Please improve the search feature.

Searching posts in forums is a bit difficult because the search feature is faulty.

Direct photo uploading will simplify things.

Can we have a dislike button?

Oh how nice a thread this is but wait isn't this like the thousandth one? I guess it's time for me to be bluntly honest as well since so many before me have taken the liberty to be honest and virtuous. Why don't we first look into the issues that have been brought up again and again by the regular members and the DT members? What's the point of creating these threads every few weeks or months when absolutely nothing gets done or at the most something very minimal.

Cool post Nadii.
IF has been my home away from home. These days cant imagine living without touching base here daily.
My suggestion would be ;
IF should have its own image hosting section instead of relying on other sites. This way unlimited bandwith for hosting images can be met with.
Second is to have a dislike button option underneath each post, when comments are made.Some posts and comments really irk and irritate finer sensibilities.
To be very honest sometimes some members posts get repetwtive and chats happen in almost many threads and topics. Always wonder whether mods take any action decluttering such posts.

I hope we'll be heard and it's not another random post.
-How you feel India-Forum is, as a place?
Joined IF to know more about my fav. actor. Found it a nice place as the things we can know about our stars here, don't get all that any where else and find really nice people/friends too.
But at the same time got a bad taste too, as saw what bashing is for the first time. So, had to restrict myself as do not feel like visitng the forums any more due to negative atmosphere and abusive/vulgar language used by members for the Actors and their family.

- What is more needed on I-F?

Nothing more, as whatever I saw after coming here was already too much for me, something that is difficult to manage. So yes flaws exist, as IF is too vast.

- Any Suggestions to I-F, Vijay or Development Team.

1. People of all Age groups should not be allowed to join as teens spoil the whole atmosphere because of their immaturity.
2. Dev. team should be more active and not biased.

- Any issues on I-F? Which we can solve or improve so it won't happen again?

1. Fake IDs - Esp. in celebs ranking system, fan club points should be excluded from Rankings if fake ids cannot be controlled. This problem is known to IF, 100s of fake ids are added every week just to earn the 350 points and those are given too every week. Why? It's unfair and a big mess.

2. Bashing/Name calling/Abusing Actors ' MODs fail to draw line between criticism and bashing. Result being, Actors, their families are abused badly. This hurts the feelings of many members and as a result we have to leave the forums as we cannot stand vulgar language and negativity. MODs need to be active, follow same rules for all the actors and members without being bias and make the members understand that IF is a public forum, where everyone has equal rights to voice their opinions, as long as it's done in accordance with COC and in a civil manner. Forums should be kept clean as much as possible. COC should be imposed more on members and strict actions must be taken against them.

3. Report Abuse ' I have used this feature so many times on celebs profiles, articles, videos but I do not see any improvement as the same members come back and repeat the same thing.

There is no feedback loop, where I can know if any action was taken against something that I reported, as I never get to hear back from anyone.

I see the same members over n over making abusive comments, breaking IF rules.

If the warnings are given, how many times, I mean 3-4 times I reported again the same member but to no effect. My understanding was that after 3-4 warnings or final warning member should be banned and blocked from coming on IF. But NO, there is nothing like that.

Then what's the use of REPORT ABUSE feature.

4. Newbies are posting false rumors- I feel there should be more members on the Dev. team of many forums to control the forum besides the channel moderator.

There are several fans who come up with rubbish topics about TV actors intentionally just to criticize them. This should be strictly handled.

- Anything which can be improved on I-F?

1. I guess the DT of some forums, as Bashers reign. Warnings are given, even if it's said this is the Final reminder No action eh! we certainly are in need of Control there.

A better system is needed against people who post unnecessarily, trying to spoil the environment out here.

2. Celebs Ranking system ' Their have to be transparent rules and notifications should be given in advance, in case some restrictions have to imposed that too on just one particular celebs profile.

Celebs ranking & procedure is big issue esp. when comments made through weeks comes down from 49 to 6 without any prior notification to members, google+1 likes are reduced, when they are all genuine IDs. Rules need to be made clear in advance, it should not come as a shock after days of hard work.

- Ideas?

2. Remove fan club from rankings to control FAKE IDs.

- Any message to Vijay or Development Team?

You all are doing great work but please fix the flaws mentioned.

Kindly make the celebs Ranking system transparent ' How views are calculated? How points for comments are assigned?

Remove fan club from rankings to control FAKE IDs

Please control Actor Bashing. They all deserve equal respect and such things impact their image badly in the eyes fans/public/new members.

Improve Report Abuse system.

-How you feel India-Forum is, as a place? I simply love it, as others have said before me, its like a second home. I don't think there is a day that I dont visit IF. I don't post much anymore but I do come everyday to read TB articles and occasionally watch Wassup TV and check on my forums. I feel its a great place with a nice friendly environment 😊


- What is more needed on I-F? I dont think anything more is needed but would love to see more organization in the forums.


- Any Suggestions to I-F, Vijay or Development Team.

  • PLEASE fix the center tab which doesnt work on Google Chrome.
  • Can we have a mobile site or an iPhone (and similar) app so that we dont have to scroll and pinch every time on every screen.
  • Also as several people mentioned- our own image uploader for only IF members
  • The Rport Abuse button NEVER works for me on TB articles or in the forum and as someone above me mentioned, I think a feedback loop for that feature is needed so we know the problem is taken care of😊
  • No limits to PM- it becomes annoying having to do PMs in batches if you're a writer or a sig-maker
  • And also can we please simplify the celeb ranking and the chaska meter because I still have no clue how it works.
  • Also can we have a final, definite rule which clarifies what the difference between bashing and constructive criticism. I've seen on a lot of forums that many people get away with bashing in the name of constructive criticism
  • Can we PLEASE have the old search back, I loved the old search on IF (which was around 2005-2006) it was so thorough and it found the exact topics I was always looking
  • Can we please have the Thumbs Up Thumbs Down weekly review on TB back, those segments were really fun and I miss them a lot, would love to see them😊

- Any issues on I-F? Which we can solve or improve so it wont happend again? mentioned above😊
- Anything which can be improved on I-F? mentioned above
- Ideas? mentioned above
- Any message to Vijay or Development Team? I truly want to thank you Vijay bhai and all the admins for creating such a wonderful site.👏 Great job so far and I know it will also be that way in the future

-How you feel India-Forum is, as a place?
I love it, its a great environment; fun, energetic and lively. I feel that this is a place we can discuss just about anything without feeling as if something is holding us back. I also feel that IF is safe.

- What is more needed on I-F?
I think we have so much already that it would take me a while to figure out if we need anything else 😆 OH! I think we need some sort of notification when we get scraps, I tend to forget about my scrapbook and not notice if people have been posting there because theres nothing reminding me or letting me know that I have a message 😳


- Anything which can be improved on I-F?
Just the notifications for scraps maybe?

- Any message to Vijay or Development Team?
I think you guys are doing a wonderful job with IF 😃

-How you feel India-Forum is, as a place?
Really nice, with lots of exciting things to keep us busy throughout the day. I keep myself to my Chat club only, and that is enough to get by the day. 😊

- Any issues on I-F? Which we can solve or improve so it wont happend again?
A stricter check should be kept on the chat clubs. People use unethical language, then edit their posts. I can also see many members having sigs that are morphed. Even after warnings, they continue having them. Moreover, the fights between the various fan-groups can only be stopped if a strict measure is taken. These people are not afraid of warnings or getting caught. They want to be known. They want to be in the news so that more people can support them.

- Anything which can be improved on I-F?
The profile pages of members and celebrities can be made better and detailed.

- Ideas?
Can we please get to upload images directly from our computers?

- Any message to Vijay or Development Team?
Thank you for India-Forums. It is really an awesome place, and is solely responsible for my online friends. 😊

Yay..Res for now..will edit it once back from my class!😆

-How you feel India-Forum is, as a place?
India-forums for me is like my second home, its good to see people from different countries coming together on the name of entertainment! :)

- What is more needed on I-F?
I-F has all the possible needed thing for a discussion forum it just needs to update and upgrade itself! :&

- Any Suggestions to I-F, Vijay or Development Team.
Oh! you need to go through the suggestion/comments section for that! 😆 LOL! 😆 a serious suggestion as in you'll need to keep a check on the DT member's i mean there are so many who are in-active or who have left, not all but a few, why don't you get their status removed and well give new member's opportunities!?? there are really capable and hardworking member's but they don't get a chance! :D and I think they deserve one!???

- Any issues on I-F? Which we can solve or improve so it wont happen again?
Can we please have some serious action as in SERIOUS action taken over MID's? I mean its really annoying when you log in and find 8942664569376 no. of newbies with 0 posts, 0 friends and 0 scraps dropping into your dashboard, like almost everyday! it really pisses me off!😵 like seriously it does!😵
Secondly hate PM's 😳 same again sent by newbies who have 0 post, friends scraps etc! If I'm not mistaken then before the newbies weren't allowed to quote posts unless they became groupbie's so can we have something like that for the PM service as well?? it can atleast help us track down the person!??:)

- Anything which can be improved on I-F?
I-F doesn't need to improve it needs to upgrade the current features and then think of improving and getting in more features! :D

- Ideas?
I guess I've written the ideas with the probs above! 😆

- Any message to Vijay or Development Team?
Keep up the great work people!👍🏼 oh! and I hope the things posted in this thread doesn't go to deaf years, I seriously wanna see some action taken! 😆
