Hi Dr Bob
I had an idea. Quite often on here I read a post or something by someone and I think "ooh, they're quite interesting, I wonder what they're suffering from and what meds they are on, etc". In most cases, people have explained already their situation in a previous post. I know you have the search option, but that shows all their responses, and gives you millions of results - which I find a little overwhelming.
What would be better I think is if you could click on someone's name, and then you'd be directed to a page where all the names of all the posts THEY STARTED would be listed in chronological order. That way you could read up and find out about the person, rather than having to ask them to explain it all again.
What do you think?
Thanks
Katie

Ooh, i think that's an excellent idea. That would be great if you could do that. It would make finding different posts... by certain people or on certain topics or certain dates... much easier as well. Hypothetically, would it be better if it was organized by date or by topic (for each respective name, if you were to do it that way)?
Dr. Bob, what do you think about this? Does it sound possible and intriguing?

Good idea! Sooner or later, people will be able to have profiles here, see, for example:
