I don't understand why we are able to write on our whiteboards. It's embarassing when you make a mistake in a whiteboard conversation and end up writing on our own.

Delete the option please.

I think making, or taking a quiz should be part of out basic memberlist. This will encourage more members to participate in the quizzes aspect of the site.

When you click someones avatar or name, you should be redirected to either the user's profile or IB.

This not only saves time for us lazy people, but also makes the site more accessible and user-friendly.

I, for one, would like to have an exclamation mark in my name. But, unfortunetly, it can't be done.

It would be nice.

I think that when someone clicks on a posted link it should open in a new window instead of directing you away from LW.

as an american it would be nice to be able to find people by the state their in

And moving transgendered to the gender list.

Maybe you should add a thanks button, where you click it and it says that you (and if other people did, them too) thanked the person for that post.  It could also show on their profile how many times they got thanked, and maybe even give them a point for getting thanked or something.

When a reply is quoted, you should get an alert. There's been too many times when I've had a quote (on my old account) and missed it completely.

Currently, our Alerts page could look like this:

"[Friend] added a new picture to [photo album]"

"[Friend] added a new picture to [photo album]"

"[Friend] added a new picture to [photo album]"

"[Friend] added a new picture to [photo album]"

"[Friend] added a new picture to [photo album]"

- - - -
I think it should look like:
"[Friend] added 5 new pictures to [photo album]"

The current gender and sexuality options - though far better than most options on the Internet - could use a few updates.

For gender, it would be awesome if you could make it:
Male, Female, FtM, MtF, Inter-sexed, Androgynous, other, etc.  Or a write in your own option. But including the off-the-spectrum genders would be great, as it's not that I'd "rather not say".  At the very least, adding "trans-gendered" and "other" would be a step forward.

For sexuality, not much ought to change:
Please remove the trans option.  It's not a sexuality, it's a gender... It gets confused enough as it is.  Adding pan-sexual would be good, but other than that, it's fine as it is.

In the misconduct report reason menu, "Drug Forum Content Violation" should be changed to something like "Subforum-specific rule violation" in order to apply to all forums that have specific rules.

I feel really stupid every time I report a topic in the School & Homework Connection forum where somebody is trying to get help cheating on schoolwork, because there is no reason in the menu.

Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, U.S. Minor Outlying Islands, Bajo Nuevo Bank, and American Samoa are U.S. territories, please put them under U.S. (since they aren't their own countries).

Please add them to the operating system list.

It would be a good idea to make it so people can click the image uploading icon before the pic has been approved. That way people who don't care if it is not appropriate can see the pic without having to wait.

Why not have a meter/gauge/counter that shows you how many days left until you can change your Username again?

Members should be able to respond to arguments from moderators in their MERs allowing more effective MER processing and more attention to legit MERs.

This topic was somewhat inspiring towards this idea.

It seems that some members don't exactly remember how or when they were given their penalty points and that mods aren't able to find exactly how either. So my suggestion would be to have a penalty point log (much similar to say the transfer log) in which it accounted for:

• Which mod added the penalty points to an account
• Why they were added to an account
• When they were added to an account

most people probably wouldn't use this, but it would help people like me who are blind and use specialist equipment to browse the web (which run pocket IE6) if there were buttons like "go" or something like that added to drop-down menus. take the favourite forums feature for example: i can change the selection in the drop-down menus, but i have no way of saving my changes so i am stuck with some random forums. this also applies to the actions menu in profiles: i am unable to make a selection which means i cannot transfer points for example unless the member in question sends me a link i can use to send them points. this feature could be enabled/disabled in the appearance settings or something like that and would be available to all members, regardless of donation status or sl/mod status.

We need alerts that let us know when the moderators have approved of our images.
Good idea, no?

nothing fancy, but a little symbol on the right hand side of our profiles would be nice

this would be the general idea

In a sense, this is feeding from moomoomilk's idea, but not really in it's entirety. Just the overlying idea and thought.

In a sense, it would be a filter such as one in the intellectual forum.

Instead of having people posting one word responses (or one sentence responses) in support forums for an easy +1, you'd have to actual put some thought into your response. It'd cut down on some spam (hopefully) along with increasing the support level of the site. (again, hopefully.)

You guys know how Facebook, and myspace have on the bottom of the page a pop up IM if you want to talk to your friends?

Well I think Livewire should get one. I think it could be handy when it comes to talking to friends on LW instantly.  

Usually people on here use MSN or something else to talk to people/friends of LW. If we had a IM bar, then we wouldn't have to.

Wouldn't it be cool to have a little feature where you can search for a country, and find all the people on LW who claim they live there?

It's pointless for people from the USA, like a third of LW is American, but it would be cool for other members, such as myself.

Add 'Windows 7' to the OS dropdown in our profiles. Afterall, a lot of people are using the beta and the release date is right around the corner.

There should be a button on the page where all of your favorites are. This button should be able to remove all of your favorites from your list.

If for some reason this can not be done then the list of favorits should be endless so we dont have to delete all of them one by one.

a filter that puts all ur messages of the people u mostly talk to in a folder, and all the messages from the others in a separate folder

Have a Chat room area just for members of certain groups, and one overall chat room, so it easier and like a option to save a message so private messaging can be used still, but this allows everybody easier access to talk to.

I highly recommend you install Google Friend Connect on this website. I put it on my website and damn, I must say, Google Friend Connect is perhaps Google's greatest product ever. It is absolutely free to use and you can put it on as many websites as you want. You can start using it now at the following URL: http://www.google.com/friendconnect

Would it ever be possible to get a button such as in this picture, that could link us to our eHelp responses inside the eHelp center. Rather than having to go to our profiles every time just to find the link. Just a thought. :)
