I have two suggestions I'd like to throw out there.

It's very difficult for students to find products that have less than three sponsored reviews on them. Is there a way that the ones that are available could be placed in a different area? Unless it's a brand new item with no reviews on it, it's very hard and time consuming to sort through the ones that would be available.

Also, when it comes to uploading photos to reviews it ends up taking a long time because I can only do one at a time. If there was an option to upload several at once, it would save a load of time and be much easier!

Those are just a couple things I've had on my mind lately. I love Eden and I love the fact that everyone is always open to suggestions from the community! You guys ROCK!!! less

This is what a mentor is for. And this also applied to Kindled Fuego's question. When a student has trouble finding something, a mentor is supposed to help! I always have anyways. When my students say "okay, I just cannot find anything" or "it's too tough to search through to find something I'm eligible to review" I do the work for them. I collect a list for each student and do the searching myself and making sure it's eligible for them. Then I send them the list and we go from there.

Am I the only mentor who does this? I just assumed we all did. I feel like I'd be leaving my students in the dark if I just said "well, keep trying or wait til' something is available." There's always something and even when it's been sooo tough to find something you like available for review, there's always something. At least that's how it's been for me. I just keep trying until it works out. It takes up to 8 days at times, but I'm not going to complain about not getting something right away when it's due.

So, I highly recommend asking your mentors to pitch in here. And for those of you who are mentors, why not offer a helping hand? less

Hello everyone! Think of this thread as the official Community Suggestion Box. This month, we are focusing on general ideas and suggestions. What kinds of things would you like to see on Eden? The scope is your imagination and the current restrictions of an internet forum. The mention of chat rooms is strictly prohibited. CPM: August - 2012 - We discussed community activities. There were a couple of good suggestions and we're still open to hearing more ideas on how to get the community together and fun things to do during those times!CPM: July - 2012 - July's meeting was about the mentor program, and we were able to snag approval for a couple of those suggestions and hope to roll those out soon.CPM: June - 2012 - June's meeting inspired a call for some changes, some of which have been implemented, others are still to come.CPM: May - 2012 - Lots of updates and changes were made from these suggestions!CPM: April - 2012 - Almost all of the suggestions made in this month thread requiring changes in programming and thus time to get implemented but all suggestions have been noted and administrators will be discussing them in the next couple of weeks to see what we can get rolling in the near future. CPM: March - 2012) - First, month long thread to discuss your ideas which include requests for a different style of sorting features for the forum to filter out discussion types or users, update the forum categories, easier search requirements for assignments, and the option to filter what shows on your wall. In addition to those requests, there were also requests for the ability to sort people you are following by who is currently online and who is not, forum moderation to purge/delete/merge threads, and the option to not a view a contributor's activity at all but still follow them.

After reading a comment about what happened to a contributor over the Classifieds, I think there should be some kind of rating for the transactions. Just like a simple star rating. That way when we have people who are satisfied, they can rate us and when we have people who weren't satisfied we can still rate that. This would be sort of a warning rating to those who are thinking of purchasing future items. less

The Naked Reader Book Club no longer exists. However, if a similar situation like that occurs, simply right click the link and you should be able to copy the email address. With Firefox, if I right click the link, then click somewhere else on the screen, I can then mouse over the link and see the address. less
