Medhelp Page Changes

[sllowe]

All: I thought it might be a good idea to use one thread with our concerns and problem.  

Medhelp has been such a blessing to all of us, and I thank them, and hope some of these suggestions would help express our concerns with the new layout, and together, maybe we can come up with some compromise.

1)  The left column is fairly empty.  Consider expanding the actual forum posts (appears more in the center of the page now) into this area of the setup, so the post and the responders are not so close together.

2)  The photo box next to the user appears "on top" of the post and takes up a lot of space and blurs the subject line because it places them too close together.  Suggest allowing the mouse hovering feature over the name and poster (as it was before to the left) in order to make this more suitable for the eyes.

3)    The subject line was in a list format previously (without the pic, etc).  This allowed the eyes to actually see the topic/comment or question much more clearly.  The above suggestions may allow for this feature to work for us again.

Adding to the list:
Douplication

-  Pictures of members appear 2 times
-  Posting time, appears 2 times.  It appears on the top of the post and on the "recent activity and members list."
- Joining 2 times to appear in the joined is redundant

I think you are  so right Quix.  SL, I think your post was right on target.

nothing anyone says is going to hurt my feelings.  I understand that MedHelp may be trying to accumulate statistics on individual comments, but we have upwards of 100 comments a day.  And It still think the question will deter some of our less confident people from posting.

Quix, you know I mean no disrespect w/my Dr forum comment above.  I'm sorry, I really was thinking those practing Drs out of specific clinics that may have some purpose unknown to us to keep track. . just wanted to clarify, because I'd hate this to come off wrong, because I wrote it up badly. . .

I agree there is way too much going on around the postings and the page in general. Also this bright white REALLY hurts my eyes.

I do hope at least some of this can be rectified. I cannot stay on for more than a few minutes before my eyes are killing me and a headache starts.

Medhelp and All:  I agree with the busy Quix mentions.  It's all busy, all the time, and yes, so well said, it takes away the intimacy some how.  And, a big Nay, if we are allowed to vote on:  The Question being helpful to us.  A feature maybe the Dr forum would want to keep stats on, but for our purposes,  it pretty much just takes up needed space, and is unnecessary.  No need to keep track of such things.
