Site Improvement Overview

Here is a brief overview of upcoming site improvements that we will be implementing soon :

1. When submitting a poem
a. Spell check.
b. Text decoration
c. Poet/user defined categories (with multiple per poem)
d. Option to disable ratings and comments

2. Feedback / Rating:
a. Readers must leave feedback in order to rate the poem if rating is not disabled for that poem.
b. Ratings are not displayed anywhere unless you leave feedback and rate the poem
c. Poets can reply to feedback

3. Myaccount Area:
a. all you poem comments will be in one place so the poet does not have to wonder to all of their poems.
b. All of your friends activity will show up showing you if they have any new poems or posted feedback to help keep up to date with your friends.

This is just a brief overview to let everyone know that we are working on improving this site.

Please keep all the ideas coming we really appreciate all the feedback we get and take everything into consideration. grin

Hey Merlin. Just to let you know, we do monitor the chat quite a bit. As much as we can atleast. It would definitely be nice to be able to monitor it more.

I guess I'm a bit confused on this particular area tho. Aside from one conversation that had to be squashed, I haven't seen any issues in the chat room.

Can you maybe elaborate on this so we can get a better feel for your concern?

Re: Site Improvement Overview

I wonder what is the problem? When I go to chat rooms, I notice there are several people in the chat forum, but I see no text or people. If I enter text, I can't see it. Huh! Not that I am a chat person, but would just like to know that there are others on, and if I choose to chat, I would like to be able to see and participate. Are others having this problem? Or has anyone had this problem? If so, what did you do to overcome the problem? If you did have this experience, would you please pm me. I visit this forum but don't hang around, and there is no alerting system as on many other forums. Just a couple of thoughts that might improve this service.

What browser are you using? We've noticed some problems with Safari and Chrome. The fix for these are to upgrade to their latest versions (both public betas, but stable). Chrome v2, and I think Safari v4. If its Opera, we have no solution for that yet, other than to switch to Firefox, or IE 7/8 (both work fine).

Which poem is missing the comments? I'll take a look at it.

Also-we moved the comments under the poems yesterday afternoon, eliminating the tabs at the top. We thought this would be more of a recognized layout with the way the rest of the internet is operating these days.

Cool, it takes forever for the comments to load, so see what everyone else says.

But they do load to slow, before to me was better.
They where right there, bamm.
