Hello everyone,
iVillage would love to hear some feedback about your thoughts and feelings on the expert chats that iVillage arranges.

Do you have an expert in mind who you'd like to be invited to answer questions ?

Do you tend to get involved or tend to avoid the chats ?

Can you share your reasons why you would get involved or why you wouldn't ?

What subjects would you like covered in these chats.

Are you aware that they aren't chats in the way that a chatroom conducts conversations ?
It's more like the way the message boards are run in that you post your question and then return after the expert has replied in order to read what they have said.

Do you think there are too many of these chats or not enough ?

Can you tell us what you like best and least about them ?

Feel free to add any of your own thoughts, ideas and feelings about this subject.

Cheers and thank you.

Hi Owly,

I have found the chats where I have asked questions not to have been very helpful. I am either given info that is already on the boards or so general as to be  of no use. Plus we seem to always have the same people.

Hi Owly, I have joined in on two chats and found both answers objective and helpful, Dr Daniel particularly.  Getting his book was a fantastic bonus too!

Hi Jill,
That was my problem too when we have the same people and returning too soon but they are taking this into account now so hopefully that will improve things.

Hi Cham,
Yes most of them are helpful and I think it's good to be able to have the ear of an expert from the comfort of our own homes.

The book was a bonus. I got one yesterday and wasn't expecting one at all as I had deliberately left it so that the first people replying had them rather than the cl stepping in early, claiming one by asking a question and doing a board member out of one.

It was a lovely surprise.

Hugs
