 Now that we are all breathing life into this place and that this place is really for us all...what would you like to see to make this place more accomodating? 1..A number of us would like a place to load pictures. 2..I was thinking of adding a chat feature 3..PattiB is thinking about having a prominent feature that identifies this place, like a logo or mascot graphic. 4...I'm pretty happy with the colors here, but what do you folks think? 5...JudyB has a map of where quiters reside that she has shared with us. 6...Auntie Pat has been superb with the rememberance of Certificates of Achievement. We might also be able to use the Calendar feature available here to help in that process somehow (I'm just shooting ideas here). 7..we can "Sticky" certain conversations so that some stuff, like Roll Call or the infamous "Ingredients of a Cigarette" can always be found at the top of the list of conversations. Any thoughts folks?? What's on your wish list? |

I really like the "Jump To Bottom" and "Return to Top" features you added. It sure beats scrolling through everything you've already read to get to the new posts. Thanks for making things easier for us.

I've just added 2 things to the board: - A Visit Counter at the bottom middle of the main page
- A Chat button on the bottom left of each page...tho' I might just move it to the main page only in the future.
Surprisingly, I think ParaChat was the same chat program that was in use on Just4u when I came on several years ago. I signed on, registered and tested serveral others and found ParaChat to be one of the simplest of the ones I tried. The goal was always to make a chat room exclusively for our use. Many places only offer you their rooms. Not to mention...I was feeling like I had entered a dark alley in serveral of the chat arenas. [glow=orange,2,300]shudder[/glow] I had forgotten how wierd the Internet can be sometimes. Don't know if it'll get much use, but it's there for us. Please note:Freebie services usually deluge you with popup ads and such, so be warned. ParaChat and the others I tested all do it....kill the pop ups when encountered! Also in the news...Icons might change a bit as I experiment with some new ones I just came across. Please excuse my mess at times. |

Mess excused. Love the chat button. I have a pop-up stopper and had to disengage it to open the chat. Just wanted to let anyone else out there know incase you encounter this problem. One icon I would love to see changed/enlarged is the login button. These old eyes ain't what they used to be.  |

FYI This search brings up Judyb's web page on page 1 and southbeachfriends on page 2. Without the just4u in the search I get nothing. interesting? Anyways, Judyb should change the link on her web page to point to this board as well..right now it only points to southbeach. see for yourself: search results here |

Angelfire is pop-up city oh my
Judy
the search I posted had your page on the bottom of page one and southbeach in the middle of page 2. I origanally found just4u from that geocities hotsprings info page....they must have recently changed the links from just4u.com to southbeach.com. Hopefully you can get them to change the link to here!!!!
I did submitt this site address to google. It takes time to get listed on a search tho.

When you submit the link here to a search engine or web index or directory- what should the description of this site be to attract the most hits? This is what I just used to submit to Dmoz.org the Human Directory project. Here is the link to where it would show up in the directory: dmoz.org/Health/Support_Groups/Smoking_Cessation/Smoke Busters Just4U - title A lively message board offering support to anybody that wants to quit smoking or stay quit. Formerly Just4u/Southbeach Friends. -Description used What do you think? |

 The description sounds good! I used that link in case any of y'all want to put out a link. If not, I can visit a few a day...I'm looking for my "blurb".

That sounds like a good idea Ann
Can't hurt. When you get the info on adding the
web ring info at the bottom of the page let us know.
Post it in admin updates.
