New Feature / Site Updates we have on our list - Page 15

Agreed. When I post something publicly, I know that anyone in the world could see it and connect it to everything else I do on the internet. It makes no sense to let other members read my posts by browsing threads, but not when they visit my profile to find out what my interests and opinions are.

If I can go to a member's profile and see what fan fiction books the member has published, it's an inconvenience that I can't see where the member is discussing the origin of that fan fiction.

India Forums' revenue depends on members responding to each others' posts, right? There are threads where I'm the only person posting anything, and I really would like other members to find those topics and build a discussion. Hiding my posts on my profile is thwarting my effort to support India Forums' revenue.

Yes this feature has been disabled. 

We will bring it back with the option to Allow All / Buddies Only / Disallow other members to view their MyPost page. 

Now that you are counting Comments as well as Posts to evaluate member activity, could there also be a My Comments page so that going to someone's profile will reveal (if that member allows it) a list of articles or fan fictions where that member has commented?

Now that no one can see my posts on my profile, I have no idea why anyone bothers to visit, but they do.

Can we have a way to unsend pms?

Also, rn, when you click on a pm we have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to see the actions, maybe that dropdown could be shifted to "select all" button.

Well when a user sends a PM .. we do send notification instantly to the recipient. So I doubt we can do that.

However we will explore if we can allow Edit of the message part till the user has not read the PM. But looks we are going to confuse the user even more. 😃

Regarding the action option we do not have any other spot to put it. Yet we will explore how we can make it better. May be the action part could be made sticky so that as soon as the PMs are selected it gets stickied at the bottom of the screen.

Vijay Sir,

Can we have an option to choose the badges that we want to visible in our posts?

Good idea Swetha , now that badges are coming for Banner contests n singing contests too ., I would love to see the BC badges to be displayed rather than  anniversary in IF or ranks goldie / rockers which are visible in colour of the ID itself . In my personal case I would have loved to show the Easter egg and the fascination badges rather than the current ones showing.

Badges for Visit Streak

My most favorite 🤩

I think it would be great to show the forums that a user is active/following on front in form of quick links. Most of the users follow/regularly visit only a few forums at a time. As far as I know, the way to reach a particular forum from home page is to either select from drop down or type the url directly in the browser.

In the current system we have Post Quick Jump but it just shows 2 tab.

Topic Creators and My Posts in the current Topic. Instead of this we want to make it like Who Posted in This Topic.

Basically it provides the whole list of users who have participated along with their post count.

On clicking the Number of posts it would show all the post links and I can easily jump to that user's particular post instead of scrolling through multiple pages.

Quick Jump is one of the best features. However I am afraid that the change you are suggesting will make the entire thing bulky. No one remembers the exact post made by the user so it is likely that even after this feature we will need to scroll over pages to find the desired post as the number of post will always increase. Instead, we can show the link of current user's last post, so the user can catch up the thread from where he/she left.

Realtime Messenger system so that we can easily chat with out buddies in realtime. If the member is offline the recipient will be notified when they visit the site again.

This does require a bit of work so may take time to develop the same. But would be great.

highly required......

We were just discussing this internally few days back with regards to IPL team and we can show the team whom we are supporting. And idea we were exploring was to have similar systems for different forums.

So in IPL forum it would be IPL Teams and For Bigg Boss it would be BB contestants and similarly the same thing for other forums which the mods of those forum decide.. 😊

Will be exploring it further if it gets enough votes .. 

this is going to be fun and more interactive. I totally support it.

It's a good suggestion. 

However since we do not want to get into developing everything in-house the easier solution would be to allow users to embed from players who are already specialising in it:

SoundCloud / Reverb / Mote.

This is how it would work:

People can simply go to:
https://record.reverb.chat

Record their voice and share the record link on their post. There are Chrome extensions also available to make it easy.


Usage on forums

I think this would be fun to use when someone wants to do a Singing Contest / Tell A Joke or something. Members would submit their songs and people can vote it up each round.

What do you guys say...

I agree with Vijay fully …👍🏼

I like the usage on forums …. We can even have games /contests on how a particular character would react in a certain situation . 
Right now members use gifs … in future we can use voice files too 
I agree with Vijay and Madhuri that there has to be a way to control misuse by naughty members … to harass others 👎🏼
