Hello and welcome to the Community.

As you can see, we have a Gael blog, Industry News, a Community Blog and many discussion forums in the community to start with. Over time, we would like to tailor this to the users needs.

Is there something you expected to see that isn't there?

Or do you have an idea and would like to suggest it?

Use this thread to post your ideas and feature requests and I will report back with our response

Ideas from Gael staff:

Job listings. Advertise Quality/Compliance jobs on the community. Our members can post job adverts here.

Trainers and sales team diaries/blog. Keep a record of where our sales representatives and trainers are visiting in the world.

Map. Link the above with a map to give a visual indication of where our staff have been and are going.

Tell us what you think or post to ask a question.

Hi Dan,

Within the profile section of the community, i see that you list fields for most of the popular IM programmes, but no Skype!!

How about adding a field for this?

Cheers

I'll take that on board - shouldn't be too difficult to add.

Thanks for the suggestion Neil.

Neil,

I've been making changes to the "edit profile" page and have added fields for Skype address and LinkedIn address, as well as some re-arranging of fields.

I've also tried to make it clear that the location fields are supposed to relate to your office location (place of work), not your home!

Any other suggestions, let me know.

Thanks

Dan,

What about making the Skype and Linked In fields hyperlink capable so that a user can just click on the required field in a forum post to contact the publisher?

I'll look into it! Not sure how easy that'd be, but will do some investigating.

In the meantime, users could add their LinkedIn and/or Skype address to their signature. Perhapos I could find a way to automatically add these fields into people's signatures as hyperlinks.

Totally agree on the Linkedin.com integration Neil. If anyone wants to request joining my own network then they can do so at http://www.linkedin.com/in/martinbowman

All the best,

Martin
