    If you were going to redesign this site what would you do?

    It was free and yes we would immediately respond to people when they initiated the chat. It was neat. Just not very popular.

    If you were going to redesign this site what would you do?

    We had it linked up to my husband's sidekick so whenever someone chatted, they got a real person right away. It just got to a point where it wasn't really effective as people were just filling out the contact form anyway. Not many people used it. It was at that point when we decided to go with a...

    If you were going to redesign this site what would you do?

    I forgot to mention that we kept the chat on our website for at least a month before we took it off.

    If you were going to redesign this site what would you do?

    We did actually. We had a live chat feature but it did not work out the way we thought it would. We ended up scrapping it and just doing the contact form.

    Members Area Security Question

    This question is for people who have knowledge with keeping a members area secure for their domain. We have been struggling with different members area softwares but we keep having problems. We finally ended up going with Amember.com but it has payment options and we don't want that. We just...

    If you were going to redesign this site what would you do?

    Yes we did take the comments into consideration when we re-did our website. I'm sure if anyone who posted here, that saw our old website, saw it now they would see that it has changed ALOT. We are not professional web designers by trade so it was challenging but we feel that we have come up with...

    Pray for my son

    Update Well the doctors think he has hyperekplexia which is basically an exaggerated startle reflex that causes his muscles including his diaphram(sp?) to become stiff so he can't breathe properly. He has begun treatment for it so hopefully it will work. If it doesn't, they will perform a...

    Pray for my son

    ***Update*** Well, Luke has been at Hopkins for 2 weeks now. They have completed their tests and him and guess what, no diagnosis. Unbelievable. He pulled his vent tube out last night and they were going to leave it out to see what would happen but he didn't do well so they put it back in...

    Does 'E' Really Mean Empty on Your Car's Gas Gauge?

    I..ahem..actually HAVE run my truck until I had no gas. It was a miracle because my truck stalled out AS I PULLED UP TO THE GAS PUMP! It was unbelieveable. I will thanking my lucky stars that day. Anyway, my gas light was on for quite some time. Approx 50 miles from when the light came on to...

    Interested in learning more about deaf culture...

    I noticed noone responded to your thread so I'll give my perspective as a CODA. 1. Do people in deaf culture mind if hearing people try to learn or become apart of deaf culture? I have never met anyone who minded. 2. What are some misconceptions that you think hearing people have about the...

    When expecting a child, would you want it to be deaf?

    This thread really got a lot of people talking. Interesting. I can tell you that as a hearing child of Deaf parents (well really my mom cuz my Deaf father is a piece of s***) my mom did a great job raising me. Were there things I took advantage of because of her deafness? Sure. When I was a...

    This CODA supports deaf genetics screening out (eugenics)

    I just read this thread and I am just dumbfounded. There was a point when the doctors were concerned that my son was deaf and I kept telling them that it would not bother me at all. I actually started to get happy about it because I felt it would make him even more special to our family. It...

    Deaf Community vs. ASL students

    You're absolutely right Jillio. Actually in the first few classes when I have a new group of students, I teach them about Deaf culture at the same time as the alphabet. It's a good foundation for hearing people to begin with so they can have an understanding for where Deaf people are coming...

    Real Fur vs Fake Fur

    :ugh3:I have slowed down on my meat consumption a lot in the last few years. Not really by choice it just happened that way. I think many people share our views about not just killing animals for their skins yet others buy the stuff. I just don't understand it.

    oh the irony

    That happened to me too. When I was a teenager I was with my friends at the mall and a "deaf" peddler came up to us with the fingerspelling chart and asked for money. When I started signing to him his face turned bright red and he walked away fast. Don't those people realize that there are...
