Taking Suggestions for NEW LBT Features!

[ItsDani2u 0]

I know that a little tutorial would be GREAT...I am new and struggle to navigate effeciently.

I agree with above....don't get me wrong...this is a great website. However, it is very difficult to get used to. I've been trying to figure out what DH stands for for 5 days now! Having instructions and a dictionary or accronyms list on the home page would be awesome for us new folks.

Thanks for asking!

Go to the FAQs and References page, and you'll see a list of acronyms and their definitions.

Well, since this is a wish list....

A food journaling/tracking guide

LBT calender of events (so that members can put in their band dates, bandiverseries and other events)

Pen pal set up (I know we did one on a thread but never heard from my pen pal)

Have a limit as to the length of a signature line (maximum number of characters) because some people have taken the signature lines to extremes

I love the photo gallery idea for before/afters

A Teens only forum. A place they can call their own as well as contributing to the entire board.

A way to attach pictures easily in PM's

Jenna, there already is a calendar. Look in the blue bar along the top and click on Calendar.

- Allow members to add, rate, review and discuss Insurers, Govt programs, Hospitals, Lap-band Surgeon, Plastic Surgeon, Dietician/Nutritionist, Primary Care Physician, Psychologist, sleep Center Professional and other professionals

I think this will be an awesome AWESOME feature!!!

And Alex, what will the "Angel feature" be (I have an idea, but just wanted to see if this is what you were thinking)??

When should we start seeing some of these changes?

I cant imagine this place getting any better. GO Alex!

Alex - this place is already awesome! I love being part of it, and it truly has helped me stay focused (well, sometimes, at least!!)

All of the listed update ideas sound great!

Keep up the good work!

I second these suggestions:

I feel dumb. All this time at LBT and I never knew there was a calendar!! DUH!

Maybe there is a place and I haven't found it, but I would like a spot to go to find the definitions of all the abbreviations used. What is lol, nsv, pb's, etc. As a new person, it can be very frustrating and you feel stupid not knowing.

Actually there is such a thread. Check out the Lap-Band FAQs and References forum. In there you'll find explanations for abbreviations and terminology used here at LBT. You'll also find threads on how to post pictures, how to set up a ticker, and loads of information on the band.

What I would like, is for a "favorites" button to be added. So I can quickly go to the threads I read daily. Now maybe there is already one, and I can get started right away!!!

Alex and Moderators,

Thanks for making LBT the best online forum around!

It was the people I met on LBT that helped me with the decision to get banded, and it has been the best thing I ever did. LBT is a blessing.

I would love to have a ticker especially for LBT.

I think a clothing exchange and recipe section would get lots of us use.

Thanks again for everything!

I second the clothing exchange forum!!!!!

Heyas Alex... I dont know if this has been mentioned yet, but when you click on a member's name you see a list of options to email, send a PM, etc. Could you add Send a Pager Message to that menu?

Thanks.

Don't you have that in your UserCP under subscribed threads?
