I'm really excited for this new space in the withdrawal community. It's desperately needed! Thanks for all the hard work that went into it. I'd love to see some graphics on the home page; I think it would look nice and be eye-catching. I guess I'm so used to the platform from Surviving Antidepressants, but it would be great to be able to highlight and quote certain sections of someone's post that you can specifically reply to. It would also be great if we could "like" peoples' posts. In addition, Is there a way to add emojis? Those are just some suggestions that I have. I'll let you know if I think of anything else. Again, thanks so much for this wonderful site!

Awesome! thanks for the suggestions. As the build is still new, a few time Ive tried to add additional feautres I just ended up breaking certain aspects. So until I have a good grasp on all the bugs, Im going to start out a list of features for the next update, and your notes will be used! A few comments. -The intro screen eventually will have info from your drug check ins. I will make a demo video describing how to use all the fueatures, it comes together better once the checkins are activated. -quoting sections of msgs is a great idea, definitely will add. -Liking for now is up-voting in a reddit style, maybe liking is better I agree Thanks for your suggestions, I do this on a volunteer basis so please forgive me if things break along the way

As a side note, I wanted you to know that I shared a link to your site on the Announcements page of Surviving Antidepressants. Since I'm a Mentor, I still have the ability to post for the time being. Much success with the new site! -Catina

Maybe it's just me, but I'm having an issue where I go to post something and then it doesn't post. I just posted a bunch of posts that had links in them in the Library section. Each time I had to refresh the page, which caused me to lose whatever I had just typed. The only way around this was to copy what I had written, refresh the page, and then paste everything back in. As soon as I did that it would post, but it never posted anything the first time. Maybe it's the browser I'm using? I'm using the Brave browser. I don't know what's going on, but I wanted to make you aware of it. I'm not sure if anyone else has had issues like this. Thank you!

Hi BP! Hope you're doing well. It would be great if when we post a link, it would actually post as a hyperlink that people could click on. As it stands now, the links are not posting that way. Is there a way to add this feature? Thanks!

Will there be a way to edit fonts (i.e. bolding or italicizing) or to add bulleted lists? Also, will there be a way to add images to our posts? Just some more thoughts from my brain lol!

Hey BP! What font size is being used for the site? I'm wondering if a slightly bigger one might make things easier to read. Let me know your thoughts! 🙃

Is there a way to separate medications by line so they’re more easily read under our posts? In the preview window it was separated by line and much easier to read. I see Catina used bars to help visually separate each medication and that helped! Just wondering if a line break is possible instead.

Thanks for bringing this up. I initially tried doing it this way and it wouldn't accept it. They've been really great about listening to suggestions, so I'm sure they'll try to implement it. ☺️

I'm still having an issue where I will try and post something and it won't post....it just freezes....and then I have to do a page refresh. I'm not sure if it's just me or what. Hopefully it can ironed out. I know the site is brand new and these things take time to work though sometimes. Thank you!
