We recently updated the Members tab on the cause page. Do you ever visit it? What would you like to see there?

I should like the name of the member to show when the cursor hovers over the photo

I like it, it's a good design, but -  Arrgghhhh! You took away my Member search! With nearly 4000 members, I can't possibly find a member without it. Since there is also no name attached to each profile photo, and profile pics change, I can't find anyone. Scrolling through that many anonymous pics just isn't an option for me.

As well, it would be nice if I could feature my own related website on my Causes.com home page. I currently feature a non-profit I've raised money for, and that's fine, but featuring my own site would vastly increase the number of people I could attract to both.

Thanks

I agree with Mike Urry's comments - trhe names of members is an essential feature. I can't imagine why you would think of dropping this out.

Hi all, thanks for the comments. We agree that cause leaders need to be able to find individual members of the cause and we're working on folding this feature into the cause dashboard (the admin center). In the next few months, much of our energy will be focused on organizer tools for cause leaders and making the dashboard much more robust. Please let us know what else, in addition to searching for your members, you'd like to see in the dashboard.

Mike, you're more than welcome to link to your own site through your cause. The "feature" box, however, can only contain registered 501c3 nonprofits. This feature is going to be replaced soon so that your fundraising project will not be so prominent on the page. More information on other changes will be coming soon!

I am a facebook user. A while back, when I accessed my causes, I used to see what other friends of mine were already part of a given cause. Also, when I sent invites, those friends were not in the list. This was very good, because it prevented spam. Now, I have no idea who else is in the cause, so I send invites to everybody, and people get upset of because they get a lot of invites to the same cause from different people, and they are already member of that cause. This is very much like spam and does not help the cause. So I would like to see who else is in that cause and those people should be removed from the invite list.

I agree with Yvonne Grec: "I am a facebook user. A while back, when I accessed my causes, I used to see what other friends of mine were already part of a given cause.

It is difficult to send invites to people because I do not want to spam them. I only sent invites once after this change. I only know of one acceptance that showed on my wall as well.

I agree with Jacqueline and Yvonne. The invites system is basically useless, without a sortable list of Friends. A list of all members, one of Facebook Friend members, and a searchable, sortable list would be much better, and avoid serious spamming problems.

I would like an easier way for the members to navigate threw the STORIES section when they ADD their stories.  They cannot find where to add the stories.  Not a small statement, the whole story.  many complain they cannot figure out how to add it.    Thank you !

I'd like to be able to search through the members and to be able to delete members..
My Cause is about a very sensitive subject. Whaling. A cause for those who are supporting the pilot-whale hunt in the Faroe Islands.  Because of the sensitive subject it's impossible to avoid anti-whaling people joining and harassing the cause and it's members. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing to have members who disagree, that's not the problem. The problem is that some of these people are really badmouthed and act in such a manner which is not acceptable. A cause with over 6000 members needs some rules, if these rules are broken ( too often ), I'd like to kick them out.

Ooops. I was thinking you meant the tabs that group members can see, You mean the tab labeled "members" which founder (and I assume leaders) can see. I agree with Paul and Mike: Member search! With nearly 4000 members, I can't possibly find a member without it Also Magnus makes a good point. We need to be harmless as doves and wary as snakes.

I agree with some earlier comments:

* need to search for members - by date joined cause, name, etc

* need to see which members recruited which other members - listed by date joined , member, etc (for leader rewards, thanks, conversion analysis, etc, etc)

* need to kick out members if necessary

* faces needs to show from most recent - it currently appears random - and is useless as a leader tool

I would like a "SHARE"  button when the link posts to Facebook from the Cause, makes it easier for others to share your Cause rather than open the Cause page again  and repost it.
