These are great ideas! If you are interested in classes, tell us more about the classes you would like to see. Is there a certain technique you'd love to learn. Is there a mini album you just can't figure out how to work with? Do you just love how someone puts things together? And would you prefer kits for said classes, or would you like to be able to choose your own papers and embellishments?Alot of the sites I've participated in in the past, have only had chats when they got a celebrity to come chat with them. Are you looking for celebrity chats or would you just like to chat with the CT?Just trying to get a feel for things...as I said, I like your ideas.

I like all the ideas from this topic. Not sure of what can be done to inprove.My thing is the gallery moves so fast I get behind with everyones layout. I need up not going there any more.

I like the idea of chatting with a CT member.  The CT team members can rotate off on this.  One a week maybe with a specific topic in mind.  How to do type questions?  I have been scrapping for 10 years and there are still some things that I don't do because I am not sure how.  I just started heat embossing and although that is old as the hillls, it is a new challenge for me.  What tips of the trade would help me do it better?    I have recently bought the glue pad, one that requires heat.  It doesn't do what I expected.  What are the tricks to using this?  Just some ideas of topics I would like to see.As for the store, I think the recent changes are fine.  I has taken some getting use to.  The Bookmark box is definitely something that should be moved either to the bottom or to the far left under the ACOT banner.I know I don't participate a lot in the challenges or crops as scheduling often conflicts with my schedule.  As others have suggested have some more often.  Heck, just a Saturday crop.  It doesn't have to be as much of a blow out as the weekenders. Thanks for asking.

I'm likeing all of the suggestions so far, I really like the idea of chats and more crops big or small. I also really like the idea of a member list.If I remember correctly you can hide your online status at least before the changes. I'll have to go look for it.

I would also like to ad after reading these that with the classes maybe a monthly way or newletter showing how to scrap with all types of budgets.  While I LOVE all the DT layouts, its simply unrealistic to think that everyone that comes on here can afford to scrap in such a fashion.  I know from personal experience being a single mother, that I do scrap as trendy as I can however I just could never afford to scrap with all the newest, latest, and greatest.  I try to keep up with the trends while trying to maintain my own style.  But I also look at a lot of the people who get published and so on and so forth and obviously they are using way more expensive items.  How can we as a community offer more tips on saving money and still be able to afford to scrap the newest and trendy styles.  I have found many bargins just because I am a what they call "tight" lol, but It would be great for someone that scraps on a smaller budget to give tips and secrets on how they do it.  JMO.HUgs

I would like to see more of the CT participating on the board.  I know there a few who do all the time...but there are times when I I see the CT avatar...and not realize that person was part of the CT.I'd also like to see more classes...nothing major...maybe a quick how to.  Maybe a card or a tag...maybe a new technique. I see we get manufacters challenges...maybe instead of a gift from that particular manufacter...maybe a gift from the next times manufactor...KWIM?  I have read many gals say...why do I want the same stuff I just used.  So maybe if there is a Rusty Pickle challenge one month...and ACOT knows that Doodlebug will be next...maybe send that person a doodlebug prize.I also would like to be able to use my points along with the monthly coupon when shopping. And defintely...move the darn bookmark!  UGGG!

Yea, I second what ever one else says!

[LoveMyBella]

More crops........

[4peasinourpod]

lol, Miranda....

[Janshotgun]

Everyone talks about all the contests on here - but do we ever hear who wins?  Am I not looking in the right place?  I'd like to see winning LO's for each contest.  I hate that bookmark thing too!!!! I think tutorials would be great! on things like making cards, mini books (especialy those new word books), altered items, etc. Could points be awarded more frequently (like monthly) for different challenges?  OR how about a few more sales like 25% off all Christmas a month before the holiday or a percentage off certain categories.  I can't wait for the crop tomorrow!  I need more points!!!!

I think the shipping here is way too high.  I would like to see more sales that are really a "good" sale.  More promos for half off shipping or even free shipping.  Remember back in the day when shipping was free after $50?  I ordered way more back then.Would LOVE to see theme contests.  I think more people would enter.  I liked the idea that comments in the gallery would be added to your total posts. 

[RoseRansom]

I love this place!  But, if I have to name something.............yeah, more coins in the store!  and.........would love a quote button on the message board.

[MamaDNC]

Everyone here has already mentioned almost everything I could think of, but I did think of one more idea.  How about a contest once a month for all the projects posted in the gallery that month.  The winner in each category would win based on the number of comments left; no one could post more than one comment per project, and if there's a tie, those members would be 'put in a hat' and the winner would be drawn.  No one could win more than once a quarter in any/all categories, and the winners could receive a $5.00 GC.  I don't know...I'm just rambling here, but, thought I would put in my 2 cents in for what it's worth.  I'm always amazed at the entries in the gallery, and it would be so cool if ACOT could 'Toot the winners' horn'...what a great incentive it would be to help produce more 'artists' in our addiction!  The winners could be announced in each month's newsletter too.Like I said, just a rambling thought.Diane

I think my ACOT points should count towards digi purchases!!!!!  It was disappointing to find out that after I won all those points on DSD, I couldn't use them.  FWIW, I have seen, and spoken to the CT here a LOT. Coming from the pod, I can tell you these girls here participate much, much more than I'm used to. I like that. 

[LKappy]

*MOVE or delete the bookmark thing!!*more ways to earn points*themed challenges rather than company*lower shipping (the high shipping is a deterrent for me)*gallery love counting towards posts ( I heard this was done before)*more crops*more games*member list*spell check... I seriously need it!Love it here! 

[Janell]

OMGOSH!  Spell check....I need that so badly!

[scrap-4-life]

I think the CT does A LOT here and I think they do it very well.  This board provides tons of challenges and contests imo.  I absolutely LOVE the idea of spel chek... don't know if it's possible but sure would be GRAATE. Okay... {deep breath}  for this next on I'm going to duck....  I know lots of people really like the layout of the board and I think I will get used to it but for some reason, I just haven't got used to it yet!!!  It's lovely, really.  Don't get me wrong.  I'm just so accustomed to the 'norm' boards.  Okay, see?  I talked myself into it already.  This one is special because it's different!  LOL!  Just give this newbie some time I suppose. 

[scrap-4-life]

Oh ya... and free shipping of course!  LOL!  j/k!

[Charleneanne]

ok this is lame but some of the lovely site colors back that we used to choose from.  Jeez Louise, pink and blue with white is boring.   I miss my color choices.

 i agree that something done with the challenges rewards - the avatar idea was nice but maybe some points too?Lose or move the bookmark thing is a definite one with me tooI love the crops and would love to have the dates as far in advance as possible since I actually have to change my work schedule if I want to participate - thus far it's been sheer luck whether I get to come or not.In general though I love it all and these are just minor things!
