New Main Page is Live
|
New Main Page is Live A new main page design is now live for 10% of US/English users. Search, What's Hot, and Live Action are consolidated into tabs at the top of the screen  with links to your blogs, groups, and other community activities (including a feed) at the bottom. You currently have the option to toggle between the original homepage and the redesign. For those of you trying out the new version, tell us what you think. We appreciate your feedback! |

I *think* I like it. But a question about the "latest activities" column... is that the latest activities across the entire site? Or is there a way to maybe tailor that to the latest activities of my network? Just it seems useless to me to know what some dude in Latviz is uploading or what video some chick in Uruguay just added. 2022... it HAS be better, right?!

I like the design of the Tabs at the top; however, I am not impressed with the "Latest Activity" section of the design. Personally I can care less what the activities of members from all over the world. What I would suggest would be to changing the "Latest Activity" feed to be based upon the members geographical locations or cupid settings, or/and their Network of Friends they have. I really do not think that many members really are interested in the activities of members that are not a "match" for them. Basically what I am trying to express is that majority of members that live in the U.S. really are not going to be interested in the activities of those in other countries, and visa versa.

I'm not thrilled with the latest activity section. I, for one, am NOT interested in seeing a bunch of dudes' new cock pics. The latest activity should be a tab at the top as well. Where did the shortcut to my emails go? I'd prefer to see a preview of my message center where the latest activities is sitting now. Glad to see the link to the bling manager back on the home page, tho.

I'd like My Online Matches to take into consideration my cupid settings. I'd also like them to take into consideration the sexuality of the women I'm shown - there really is no point in showing me profiles of lesbians, not too surprisingly they are not "matches". Though that is a criticism of the old homepage too. I don't understand why you've moved "Viewed by" into the pull down menus but have put links to my own photos and videos on my homepage. I don't look at my own photos, I have no interest in videos (I don't even have any videos). I see absolutely no point in making "Activities" international, or having so many presented. Why do I care that some women thousands of miles away have uploaded new photos? The activities of strangers are of absolutely no interest to me. They are irrelevant - I will not take any interest in them, I won't scroll down the page to see which women in the US have loaded a new photo. It's just a waste of space. If your aim is to help people meet up then keep it local and relevant. I do wonder if you only show international activities in an attempt to cover up the lack of local ones... At least you've put back the link to my own blog - don't know why you took that away the last time you updated the homepage.

I like the general format and functionality but I think some of the content and links need to be need some work. Here's some of my thoughts: (1) The list under the member's profile on the upper left is either useless, redundant or incomplete when compared to the old version. For example, "Photos" and "Videos". Who's? Mine? The old version has "Manage: My Photos | My Videos". Perhaps using the same stuff on the old version in the new format will be better. (2) The Community box on the right side: either get rid of it totally or trim it down by removing the graphics and text size so that it doesn't make the entire page twice as long as it should be. (3) I understand the need for advertisements, especially for helping to offset the cost of allowing free memberships, but one is enough for free members and maybe should be none for paid memberships. (4) It took me a few minutes to realize the "140" under "My Status" was for the characters remaining when entering a status update. (5) There is a "Upload Photos/Videos" link on the left above "My Status" and a "Upload" button on the top menu. Only one is needed. I vote to get rid of the left one. (6) I like the new tabbed area at the top. If this new format becomes permanent, I hope other pages adopt this where appropriate such as the "Members interested in" page where you can see who's viewed/hotlisted/winked you. This is a good start, and probably the best preview of a new feature you all have given us. Still needs some work and polish by someone that's an expert in user interfaces rather than just some nerdy programmer more worried about how it works than how it looks.

What shows up currently in your activity feed is based on one's Cupid settings. In the future, users will be able to customize their feed according to their Friend network and Hot List. Not one of the women appearing in the Activities section on my homepage is in the UK. The US, Canada, Brazil, Switzerland... all way outside my cupid settings. Another thing that's gone missing is my Activities Bonus - I can see why you'd like to prevent me from checking how I'm progressing to get my free membership extension...

Where did the shortcut to my emails go? I'd prefer to see a preview of my message center where the latest activities is sitting now. Glad to see the link to the bling manager back on the home page, tho. . I can note that this is not my cupid settings either as I have couples as well as almost everyone one of the photos was/is international. I can sympathize totally with the men not wanting to turn it on and see other men's dicks in their faces, I don't want to see some woman spreading her crotch open with semen all over it. I DID have one of those and it really turned me off. It was at that point I clicked it off. That was on a 'couples' profile, which I don't have in my cupid settings at all. . I am sure there will be those that like this, but my vote is NO... go for making another tab. Leave the option to use the old one. Btw, didn't we JUST REDO this page as we all chimed in on what tabs and everything? Why are we doing this again when there are larger problems here?? We post and state yet our voices are not really heard it seems..sorry.

Activities should match your gender and age settings, but not distance. If you're seeing both men and couples but that is not a part of your settings, then it is a bug. I'll look into this right now. woman couple (man and woman) group couple (2 women) I do not have Men or couple (man and man) checked. The distance I do not have specified with the cupid settings though. Anyhow, the "latest activities" shown on the new home page of mine is showing the activities of male members; furthermore, from countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Austria, UK.

For the sake of argument I went back and counted. I have no less than 7 photos of men's penis' so close up I can look down their urethra, and they all had semen all over their dick and their hand. This is just gross.... sorry. I am not turned on nor interested in looking at anything on their profile by that photo....there were more penis photo without the semen. I had about 2 face photos. Of the photos there all of them but 3 were from Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Guatamala, and other foreign countries. The ones from the U.S. were from California. I am in Michigan for the record. The ages went from as young as 22 up to 72.

This is my opinion on what I see regarding to the new homepage without know what bug issues they might be. I think I prefer this then the present style(original). The present(original) is just fill up with too much of nearly the same kind of image. It smart to put them, What'Hot and Live action into not visible unless someone interest, they then click on the new button to check. Next is about the top left corner where show my profile photo. For the new email,there is already a email button on the Local Sexy Swingers tool bar.Most of the other stuff can be found under 'My stuff' button if one interest to look on those stuffs of theirs. Don't bother me much with the new style on this. With the 'my blogs' and 'my groups' showing on homepage is very good idea. But since some of you might watch more then 4 blogs other then their own, and also they might be in more groups, it might be a good idea to add a button beside this the 'My Blogs' and 'My Groups'to click to view more of blogs they watched and more group they are in. I don't see any Latest Activity, not sure why. It blank and I look on my cupid preference setting(not sure if that where to look)Cupid setting was checked to my choice. So not sure why not showing anything at all. All the rest look ok to me to the right side.

There is apparently another bug. I am receiving emails to the my register email account of notifications that my profile was viewed. This is something that I opt out from in my account settings of email notifications. Furthermore, I just checked those settings, and they have not changed. [image]

Well, I just checked on the new homepage style of mine again. I now see something on the Latest Activity. Also noticed the Activities Bar on the bottom gone. It show as what I had set on my activities bar on the bottom if I use the Original style of homepage. Only showing my Network friends activities I had checked to see. The last few days I saw a lot of unknown members pop up alerting me of their activities issue was gone on the Activities Bar(when I am not using the new homepage style), and now fixed seeing back my network friend if I use the new homepage style on the latest Activity section in the center. So now I see where the Activities bar feature will be going using the new homepage style. I think that a very good idea as the Activities bar on the bottom is very annoying to have.

Well is seems that the new home page design has definitely produced bugs in the system; specifically to the email notifications sent to registered email account of members. It appears that all my account settings are going out the door in concerns to notifications sent to my register email account. This time I have received an email notification that a member responded to a group posting of mine. The crazy thing is....the group post they responded too was not a posting authored by me. In fact the posting was authored by you, Aryana, in the Live from Local Sexy Swingers group. No, I do not have any postings on my "Watched Threads" list. The only conclusion that I come up with is that the member is in my network of friends. However, their posting made had absolutely no relation to doing with me; thus, I should not receive notification regardless, but I am.

Right now it's in an AB test mode. So we'll be tracking results of the test over the next couple of weeks to see which version is preferred. In the meantime, we're taking in feedback, and so far the biggest issue has to do with what members see in their activity feed. We do intend on those activities to eventually be highlighting news from your friend network and hotlist, although there are no discussions right now about removing images from the activity feed altogether.

Being a standard member my opinion means doodly squat but I'm going to say it any way. You guys keep messing with all this ..... fluff .... crap. Why don't you make changes to this site that really make a positive impact on the use of it. Number one is make the block feature in the blogs include blocking any posts from the person being blocked from being seen across the whole forum. You do that sort of thing in chat rooms. AB No Bozos

Quoting: community replies on 12/20/2012 9:11 pm: Hi rdy, let me just first clear up that I didn't say it was raved about. I said that it was winning in AB testing phase, which means the new message center was being used by a higher percentage of users than the old message center. That being said, this is all still in test phase. When on the new home page, there is a survey you can also fill out if you wish to share more of your feedback. . Okay, however, the majority of the site is complaining about it. I am not getting how it is getting that part. I know I was 'forced' to use it and couldn't get back to the old one, so I hope that didn't count as I was using it therefore.... . As for it being still in a test phase this message is posting on our screens as we speak: On 1/15/2013, we're retiring the old version of the Message Center. But we know you'll love our new design. Everyone does NOT love it and this sounds pretty final, not in a test phase. . I just hate seeing things like that and now this new main page and everyone disliking it as much as they are and it is still pushed through and our voices do not seem to be heard. I have filled out just about every survey that I could on all issues since I started on here. I just think options should be left rather than keep alienating the people here.

There isn't exactly a bug. There is a new email notification campaign that was launched an hour ago. If you have all the email notification preferences OFF, you would not get any mail. If you have selected ONE type of email notification as ON, then the new email digest would be sent. [image]

Found the problem with the email notifications. It seems that the "notification" alert on the site navigational bar settings override the settings done in the members account manager.

I just saw a change on the New homepage under 'My Blogs' to the left. Earlier, I saw the first as 'My own blog' and when I click goes to my own blog home. But now that got replaced, and show me 'Create a blog post'. When I click on it, it don't go to post a blog page, instead it show me to 'Edit Your Blog Settings' page. [image]

Activities should match your gender and age settings, but not distance. If you're seeing both men and couples but that is not a part of your settings, then it is a bug. I'll look into this right now. And why don't you apply "looking for" criteria to matches? What point is there in matching gender if you don't match sexuality? Why do I get the feeling that you want me to look at pictures rather than interact with real people?

I don't mind the new page. There are some things about it that I actually like. My Blogs, My Groups (thanks for bringing that one back to the homepage). I don't even mind the tabs up top too much, but it was more convenient to see the hottest stuff and live feeds on a single page without a click. Here's what I don't like: on every new homepage you still list the most popular blogs, groups, etc...it's a self fulfilling prophecy. If you put something on the front page, they are going to get more hits. Why not have random blogs/groups or local blogs/groups on the front page instead of "the cool kids" who get more hits because you're promoting them? Also, what's with the activity feed? Show me what my friends or locals are doing, not someone I'll never meet or even say hi to. Lastly, email notifications: now I'm getting emailed every time someone looks at my profile (even though I had my preference set to once a day)? That will get irritating really fast. Be sure to check out my blog! [ winonabimale]

Furthermore, I don't need the site to tell me how many pics/vids I have on my profile or how many friends I have in my network. I'd rather see the link to the who's viewed me page, new friends invites and email back. These were helpful and useful links. Why did you trash something that was useful and put in useless info instead?
