Thema: Feedback about the forum!

Feedback about the forum!
I'd like to give some feedback about the Forum, I am surprised how few people use it, here are some of the issues I have observed and heard from members:

1. From the homepage there is no apparent direct link to member forum. I find it each time by going to the blog and going to the disclaimer where it gives you the link to Member forum. Could you maybe make it more visible, and more people will use it.

2. Quite a few people have mentioned that they submitted non-offensive posts and that their posts got pulled (happened to me the other day) this will surely discourage people.

3. Some people have mentioned that they submitted a post and no reply from w/s staff was ever received..that will surely discourage people.

thanks for listening and have a great day! Marita

Dear Marita,

thank you for the feedback.
Since we have a lot of work to do and the forum is only one small part of it, in my opinion we have good response (i. e. if we had more, we would have to close the forum down once in a while).

1. I think most people find the forum by searching the web with a search machine, at least I would not look on our homepage if I had questions about AIDS (except I knew our consultory).

2. We have lots and lots of spam and I had to establish a filter, so maybe it is useful not to post mails with likely non-serious content.

3. See answer 2.

Have a nice day!
