This is a minor point, but I wondered if the formatting of the info about the Boards at the top of each page may now be a bit confusing for new people? I dont know what sort of formatting you are 'allowed', but I was thinking of something like giving them a line each so they were more easily scanable. Eg on PSB;
'This is a message board for mutual support and education. It focuses on non-medication-related issues (including "just" being social).
*Psycho-Babble is for medication-related issues*Psycho-Psycho-Babble is about psychology and psychological treatments
*Psycho-Babble about Faith is about religious faith
*Psycho-Babble Book Club is about books*Psycho-Babble 2000 and 2001 are for "old-timers" who started posting then
*Psycho-Babble Administration concerns the operation of this site.
If what you want to do is support someone more than discuss an issue, just post to whichever board they posted to.
etc'It would be most useful to have some feedback from new users (or potential users) re how they get on with the current or potential formats, but I realise that would be too time-consuming for you to gather easily.

Yes, and I do still have it, but I don't think Dr. Bob was/is interested.

I do think bullets are a lot cleaner. I tried that there, is that what you mean? If so, I'll revise the other ones, too. Thanks for the suggestion!

Dr Bob: Looks much clearer- thanks!
Sorry to others- if it helps, I have also sent Dr B posts he didnt act on- there is a lot for him to keep track of?
And, personally, I think it was particularly needed since he has created several new boards in the last few months, which I suppose may have made a difference to his decision.
So hope you're not too hurt/fed up, and can maybe be a bit pleased your idea got there in the end?!

The "bullets" really helped to organize the options for me. What would really be great -- if the titles or background were color-coded maybe to the rainbow colors. If administration were green, for example, I could go right to it by seeing the green--not even have to read the name. I could follow the rainbow. On good days, I'd start with ultraviolet, red. On depressed days, I could start with blue and work up.
Thanks for making the "bullets" change.
