I know that we all think myLot is the bee's knees and the cat's pajamas rolled up on sliced bread, but I'm sure you have ideas for how it could be better. This discussion it to let myLot know what we would like to see to make using myLot easier. I have a few suggestions:
1) When creating a discussion it would be really nice to have rich text editing capabilities (there are many opensource implementations myLot).
2) As an extension of #1, I would love it if discussions could be formatted better. They can be really hard to read as the text is small and the font face has small kerning.
3) I wish I could add interests to my profile by browsing a directory tree vs. having to type in a tag. This might already exist, but the way that navigation is organized I might have missed it.
How about you?

I really like the idea of the directory of tags because if the tag I type doesn't exactly match others, I may be missing a lot of discussion that I miss. I wish we had the capability of using formatting such as bold or italics...color would be wonderful. I wish we could copy and paste without having to reach 500 (isn't it). I could use it at times to help inform some people more when trying to help them with certain topics.

I agree with the copy/paste thing. I understand that they are trying to stop comment spam, but there are other uses that they are prohibiting. For example, if I were to type my comments in another program and then try to transfer it into the discussion box. However, I have found a way around the copy/paste limitation, using some programming. I didn't post about it here, because I don't think it would be fair to myLot. I sent them a message telling them that I could help fix the vulnerability, but they never got back to me. Oh, well.
