Hi all:

Here is my website- Listeningtoparents.org. The discussion Board is "What Parents Say in Your State". The purpose is to give people adopting children from foster care the opportunity to share their experiences. I think it can be a catalyst for making child welfare more responsive and getting more children adopted from foster care. I worked really hard to get it to this point. But I have 2 concerns. First, there are there are some bugs. I've struggled to fix them, but I feel a little over my head.

Second, maybe it is just a confidence thing, but I would really like someone who knows what they are doing to go through the site and just tweak it- make sure that it all works as a discussion board before I send out introductory emails to 400 adoptive parent support groups announcing the site.

I think the site can be a catalyst for change- making it easier for children in foster care to find adoptive families. I would be grateful for any help you can provide.

Jeff




Some bugs:

• The sign in prompt in the upper right corner disappears if you make the window smaller.
• Buttons in the discussion area (choosing HTML or text) are oddly spaced. I don't understand what this does. Do we need to give people a choice?
•If I sign in as a guest and click on Jeff Katz to see the personal info, it is messed up. The message on the top says: Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /home/jkgiants/public_html/discussions/extensions/InviteFriends/default.php on line 57 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /home/jkgiants/public_html/discussions/extensions/InviteFriends/default.php on line 58
• I need a way to capture email addresses. Eventually I hope to use a mailing list program called Constant Contact to send newsletters, mailings, etc. I have code from Constant Contact for an email sign up but don't know where to put it.
• Many of the extensions I downloaded i.e. quotes don't seem to work.

Thanks Jim:

I think I wasn't clear enough in my post. I am hoping for some kind soul to actually go in a fix the bugs for me.

I have struggled to fix different bugs. What comes naturally to most of the users of this forum is another language for me. Without help, I have no prayer of fixing the problem of the disappearing sign-in. I am hoping that someone on this Board, either as a volunteer or for money, would go through the site, fix bugs, and tweak the site to make it as good as possible before I launch it.

Any takers?

For the format selecters, find the section that looks like this:#Form.StartDiscussion label.Radio,
#Form.AddComments label.Radio {
display:inline !important;
width:auto!important;
}
Edit that by adding a commma before the curly brace and adding a new line:#Form.StartDiscussion label.Radio,
#Form.AddComments label.Radio,
#Form.AddComments input {
display:inline !important;
width:auto!important;
}
