I would like to see some indicator on the list of posted questions that shows if/when the poster followed up after reading the replies. I like to see how we may have helped without having to search through each post again.

I don't want to be prompted to link my fb with mampedia everytime I reply to someone's question. If I would like to see the "don't ask again" option so this stops.

Justin L commented on February 4, 2010 - We've gotten lots of feedback on this, and we are definitely going to fix the font size!

I recently received very harsh replies for a question I had asked. I was called names and in response, Mamapedia removed my question. I wish Mamapedia would bar these mothers from ever being able to log on, aside from sending them a remprimand email.

Wish there was a review process before answers get pulled. People get cited for flaming, when they are not... merely because a few people find an op offensive. Certainly, some need to be pulled. But others are reported out of narrowmindedness.

I don't like the top 5 or 10 responses listed, followed by the others. It took a few posts for me to figure out how I kept "rereading" responses. I don't like the font size - too small. I don't like the Facebook prompts - too annoying.

All the gathered information should be on separate link sorted and away from the actual requests and answers. Can't tell which is the active requests versus information. Like the idea that the advices are grouped into categories for future reference

A suggestion would be to keep the old format, but have tabs at the top of the page to take you to the other sections. That might flow more smoothly and look less sloppy. Then moms who don't want all the extras don't have to see them =)
