Message Board Suggestions

I think that there shouldn't be a requirement for 5 posts before being able to add a link in a post.

I personally believe it's totally necessary.

Do you have any idea what people who only come to the board to post once could potentially link...horrible stuff out there.

I use it on my board and it stops a HUGE amount of SPAM

Ms. Mod / Jordan-

Could we see pictures of the bookmarks we sent SK for his birthday last year on the website? I read the descriptions but pictures would be appreciated.

	Sorry, Mary, I didn't take pictures of the individual bookmarks after giving the package to Steve so unless I got them back from him when he returns from Florida, it's not possible to post pictures.

I continue to email my friends individually. As my list grows longer, I would like to be able to send to the whole group.

You can send a message to more than one person at a time--just be sure the names are separated by a ;

Do you mean, though, that you would like to have a way to save the names of the people in your group so you don't have to insert them manually each time, i.e. more like an Address Book? If so, there's a work-around for this. Open your Contacts pop-up (you can do this from the Quick Links); select each person you would like to include in your email, and then hit PM Users. A text box will pop up and each of the people you've checked on your Contacts list will be included in the address section. You then just type your message and hit Submit Message and it will be sent to all of the people you checked.

How about adding the number of post to qualify for each of the member levels to the FAQ. I looked for it but couldn't find it. Although i could have been blind. Thank You

	We've intentionally left that information out of the FAQ because we don't want users posting only to gain levels. -- Jordan

The page number bar needs to be at the top also. This would help navigation.

	The page navigation is at the top and bottom of all of the threads already. -- Jordan

Since i started in Dec. i've found the site getting easier to use. I'm getting the hang of it but the extra stuff Jordan has put on has helped.

Why does every post have to be ok'd? Ive been to all kinds of message boards for just about anything, including extremely controversial stuff and this is the first one ive ever ran into that requires every message to be ok'd. Seems pretty strange to me.

We prefer to be proactive rather than reactive to allowing posts that might include unacceptable Board etiquette. With this being Stephen's official site rather than a fan site, that is even more important. Most people get used to the format and find it makes for a nicer place to hang out than other Boards they've frequented.
