[quote=Saycheese]It would be great if there was a "red flag" for negative reviews such as setting up a meeting with a couple and they never show. It would be helpful to other users to know that this might have happened before.

And one thing I have found in life is anything that can be abused, will be abused.
[quote=Webmaster][quote=2Bi3or4some][quote=4expcouple]A few items for consideration... We agree with others that everything feels too large, maybe 25% or so, at least on a desktop. Too much wasted space, not enough information in tha space allowed...
Other items:
1 - Filters should be able to filter by any piece of data you have in the screen
2 - Name change should be possible, if for no other reason to fix people's atrocious spelling ;)
3 - Age should not be a relative item. DOB should be required and adjusted as it goes (then everyone won't be 59 anymore"
4 - All gender identifiers should be current and available
5 - Couple combinations should also be as accurate as the members would like them to be. MF, FF, MM, etc...
6 - Should be able to change relationship status if it changes over time single, couple, etc...
7 - If you block whispers in chat, don't send a notification every time someone whispers, it defeats the purpose
Thanks for working so hard on all of this![/quote]These are excellent.
Why not be the first major lifestyle site to get up to date with orientation descriptions? At least Bi-comfortable, hetero-flexible, pan-sexual and transsexual?
Name changing is really important. There are so many people with names like coupleXXX when they are now a single or vice versa. We want to change ours but will lose everything by doing so. Maybe limit how many times it can be done?
Also, in the messages, having folders to sort would be great. Searching through dozens or hundred of messages to find someone is difficult.
Having a list of "play preferences" would be nice. You could list your kinks or desires and then have that be a part of an advanced search.[/quote]<p>Additional orientations is on our list.</p>
<p>Name change is problematic due to the database structure. We want that too and will get there one day.</p>
<p>Can you provide more detail on how you envision folders working.</p>
<p>Additional extended profile options for desires, kinks etc. are on our list.</p>[/quote]Please hurry with the name change! :)
Orientations will put you ahead of the other sites.
For folders, they could be used created and named (best)
or at least set folders such as
friends
saved for later
interesting
fuckable
etc...
A perfect example is we are traveling in January to a locale we visit for playtime and have to search back a year to try and figure out how to reconnect and reach out to those interested in us but where the timing didn't work out.
Ability to change screen name for sure!!! No reason for this, especially for the ones that have paid for a lifetime membership. Only reason we have not done it is because you lose everything with the current name change. We don't want to go through the pain of retyping and re-submitting all the pics!!!

[quote=boatingcpl70301]I think we all agree. This site needs a notification feature[/quote]<p>What exactly do you mean by notification feature, that could mean many things.</p>
[quote=astrotaurus]One feature to consider (after basic functionality is completed) would be full text search. E.g. if I'd like to meet some people who enjoy bondage, for example, there is no way to do it on SLS (or the Swing beta) other than reading through perhaps hundreds of profiles. On SDC, which has full text search, I just did a search and came up within seconds with 628 profiles mentioning bondage. nicely sorted by distance from me.[/quote]<p>We have other solutions to this on our plan.</p>
[quote=astrotaurus]I'm also finding the pictures, etc use FAR too much screen real estate.
E.g. on SLS the Home screen in a normal sized window shows 5 "who viewed me" thumbnails, along with 5 "newest matches", 5 "who's on", 5 "random matches", and 5 from the upcoming Bliss cruise. That makes it easy to scan a whole lot of information in a short amount of time.
In the Swing beta, the same size screen (tall card mode) only shows two "who viewed me", forcing the user to click "view more" to just see a few recent hits, and the user has to scroll vertically to see other sections of the home page. Compact mode shows three but because the hover mode information is gone it is now pretty useless.
And on profiles items like "lifestyle preferences" take up a significant amount of space, again forcing scrolling to get the the actual written content in the page.
Some of the ideas I've seen are quite nice, such as displaying into about a thumbnail under the thumbnail rather than hovering, but I'd much rather that be a user-selectable option.[/quote]<p>Each of the items noted we are discussing or working on. Please expand upon:</p>

[quote=sls_WayneC]<p>The upload date will be added. The only reason it is not there is that the new site was already under devleopment when we added that feature to this site, so it was not in the original specifications.</p>
<p>Note that it only shows you when the picture was uploaded. Someone could still upload an old picture.</p>[/quote]"Note that it only shows you when the picture was uploaded. Someone could still upload an old picture."
True, a 20 year old photo could be uploaded today, but if it was uploaded 20 years ago, you at least know it is that old.

Recently, there was an addition to the SLS photographs that showed the date of their acceptance to the site. Now while most folks are straightforward, it does give one a better objective of whether the couple is posting 20 year old photographs or not. Not sure how much bandwidth that consumes, but it is missing from the BETA site. We liked the enhancement on SLS.

Why was the filter to remove unpaid accounts gone? If someone doesn’t have a paid membership and can’t reply, I don’t even want to see them.
Email notification for IM.
Please enable the functionality that is present on SLS of being able to filter messages by those who are currently online.

It would be great if there was a "red flag" for negative reviews such as setting up a meeting with a couple and they never show. It would be helpful to other users to know that this might have happened before. It could be limited to a few items such as No shows, fake account, pictures not accurate at all, etc.
A like button for individual photos. 1) Gives positive feedback to users. 2) Another way for the user to engage. 3) The possibility of the user using your site more. PEace from Sweet and easy 1678
Pictures shared in messages do not show
The biggest thing that would help is to be able to search for people who want to be contacted by single males and also by race.
Right now not really feeling it.
The larger photos are interesting but the front / landing splash page does not have the functionality of the present one.
The personal pages of a profile when clicked on it, I have the same feeling. It is just not there.
Sometimes things that work should only be enhanced.
Noticed the note function is not available
Have noticed in the new beta version that there is no erratic stories.I was just wondering if that's gonna be kapport discarded.So fire still iffy on that beta version
