The New UsingEnglish.com Members Area

[Red5]

New Members Area
I am in the process of creating a new members area for users of UsingEnglish.com!
As members of our public forum, I thought I would ask you all what sorts of things you might like to see in the members area. We currently have a couple of word games available, and we have a couple of other ideas of our own, but we would appreciate the input of those people that will use it - you!
Please feel free to post any suggestions you have in this thread, and we will consider how possible each one is.
If you want to keep an eye on how things are developing, simply log in here: https://www.usingenglish.com/members/

Edited:
This discussion is being locked because it's so out-of-date. ;-)

If I try to enter the member's area it asks me for a URL. What does that mean?

:?

 

[Tdol]

If you have a personal website, you can add the address. It's optional. I put this place. ;-)

Are you sure it's optional? It got "cranky" with me when I didn't put a URL in the blank. (I finally used UE's URL also.)

[Edited for clarity.]

 

[Tdol]

It was probably feeling grumpy. ;-)
