the Free Hypnosis Social Network
Don't Stop Now!
…Because we still aren’t satisfied. Yes, we have the fastest growing hypnosis community in the world. Yes, this site has been called the most valuable resource in all of hypnosis. Yes, we have had over 100 people join the site in the last week (again). Yes, in the last month alone we have had visits from 126 different countries. And of course, we have great contributions from so many people every single day I couldn’t possibly take the time to thank you all
For most people that would be enough. All that great progress just motivates me to work harder for you all and make this site even better. I’d like to give you all a quick heads up about exactly what that means for all of you.
As you could see in the picture, FAQ Mark is hard at work at HypnoThoughts headquarters, and we are testing some upgrades and new features that you will be excited about.
A Change in the Discussion Forum
This site gets around 1,000 visits and hundreds of new contributions every single day. Keeping this organized is a big job, and the moderators team does a great job helping do exactly that. One request that has been made is that we change the way we organize the replies in the discussion forum. Until now, you have been able to inject your reply anywhere in a discussion. If a topic had 30 replies and you disagreed with the 16th, you could reply to it and it would show up indented before number 17. That gets very confusing when you have over 100 replies to a discussion and it makes things very difficult to track.
From now on everything will go in chronological order. If you click on the “reply to this” link now it will quote that part of the discussion for you to directly reply to. This is how many online forums organize their conversations, and it will make sense as soon as you see it. If I get a lot of complaints I will consider changing it back, but I’m going to give it a few weeks for people to get used to it.
New Features are Coming
We asked, you answered, and we started building. The survey we sent out a few weeks ago asked what features you wanted, and we are going to do our best to give you guys what you wanted. We want to support more than just your online continued education, we want to help support your practice and financial well being. We have a few new applications that are going to (hopefully) help you do that.
We are going to be rolling out a new professional referral feature when we hit 4,000 members. It will allow you to search for a practitioner by location and specialty. You will be able to enter all your professional contact information including (but not limited to) your address, a description of your services, searchable meta tags and meta data, and a link to your website that will be highly searchable and indexed by Google.
I’ve been promising video conferencing for a while now, and like the chat, have played with a few options I haven’t been satisfied with. There are a few upgrades coming out in the next few months that I am eagerly anticipating and will launch when the behind the scenes testing deems them worthy. We have plenty more in store for all of you. I have no shortage of ideas, because as you can see, I get a lot of requests and feedback from all of you. Please keep them coming and we will see what we can build together.
Thanks to all of you who continue to promote this site. If you want to help this community grow, put a badge and a link on your websites, announce it on facebook, linked in, myspace, etc. Tell your colleagues and friends why they should become an active member of this great community.
Talk to you soon,
-Scott

It is an excellent point. I 'm sure we can train folks.

Sheila M. Street, CH CI T.NLP said:Hi:
I'd like to make the suggestion (and maybe it could be spread around a bit and encouraged) that especially with responding to longer posts, that only the relevant ideas to which you are responding be retained in the "quote" portion.

Man, I look GOOD in that picture.
Wait til you guys see the new stuff Scott's been cooking up. The guy doesn't know any programming languages, he just tinkers with something over and over until it does what he wants or he relentlessly questions and talks to programmers until something gets done. We rarely find anything that is working "out of the box" the way we need it to for this community, especially with the obscure "let's figure out a way to give it away for free even if that is more difficult than charging for it" mentality Scott seems to have.
He's got a few really exciting ideas that we are trying to turn into a reality. Some of them are really big (like the Global Hypnosis eSummit) and it's cool to see a new approach to the same tools. The only problem is he has freakishly high standards, so we've scrapped a few things that would have ended up on other sites. Quality control is at an all-time high!
Let me know if you have any questions about this new organizational style,
~FAQ Mark
I agree, by the way, that people don't need to copy the entire comment they reply to, just the relevant part.

Thanks for the update to thread structuring on the forum... Chronological-order-posting makes much more sense from a clarity-of-thread pov, and when people get used to it I feel it will really improve the flow of discussion here.
Thanks,
Adrian

Isn't "Change" the national buzz word? LOL You should get used to this, IMHO much superior system, quite fast.
I like it Scott, keep those improvements coming!

There are a couple of things to think about, I think, but I would suspect that the most important is that he wasn't ready: either to work on his issues or to use hypnosis to do it.

Perhaps among us are illusionists who can enlighten and explain to the uninformed how this is done.
