have a button that says "ignore so-so's signature."
This solves 2 concerns- People who's signatures have way too much stuff, and it'll allow mommas of angels to post their pictures without offending those who don't want to see them.

"Angel" Babies
I read about this on Facebook through a friend. I'm disappointed. Professionals advise that mothers and families acknowlege that baby was here. If for some mother that means have a memorium picture in her signature, I'm surprised anyone could be offended. I'm assuming it is not graphic or showing inappropriate parts, and therefore find it difficult to understand why you, the company that represents the leading pregnancy and parenting experts in America, would deny them the right to show their rememberance. I won't use your website. I will actively speak against it, and you should know that mothers everywhere are… more

Please do something about those HUGE signatures!
The signatures are out of control. Please create a link for people to choose to view pics and not have to scroll down a page of 20 family pics just to get to the next post. It is seriously annoying. I find myself not wanting to come back.

Make the siggy box a uniform size to control page length
It can be really frustrating to scroll down several times, just to get to the next post. If the siggy's are the same size, it would really help. I like being able to see pics, but some are a bit long! :)

WAHM board
I'm hoping the moderators will consider making a WAHM board. Currently WAHM's post on the SAHM board. The point of becoming SAHM's was because we wanted to give up working to care for our little ones. If WAHM's had their own board, they could easily find other WAHMs to have discussions with. :)

Allow me to upload a photo from my computer
When I click on the picture insert item button in the text tool bar, it opens a small window that has an address block asking for the image URL. There is no browse button for uploading the photo. Please assist, so that members can upload pictures into their board post.

Advertisments
Please change the advertisements. They are covering up people's messages so I can't read what they are posting.

Add a "search" feature to the message boards.
This "search" function should have a drop-down menu allowing people to choose search parameters such as keyword(s), post author, and post date.
If such a feature already exists, it's difficult to find; not a good idea when dealing with a multitude of pregnant women and their long-suffering significant others. In this case, the suggestion would be changed to simply "make the search feature easier to find."56 votes -
Add a feature to monthly boards to see who is near you in geography. Would be nice to click a button
It would be nice to have a button on the monthly WTE boards to click to see geographical groupings of IDs. For example, I am on OCT 2009 board. Would like to click to see who else is in NC... or within 100 miles or something similar.

Make Editing your singnature at the bottom of the posts easier.
Editing your signature is hard, I would like a much easier format so you can rearrange your photos and tickers.

Make it possible to log in using a Blackberry again.
Those of us with Blackberries have not been able to log in while using a Blackberry in months.

include a way to ignore threads (as in the older boards) not just ignore a poster.
There are plenty of threads that don't interest me in a given forum...I'd like to be able to weed them out so I don't have to see them every time I come back.

Change the email notification feature back.
When I used to get email notifications, the link would take me right to the post directed to me. Now it sends me to the start of the thread. Actually, it sometimes sends me to random posts, but never to the post intended for me to view. Please change it!

Put all members of a board on the drop down "reply to" section.
When I want to address another member that has not posted in a while, I have to go back through all of the posts to find a post that they wrote. Before, when we clicked on "reply to" the drop down list contained all of the people who had visited that page recently. The only option now is to reply to the person who post you are currently viewing or reply all.

Finding Old Posts
Where did all the older posts go in the longer threads? Is there any way to get them back?

change it back to the old format!
The new format sucks and is not user friendly at all. Change it back!

Find a better developer
The WTE boards have a terrible platform. Go to ProBoards or Invision Plus and see how a user-friendly board works. Why do "baby boards" have the least friendly interface out there? C'mom WTE! Make yourself stand out. We need to be able to search posts by user and topic. This would really help reduce the number or repetitive posts.
