Suggestion: On the KARE11 facebook page, just add this word MLM/MOM to the list at top of the page right next to the rest of the words: Deal Chicken; Cars; Recipes; and MetroMix. Make MLM/MOM as a link that redirects people to a new page, with a notice that MLM has been closed. Use an Invitation icon/graphic: Please come and join us at a new site: MOM (Moms of Minnesota), momsofminnesota.proboards.com/index.cgi I don’t know how the thousands of MLM members that were signed up, will be able to find out/know about the change, especially since it was short notice, but more importantly, there is no permanent link/information anywhere to redirect them. It leaves everyone “stranded”. When trying to goggle it, just brings a person to the current KARE11 facebook page, with no link or anything to inform/reference that MLM is now closed, please see us at new site: MOM (Moms of Minnesota), momsofminnesota.proboards.com/index.cgi I never would have guessed that MLM would close. When I first started to look for MLM, I seriously there was something wrong with my computer, that I couldn't get MLM. I got an email from a couple of people to let me know what happened, and gave me the link to the new place. I was not able to get on my computer before MLM shut down, so I was not able to retrieve saved pm's; not able to send pm's to let my friends circle know what was up. I had alot of friends that were on infrequently, that I wish I was able to send a pm to inform them. Is anything archived? So I maybe would be able to get my friend list???

Suggestion: In Profile, have a place to list children like: dd1 = fill in blank for age. do this for all children. dd2, ds1, ds2 like we used to have, and have it be optional for putting on first name, age

The only thing I can think of to add is I would love is the ability to see more posts in the chronological order they were posted. Like on MLM when you looked at the recent posts, then at the bottom you could click to see more. That way I could go back to the last time I checked and know I didn't miss anything.
Me too, I'd really like to option have posts in Chronological order, so I can see what I may have missed, without going thru every single category to see if I missed anything.

I would like to see a longer list of posts, before they drop off the page, under New Topics so I can check back to see what I may have missed, or want to followup with that post.
I liked the 8 pages of posts that we would be able to see (mlm), and then if you wanted to post to them, they would be right there, instead of seaching each category to find them.

I would like an easier way to use clip art here. Especially for Birthdays, thinking of you, sympathy, laughs to lighten the day!!!!
I still haven't figured out how to post clip art here. I tried to copy paste from my Word document, and it did not work.
I also don't know how to do the Attachement line.

I REALLY miss not being able to use a highlighter for some words in my posts. I looked at the above icons, and didn't see it. Am I just missing it???
I ESPECIALLY LOVE PREVIEW BUTTON BEFORE POST REPLY. I use it almost all the time, 99.9% and catch my typing errors!!!!!!
LOVE SPELL CHECK!!!!!!!!

Suggestion for getting the word out about MOM:
One of the ways I help get the word out about MOM is:
I use a name badge holder, (can be found at thrift stores, after a conference/convention) I get a MOM business card (along with extra's to share) and put them in the name badge holder, wear it around my neck, (or clip it to a jacket/coat collar). I have them "at the ready" when I'm out in the community, this way if I see a Mom, I can hand her a card quickly, if she appears to be in a hurry as she's on her way to a destination. Most of the times, Mom wants to talk. I think I have only been turned down for a card maybe a couple of times.
This will be attention getter, an opportunity to talk, and offer them a MOM card, so they have the web address to look it up later. {If I just tell people about the site, then ya, nice to know about it, but they most likely won't remember the website long enough to check us out.}
For me, it's about being intentional to share the cards, looking for opportunities to share and invite Mom to stop and check out the site.

AuntSue I think you need to re-read Cindy's post! She's not asking for improvements to the site. Most of the ones you request can NOT be done since this is the forum layout! It simply can't be changed by us. There isn't a highlight button!
MOMs is independent of MLM and KARE. We are not allowed to say where we all went anywhere on KARE. I have posted a new link on the KARE Facebook page as well as WCCO, FOX 9 and KSTP. So if anyone wants to go make another post that would be great!
For the clipart, you need to save a picture on your computer. Then use the regular Reply area, click on Browse(to browse the pictures on your computer and find the one you saved). Select the picture you want. Then when you post the picture will appear in the post.

Here are some ideas...... Leave a business card or make a little poster at your Peds office or ECFE class. Maybe they have a board where you can tack it up. How about at your child's sport classes? Most of those places have a board you can tack one up on. Basically where ever you see a bulletin board you can tack something up we should be putting something up there.
I'm with you, I like to keep it to myself so I tend to reach out to people I'm not so close with. LOL

I'm on the new Jazzy color scheme too AuntSue - When you find an image online that you like get the DIRECT LINK to that image and copy it. Then when you come here type in (without the spaces) [ I M G ] (insert direct link here) [ / I M G ]

It may spread slower, but word of mouth is a great thing for anything that's great, and this is a great place for moms.

I have to agree with the see more button at the bottom. I LOVE Jazzy's idea of a less noticable screen for us working MOM's that are suppose to be working because like Cissy my home computer is crashing and I have limited amounts of time to be on the site (when I have a few minutes here and there at work).
As far as getting the word out some schools might be willing to send home fliers with their kids. My kids bring home a Wednesday folder and sometimes they bring home things for baskets at churches, discount tickets at certain kid places, a list of free things to do with your kids, toys for tots apps, and this week they got a thing for free bikes. My kids go to a charter school and I think they are more willing to hand out fliers for different resources to utalize.

Sorry Ladies but the see more option is not something we have any control over! Cross your fingers it's in the new version!
