List of Mahalo Staff Members New page!

I recently created a new page it's the List of Mahalo Staff Members that should compliment the Mahalo Guides, and other pages about Mahalo.

I want to know your opinion on the page. And if I missed a staff member, there are any faulty links, or missing any type of info you might want to see added to the page.

It solves the problem of having to look through all of Mahalo for a Staff member. And various other ones.

Awesome page and I'm glad they let you make it! It's going to help others when they go searching and I'll be sure to link folks to it when they ask me who is who. I'm assuming these are just the 'front' people that we see, right? I'm sure there are more in the background, like the devs and such. Great way to meet more folks!

I like the idea of having pics of them up, maybe put them in the main section of the page with a little bio about each of them that they write themselves and give to you? that would be really cool!

Just one advice on the guide note:

"They solve technical issues, that members may have with Mahalo."

There shouldn't be a comma in that. If you had used 'which', it would have required a comma, but not for 'that'.

Great job!

Thanks! I'm not very good with grammar and such. Lon and a few other staff members are planning to add the background staff as well.

I don't know about the bios. Jeff Hoard has his own page on mahalo. Maybe that's how it could be done.

Keep up the great work. Really, your grammar isn't that bad at all - was a mistake anyone could make! I think it's fantastic you're doing this and hope you get lots of traffic from it!

Great page @psynopsis and great idea for a page. I'll bet many Mahalo users will enjoy being able to find all that info in one place. I have seen so many newbies want to know exactly who is and who is not staff in the past six months. Heck I was even mistaken as a staff member once.

I think the most active members always get mistaken for staff! :D

Very helpful.

I know many sites that fail simply because they lack communication with their members. They regularly display they don't care about their contributors and so the contributors leave.

Mahalo has great communication, and I love it. Thank you for rocking so much.

One suggestion I have is to see if it's possible to add their avatars next to their names. When using Mahalo answers the avatar is usually how I recognize people.

I added each of the staff's profile image. I'm not sure if this is what you wanted.

So, I also added a featured section. One member's picture will be posted every week. Tell me which technique you think is better?

Kinda, would it be possible to add each staff members profile image next to their name on the list?

@psynopsis you could add separate featured sections for each staff member, similar to the Mahaloian of the Week page.

Amazing page and listing. Page needs to be linked everywhere possible (besides the related M pages cross-linking) on the front page, etc.

It is very good. I appreciate your efforts to make such a page. Thank you. It will be very helpful in the future, when we have some issues to be solved.

I created the page because each time I needed a staff member's help I always had to look through Mahalo answers, page builders, and everywhere in between. Hopefully, this will make things easier.

Great idea and great work on the page! I do have a couple of suggestions....I would not call the list a "complete" list of Mahalo staff. While those listed are the ones who are most active on Mahalo Answers, there are also a number of other full time staff members that you do not have listed (and who make occasional appearances on Answers). Maybe call it a "partial" list or a "complete list of those most active on Answers"?

I would also review the links that are being imported in the sections on the main body of the page. Since this page should hopefully receive some traffic, you will want to make sure that those links are all applicable, and, for the most part, positive towards Mahalo. There are a few on there that could definitely be removed.

Lastly, I add my vote to seeing if you could somehow incorporate the avatars for each staff member, though this may cause maintenance issues should those avatars ever change.

All in all, great and informative page! Thanks for building it.

I removed a few links, that were not very positive I will continue to check up on it. If not remove the whole section completely. I read some and could tell right away that they were complete lies.

The list was edited by a few staff members, I was also a little skeptical of calling it a complete list. As many background staff members are not incorporated. Will continue to improve it! :D

This is a feature users have been asking for for a long time so it's nice to see someone started a page for it. I see you have a list of staff started, but you are missing a lot of staff members. Someone asked about this topic a while back and I posted a huge list of staff members, but I can't seem to find it with Mahalo search. You might be able to find it if you do some searching.

Edit: found the thread here: https://www.mahalo.com/answers/mahalo-answers-community/what-is-the-best-source-to-know-who-mahalo-staffs-are-in-mahalo-answers

There have been more staff added since this time, for example I know @robbrown is listed on staff now.

I've been wondering for some time if he was a staff member! I had more members on there but it was reviewed and this list was the one I was given. I don't know if i should go back and add them again.

I just go by if it says they are staff under their pic in their profile. I think there are different levels of staff, for example, Mahalo headquarters staff, Mahalo remote staff, staff behind the scenes that don't really post much here on Mahalo Answers.

@robbrown is not actually staff. On the right hand side of his bio he has an explanation as to why the "Robbrown is a mahalo staff member" notice below his avatar. Fooled me to at first.

Honestly, I like the idea. My "ever-so-humble critique" Is as follows:

While many people like a lot of images etc. on a page, I think the smattering of images is a bit busy. I've absolutely no idea how much band width you have at your disposal, but I think a scaled down landing page; with a n umber of subcategorized page links may be more functional.
I'm sure most of us here have lots of Internet experience, but think of when you started. Man, you couldn't navigate a single site, right? I think a sparsely decorated landing page with additional page links would be more efficient, and more informative.

Links to topics, exceptional members, "hot" or unanswered questions, even members or staff that might agree to be contacted.
Again, I know that's a lot-I could even include more detail-but this seems like enough food for thought (too much?).

Too many images does get tiresome, I'm going to have to think about this very carefully.
