Suggestion for admin

When you are viewing a post, and you realise that (yet again, I keep getting logged out) you are not logged in.. so you go to post and it says you must log in first to reply. After you log in, it takes you back to the main page.. when you were actually wanting to reply to a post.. so you have to go and find it again.

On other forums, you get taken right back to the page you were about to post in. Is it possible to change this?

instead of having a whole new section could you not start a thread in the parenting section for single parents and get admin to sticky it...you know like the october mums etc...

oh and how bout being able to start a new post without having to go to the bottom of the page all the time. ?and being able to go to one section like general from the "active topics" search instead of using the "ohbaby forums" button.?????

You can do this - if you go to search then in "search for" type the member, then "search in" by username. Only problem I find with this is it just brings up the thread posted in and doesn't go straight to the actual post so if its something 10 pages long you have to trawl through it to find it.

Oh and how about having photo gallery show up in active topics (if you are a senior member of course). I tend to only use active topics and forget about the photos

Gee Deb, you *must* be bored!

I've only popped on for a couple of minutes while the gremlins are sleeping, about to go and clean up Princess Maya's Pigsty (aka her room ), but I will come back later when I've got more time and have a look at some of these. Ang, Katherine and I were discussing some of updates that are scheduled to be done over the next few months and there are some exciting new features coming too like a Birth Announcements section on the main site where you can post a pic and announce your new bub, E-cards for birthday/baby shower invites and congratulations, coloring competitions and activities to print and do with your toddlers/preschoolers and we are also looking into the possibility of blog-hosting on the site so you guys would be able to have your own blogs hosted thru OHbaby! instead of say blogspot or blogger.

Back later!

Me three!

And because I am a forum I notice that ohbaby is lacking in some areas

I read through everything when I first joined but now I only read the boards as well. The only things I have read in the past year not including the boards are gingers thing and the dad diary.

Probably, will ask the tech team to have a look at it.
