This is the best site of mine.Every half an hour I check this forum for new topics!!!This is really tempting!!!!!!
I just want to give one suggestion to the moderator----to improve this site you can incorporate chatting functionality----a global chat----where anyone can perticipate and share there feelings and problems and stories instantly----It can be very helpful if anyone facing some problems with his/her per and needs instant remedy---We can see the list of the people who are online---but you can enhance this site to a little bit----private chatting is not required---you can incorporate a global chatting----which anybody can see and participate---it will make this site much more exciting---isnt't it----and also Thanx a lot for creating this site---its really the best pet site I have ever seen----Great job!!!!!!!!

We did have a chat room for a while early last year but it had to be closed after some members were given dangerous advice in it, advice that could have caused harm to their birds.

To add to Jane's responce, we also like advice to be asked for and given in the public area for all to see. This allows people to research for themselves from the 1000s of posts. Advice given in E-Mail or PM is lost to the rest of the members to take advantage of also. One of the advantages we have here is the moderators are 6 hours apart in time zones which allows for good coverage in responses. The live chat could be set up so that there was only one password that a moderator would have to give you, this would allow you to know that the people in there were actually members, but the advice given would still be lost to the rest of the membership not present at the time.

I have a suggestion too, but it's kind of shallow. More smilies  . I love them, and often rely on them to help me express what I mean. There's another board I got to that has a ton of them ( s4.invisionfree.com/OPM_Retreat/index.php?act=Post&CODE=00&f=8), but you wouldn't need to get that crazy. EDIT: If you go to the link, click "show all" to see the plethora of smilies. |

You more smilies suggestion is excellent, and I have often looked into this. There is a Proboards suggestion forum, and it has been suggested in there too. So hopefully in the next version we will see more/custom smilies! Thanks for your suggestion! As for the chatroom, I can't add anything to Jane and Preston's explanation... they said it all  |

Your welcome, but proboards is a varient . In HTML for FTP you would use <> to encapsulate a command. Here use [] as the same function, and your rollin', <> stores in a remote, where [] displays real time. If there are enough questions by members we can start a new section, but I really don't want the forum to look like a teenage chat room. I'll teach it as long as they will be used with taste, and in the general areas only. The areas that are for help with diets, behaviour, and be as serious as possible to comfort the owner with our advice. If a member would like to write a site about their birds. I will help with the code, E-Me
