There's all ready tasks, games and blogs. If you could add another feature to this site, what would it be and why?

I would love it if they would add two things. One being that we can edit our comments after we have posted them. Such as when we misspell words. The other thing would be when we get best response marks we should get paid for that accomplishment, in my opinion.

fellow mylotters get firefox and its wonderful spelling checker that is builtin as it saves me from a lot of misspelled words that I just typed too fast. I would also like a way to edit things afer posting but suggested this before to mylot whom did not seem overly thrilled at the idea.

I like the idea of getting paid a bonus for getting a best response. That would be a nice enticement! I misspell a lot of words too. I don't really mind the fact that I can't edit my response. I can just comment below it with the correction.

I think I would like a section where members can contribute jokes and riddles. We need a little laugh in our life, don't we? And perhaps myLot could also add the number of views a discussion has received like some forums do. It'll give the discussion starter an impression of how many people have viewed their discussion even though they don't respond to the discussion.

I don't think I'd visit the joke area section that often. Not because I don't like to laugh, just because I'd rather be at a different part of the site. I never thought about the views option. That would be kind of neat. It would tell us how popular our discussion was. Maybe the more views, the better pay for the discussion creator? Who knows.

I would love to see a recipe sharing section because it's against the rules to post recipes in discussions. I think it's because they don't consider recipes to be worthy of discussions but I've gotten into some very extensive discussions about specific recipes. I love to try new recipes. I'm always finding new ones on the internet but I'd like to get them from people who've actually made them and can give tips or any personal "tweaking" they may do to common recipes.

Oh yes, mentalward, that is one section I would be very much interested in as I'm always looking for new dishes to cook for my family and sometimes because I can't find any, I would be cooking the same old thing over and over again. I would really like that very much.

I like that idea too! We usually cook the same recipes for dinner at my house. It gets pretty monotonous. I'd love to find some new recipes!
• United States

I think the recipe idea is not allowed because then people would literally copy, paste all day long instead of conversations and discussions, which is the idea for myLots. But recipe would be great add on.

I would like a chat section which sounds strange doesn't it seeing as this site is a form of chat. What I mean is, whenever anyone sees their friends online they have the option of chatting with each other, rather like MSN or Yahoo Messenger but within the MyLot site. Would they get paid for it? Probably not...then you would know who your REAL friends are..get what I mean?

Thank you! That said, I probably have more friends on here than I do in real life, how sad is that!
• United States
29 Jun 10
That's true for me as well! I have over 300 friends here. I don't think I could ever have that many friends in real life! I accept every friend request that comes my way.
• United States
29 Jun 10
That's a neat idea, Jenny. I know what you mean. I mean, we add people as friends on here, but we don't really know them. I guess thew's private messages for that, ut chatting seems so much more fun!

I would like to see a video section that users submit with discussions or by themselves in theirown section. I want this because you would be able expand clots capabilities and be able to get more people. Also both people and mylot can earn, as mylot can put commercials in the videos and get paid and used can get some rewards from watching

A video section would be an interesting addition tap. But I fear some of us may have low internet connection and may not be able to load the video properly or quickly. But a video section would make an interesting addition. I would fully support that.

Indeed, a video section would be cool. I actually thought about this before. I thought of a video section where you could upload your own videos and/or, if possible, post videos using embedded codes. But then again, the MyLot administration will have hard time maintaining it. This is a formal forum and some people might just post junk videos.
• United States

Agreed. That would be interesting. I know a lot of people don't have a goo Internet connection too. It is a nice idea though. It would benefit both myLot and the users. And entertain us when we can't t type anymore!

what about having a search feature that searches mylot people with any chosen interests. It can also have other things like the state or country or any specific things so that people can chat with people who have similar interests. I'm new by the way, so I don't think there is one like this here but would love to.

Welcome to myLot! That would be interesting. Maybe they could include that in the already existing search engine. It'd be nice to search people with the same interests. Then you could make more friends!

hi stephanieAnneC It would no be no way a chat room, as I like mylot for its uniqueness but a cooking section would be nice and also p oetry that is made into a discussion.righ now I do not think recipes are allowed or poetry either really.Other than that I would say lets keep My Lot as it is so it keeps its uniqueness all the time. I cannot think of any other additions that would not make it just another FaceBook and I for one do not want that at a ll.

I am really confused on how to do the tasks or blogs but I wish we could like play games and get paid like in competitions or something.

Well, we actually do get paid here for playing games. It's under Fun stuff--games. You have to sign up for wordwinner.com though. But, myLot does have games!

Maybe a weekly or a monthly contest section would be nice where winners get extra earnings. If this be added, I'll be sure to join it. ^_^

Yah! It would be a very nice option to myLotters to earn more.

Hmmm..let me see.... that would be something having to do with music so we can have some music while doing our tasks here.
• United States
29 Jun 10
I like that idea! But then again, I could play music off my computer while I'm myLot. It would be kind of neat to be able to do that though!

I personally think myLot should distinguish between question-like and discussion-like topic. For the former, the starter can set best response which has solved his question best, and maybe myLot can give a reward for the accomplishment like lelin said. but for the latter, we should pay more attention to rating system and participation of starter and responders.

In addition, I support the suggestion of adding edit fully!
• United States
29 Jun 10
Agreed. I think having a reward for best responses would be a nice enticement! I've gotten a few best responses and they have made me quite proud. It means my work is paying off and I'm helping others.

I would vote for personal chat window of some sort, but then would probably also be against the purpose, or even an open chat for all to view and instantly post something, especially if people are waiting for responses. LOL Just a thought!
• United States
30 Jun 10
That's a good thought! Most people have seemed to have a fondess to the idea, if you've read the other responses in this thread. I like the idea of a chat. I'd definitely use it!

How about a sort function for the friends part? You know, put them into groups and we can find them easily. One other thing would be private messages from those who are not on our friends list, how about we can send pm to strangers but there's an option whether to accept it.

You can sort your friends alphabetically, which makes it easier to find them on your list without having to scroll through every blasted page. That was a good change that mylot made recently. Although, I wish everyone used it, because sometimes I want to look at someone else's friends' list and they haven't sorted them. *sigh*

1)Quote system. Where i can quote what people said. Why? It's easier to respond back when there'e quote in it and it's easier to understand for the third party reader. 2)Respond to discussion in general, not person by person only. Why? Because some people have similar respond.

Once you have made it to 500 posts (you are only at 55 now), you will be able to copy and paste. Using the copy and paste, you can then use mylot code (to the left of the response box, when responding) to use the "I" for Italics and put it in quotation marks ("Italics") to show that.
• United States
30 Jun 10
I like the quote idea. It would indeed make it so much easier to respond. I'm all for that idea! Good idea!
30 Oct 10
Firstly I would take away the "response" button if you've already responding to a discussion as this would avoid members responding twice. (myself included) I would to see an option to accept friends in one go, instead of approving each of individually and this would also be included when removing people. I would like to see options when posting such as TinyMCE or their own system to make posting more fun and quicker. I'm sure I could think of more but my minds suddenly gone blank LOL

i think it would be cool if they have the chat thing on here like facebook, myspace and sidkick. so you could chat with different people on your friends list to get to know them

It's nice to have a top poster of the day area in Mylot. Posters would definitely be thrilled to see their names on that least. Though this may demand time for the administration to monitor the discussions and responses members will post. But I really think this idea is great. Being able to make the list of the top posters will definitely be a good experience and achievement for Mylot members.

I want they add indicator for our friends online. We can target our discussion to such members if we can see them online or we can make real time communication using Private Message feature. I think it's wonderful if we can communicate and make relationship more than just friend in discussion. I don't mean nothing, but It's nice to hear story from many others country here without violating the discussions guidelines.
