We're working on adding new features to LBT over the next few months. If you have any suggestions on features you'd like to see added, please let us know.

Here is a list of what we're working on:

- New LBT forum skin design

- Photo Gallery

- Fix journals

- Clothes exchange

- Our own Tickers geared for Bandsters.

- Surgery dates

- Angel feature

- 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

- Lap-band Surgeon and Lap-band Professionals Directory

I think a section for success stories. I know there are before & after pics, but I would like to read the success stories, how long it took them to get to goal, their diet etc.

I am really having some techincal difficulties since you changed... something (?) yesterday. I cannot go to specific forums ie. Canada from my home computer - it says the web page is not available; and at work, each time I post it tells me that I am no longer connected and have to start all over. The post is getting through though.

Frustrating!

Me, too. I e mailed support and they responded that they are updating the site. Anyone else hate the new ads on the right hand side?

Yep, I do. I suggested I'd be happy to pay for a premium membership to not have the ads on my page. This site is very pricey to run (well, they all are, especially those with thousands of members, and that allow pics, bandwidth costs money) so I understand the need for the ads. I really do, I'd just like to be able to pay something to support the site and not have to see the ads.

There was a thread here a few minutes ago about the problems, but now it's gone!

Never mind, I found it!

Can we please have a men's section? I posted a while ago about it, and there was some positive feedback from the men here.

I know we have the men's thread, but a section to post guy stuff would be great. There are so few resources for lapbanded men and I think it would be a real copmpliment to the site.

Me, too!!!!!!!! Send me a bill....lose the ads!!!!!!

What do you guys and gals feel we should ask for membership each month in order to loose the annoying advertisements ?

Not a bad idea, I'll send you a PM about how to go about this.

I don't know....depends on A. how many members there are, and B. what it costs to run the site.

B divided by A should give you the answer.

A would really have to be how many members would actually pay for a premium membership.

B this # keeps growing

There are also LOTS of "drive-by" members who just post a couple of times and never come back. I'm sure many of them are reading voraciously, but would they pay? I somehow doubt it.

I like the pen pal thread suggestion or maybe a mentor thread?

How about a lonely post section. I find myself looking for threads with no posts to see if I can help them. I have started some threads myself and didn't get a response and it kinda hurts a fellows feelings.

Is there anyway you could do it by donation...ie those that donate X amount loose the adds instead of charging monthly??? or something.
