Do you mean an entire forum or just a topic/thread? You could always start a topic anywhere you'd like for the "older" crowd.

If it's non-obesity related and just a fun thread, then the off topic section is best. Otherwise the information on obesity section would be good too.

This is just my opinion but there are too many subforums around here, lol. I have ADD though so that doesn't help.
There are times I've wanted to copy what I've posted here but it doesn't allow me. I mean copy text in a reply box that I haven't submitted yet. Can that be changed?

What do you mean you cannot copy your posts? It works for me?

I think live chat rooms would be a good idea, then we could talk to other members live.

I still think live chat is an important feature you should add.

I liked the forum from the beginning. I think it is so well structured and you can easily find the right category for your questions, tips or anything else. Besides this I really love the community because everybody is so supportive and nice. I love to post in this forum. Thank you for it.

Chat is hard for many forums because it's relatively costly in terms of CPU cycles and memory on the server. As a result many hosting service providers prohibit hosting live chat.
On a hiking forum I visit regularly, we have chat but it's hosted externally. It was used for a bit, but eventually lost its luster and it sits idle for the most part these days.

| Re: Help us make this site the best for you!
At any given moment, I notice that there are over 100 guests logged on and there are over 10,000 registered members. But there are only handful of people who post on this forum. Also, I notice that there are people who post once or twice but never write back again.
I am just curious - out of all the guests who come to this site, what percentage of people want to lose 5 lbs, 10 lbs, 15 lbs, 20 lbs, 25 lbs, 30 lbs, 35 lbs...... 100 lbs... 200 lbs...
Is there any way whether this forum could take a survey? Maybe it could be part of registration before becoming a new member?
I am just wondering whether the majority of people visiting this site are the folks who want to lose 10-20 lbs? And maybe we are losing their interest since prolific posters are not part of that group?
