^ Yeah, UrumqiExpat. Basically all it would be would be a personals section featuring goats and yaks. |

Don't let members with more than 100 posts submit more than 5 posts/day to the main page. Let them have a separate page where they can post as much as they want about whatever random crap they want.
Just kidding, but only kind of. |

A separate section for English teachers where they can discuss their favourite issues such as (1) Is it easy to get a teaching job in Shanghai (2) Is it true I can earn 20,000 RMB per month without any qualifications (3) It's amazing here, I just feel so special - please discuss me (4) Can I teach on an L visa. |

How about a Pit that isn't really moderated to death and made to look like a kindergarten? |

What about an embedded google shexpat user map? shexpat members could be allowed to contribute (or you sync approved contributer's maps to shexpat's)? Google map is now supporting videos, photos and wikipedia. Best of all it's free.
Edit - so, I see you've got the embedded google map - my bad - well, it can still be pumped up with user contributions and adding the video and pictures. |

That could simply be password controlled chat rooms, right?
But may I ask...why? 
Couldn't those of you who want to do this just PM everyone and go on Skype for example? |

maybe we already have and left you out.
Suggestions:
locking posts that are a zillion years old and have no value anymore.
sometimes using the search function can pose problems. For example, after clicking on a thread it will display in plain text rather than the regular coding format. It is text only and won't let you reply/respond etc.
ban nathalie
a cleaner look would be nice. Maybe code with CSS, or something a little more Web 2.0. The coding of this website is outdated.
make it easier to format text. A WYSIWYG text editor would be great.
Outside of the forum there is too much extra stuff. I would suggest the erroneous info be eliminated or organized better. I'm sure 80% or more users use the forum only. Some of the articles are great. The job site is AmCham's system, right? Also, the personals are from World Friends.
If everything was a little more organized, it would be easier to navigate the site. If all the info was cataloged better, it would be much easier on the eyes. Notice the repetition?
All in all it's a great site. Great info, just needs spring cleaning and a change of look. |

A private forum for established/real expats would be helpful. The whole basis of a forum is that those who care to look and participate can, and those who don't want to can ignore it. A PM or Skype system would obviously force everyone to participate all the time, which is definitely not what I want.
I just want to have at least one forum where when I post something and get trolled, at least I know it's by legitimate established expats. =P
And I second (or possibly 5th or 6th) banning nathalie forever. =P |

- Have a function where it allows each account user to pull down the forums (open chat, travel, food etc) they are interested in and hide the forums they do not read.
- Allow us to edit colours etc without previewing the post.
Keep up the great work. |

Have your moderators move threads from Q&A into their appropriate subsections, where obviously applicable. Makes the search more effective. |

yes delete Q and A. Most of new topics include Questions, and some responses have Answers.
This will keep things more categorized. |

Sticky's for travel information.
Subways maps. Street maps.
Dedicated threads / topics for scams and tourist traps and warnings - safety issues. |

Deleting this thread would be a first step in the right direction. |

this site is at about 885,000 posts - create a prize and advertise for the one millionth post - will bring in new visitors and increase Ad clicks.
Just find a way to make sure snappysammy, coffeehawk, nat, bougie, and magnolia behave. |
