Two comments sections

[Guest062512]

As I was writing a review tonight, it occurred to me that I'd like to write a few comments for public perusal that don't really fit in the form, like incall evaluation, appointment making etc. These don't really need to be made as "premium access" and could be useful for all potential hobbyists with or without premium access.

Could we have on the review form places for both "public" comments and "premium" comments?

Just an idea.

There's some merit to that suggestion. We'll take it under consideration. Thanks!

If I may make a small suggestion.

on another board I am sure we all know, in the upstate NY section, the is a newer contributor who I will say goes by the name Strangebob. He took some advice from LAP and sort of made his own template and expanded on the idea. I think the results turned out really well.

I also like the above suggestion of public and private comments.

How about a way for a less graphical interface for mobile/smartphones?

I am sure I will have more to add to this subject.

Are you thinking of comments like on TER where the first is just a tease?

[GP]

maybe just a section to post miscellaneous information in that you feel is not ROS. I really suggest you go look at what I suggested. I'm sure LAP knows what I am talking about.

Got a link? I'm no whiz like LAP who's my brother from another mother.

Here are a few links to his reviews:

The following are snippets from some of them which I thought most were good ideas.

Did she ask about a tip:

Did you feel relatively safe during the session:

Can I get a general idea of what to expect with this gal:

Concerning his "comments section", just his general style and template make for writing a better review. I used to just write from the top of my head with no "template". They were always short and to the point. That works, but the only reason I did it was because I forgot things. I adopted his "template" in the comments section and just started filling in the blanks and the next thing I knew, I was remembering more from the session and I was able to convey it much better. I think it would be great to have a direct link to the lady in the "provider showcase" along with links to pics or even include a pic in the review if it is one she advertises with.

plus, with more "fill in the blanks" the newbies have less room for error and there would be less criticism of them. They would know more of what we were looking for in a review.

Originally I was just thinking about things that are not necessarily BCD activities, that are not included in the upper portion of the form. Like incall/neighborhood evaluation, scheduling issues, etc.

[guest040711-1]

That is similar to extra info I put in my comments like arrangements, accommodations, and conclusions.

[GP]

All I'm saying is, the more "blanks" people have to fill in, the easier and more informative a review will be. Heck, you could even make it so you have more than one BCD/ROS blank to fill in. Just suggestions to try and get people, especially newbies to write more informative reviews.

[guest040711-1]

Keep the ideas comming and we will look at them. Our programmer is just fininshing up a major project, the Provider Showcase.

[GP]

Just thought of another thing. Would it be possible to be a little more lenient with the file size and pixels of attachments? I just took a look and I think all but one are defaults.

[GP]

Another Idea. Most probably won't be in agreement with me, but all of the menu's on the left side, including the "provider of the day". Me personally, I have them ALL minimized. They just take up room and most of them are of little interest to us "regular" users. I wish I could get rid of them completely and not just "minimize" them. When readining a thread that is more than 2 posts, the whole left side space is empty because the "menu" causes the rest to shift over. Rule #1 of website development: Utilize space wisely.


The only one I might possibly need is the Main Menu, and that could be put at the top menu with the other tabs.

And the whole provider of the day idea..... IMHO... phooey!

And the chat thing. Come on, be real, does anyone actually use it?

Let me know when you are getting sick of hearing my suggestions and I will shut up.

Goin Postal

I've been discussing the same with Owner's, we are still looking at what works best.

[KohanaKoa]

Goin Postal, you have several good ideas which I appreciate.

I agree with the additions to the review section to provide more non-BCD information. I think, to Crossroads' original point, that an additional premium access section may be the best idea.

I also agree that it would be nice to have a user setting to remove or hide some of the information on the left, but I don't find it cumbersome. Perhaps it can be made where we can drag and drop each info box where we would like them, like the bottom of the page.

As for Chat, there are several users on this site that use and enjoy the chat room regularly. We consistently have 8 - 10 folks in there every night and its a fun time. I have personally found several providers that I may not have seen if I had not met them in chat.

That is my two cents folks. Thanks to T-Bone and SP Hunter for taking our recommendations under advisement.
