Hello,

I'm providing some "value-added" information to consider; it's not the bells and whistles that may be categorized as a highly visible feature, but one that is "part-of-the-engine" so to speak.

- I would love to see a way for website members to be able to know that the "safe" website they connect to is actually likeme.org and not an imposter.  (i.e., current website certificate to verify authenticity)

- It would be great if the information in your "secure" database was secure from the user's browser to the registration and/or authentication database.  (i.e., SSL - or similar supported encryption - for connections during registration and login.)

This looks like a very nice website with so much potential as a great resource or reference.  In my opinion, people have a difficult enough time weeding through content; a website should at least give people the opportunity of knowing that there browser connection is to the correct server (especially if they might rely on it in some way).  Also, claims of "secure" may give people a false sense of security, if their data traffic (i.e., authentication credentials are readily visible to 3rd parties on the internet.)

Thanks so much for asking!  I hope this is helpful!!   

Perhaps an option to send private messages to other members.

I second this idea.

I would also like a mobile version of the site. Making it easier to read and comment on the site and forum from an iphone or other such devices.

Also would like a profile page that is accessible to all members so we can look up other members and see where they are from, access their private message option and also if the member want to include personal e-mail address. The only information that is on the page that is accessible to all members if what the actual member wants to publish.

I have belonged to several message boards over the years and this is a fairly typical thing.

This is news to me. I live in New Orleans ( just outside the city) and this is the first I have heard of this news. I know we are having a big It Gets Better Event and I am distributing iinformation for GLSEN because they were not able to send anyone to New Orleans but where did you hear that Chely was going to be in New Orleans?

SusanJane,
It is under UPCOMING EVENTS on the left-hand side of the main page of this site.... Here is the link to the info.... https://likeme.org/?p=593

Sea

Thanks for clearing that up. I submitted the information about the event for the calendar of events and know all the players and Chely was not on that list.. So you can understand what a surprise it was to read that post! 

There is a message board under lesbian for teachers.  Would it be possible to create a separate topic area for teachers/school employees that might be easier for people to find.  It also might be beneficial to also have an area for students of different age ranges to have their own space for messages.

Some great suggestions have been made.  I would have to say that I would totally love to see the regions or even just countries, after all i am Canadian. 

But i would also love to see the smartphone mobile access and a chat room.

Cheers all.
