Captain Ewok,

Thanks for putting up the portals page. In a recent thread you stated that suggestions to make this page better are welcome, so I am making this thread to do just that.

The Portals Page

My first impression of the page brings me to the following two suggestions...

Don't show the entire posts .. something more like the format that you get from the "New Posts" shortcut on the forums page which displays

Topic Title Forum Topic Starter Replies Views Last Action

but only topics STARTED by country specific posters... and a configurable number of posts being displayed per page (or at least more than five posts and more than one page accessible) Considering the high number of posts being made by members with a beneficiary from my country of choice and the amount of time that I am available to invest in browsing VJ, it is unlikely that I will be able to find information within those 5 posts that is pertinent to my current case status, however it is likely that I will miss many posts that are pertinent.

It would also be nice to choose which forum to view country specific posts from, at the point I am at right now my interest would be in the Foreign Embassy and Consulate General Discussion Forum .. in the past it would have been K-1 General Discussion Forum .. in the future it will be something else, but it would be nice if I could view forums that are specific to my current situation.

At this point I will cease with further suggestions until I know if these two are possiblities, as I don't feel that the portals page will be of much assistance to me as far as researching goes if they are not possible; I do, however, like the information available on the side panels of the page and will use the page for that purpose if for nothing else.

Capt. Ewok...

Since I was the first to discover it, I should have first crack at suggestions / potential upgrades of the Portals Page (Beta). Please extend the list of those living in your area to anywhere from 10 - 20 member views. Also, when you click on view all, there is no search criteria for those living in your area. More suggestions to come. I did not want to let this thread fade away but I have to think about other things myself and potentially others would like to see. Of course, just small quick updates because I'm sure that you have better things to do... Thanks!!!

By the by, it's a very cool addition and I really like being able to see the new members so that I can pass on some of the information that we have accumulated on the K1 process for the Manila Embassy.

As always... Cheers!!!

I plan to update the Portal Page more this weekend or sooner :). Great tips! Should the portal page be more obvious (is it used a lot)?

I like it alot! Is there a more obvious " tab" to get to it, other than though "My Assistant"?

Take a large, almost round, rotating sphere about 8000 miles in diameter, surround it with a murky, viscous atmosphere of gases mixed with water vapor, tilt its axis so it wobbles back and forth with respect to a source of heat and light, freeze it at both ends and roast it in the middle, cover most of its surface with liquid that constantly feeds vapor into the atmosphere as the sphere tosses billions of gallons up and down to the rhythmic pulling of a captive satellite and the sun. Then try to predict the conditions of that atmosphere over a small area within a 5 mile radius for a period of one to five days in advance!

I think I have mostly updated the page with all your suggestions. :) I can improve the page fwd/back feature I know.... :P I also have not added the ability to pick how many Topics to show at once. I have reduced the topic to a summary / scrolling window. I have made the local member list show ten by default. Whew!!

you must not be able to display more than 5 posts on the portal page; as well you must not be able to display only posts from a specific forum (foreign embassy and consulate general discussion). I assume these things because you didn't address that suggestion either by post here or changes to the portal

is there any way to search specific forums (not the entire board) and if so can you search that forum for posts made by members from a certain country?

Thanks

Donnie and Sylvia

I added a simple way to view more or less topics per page (five or ten). I also refined the page change menu.

You probably thought I forgot about this! Nope :). I have now added this feature. I am thinking this is probably one of the most useful tools for all members (seriously). Now members can go find posts from people from their country not only in general but specifically tuned to the portion of the immigration journey they are at (example is to list topics from Brazil only made in the K1 Forum). It should make it easy for new members especially to find out a bunch of information on the step of the journey they are at.

Hopefully this turns out as good as I am hoping!

Thank you CountryBoy for the EXCELLENT idea!!
