Admin do see every suggestion that's posted. This is the right place in the forums to post any suggestions or ideas.
Not every change requested will happen though. People often have a tendency to think that site changes will magically change their experience and suddenly increase their 'success', when the fact often is that a few tweaks of their own profiles, and change in how they engage with others and how they utilise the existing tools available would solve many of the issues they think exist.
It's not always the site and it's design that prevents people meeting.

Even the appearance of the site appears to be unmanaged - we’ve been here for years on and off, and the ‘New’ icon on winks and friend request sections has been there all that time.
We appreciate the low cost you be a site supporter, but the whole interface needs some modernisation. |

As has been said in this thread and countless others, the site needs a lot of TLC.
Many modern sites that have active forums/communities actually have ownership that enages with said users regarding changes, a lot of them also discuss changes and allow the userbase to vote on upgrades/changes.
The OP of this thread raises a very valid point though, what is the actual point of this section of the forum?! |

When threads like this are posted I ask what would they like Admin to make improvments on and the OP's normally don't specify.
If you add what improvments you would like to see to the thread Admin will be able to see what they are.Suggestions are always read and if they are going to implement anything they let us all know  |

Admin need better communication with the community.
How about a list of planned changes and their ETA, a road-map?
As an example people have been asking for a body type filter for years and absolutely nothing has been acknowledged/changed. |

If your saying improvements are made and implemented do you not think it a good idea to people know
Maybe a monthly update in the section or somewhere else on the site of what suggestions have been upgraded
No point in implementing even small improvements if we don't actually know what has been tweaked

To be fair I said this and not that improvements have been made but not been announced.^^^
I answered the post asking people to say what improvements they would like as that would help Admin when they read the threads. I can't personally implement anything but you are in the right section for suggestions for Admin

Agreed, there need to be more interaction and openness.
The mention of 'admin' in various ways in this thread suggests a mystical overload, glancing upon the forums from afar, ever present but moving in the shadows 😅 |

I think that would be handy. Seeing that improvements are being thought about might dissuade some of the 'site owners never do anything' comments. Even if the ETA is 'Q3 2025' rather than anything specific |

Body type filter
Search for specific kinks or fetishes
More specific locations for meets
Etc. These shouldn't be hard to implement as they follow existing functionality. They just need additional categories adding. |

Sorry to disagree. Many of the threads like this have been very specific. eg change TV to CD, search by body type, change/correct the regions eg Norfolk is not in the East Midlands. A new club being added etc.
These have all been requested for years and nothings been done about it. Each year the site say 'watch this space... new functionality' or words to that effect and nothing, or as makes any difference, changes.

I remember posts in this section demanding a video facility to be added, which in fairness I said wouldn't happen due to server space but I was wrong.
People said we should have emojis...now we have emojis.
Working in the tech world most things are achievable but they take thought, time, coding and money.
Maybe everything that some people want will happen in time but on a free or low cost website it's unlikely to happen quickly. |

We have seen dozens of suggestions over the years and have even made some ourselves, but nothing ever happens.
I think FAB actually requested members send them suggestions a while back, but again, the site remains essentially the same as it was 5+ years ago. |

It's worth bearing in mind that there are usually circa 30,000 logged in at any given time. Only a tiny minority actually use the forums and only a smaller minority of those will ever make a suggestion.
The site would be unlikely to make changes based on individual requests, much like any site or business.
We all have 'ideal world' ideas but as the Stones said...you can't always get what you want. 🤷♂️ |

I might have to start covering all bases when I answer 
This thread wasn't specific to one improvement hence my comment of what improvements are you looking for. Specific threads I wouldn't have asked people to say what they wanted to improve as they had mentioned it.
Hope that is clearer
As an aside, a new club being added is a totally different thing, they just need to be approved by Admin. This may not be instant. |

If there were more engagement with regard to changes and if people could see they were happening, the community may be more inclined to get involved.
If you do not provide the means, people cannot use.
Ultimately it appears the site and userbase are neglected. |

I get what you're saying, but it seems the 'community' in general have been happily using the site as it's been offered for nearly two decades. My early comment about 30,000 people on average being logged in? It's currently at 40,000.
People seem willing to use the site as it stands. People meet every day.
I've often noticed that the profiles tending to make suggestions on 'improvements' and new services/systems are often either long standing profiles with single verifications that don't appear that active, or are new and unverified profiles. Almost as if any changes they suggest will open the floodgates to them getting meets with others.
Yet the majority of users just utilise the tools on offer and manage to engage with others and enjoy their swinging lives sufficiently. 🤷♂️
Suggestions and ideas are great. Any expectation that the majority of others either want or would welcome any of them though are going to be swayed by individual personal opinion and experience on the the site. People have often commented on what other sites/apps have available and how they find them in some way 'better'.
And yet they're still on Fab. 🤔🤷♂️ |

Mate, it shows you don't work and have no clue about Product Management.
Time and time again, even highly engaged couples will openly admit they get to know new people at clubs. Then use Fab as the afterparty social network, to keep in touch.
If that's what you envisaged for Fab, brilliant. |

Or that they just have different opinions. 🤷♂️
Mine is my own. I'm a volunteer here, not staff with no powers to enact change any more than any other user.
But I've been here almost since the beginning. I've seen many changes. I've seen many 'competitor' sites spring up. There's no monopoly on swinging, which sites people have to use, nor how they choose to use the sites they do or how they engage with others.
I'm curious what the 'elephant in the room' is?
Snobbery is thinking you're above others. The site is, and always has been, open to anyone, free to use and there to utilise how you wish within site rules. Anyone can join. People can use as much or as little of the site as they choose. It's for all, not just for any one segment of swinging society, and as such it'll never cater to every request, need or wish of person that uses it.
And as someone who's run his own business for a decade I get suggestions and requests from clients all the time. Few are acted on for a variety of reasons, be they practical, financial, economically viable or because they wouldn't benefit or appeal the majority of my customers base. Anyone who really believes that any business/organisation/website can cater for all and adopt every suggested change is being optimistic at best, and delusional at worst. |

This is a digital platform. The dynamics might work a tad differently, you'll find. Average number of users at any one time is one metric. Maybe they're here to perv on the amateur photos, who knows?
Point being, there are many people saying Fab is stuck in the past and it needs improving.
You don't respond to that by dismissing that user feedback. |

I've repeatedly said suggestions and ideas are a good idea.
Nobody has said otherwise. What some don't seem to be understanding is that the site can't be all things to all people and offer everything that each individual wants, or feels would somehow enhance their own personal experience. Life, and websites don't work like that.
The Site feedback forum wasn't here when I first joined. It was added to provide a platform for people to make suggestions. But it's existence will never mean that everything suggested will at any point happen.
And as I said before. Views and opinions expressed by mods are our own, not the sites. We're Fab users too. Unless you see something posted by the admin profile then it's just another viewpoint. |

I think you misunderstanding what mods do.
We're here to simply monitor the forums to make sure rules aren't broken, and act when they are.
We don't make the rules. We don't have any say in what they are. Likewise we have no ability to enable changes to the site any more than any other user.
There's no reason to close the thread.
If you really want to see what changes have happened over time, see other suggestions made and whether they were implemented, see the views of others and opinions/thoughts given, then I'd personally suggest switching to the desktop site and viewing this forum there. You'll see the archive of every post made since 2009.
You'll also see the volume of threads (the number in the brackets next to each month) and be able to see that it's actually one of the quietest sections of the forums. If huge numbers of users were vocalising the same ideas, suggestions and views and had the same complaints then it would probably be more likely that change might happen. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
This forum isn't hidden away. It's there for anyone to use, whenever they choose and to suggest anything they wish. People may agree with ideas and equally others may disagree.
My opinions carry no more weight than yours. 🤷♂️ |

The owners read all feedback. It doesn't obligate them to do anything but it, at least, gives them some understanding of opinions.
Many things are asked for, over many years. Perhaps they'll arrive one day |

regardless of your view, most people on this site agree its massively outdated, i mean jesus the little emoticons havent changed in a decade atleast for example haha, but given apps like …. we cant say its against the rules etc, this site generates a massive income, surely the site can adapt and modernise
and yes i get, if its not broken dont fix it, but an app would be nice, user friendly etc rather then safair, web and feeling like im on windows 98  |

Adult site apps aren't allowed on play store or the app store, so it's unlikely that would ever happen. The mobile site was introduced to provide an alternative to the original desktop site when the majority of users began to access the site via phones. It's not an app, but acts like one and can be added to any phones home screen as an icon.
Re emojis - there were always more available than just what you saw, you just had to know how to type them (there's many an old thread with huge lists of the hidden ones), but last year it became possible to use any emoji on your phone. All of them.
Hope that info helps. |

Could the site add a page to say “you said, we did” and just list a change log for each release and update.
May help with some of the comments on this thread where people don’t see or feel the change |

But a forum search would show the previous new features
And for someone who has been on the site for a very long time, only by that would know that when suggestions have been made and at a later date these features have been implemented and the site works well tbh |

As someone who joined over 15 years ago, there has been change
Videos
Message filters to friends only
Chat using mobile
New friends / winks
Emojis
Volume of photos
However I would agree with what others have said there has not been a huge amount and the site is very much the same as was. Which again works however it would be good for example if some had a club meet up that you can search by club… |

I'm not aware of any online site (including the likes of Facebook, Tinder or any other app) that has a system requiring the submission of user ID. Fab offers the option of photo verification to confirm gender (not identity) but whilst I'd personally have no issue with it as I've provided my details to many swingers clubs over the years for membership, many 'genuine' swingers have repeatedly said they'd never use the site if such a system was introduced.
There are filters to prevent contact from those you don't wish to engage with, be that just gender or age, or those with neither photo or physical verification.
The site also gives great advice re safe meets and contact with others, but I suspect many will never read it.

In Fabs favour, a lot of people have stated that they like the simple design here - I'm really used to it, after 25 or so years and it can be refreshing to use, after the volume of badly designed sites, including big brand companies.
The simple changes I'd like - and I have no expertise in website development, so it's a crude assumption that it's simple - are improved user searching, where you can select, search and filter for more/all data fields that we've all added to our profiles.
It seems remiss that we've all added information about ourselves but we can't search by it  .
It's especially needed by those people who have to search amongst the biggest group of people here, the single men. Whilst the number of people searching them is smaller, the sheet thousands of men who have to be searched and filtered, is staggering.
Because they can't be filtered by search tools, it imposes the avoidable effort on those who want to find the right man. It's an onerous job.
If you can search and filter by age, why not height, etc?! |

"The fake blank profiles on these apps are now at record levels
With stalking cases rising in the UK
All genuine would welcome a more stringent verification process
Something has to change as it's way past the tolerable stage now for the genuine user! "
I trust my common sense more than any verification flag or tick |
