suggestions please

Comment Published at 19:4619:4620 comments20 comments110 Visits110 VisitsReport

 We need some of your input.

We are currently redesigning the Q&A page. People will be able to ask a question straight from the page, rather than clicking a link to another input form/page.

On the page we also want to link to a list of common questions to save people asking the same questions over and over.

We need suggestions from you!

What types of questions do you think we should highlight?

Feel free to suggest as many as you would like...

for example...

  1. toilet training
  2. teething
  3. am i pregnant
  4. miscarriage
  5. bleeding during pregnancy

Please help

Re: suggestions please

Those ideas are great but also is it possible if you post a question annonymously can the writer of the question be able to reply as well annoymously to the answers given, eg, if a person replying to the original question needs more info from the writer, the writer can write back without revealing who they are. Alot of the times there are some people who want to remain annonymous when they write the question but dont want to answer back because then there identity is revealed and they would have to post up a new question relating to the first question as thats the only way to keep there annonymity. Hope you get what i mean.

 yes - i get what you mean and would love that functionality too.

however - realistically it is a fairly big job and i dont think it will get over the line in regards to priority over other tasks we have on our list.

sorry

Re: suggestions please

I think links at the top of the QA page is a great idea and would curb a lot of the repeat questions... BUT..... I think you still need to be a little careful as some people do not have the time to search page after page to get the exact answer they need at the time. It could be urgent to their emotional state, ect...

I would hate to see if someone asked a commonly asked question, have a response along the lines of... this is a commonly asked question and should not be here, why don't you follow the links.... Know what I mean?

Maybe before a question is posted there should be some sort of prompt to search for the related topic initially.  Then a prompt along the lines of "Can't find what your are looking for? Post a question." or "Go here", something along those lines.

Re: suggestions please

I think all 5 of your examples are great ones. Another one would be about settling babies eg, controlled crying.

Re: suggestions please

That's a good one Juzzy, it applies all the way through the age groups, just when you think you have it down pat, they change!

* Introducing foods to baby.

* Healthy snack  for children.

* Disciplining toddlers/children/teens.

* Problems with inlaws/family.

* Separating parents.

* Depression/Low Self Esteem.

* Financial Issues.

* Drugs/Alcohol Addiction.

* Children with special needs.

Re: suggestions please

That sounds awesome and adding the link to similar questions is a great idea... How about you give the person a list of topics to choose from, then the page goes to a search on that topic BEFORE they post the question.  Include a box for 'other' so that they can type in something that isn't on the list provided & search that automatically before posting too.

Re: suggestions please

PS, maybe you could get rid of the 'know a lot' option for people replying so that we don't end up with so many comments posted in the advice section.

Re: suggestions please

Maybe change the wording to make it much much more obvious that it is writing advice...
