I'd still like to have the option of going to a business center and rating it. I see really good ones that I would like to rate but instead I have to go to the Top it/Drop feature and have the same ones come up over and over. Instead of being able to rate a good center I have to wade through all of the business centers with nothing on them and I never see the center I'd like to rate. The top it/Drop it is probably good to make sure people are getting ratings but many ABC's are probably lackin

Suggestion:

We need a specific "Support" group where members can post problems / questions for management (things not working, problems understanding etc).

This would enable others to reply and confirm the problem is across the board or individual. It would also be an avenue for support to confirm a problem has been fixed.

It would save management a lot of time replying to individual support requests.

just want my account deleted

Ok I am about to delete my two preivious posts and leave a more refined suggestion.....

From what I can see in regards to the remarks in this thread is several people have come forward all trying to discuss certain suggestions. I am not what the actual intent was here but it would seem to me that these people all care about apsense and have valuable contribution to offer to any ideas brought forward. Perhaps the people need a group where they could bring up suggestions and through respectf

Hi Garnet,

The idea of this thread was to post suggestions not have a debating session on each one or worse still on things that are totally off topic.

I will be checking to see if the none relevan posts can be cleared out so if posts go missing everyone will know why.

Please just note and do not reply as I will not be entering into any exchanges.

Would it be possible to have content go through a review board and get it approved before it's submitted? I'm not very technie, but it seems rather unusual to be able to post anything. There are usually all sorts of rules before anything can be posted, and if you don't follow the rules, it just isn't accepted.

Good luck getting your point across Christopher... We have been down this road several times here...

The majority at fault are those posting blatant ads more so than content... but as you said, it still effects APsense overall...

OK ... I for one am sick to death of the duplicate content posting that
is rife in this place. I`m having a battle of words with one "person" over
this, it`s about time something is done about it ... SERIOUSLY!

It is hurting Apsense as a whole, it is hurting all users ... and it HAS given
Apsense a bit of a bad name because of it (DIGG)

Every time I view "Recent Subjects" ... there is almost without fail, someone
posting the same message several times in less than 10 minutes, changed

Spammers use more sophisticated techniques than "knowing your name"....

They start with a domain... ie... "thedomain.com"

then they start from a

a@thedomain.com
aa@thedomain.com
aaa@thedomain.com
aaaa@thedomain.com
aaab@thedomain.com
aaabc@thedomain.com

Its hit and miss as far as spammers are concerned... They start with the obvious like admin@..., service@..., webmaster@..., and then start on the names... some scammers / spammers use software to add millions of name configerati

Just plain honesty

1 - After a recent sorry and pathetic debacle created by an infantile deletion of a perfectly good post, it should not be possible to delete a post without giving a reason. Apart from the fact that it is simple good manners, it might prevent future precipitous actions by people who should know better.

2 - It is also apparent from what happened that at least one administrator (or is she management?) has neither the aptitude nor the skills necessary. Having just had to leave a community that w

Jeunelle mentioned the need for a texteditor earlier. This is something that I most definitely agree with, I hate to see my misspellings in a finnished text without being able to correct them.

And I still miss the ability to message all of my downline and/or my contacts with one click. Is there the fear of spamming thats preventing this feature from being added?

I've noticed that Christopher. I usually just hit delete on the WYSIWYG part of the editor...

Still a pain in the butt though... would be good if we could get a fix for it.

I think we urgently need a system where there is a box that comes up when we delete posts and we post the reasons when deleting. - and the poster is informed.

That way - an polite explanation can be given and it is not up to each individual to decide if they inform the poster or not . It also stops "anonymous" deleters. And that way people do not get wrongly blamed for deletions they have not made either.

Not sure which browser you are using

I know that in Firefox I have spell checker on the Google toolbar

You could probably do the same with IE

Works great when I remember to do it LOL

Just plain honesty

Am I the only person here who does not read backwards?

If I read an interesting opening article and want to read all the comments, why do I have to find the last post and then work my way backward?

It would be really nice to have the posts in the order they are written - starting from the opening article.

Watchlist

I know we have select all button for our messages so we can delete them all at once

Would it not be nice if we could do the same for our Watchlist

Just a thought

Not sure if this has been suggested before, but I have just signed up to an autoresponder accont and it has this in there.
basicaly, it's a HTML editor - you type in what you want and it converts it to HTML, which you can then copy into wherever you need it.
I know we have the 'how to's' but personally I find it really difficult to remember which bit goes where. With the editor you just type it in, format it, put in your links, and then 'voila' it's done.
I think this would be really useful f

Suggestion:

Increasing Exposures in APsense Express!

Run a weekly competition (or daily or monthly) to see who gets the most points in each period. The prize could be ad space similar to the APsense Trivia Group or something similar. Would only need a slight change in the script to show a leader board in a section dedicated to the competition...
