Well, it looks like we're on the right page with the new platform since we've already thought about A LOT of what's being commented, so that makes me pretty happy.
I have a long ... Favorites list and would like it if there could be a better way to scroll through my list rather than by page number.. Maybe if it could be ordered by babe's first letter just like the main babes ' database. Just would like it better if I could find Holly Halston for example without cycling through a to h by page number to find her on it. Thank you for your interest in our opinions.
We're going to be handling favorites completely differently. I'm still waiting for the design back so i can add functionality, but we're really trying to do away with pagination as much as possible.
Something that DEFINITELY needs to be fixed is keeping me logged in when I switch from section to section. For instance, if I'm in the forum and then I click on What's New, it says I need to login again. I do so, then I click on Babes, and again I'm logged out. I've tried this on every browser and it does the same thing. I hate having to re-login every time I switch sections. It's gotten so I just come to the forum and leave now, it's so annoying.
You're being logged out of myFreeOnes when you go to the different sections of the site? This sounds like you're not clicking "remember me" when you log in initially. But, this type of BS is being corrected in the new build.
For the videos that are posted. Is there a way to make those anamorphic so they fill up the whole screen when I play them back, especially for smart phones
We actually have built our player, though I'm not 100% if this was included. I'll make sure to ask the devs.
I'm assuming we're talking about everything except the forum.
That being the case, It would be nice if registered members could leave (again moderated) comments regarding reviewed websites, alongside their own marks out of 10.
I'm assuming the marks out of 10 for each reviewed site is against a set of markers agreed upon by whoever does the reviewing. But they might not hit the points that other people look for or spot.
Yup, everything but the board. We're fully aware that the board software is a piece of shit and after we re-launch the site completely next year we'll start deciding what we're going to do with it.
That being said, I was actually just talking to someone about having member reviews along with the pro review and somehow allowing member reviews be a slight part of the overall score. We're not sure what we're going to do for reviews yet, it's much farther down my requirements list than some other features so I probably won't start thinking about it for a few weeks yet and it might change 1000x between my writing the requirements and starting dev on it.
Show astrology in mobile version
We have an all new profile for the babes and I'm waiting on the mobile design still. ;-)
I would like to begin by saying I have been a member here for years and love your service. It is good to see you guys asking us the users what we would like to see in upcoming changes to the site. It shows you care about your users. Here are a few changes I would like to see in what sounds like an awesome revamp.
Some of the links in the babes pages link back to Freeones exclusive content. When I click on on of the picks it opens the pick in a sideshow window, which I am fine with but it would be nice to have the pic open in full size or offer an easy way to view the image in full. Most of these exclusive galleries only contain fifteen or so picks and take up two or more pages. Can we get these small galleries on one page instead of multiple pages?
It's you guys that will be using it, so we really want to provide a great experience. In fact, we've had some very deep discussions about things that would give us lots of Google love but kind of suck for users. We're actually sacrificing a lot of Google love for what we hope is much better usability. ;-)
We have a whole new way of doing our photo gallery content front to back (about damn time too!). We're dumping the current gallery format (so done with it anyways) and will be providing a better experience vs. sticking it into a light box type experience. This means it's eliminating pages completely and will be much easier on mobile or tablet users.
Tagging other models in the same photo gallery or videos
Yup, we're going to have this so that our awesome search feature is even more awesome.
Aside from what has been mentioned I would lie to suggest:
Alphabetizing by last name instead of first (counterintuitive otherwise IMHO)
The addition of trans and male performers instead of exclusively women
I'm still not sure how we're going to list out performers yet. I'm waiting for some designs to come back before I can start applying the tech requirements. ;-)
Unfortunately, I don't think you'll ever see trans on FreeOnes. However, we're actually making a site for male performers (it's our proof of concept site). As soon as the site has a tad more substance I'll make a post about it. I did get to show it off 2 weekends ago at an industry conference and it got pretty good reception.
hey petra!
one of the things I would like to see is better goodies in the store to use with my points (though i am still debating on getting the messenger bag with the points that i have accumulated)!
maybe even something that would link towards sites for usage of our points???
sometimes when I search for something on the blog list, i get nothing, but then i can go on a different search engine (like google or bing), then I find it. I know that makes no sense, and i call it going backwards in a search.
and yesterday or a day or two ago, I was looking at a models information, and it said that she had a website. I then proceeded to go to finding it, and sadly, there wasn't a site after all! so perhaps, there's a better way to edit?? or just check the info? I also know that being located in the EU, the information can get cross-referenced with two models under the same name (ie. luna lane or maggie may), and that gets frustrating to say the least!
one thing that the contributing sites can do, is help us with where a magazine portfolio is linked, and we can find then search on other sites for that specific magazine, or even sites like ftvgirls, can put the dating of the actual site, as many model shoots can become archived, and we, the viewer, can be stymied in our search, or better yet, not even find the information on the website.
I like this site to be honest, and it's a great reference tool too. really keep up the good work!
We're giving the credit system a complete overhaul. Not only will there be more ways to earn credits, but we're going to be adding a lot more things you can do with them.
We're also going to be adding a better way to report bad links, edit babes, etc.
For your last point, we are going to try to be a little better about this type of thing. We've talked to a lot of of sites during a b2b conference a few weekends ago and have a lot of planned collaboration. Hopefully we'll be able to work more with them to provide as much info as possible.
