What features would you like to see next?
Hi everyone!

We value the community input, and want to hear what you have to say about the future of myTimeHero.com.

We want to know what it is that you want to see next in terms of site features. We already have News Stories, Instant Messaging, Chat, Groups, Forums, Games, Photos, Blogs and more. Now, we want to know what else you think you'd value.

For instance, we've been considering adding topical articles that address a variety of topics. So you'd be able to find research papers and other articles on Health, Living, Sports, Retirement Planning, Travel, etc. So rather than just reading News (via our Stories page) you can read actual articles written by professionals.

Is that a feature you'd be interested in?

Please, share your own ideas by posting a reply below!

The sites coming along great guys! a couple things that might be useful in future upgrades would be:

an audable IM alert, theres been quite a few times i've had instant message invites that i didn't notice until long after the person signed off.

Notice when new groups are formed and posts/discussion forums are added (this could be added to the "my home" page)

a permanent "community chat room" might also be a welcome addition

Maybe a notice when there's been a post made to a group since last you were there? Or a notice that says when the last post was made.

As well as Troll and Jen's idea, I'd like to see "group" photo albums. Where all members could contribute photos to the group site, for all to enjoy.

I also like the idea of a audio alert for IM. I too have missed an invite or two because I didn't see it.

I'd like to be able to see messages the I've sent to others. I can only see messages sent to me. I would also like to be able to delete messages in groups, to free up space, rather than one at a time.

I like the idea of a notice of "new groups", rather than having to go to the groups page and sift through all groups. New post notices would also be a welcomed change (I believe we have that already, oops!)

As far as professional papers, I wouldn't mind that option, but I am just as happy with the current stories section that we do have. I would love to see more articles specific to our generation with regard to retirement and ways to increase your success to achieve retirement status. Articles on aging, health, fitness geared toward "time hero" ages - would also be appreciated.

Thank you both for all of your good work. I'm enjoying this site immensly. It's nice to have a place to visit where your not bombarded with extranious sounds and images.

Regards to all
