Amber Alert Forum

lady cop · 03-01-2005, 09:47 PM

i could go to moderator's forum and request this, or write directly to admin, and i will, but does anyone here think we should have an AMBER ALERT forum? i consider it an important public service to post them, it's a major thing to me as a LEO, but i think it's important to everyone who has children....who knows who reads here and may be the one to help the authorities recover a child? and it seems i am posting more and more of them lately. would anyone else be interested in following a forum of this nature? and i know there are other people here who will post them for their states, i get them directly from FDLE but not other jurisdictions. there are websites that post them nationally and there is the center for missing children, we could get updates there as well. thoughts?

Hi LC,

We are developing a dedicated news page for FG. The plan was to include amber alerts in this area. Thoughts?

I think it's a fantastic, and very important idea. Tombstone, would the area for Amber Alerts be really visible, like on the homepage, or buried in the news page? I think it would be great to have a highly visible area, that way people poking around for information can see it readily. How wonderful would it be if we could find even one of these kids because of it??!! It's got my vote! (Is this a democracy?

)

No Babyrider, Tombstone is Emperor,

Anastrophe King, and i am a princess.

Well then, can this commoner humbly suggest that the royal family has made an excellent suggestion, and I of course, will fully support any decision made by your highnesses? <deep curtsey...backing away>

that's better!

.......however admin. wants to do it is fine with me , there has been a huge interest in the current missing child. so this is timely.

Good points. I am still designing this new area - so I'm not sure! Let me see what I can do regarding a dedicated FORUM as well.

I still think adding an Amber Alert ticker is a good idea along with the forum.

This ticker runs constantly - even when there is no alert. And, I don't want to see an amber ticker scrolling constantly on general FG pages.

I'm looking at the email alert or RSS feed so we can pick it up and get it posted when something happens.
