Site features
Over the past few months, I have been responding to comments and adding some features to this site. A few weeks ago, one of our users suggested a pure date-driven sort of the comments to a blog post. I added the user-configurable ability to sort comments by date, and have them display flat or nested (comments replying to other comments rather than the main post are listed directly below the comment to which the user is replying).
Others have been asking where to start, or what are the most helpful posts, since there the amount of content has grown to a substantial volume, thanks to all of you who have participated and contributed. So today, I added user ratings for blog posts (see the five stars and the link "rate" under each post - but not rating of other's comments - yet), so that the most useful blog entries can be bubbled up to the top (I will add the list to the right column, once we have enough votes), as another starting point for new members of this site.
I also added the ability to subscribe, via email, to individual posts, comments, or topics. However, I took it off after Melissa suggested that it was too complicated (for her ;-) ). What do you think?
In any case, if others of you have suggestions, let me know, and I will try to implement them for you, to make this site more useful to all of you. As an aside, I just completed a major technology upgrade to the site today (happy labor day), so many of these changes should be a bit easier to implement.
Post your suggestions as comments to this forum post.

ability to subscribe, etc.
==> as a tech savvy person i appreciate the ability to subscribe via email, to individual posts, comments, or topics...but can certainly figure it out on my own if necessary. the search box certainly has been very helpful to me, would a site map possibly be helpful to others? not certain as to how it was originally set-up before it was taken off, a one click "subscribe here" after a post, or topic would certainly be simple enough (but i may be biased).
==> if i recall correctly, the first-time i happened upon this forum not too long ago, a newbie preferred not to "be found" by her ADD partner lurking on this and similar forums on the subject of ADD. she, the non-ADHD partner, wanted exactly that: the ability to subscribe via email, to individual posts, comments, or topics. she even suggested a facebook "add as friend"....to connect with those in a similar situation. (it doesn't seem like the OP has returned since that entry.)
==> i do recall an entry by melissa, that gave a poster a step-by-step on how to use this forum. perhaps, you as the ADHD partner can write your own step-by-step (from your perspective) perhaps a FAQs section with a How-To subsection? i've learned that if i gave DH a simple list (limited between 5 to 7 items), he was more likely to complete a majority of them.
==> OTOH, i'd like to thank you for your post "enlightened"??? and melissa's "The Care and Feeding of a Non-ADD Spouse". you continue to be an inspiration to those of us in marriages/ relationships between non-ADHD partners and ADHD'ers.
subscription
I'd really like to be able to subscribe to follow responses to a topic, since I tend to forget to check web sites daily.
Subscriptions
Melissa and I are working on a simple subscription process, so that you can subscribe via email to specific new content related to either a forum topic or responses to a particular blog post or even a response to a comment. The one I originally installed provided too many options (could subscribe to about anything on the site), so Melissa has asked me to simplify it a bit.
Couples Group
My ADHD hubby and I live in southern Maine. We are in need of couples therapy to help organize our life and deal with the stresses of my hubby's issues. Your class in June sounded like something we could use. Do you have any plans to do this again? Are there any life coaches in this area to help my husband? HELP!
