subject:new ideas for features or enhancements?
post date:
views: 6943 comments: 762 ratings: 0
 
in the early days of fubar everyone knew to come to me with any new ideas for features on the site... but lately, not many people have!

99% of everything we've ever done on the site was triggered by a member bringing it to our attention... so lets keep that tradition alive!

so, feel free to lay any ideas for features or for enhancements on me, here, in this blog. you can also private message me if you're shy or don't want anyone else to know! :-)


please no tech support questions or bitching about policies, you'll be donkey punched. thanks!





EDIT Monday, April 14 2008:

--Show all comments on blog posts--

done.

--Friends alert when posting comments to friends only mumms--

done.




EDIT Sunday, March 31 2008:

Great ideas folks! Let me comment on a couple of the most requested ones:


--Mass commenting for all your friends--

sorry, the comment system is already 'cheapened' enough by people who just keep going through and cut&paste the same glitter tags on everyones profile. i'm not doing anything to facilitate that... in fact, i've been tempted to add some things to bring value back to our member comments. ;)


--Multi-deleting private messages from folder--

done.


--Search by distance/zipcode--

done.


--Improved general search--

this is also on the agenda as well, integrating the google search was just the quick first step to get it working again. sometime after the search by distance is turned back on, we'll start enhancing the general search functionality.

for the record though, i don't consider it that important myself.. because i hope people would be more interested in interacting with the people online rite now, and not search static profiles.... go back to myspace for that, hell they have a hundred million profiles or something stupid like that. :)


--Search by gender--

i'll be straight with you guys, personally i hate the idea-- i didn't want to create a dating website.... but since enough of you want it, we'll do it. keep in mind, it'll have to wait until we improve the general search feature... otherwise it won't be very useful. :)


--Private profiles--

done.




Another EDIT: Dec 3rd...

Few more common questions I'll answer:

--Remove the photo ripping feature

*never* upload anything to the internet that you don't want someone else to have. you can't stop someone from taking your photos.


--BulletinBoard filters or limits--

this one annoys me the most! you control the bulletins you see by the friends you have! if you don't like what people are posting, TELL THEM TO STOP OR REMOVE THEM FROM YOUR FRIENDS LIST!


--Keep blocked people from seeing my profile--

if you hadn't noticed it yet, everyones profiles are open to the world... meaning joe blow who isn't even logged in can see your profile if they know the url. since that's the case, what the hell good would it be to keep someone that you've blocked from seeing your profile?

update: since we enabled private profiles, blocked people can no longer see your profile.



--timestamps in the shoutbox--

done-- mouse over the name in your shoutbox and it'll display the timestamp.



more to come later.... thanks everyone for your help!

I agree with the mass deletion option for friends, and fans, or at least a way you can see more than 20 at a time for deletions.

I would also like to know if you will be bringing a Halloween style bling around for us bling addicts.

Is it possible to make it an option to where the list of people you are "fans of" could be checked like your friends list, so you can delete by mass amounts instead of one at a time?

how about a way to send a gift to multiple friends at once? i know some lounges do but it would be nice on say,christmas to send all your family members etc all a candy cane or whatever instead of having to keep going back again and again...
and oh yeah.. please bring back kitten bling :)

Oh I also just thought of another one, how about an option in your friends list that seperates the people that have salutes from the people that dont? Like also have the option to delete all the people with no salutes instead of having to go through the list for 4 hours?

Hi Mike
Will you be fixing the fans section so we can see who just fanned us again? That way we can return it and not miss anyone if it goes off our bar tab.
Also can we have a dolphin bling please? My friends idea so thought I'd ask on her behalf while I'm here.
How about blings listed in sections like fu-gifts would be great, can you do that? We all love bling, I know I do LOL so more of a selection would be great, even sorted in price/credit value, like 1 credits in 1, 3 credit blings in another tab, 5 credits in another etc etc.
keep up the good work

Could we possibly get an icon for bling (like one for drinks, private message) so we don't have to visit the profile?

I love the site and some great suggestions have been made.
-organizing friends list alphabetically
-expanding bling/limited edition bling
-delete box for friends/family/fans so deleting people is easier (prev suggestion of mine).
How about being able to navigate to the last page when looking at top members, scores, etc. That way if you are #899 you don't have to go thru every page.
Thanks!!

Instead of taking a bling away to make room for a new one, why not just expand the Bling gift shop? It seems to me that the more choices there are, the more money you could make... people like to collect things ya know.

You could even add a "Limited Edition" bling section for the blings you don't want to keep around for long... if you make it sound special, people will buy it.

We're still getting real dumb mumms/polls/surveys in the mumms. I think it's because most people on fubar don't know that there is no points for mumm voting. If you can put a note on the mumm form stating there is no points, maybe that will stop a lot of point whores from posting "Should I drink beer or drink more beer" kind of mumms. Please?
