I am also working on a system to increase the number of new users entering bills, via allowing anonymous bill entry without registering.«
Why not just create a user "Anonymous", password "anonymous" and put that info right on the home page for people to use, if they don't want to register? Of course, that would skew the stats, I guess.

It would be nice to have statistics showing how many users there are on this site and where they are located. It might also be interesting for users to display how they found out about the site.

On the user details page, it might be nice to be able to click on the number of bills entered by that user to view those bills (if they have enabled that). The same goes for the number of hits.

I agree with POOGA that it would be nice to know which users entered the bills when viewing bill history.

Some people mentioned that in order to keep the same Comments for multiple bill entries, they click back on the browser. I do that too, but I've found that it doesn't always work (IE). What if the comments are automatically copied forward, the way that location, province, date and time are?

I'd like it if it were easier to find new messages in the message board, for example by being able to sort by date.

Also, how do you show where you are located on the user details page? On mine it just says "not specified" and I don't see anything in the profile/prefs page to change it. Also, it says my age is "2001"????

Those are all good suggestions and I will try and incorporate most of them in the next major release, which, as I said, should be sometime around mid-September.

The message board will definitely be undergoing a major overhaul. I threw the message board code together in an afternoon one day, so it's do for an update for sure. :)

Another suggestion dr, might be to do another round of message archiving!

Man, I can't believe how much we like to yak around here!

Yeah, how many people do you think will come on down to page 28 to read these messages. It's almost like stamping bills. You have to want to it baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. Hey, congrats to those that put thier mind to it and made it this far, you'll do well as a tracker. At least a message tracker. Keep working on the money part of things.

When Pooga said there is 28 pages i though it had to be the Last page everyone would look on..

Never crossed my mind to reverse the dates. Great suggestion. Scrolling through was becoming painstaking. With the recent rush of new members if you miss a day there's a 75 messages. Pretty interesting cross section of humanity.
