Bill - Seemiller Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 This community currently provides hair loss sufferers with multiple ways to find the information, support and encouragement they need to successfully treat their hair loss. This includes websites with the latest news in hair restoration; multiple venues to document hair restoration experiences, photos and videos; an easy way to research, view results (photos and videos) and consult with the world's leading surgeons; multiple ways to interact with other hair loss sufferers to garner advice, support, etc. However, with the ongoing evolution and growth of the world wide web, we'd like your input on enhancements and/or additional services we can provide that will keep this community on the cutting edge of providing hair loss sufferers with the information and encouragement they need. This is your chance to tell us how we can better serve you. What would you like to see? Are there any additional services you've seen elsewhere on the web that you'd like us to provide? I look forwward to your input. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mickey85 Posted February 17, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2013 Is it limited to services? If so I would like to see the chat feature brought back If possible, I would like to see the invitation of more Doctor's from Europe(Bisanga, De Reys) and Turkey(mainly Erdogan) but I know that it's up to the Doctor to participate. The only 2 threads you will ever need: Revamped Advantages/Disadvantages of FUE. Myths dispelled. Educate yourself Everything FUE. Manual, motorized, ARTAS, NeoGraft, physician details and more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Yiddo Posted February 17, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2013 Good call. It would be great if more European Dr's could be invited to share their results. As you say Mickey, especially Erdogan from Turkey, i think a lot of people on here would love his FUE results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member james84 Posted February 18, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yes more Doctors from Europe would be great but as you say that is up to the Doctors to participate. Also there should be a name and shame page of some of the terrible Doctors out there, however i cant see this happening! Otherwise great forum and one of the best:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member SADbutTRUE Posted February 21, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 21, 2013 this forum is one of the best out there, i have a idea, how about once a month have a doc answer any questions that any1 has to ask live in an hour type format, about hair transplants , and everything thats involved and even future treatmeants, its a way to get to know the docs a little better, just a thought.

Senior Member SADbutTRUE Posted February 21, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 21, 2013 also maybe a repair section, so guys can look for ways to improve thier situation, its great to talk to other hairloss suffers because you can relate and learn about options, a repair section can help those in need of repair and be a type of support system.

Senior Member Eman Posted March 12, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2013 I think that this feature disappeared a while back, but being able to post larger pics and label them within the page. Similar to what you would do on a blog or with facebook. Sorry, a little late to this post... My initial HT thread: done and done!! Check it out...

Senior Member wylie Posted March 17, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted March 17, 2013 This forum is strangely disconnected from the realities of the industry it serves, an industry that, until just very recently, was notorious for putting out sub standard work. For reasons I won't speculate on, this forum does not have a repair section, as if this chapter of history of hair transplantation has been air brushed away, with a focus solely on today's refined techniques and approved surgeons who perform state of the art hair transplantation. If this forum were truly honest about the industry it serves AND wanted to serve those who come here seeking help, it would have a DEDICATED repair section where patients could easily find threads, as well as other posters, in a free exchange of information, personal experiences and advice.

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Wylie, Just because haven't creatd a specific "repair" section doesn't mean we're sweeping the legitimate need for repairs and the realities of yesterday's (and even today's) substandard work under the carpet. Ironically, most other forums don't have a dedicated section for repairs either. We already have so many sections dedicated to surgical hair restoration, more than any other forum. Patients can also create blogs, photo albums and patient websites and name them with the word "repair", etc. Using the "search" feature of this forum quickly and easily provides those seeking with topics, testimonials, experiences and photos all about repairs. I'm sorry that you feel that this forum is "disconnected" from hair restoration reality just because we don't have a dedicated section just for repairs which in my opinion, is ridiculous. However, I appreciate your input and will reconsider your suggestion. Regards, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Eman, Great suggestion. Unfortunately, the current version of our software doesn't allow labeling of individual photos very easily. However, as we explore newer versions of the software, I hope we can once again accomplish this. The good news is, our patient websites do allow for the individual labeling of photos, journals, etc. Best, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 I also appreciate everyone else's suggestions and will certainly keep them under advisement. I like the idea of getting physicians more involved and active and hosting live chat sessions. This community does have a live chat feature which can be found by clicking "My Apps" and then "Chat" in the toolbar above. You can also find it by clicking here. Scheduling chat sessions may be the easiest way to cultivate member involvement. However, any member of this community is welcome to use this feature and encourage other members to join them at any time :-). Best, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make one use a search feature for related threads is not the optimal route for finding information on the subject of repairs. I think we would agree there is an easier way to go about this, such as searching a dedicated forum. Also, having to rely on a search feature will not always find threads on a particular topic unless the correct keywords are used. As the old saying goes "Information not shared is lost". I also realize many forums don't have repair sections, and I'm not the least bit surprised by this, rather I totally expect it. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
