Make you "Availability Assignment Form" interactive (Adobe function).
So it can be filled out on line and emailed all in one breath.

An "Edit Post" button would be very useful here on the forum. Unless of course I'm missing something, and it already exists.
Michael, there is an Edit button at the bottom, right of every post. One button says Quote, and the other one says Edit. The image of the buttom is below.Originally Posted by Michael Vincent Tang
You may not be able to edit your posts yet, or maybe you just haven't seen it before. I hope this will help. Good luck in all you do.
Have a wonderful week. Take care.
Ahh thanks for the response... I see it now. It didn't exist until today (and i'm not blind either!). I think it had something to do with my registration process.
Of all the suggestions I have read this is my favorite. In my previous life (career), I specialized in improving work flow and decreasing process time. I can truly appreciate Eloisa's suggestion. Online forms are a big plus!!Originally Posted by Eloisa Mooney

Hello:
I have read several comments regarding some of the forum members wanting to have the capability of viewing other member profiles as we were once able to do.
Please read below:

Was ther a reason for that change in policy?
I realize that some would prefer not to have their profiles veiwed publicly, fine, they do have that option.
However ther may be members who would like to stay in touch with others for info sharing on a private level.
Any members or staff care to add their views?

Les,
I agree with you. I do miss being able to view the profiles of my fellow IPIU members here in the forum.
It would be nice to have the option where if we wanted our profiles viewable to other members, it would be viewable; and for those who do not want their profile viewable, it would not be viewable.
IPIU, can this be looked into and possibly implemented?
Thanks for allowing us to submit our suggestions for your consideration.

The forms can be revised or changed when needed. You just need to make sure all the cells are made interactive (so they can hold data) everytime you change up the form.
I appreciate your comment.
Hi. My suggestion is to have a spell check built into the posting box instead of having to go to another webpage such as spellcheck.net and copy and paste your text to that site. It would cut down on steps and encourage all members to spell check their work. Thanks.
James,
I like your suggestion of having a spell check. It would be really nice to have a spell check feature within the IPIU forums.
Bridgett,
One way I got around not having spellcheck here is, I type my message in Outlook, spellcheck there and then cut & paste into the Forum. Works for me and makes it much easier on the reader!

This message is directed to the IPIU Marketing Dept. or anybody with a different perspective than mine,
I had my first interview w/ USIS last week, and I was MILDLY shocked with the HR Recruiter's question of "Are you able to work away from home one month at a time, for a minimum of 3 months in any one year?"
Please excuse my forwardness -- how up-to-date are we in terms of understanding the prospective employers' demanding schedules and workload?? My comment is this -- if we can understand their hiring requirements it would save time and energy on both sides with a realistic perspective whether we should apply to this company or not.
Looking ahead, I was wondering if IPIU has done any OUTREACH to insurance companies (for identity fraud) or financial companies (for credit card fraud) for us Newbies?? It's similar to a claims adjuster doing "property damage" reporting and fraud detection at Visa or MasterCard.
Any comment is appreciated and will be welcomed with an open mind and an open heart.
MILDLY shocked? I would be too. How referred you to USIS? What does that stand for? When they were asking that question were they referring to a particular line of investigation?Originally Posted by Susan Yee

Sonny, I am wondering exactly how this information could help you in any way in the forums and discussions?????
Just trying to understand your perspective.

07 07 04 Congratulations you have a new member on your list As I have been assigned to your group as my trainer and tutor. Looking forward to walking thru the doors of a new career. reguarding to member profile as being public should maybe consult with member at time of request???? Thanks Elmer Branch
Do you have this software?Originally Posted by Eloisa Mooney
Along with the others, this suggestion has been added.Originally Posted by Susan Yee
I was just wondering if I could make a suggestion here? I have read alot about the accessing of different levels but I was thinking about a better clarification for us newcomers. I was thinking in stead of getting the screen that we get when we don't have a high enough access that maybe you moderators or technical support could outline in the margin what is accessible for level 1,2,3,4 by putting the categories by levels. That way it would clear the way for anyone wanting to read more. That way also we wouldn't have to keep running into the you don't have access or permission screen. Just a thought.
Ms Tammy, I have merged your post into this SUGGESTION BOX: Post any ideas here! thread. Someone from the office will be able to read your suggestion here, and see if they want to use it. Thank you for your imput. Good luck in all you do.Originally Posted by Ms Tammy Ramirez

How about the "edit" button that was lost for many of us that are "digitally challenged"?
I second the emotion Fred!!Originally Posted by Frederick Budde
Christmas is coming soon. The EDIT button is #1 on my wish list.Originally Posted by Frederick Budde

On my wish list...
I would love to have an introduction link added to the drop-down box you get when clicking on a member's name. Using the "Find All Posts" is very helpful, but if the member has a lot of posts, it is hard to find their introduction.
I believe this would cut down on questions asked in other forums that should be asked in the member's intro. And it would definitely be easier to find an intro that is buried in pages and pages of other posts.
Brenda
Brenda, you have a very good suggestion there. Maybe we can get that introduction in the drop down some of these days.
Have a wonderful week. Take care.
Now that's a really great suggestionOriginally Posted by Brenda Templin
Brenda,Originally Posted by Brenda Templin
This is pretty easy to fine the introduction when doing the above task. It would be the last page really because that would be the 1st or 2nd post someone does when they first join the forum. Hope this hint help.
Aloha,
That's what I had thought, but not necessarily. If they are someone else has posted to the introduction after they have done many other posts, it ends up on some page in between.Originally Posted by Edward Taguba
Brenda
Grrr...I will be SO happy to get #1 on my wish list...the EDIT button. I meant to post another suggestion before hitting submit. And yes..."are" should have been "or". I thought I reread that before sending.
Anyway...#3 on my wish list...
When displaying with "Find All Posts", it pulls up only 500 of a member's most recent posts. I would love to have it pull up "all" posts by that member. Several times I've wanted to read a senior member's intro, but was unable to find it because it was lost in one of the 13 pages or not among the most recent 500.
Another point about my #2 wish (introduction link in the drop-down box)...
Because "Find All Posts" brings up only 13 pages of posts, if a person has posted more than 500 AND no posts have been made to their introduction topic during the time that they posted the last 500, it will not bring their introduction topic up.
Ok...I guess I've hit my limit of 3 Wishes. Thanks for the BEST forum on the internet!!!
Oh! And thanks for listening to the members so that we can help make the best even better!
Brenda
Hello,
We all can really use the EDIT function.
Can we have it back??

Maybe if we had the post number# it will cut down on search through pages.

Hi
I would also like to see the level of a person next to a name. I think it would save people from asking what level they are. Just a suggestion
Thanks
Penni
Thats a good suggestion Penni! The upper levels would be more aware of what information they could give or not give to aparticular member asking a question.Originally Posted by Penni Rogers
Lisa
Lisa, the best way to know what information can be given to the members, is just to remember what level forum you are writing your reply in. Only give level 4 replies in the level 4 forum. This way you will not run into any problems. I hope this will help. Good luck in all you do.Originally Posted by Lisa Frye
Have a wonderful weekend. Take care.
Frederick, this is why we can not "edit" at this time, Hopefully it will be fixed soon. "DJ"Originally Posted by Frederick Budde

I agree with the one that suggests that there's a level of privacy for each and every person here!
I see that when searching all posts by a specific member, it now brings up all...not just the most recent 500. Thank you!Originally Posted by Brenda Templin
Now...if only I could get those other Christmas wishes!
Hi,
Following Brenda's cue, I am too late for a Christmas wish, but I think a modification would be easier on-the-eye, namely this page -- http://www.ipiu.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=324 -- by having the Executive Agency's name EMPHASIZED or in BIGGER BOLDER PRINT, or have the Employment Opportunities and Ongoing Investigations and Office of the President "indented" as sub-topics.
I'd suggest that (if possible) we get the website software enabled so that members can take advantage of the "Send a private message" function. I'm not sure what downside there might be, but if it were a matter of members' privacy there's always the option of turning it off in the user control panel. I can think of many instances in which that would be a great benefit. Just my 1.5-cents.

Greetings IPIU, I've seen many members joined IPIU with just a dream, but through lack of funds was unable to continue this wonderful journey.
And, I longed for a number #7 Membership Plan that, would help new members that cant pay all the membership fees all at once. Maybe one with a small downpayment and a contract that wont start until the full fee is payed, sort of like a layaway Plan.
Just a thought. hmmmmmm
Have a happy holiday all.
