<p>The current site has always had a "not interested" feature. We will get that added to the new site.</p>

In new Search filter Include options: Height, Body type - Slim, Average, Athletic / Fit, More to love, etc,. Ethnicity. This last one is not a biggie but a maybe...A distance option between 100 miles and 250 miles... that is a big gap.... maybe150, 200?,

Enjoying the new upgrade!

Random idea / thought.... Was at an event and the owner of another LS site was there... we were chatting about features and options... He was trying to implement a way to mark profiles to not show up in a search or on our interest page but not block them. That may get down too far in to programing to make work....

We all have limited time, this could save some time searching and chatting... Example: A couple we know will never have adult fun with but are near our location and we may see them at a party or event. Be able to mark them as a "not interested" instead of a "block". Just a thought....

More information on the profile pic so you don't have to click on profile to find out they are out of your age range or located in a town you grew up in. Clicking a profile out of your preferences (age, location} gives the impression you're interested and can encourage unwanted messages

Need to have an auto play feature in the galleries. And a way to make the arrow buttons and X button disappear when viewing gallery pictures.

If you are going to have forums, please make them threaded like almost every other system out there today.

Here is how the profiles appear to me on the same browser.

As you can see on the old site I can see their age preferences, their drinking/smoking preferences and any notes you have about them, all above the fold.
On the new site, no preferences are seen and the lifestyle preferences section is below the fold.

I'm running duck duck go on windows 11, 1920x1080 resolution at 100% scale.

The third picture has my suggestions. Move the lifestyle preferences info into the area labeled dead space.
Move the about/certs/galleries to the left of the profile picture. To save space those could just be icons with the text as a hover over. (? or i (standard icon for "about") for about, check mark for certs, photo for galleries, calendar for hotdates.

Shrink the button height by 50% and make them 1 line of text with icon. Also shrink the vertical space between the each section (buttons, lifestyle preferences, etc).

<p>The notes will be added.</p>

<p>For #4, you can go to someone's galleries and select a picture to open the full size view and then you can scroll left and right to view all the pictures in that gallery. Once we add the custom galleries, there will be a list of galleries on that page, so it will make more sense.</p>

Noticed another LS site allows for a profile name change. That could be a consideration.

1. NOTES - the PRIVATE NOTES on a profile. Don't find that on the new site. Very handy to have to keep up with who we have contacted.

1. RIGHT click to open a new profile in a new browser tab is very well liked and would like to have on update

1. Update the travel calendar so that it alerts via an automated message to others in the area when traveling to their vicinity.

1. After going to the profiles picture page be able to use right and left arrows to scroll through pics.

The filter options section where you have to go to the bottom to apply is clunky. Maybe if a change is made, the top option changes from filter to apply new filters?

Understand you are working the filter options. One recommendation for an option would be paid vs unpaid members.

<p>Right click to open in new windows is being added.</p>

<p>I did not understand the comment about needing to scroll on profiles to get the same info?</p>

<p>The icons for Message/Certify etc are the same size as swinglifestyle and actually take up less space. I agree the buttons are too large, we will reduce, but perhaps you could be more specific if that isn't the actuall issue.</p>

<p>Above the fold info is our primary focus on all pages and we refine.</p>

<p>Gallery access to your own private and personal galleries is a difficult concept. We had that in the past but many members thought others could see their galleries and that the access was broken. We will consider a workaround or alert for this.</p>

<p>Messages being broken up is being addressed.</p>

<p>Swinglifestyle will persist until Swing is well established and adopted.</p>

<p>My experience has been the Swing is faster than swinglifestyle, which is the goal. We will look into this.</p>

The new version loads pages very slowly. It's not usable at this time

I just hope SLS isn't going away, cause this new board needs lots and lots and lots of fixes.

First thing I noticed is a message from friends of ours is split in Swing but is fine in SwingLifestyle. We have one message from them in SwingLifeStyle but it's showing as 3 on Swing. Also I had to finagle this message because everytime I hit submit it said I had words that were blocked.

Make it so we don't have to jump through hoops in "tools" in order to see our own private galleries on our own profile. That is simply ridiculous.

Hope the new site gets the "preview" feature when you hover the mouse over a profile.

Is there a reason the buttons are so large? The message / certify/ block/ private / report section on a profile is like 10% of the vertical page

Also, why make us scroll down to see lifestyle preferences when you have a huge dead area just to the right of the profile picture and base details?

Basically when you view a profile 1/2 of the ENTIRE PAGE is wasted space between the huge buttons, the dead space to the right, and the menu bar to go to certs, gallery.

For me the desired age range is the very first thing I look at with a profile and now I have to scroll down to see it, where before it was right there.

This is the opposite of what you should be doing, you should be maximizing the use of the space "above the fold" to limit people's need to scroll on every profile.

The first things I noticed are that I can no longer right click on a profile from search and open it in a new tab. Don't make us have to go back and forth and reload the search results every time.

The second thing I noticed is that I now have to scroll on every profile to get the same information that we got from one screen on the old site. That part sucks big time, it's a step backwards.

<p>Responce to multiple post below:</p>

<p>Additional Filters are being discussed and added to the Beta as well as more information about member desires. While it seems a simple thing to add it is actually more complex that it would appear. Each filter requires extensive database processing and indexes, given the size of the site and database, these are not as simple to apply as they would be on a smaller website. Each change requries extensive testing to assure it does not negatively impact site performance. Filters, such as Watch, Soft and Full Swap as well as single males and those that exist on Swinglifestyle will be added to Swing as we continue working on it. Any filter that exist on Swinglifestyle will also be included on Swing, plus others.</p>

<p>Notes will be added to profiles soon. Notes will also be added to the tall and wide cards as well as flyovers. Existing notes will also be incorporated.</p>

<p>Inconsistent results are expected as we continue to build out each section. In some cases the results on the Beta are currently limited to insure no negative impact on database performance which could slow down swinglifestyle. The database queries used on Beta are mutually exclusive from those used on swinglifestyle which can also cause inconsistencies while we tune the database for Beta. The results will continually improve as we move forward. We have several developers working on this so change occur in what appears to be sporatic.</p>

<p>New messages alert is on the list as well as an indication that messages have been 'Read'.</p>

The Mrs likes guys over a certain height - would be great to have a search filter for selecting specific gender and above x’xx”

Well the first impression that I got from the new site, is that it looks very much like AFF. And I see the search filter has less options. You can no longer search for profiles that are open to single males. I saw someone else on here posted a great suggestion. Have some way on either site to know if your sent message has been read. I will investigate the new site further, but what is that old saying? If it ain't broke don't fix it? ??

As another member stated the ability to make notes on other profiles you have viewed is very useful.
