe due dates for pregos. It's hard to remember details for so many people!
-
Option to make the list of replies and topics posted hidden on your profile (that's just a stalker's dream come true - everything you ever said on here in easy list format) - really really want this option!!!!!!
-
Ok, I have no idea how hard this would be to create but - a way for a user to go anonymous for a single post, without creating a whole new account. So they could have a little check box in the "Write a Post" box that says "Post Anonymously" and it would just show up in that post as "Anonymous".
That way if people want to ask a really delicate question or announce a pregnancy or something and they don't want anyone to know it's them, they can do that without having to make a whole new account tied to another email address.That might be way more work than it's worth, so... just a thought.
-
@scg00387: I like this idea too
-
@tororojo: @lawbee11: yes- this! I think it was talked about before.
@mrskc: agree. The idea is nice but it looks messy.
@mrs. bird: both those ideas! Actually there is an open suggestion for a scroll to top button
-
Quoting please! I added this suggestion awhile ago! I get so confused when people say "me too!" and I have no idea what they are agreeing with.
-
@Arden: THIS. I have like two other accounts from things I posted anonymously hahaha. It's a pain to log out and log back in. I feel this could be abused to maybe there could be a limit of say 10 anonymous posts per user??
-
Searching threads.
A way to facilitate for due date clubs to have more than one, super long thread. Or perhaps this is already possible?
Stickies, or something likes this. So if someone went to charting board, there could be something they could click on that would always be at the top explaining the ins and outs of charting. There's so much good information floating around here, and it would be nice to compile it into one spot.
-
@Mrs. Pen: @Arden: I agree! also, then you don't have to think up a new name. Every anon post would be anon and I think that would make the guessing games WAY hard and would be much more anon that way.
-
@Mrs. Pen: Yeah, a limit would be fine. It wouldn't be needed that often.
-
@Happygal: Would a guide/how-to on charting suffice?
-
@Arden: I love that idea!
-
@runnerd: Yes! I don't think anyone but me needs to see this!
-
@Happygal: @MaisyMay: I think the same questions get asked over and over again about charting and OPKs - stickies would be very useful!
-
1. Ability to bold, strikethrough, underline, etc.
2. I would like a little alert too. I attached a picture of what I have in mind, where an envelope pops up when you have a wall post?
3. I would be open for another row under "Gold/ Pomegranate / 4381 posts", and it could say "Pregnant with first" or "Vanessa, 6 months"
4. Ability to delete your own posts/comments
5. Ability to go anonymous for a comment (Gold feature)
6. Scroll to top button
7. More tabs at the top - maybe a Series tab, a Classifieds
8. On a users profile, the option to add your Twitter/IG/whatever account if you don't mind it visible -
@Arden: LOVE this idea!
yes and maybe signatures of lo's names or ages...i mean nothing to crazy long like ive seen some other baby sites do but something short to remember everyone's lo ages or pregnancy stage.
-
@scg00387: @stargal: @Mrs. Pen: @Arden: You can weigh in on a potential Classifieds feature here!
-
@lawbee11: @scg00387: Would be interested in your thoughts here!
http://suggestions.hellobee.com/topic/allow-parents-to-add-their-kids-to-their-profile-page
-
@mrs. bird: @MrsTiz: Any suggestions on how we should format a scroll to top button?
-
- LOs ages next to name (gold only)
- hide threads and comments (or maybe make gold only) -
@Arden: Added your suggestion here!
http://suggestions.hellobee.com/topic/anonymous-posting-option
-
I'm not wild about deleting posts and going anonymous. I know the idea is to add privacy and encourage people to share openly, but I think it could go the other way and cause people to not be as careful and kind with what they say. Posts that are there one day and gone the next would be frustrating, and I wouldn't value the responses from anonymous folks as much as people I'm getting to know here.
@MaisyMay: a chart or something like that would be helpful. I can imagine a bunch of different helpful stickies, like book recommendations on sleep, how to start cloth diapering, etc. As someone who loves data, this actually excites me. I've been putting together lists here and there on my own. Like the thread the other day on slings and all the acronyms.
I think it'd spur way more activity if people could scroll down and see posts saying what's for sale instead of having to page through a thread.
