I do not know what software is used for the site, but it might be good if there was one day a way to search the member list for people by their area. There are many members and there is a possibility some people are in the same area, and they might be interested in meeting others who practice the Dharma in their area.

It would be good to have a regularly updating "who's online" area and what thread they are viewing. I know it tells you who is online when logged on but it would be good to see also what they are viewing. This will help to broaden interest and build a sense of community.

If donations or/and support is required to improve this forum, may I suggest that is made known.

I don't think there is such a funcationality but I will look in the search features and let you know more.

Thanks,

This feature already exists in the forum software but I have it turned off. I noticed that most people were loggin off as soon as they saw others logged in. I got the impression that most members wanted to browse anonymously and not let others get an idea of how much time they spend on these forums!

If there is more interest, I can consider turning this feature on.

This feature is now turned back on.
