Hello folks If you are an After Hours frequenter, you might have seen a sitewide feedback thread recently. One of the many great points raised were that individual fora could benefit from feedback threads locally. So, we'd like your views.

Hello folks

If you are an After Hours frequenter, you might have seen a sitewide feedback thread recently. One of the many great points raised were that individual fora could benefit from feedback threads locally.

So, we'd like your views. What you like about the forum (and maybe where we can build on that) what you don't like and how we can fix those bits, and just general ideas and suggestions that you feel could make this a better forum.

To keep all the information together, this feedback thread will cover all the sub fora too - but just mention which forum your feedback relates to - abbreviations such as TTC, ASD N&T, Preg are fine for this thread.

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions!

Parenting.

I feel people who just browse here sporadically, tend to rush in and comment very harshly against single/separated fathers too much. Not sure if there's much that can be done on it, but I find that a bit off putting.

Do you think that a dedicated fathers chat thread would help encourage separated /single dads to post more, or would that have the effect of single dads feeling more marginalised?

I'd be unimpressed by generalisations made against single parents, so as a mod, I'd act on it if I saw a reported post.

I know there was a forum request for a single parents forum a while back but it didn't get the numbers required and there was a chat thread, but it didn't get many posters at all which is a shame.
