Tho I like a friends network... I fear it'll develop cliques that keep many out... I could be wrong and enjoy it... I like where blogs are the network because they seem to be open to all and encourage participation. I would like to be able to click on a spot organized for PS problems where things aren't working. Perhaps under 'resources".

On another not: many poets including myself, agree you should limit the numbers of poems we can submit in one day. I think 5 a day is very reasonable.~ Just the other day a poet posted over 30 poems, and another poet posted over 10 different poems including others that are constantly posting over 5 poems a day. It is a poem of the day killer. This is one of the reasons I don't post as much. anyways..i hope you are considering that change... love pd

Many of us here at the soup, feel TPS should limit the amount of poems every individual poet can post a day. anything over 7 poems is absurd...

Soup, poets hardly use the chat room. Maybe you can add a feature that allows us to talk to each other through an open chat box on the side of our incoming poems. Other sites have a small simple chat box out in the open. The chat box here is to complicated.

I had some suggestions for improvements to the contest administration area and soupmailed you. Did you ever get my soupmail? I never got a response.

I'm not a life time poet, but~~~ How come were they removed from the front page. I see only the PM's.... I know you can look them up by clicking by on the side of "PoetrySoup News" but, come on they deserve to be posted above all your PM's... it might inspire others to join your life time poets... either than that i do not mind the changes.. except the one on the contest page from a while back... thank you soup. for all you pull...pd

yes, on the tab..... next to the tab "PoetrySoup News: however, I did enjoy checking on the old way where the names were visible when you clicked on the home page.. Soup, no matter... your changes are great.

Lifetime poets are identified by the crown next to their name. Also, they are on the "Soupers For Life" tab on the home page.

I like seeing the pictures of the top community builders here! And I don't mind all the changes. But please can you restore my ability to use the backward arrow when I am commenting from one of my poetry pages and trying to go back to it again and again. Also so I can get back to contest pages easily again or navigate old pages of my poetry friends. The arrow key was so useful to do those three things and I really miss it!
