Hello everyone!

We know that you all have your own idea of what a site like this should be, and that's really what we're here for. We're hoping that you will help us to decide what we should be adding, improving, or perhaps even removing from MyBabyOurBaby as we grow and build it up. To that end, we hope you'll use this forum to suggest and discuss new ideas for the website. Here's a couple to get you started (feel free to discuss these in this forum as well!
- Video Uploads!
- iPhone/mobile phone access to your books
- Uploader application to upload heaps of photos at once
Now I'll leave it up to you to tell us all the things you'd love to see here, and we'll see what we can do about it!

Will you be incorporating a way to save sound? It would be fun to actually hear the babbles, first words, school speeches, personal accounts of events etc.

Adding a video/audio feature is definetely on the list of features to come. Don't know exactly when they'll be added, but we are planning to add something to handle the examples you stated.

is it possible to take a book off of your profile after you've added it? not a book you've created, one that you joined.

can you delete one you've created?

Jon says:

fyi: my first post "is it possible..." wasn't showing up here or on my home page. i posted the "test" message above and suddenly it showed up... there was about 43 minutes between the two posts....

Hi Jon, I haven't included the "delete" functionality for books yet, but once it's there, a "Book Admin" will be able to remove you from a book by going to the "Manage Friends & Family" and selecting "Remove from Book" (it's not there yet, but it will be!).

In the meantime, if you'd like to be removed from a book you may email support@mybabyourbaby.com and request it.

As for your problem of your posts not showing up immediately -- that is probably the "caching" system I enabled last night. There are still a few issues to work out with it, and it might make it look as though some pages haven't been updated (for up to 15 minutes or so, when in fact they have been. I'm working out the kinks on that so please bear with us :-)

what if ray has his kid on here, and i join in as a contributor, but then decided later that i've got too many kids on my dashboard and want to take ray's ugly kids off my page. I wouldn't want to ask him to take me off... would i be able to take myself off on my own without being the book owner or admin?

Beau says:

Hehehe well, that's a good point, but he would find out eventually, either through the Contributors page on his child's book, or through the Manage Friends & Family page for that child.

Just joined and I like it alot...will there sometime be an option to post remotely? I've just started using Windows Live Writer for my blog, and I'd like to use it for this too...

Beau says:

Hi Jeremy. That's something that we're considering, but we want to make sure it's secure, and that people will know how to use it before putting it out there. Unfortunately it's difficult to integrate the complete posting process (with photo uploads etc) with remote posting, because it's kind of a unique way of doing it right now.

Jeremy says:

Ok, I can understand that. What about video?

Jeremy says:

Hey Beau and Ray! Hope all is well with you guys!

One thing that might be cool would be to have a "magazine" type view option of the book, in which you can turn the pages by moving the mouse over it or clicking a next arrow.

Take care!

Jeremy: video is most definitely on the list, but we don't have a definite release date just yet.

Jeremy (Discovering Dad): That's an interesting one - we'll look into being able to do that either as a separate view, or perhaps as one of the theme options.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!
