"Some kind of timeouts for abusive nasty status updates aimed at other members . If this was done in chat or in the forums a timeout would be given so the same should apply to these types of status updates too " I think I have answered you with this before , you may have missed it. People do get a warning for a rule breaking status and run the risk of being disabled if they carry on | |||

Also as often is the case they have changed the status by the time it gets looked at | |||

"Hide online status Hide someone else's profile from searches option Body type filter A filter for searching for organised events & meets, I don't need to see a bunch of events that aren't looking for single men. Maybe a general site revamp. Desktop version feels very outdated imo." These are all good ideas | |||

Maybe a general site revamp. Desktop version feels very outdated imo. These are all good ideas " A bit outdated, your being too kind. Its one the most convoluted ill thought out, Unusual friendly websites ive ever come across, and an hour spent here gives me a type of euphoria I would expect if i was sat in a council office in croydon, in the 1970's.....everything feels grey, suicide a welcome friend. I don't know whether this is on purpose to stop single guys from joining or whether It's a form of torture to keep us from leaving, as punishment for joining. An eternity redrafting profiles, following a never ending link to delete our account and instantly forgetting help as soon as its been given. Nothing needs to be added It works perfectly fine and i can navigate it to have fun and make it Worthwhile me being a member, leave as is please | |||

"I've read the thread and can think of workarounds for most of the ideas. Do people really think that Fab has the budget and team of Twitter or Facebook? " I agree with your first comment. But with the second: Sites like this are a complex balance between usability, compute costs, revenue, draw and the x factor (not the TV show). Fab kinda has the last two in the bag. I, for one, would gladly pay a bit more for some of these features that could potentially greatly improve the user experience / usability/ perceived quality of the site. Because many of these changes, particularly those pertaining to search options, incur more compute and therefore more cost. Indeed, what sites like Facebook have shown (Twitter is an exception to this rule), is that listening to your users, continually polling them for feedback and reacting to it, even when it incurs additional costs, can result in big upticks in user satisfaction, more word-of-mouth referrals and, ultimately, a significant uptick in revenue. These sites use telemetry to monitor absolutely every aspect of the user experience, right down to how long you spend looking at each pic or how many times you search for X over Y, and then use a lot of machine learning (AI) to make their site more responsive. It’s no coincidence that three of the biggest companies on the planet are built like this. Sure, imagining a swinging community like that would be amazing, but people have tried this sort of thing and not got a lot of market traction in the past. Indeed, many of those sites are now virtual tumble. So, there’s a balance to be had, and with it, a conversation. Ideally, in it’s own forum section where owners / mods might let us know they’re noticing! | |||

"Also, I think some of the "perks" you get with site supporter should be extended to the whole sight and I don't get why they are exclusive to us. Like the ability to save messages, who has looked at me, larger higher quality photos etc. If anything it holds the site back. Bare essentials imo." Errrr....because if they were available for everyone then no-one would pay and Fab would close down. (Bry) | |||

"I would love to see fab as an app form for iOS and android. " Won't ever happen, as both app stores ban "porn" apps and that's what they class Fab. An Android app *could* be developed but it'd involve users "side loading" it from a third party web site, with all the security issues that entails. (Bry) | |||

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) |
"Something to suggest that members do/don't accept/like tributes/cock pics etc." I see on alot of profiles that state, "please don't send cock pics. They will be ignored" But most still send them regardless. I am unsure why having a setting that marks "no cock pics" on a profile if some users don't actually read a profile. Me personally would make an assumption that if those sort of pics was wanted the user would ask for them after making initial contact. By that I mean I would never lob my cock out at someone in a pub or even a swingers club that didn't ask for it first. | |||

If you believe that no-one reads profiles then why do people spend so much time composing them and why do we have them at all?" It isn't what I believe as such. It is what happens. Mostly single women that get the most ignorance to their profiles. But couples do get it as well. As an example, Our profile states that we do not arrange meets. We only visit clubs. But we still get messages along the lines of. "Hey I see you are near by, Fancy a meet" All i'm saying is i'm not sure what you suggested would be viewed or listened to. Not slating you or anything. But from experience I don't think it would work persoanlly. | |||

"The removal of being hidden when looking at profiles. If you look then let the person who's profile it is know someone's looked as currently we know people look but are hidden from view. Stop all the secret squirrel people." Definitely not. When we turn this on we get flooded with "thanks for looking at my profile" messages. If we look and wink or message then we're interested. If we look and don't do anything else, then we're obviously not. (Bry) | |||

"Albums for photos.. One for public, one for friends to make it easier to change them Friends mail box Prevent photos being added to initial direct messages, until you 'approve' photos can be sent to you Ability to send videos to friends Auto reduce the 'reply with quote' to a couple of lines to make it easier to read a thread " All excellent suggestions! | |||

"A clearer list of banned words/sites, rather than posting something innocently then finding out you've been banned or blocked from messaging." Completely agree with this. We've recently fallen into this with a totally innocent comment in a message. I totally understand that Fab will have algorithms to pick up key words but banning without validation isn't on.

"Being able to make private photos your profile one, without having to set them to public first." Surely you can just change the picture back to private after you've set it as your profile picture. Won't be public for long. | |||

Can Accom - Evenings, Mornings, Afternoons, Weekdays, Weekends. And to be able to search on this." Vera good ideas. Searching is very limited at present and if users could add more categories of information about themselves, it would be fantastic | |||

"separate profile pics for couples when messaging so others you are conversing with know who is saying what on the message feed."

"I'd like Bareback to be added as an interest and a search parameter. As it is I find myself trying to guess if someone having not ticked Safe Sex as someone that therefore seeks bareback. It'd be useful if it was a positive choice in interests and a filter in search, as those that enjoy it enthuse about it." Defo agree with this! Makes it seem like playing bare is an awful sin, as long as tested between partners I don't see the issue. | |||
