Ok,
If this has been asked before I apologise but I cannot be assed to wade through 600 pages of moans and groans it makes me depressed.
When are we going to be able to seach the adverts again???? Not the pointless profiles which seem to have appeared frorm nowhere and actually tell you nothing and which incidentally I never wanted in the first place!!!
P.S. Even with the profile why does it say they have not got pics when they have????
Thanks
Him who used to be Glosguy before this all changed!!!!

From just looking around, i gather that if the users have not set an image to be theri "profile" image, then it will say that no image is currently present (even though they have a gallery with photos) not 100% sure but almost...
:-) I don't have time to read all those pages but I can no longer see pictures in ads, is that something known, or is it because I'm using Firefox 1.5?
Cheers

Nothing to do with FireFox. A few reasons that you can't see images are:
a) You are not logged in when looking at adverts
b) adverts are not set as profile, thus clicking on the "view gallery" should show them
one thing that might be in effect if you are using firefox, is the Adblock plugin, this tends to take out the photos from this site. If you have it try disabling it first. (if you have problems with disabling it let me know and i will guide you).
Now a problem that am having :P i can't seem to find how to show anything for my "location" in my forum posts, it still shows as empty, and am sure i've searched every possible part but no luck.
in the account setting i've set my postcode and my town. Is there something/where else that am missing?? banghead
The 'ignore' function on the forum is not behaving as expected.
If a user you are ignoring sends you a PM, then your 'new mail' indicator will flash, but no mail will appear in your inbox. The only known way to turn the 'new mail' indicator off is to take the user off ignore, and open the PM, which rather defeats the purpose of ignoring them!
Additionally, the user sending the unwanted PM is able to see the read/unread status of the PM in their outbox, which may not be desirable (I can see this one causing rows, just like the 'block function on MSN!)

Hope Im posting this in the right place.
When you get the results page after searching it would be good if when you click on a link to view a profile it opens in a new window, or enable right clicking on the link so you can do an "open in new window" rather than having to back up and then do a refresh.
Just thought it wold be more user friendly and quicker to use. ie click the link, view the profile in new window, check the pictures if there are any then cloce that window and you would still have the search results in the original window so you could then click another one.
Just a thought, loving the new site though, well done!
Is it my system, or have there been no stories since last Friday?
John.
Also:
- Preview does not truly reflect what will appear, hence the mess in my previous.
- a second reply following a first does not automatically lock onto the original thread. But that was probably me being careless.
Please please can we get the photo ad search up and running. Did this site have to be "upgraded"?
definatly don't seem to be sending photos with on site messaged. what exactly does "(click image to add)" mean? cus you can only select from the drop down menu. is that all you have to do or is there more? either fix the function and/or the text instructions smile

:small-print:
We've been members for years, but since the change, we are shown as having only joined this month!
Can we get our original date put on as we want it known that we are not new to this site, and have in fact been on here for about 3 years, before the previous upgrade of the site!

Do you think a welcome PM to people who have't used the forum area before might be possible St3v3? Just a general "welcome to SH and here's some advice to get you off on the right foot" kind of thing?

Chatroom Feedback
Last night I went on a recon mission into the chatroom – it was not a pretty sight.
OK let’s start with the technical stuff:
The screen is one size only and has small type – not good for visually impaired or people with small monitor. Well it is so small it is just not good.
Options are required to maximise the screen.
The flow is jerky. Very Jerky and sticks. You can type something and there is a delay before it appears on the screen.
If you want to see a profile of a single male – there are so many on the drop-down list that you cannot get to the users at the bottom of the list as it disappears out of the bottom of the viewing box.
If you want to ‘whisper’ to a user it is difficult to find their name on the right hand list – god knows what order they are in – alphabetically would help.
Running slow is an understatement. There were many complaining of freezing. On several occasions I had to come out and go back as it had slowed so much it was almost at a halt – could not type or select any menu.
General Impression:
What a fucking disgraceful place (sorry I am trying to be constructive here but it was).
Although I didn’t see any offers of money (bugger) the quality of content in that room was gutter trash. I am not easily shocked – in fact I don’t think it is possible to shock me and as for being open minded and liberated; I think I can safely say I am. But that place was the pits.
The system itself didn’t aid conversations – but the people in there had no interest in talking – just asking if they could get a shag.
The only blessing was that there were no op’s to control just how sarcastically I replied to the twats.
People every 10 seconds cutting and pasting a repeated plea for a meet and filling the screen with their details. People openly giving pvt details out.
When you did actually find a reasonably intelligent person to have a chat with it was impossible to have any form of conversation with the jerking, freezing and endless jeering of pathetic wankers egging the cammers on to get their tits out!
WTF is the camming facility doing in there? Should that not be a separate section. As soon as a few fems/couples turned the cams on it just became a wank site. Cheap and a total disgrace to the whole site. In my opinion the room appeared to be filled with a mixture of:
a) A bunch of guys who would normally pay per minute to get a girl on cam and had now discovered a place they could get a cheaper thrill. They generally had no respect for the female on cam – something that is generally considered a foundation of swinging.
b) The quick shag brigade – nothing wrong with getting a quick shag – but at least have some bloody respect for yourself and others!
I did originally think the original chatroom users were over-reacting: I now feel they were being quite reserved.
Summary of findings:
You guys fucked up big time on the chatroom . I would like to be more constructive but quite frankly I am still pissed off from the experience of going in there last night.
More than ever I believe you have to split the chat facilities – as per my previous suggestion. But in addition have a camming section separate for all the wankers! And finally – get the op’s back if you are going to have a chatroom for actually chatting and getting to know peoples names before deciding to ‘ ya tits out ‘n’ drop ya pants’! OK you may not want them banning your 'paying' customers - but they could at least bloot them for a short while and advise them in that section thier attitude/behaviour is not appropriate. - then point them in the direction of the gutter-trash section.
Dont know if this is the right place but
Can we have the View previous posts and members profile facilities back
as a def non techy if i want to PM someone the only way is to try to find a post of theirs on a thread

Just to pick up on this part, the OPs have no power in the chatroom any more, no buttons of any sort so they have stopped using the chatroom. Mind you, most of us are unable to run it or read the small texts.
I would hate anyone to think OPs have the powers to do something to help when we don't sad

I know you don't sweetheart kiss
And that is why it has gone down the pan evil
I started out in the chatroom on this site - long before joining the forum. I did go back in there from time to time. I could not beleive the state of the place last night - I actually felt somewhat ashamed to belong to the site that was running it.

What you say about the chatroom is correct Pololady, it is currently full of complete cretins who have no idea how to use a chatroom. We tried it on Monday and it was difficult to have a proper conversation although we tried. Too many idiots repeatedly asking "Anyone in Yorkshire", "Anyone in Leeds", "Anyone in blah blah blah", even people asking us "ASL?" when they can simply click on our profile to find that info.
However I think it shouldn't be totally written off just yet. The idea of being able to see the other couples and singles you are chatting to can be a lot of fun. Miss Rabbit and I actually met in another incarnation of this chatroom and if it hadn't been for the webcams we would never have done so. We've since made friends with a lot of others who we've been able to chat with on webcam. Even on Monday we spotted a familiar face and had a bit of a laugh on cam.
Those mod buttons are definitely needed, as is a solution to the speed issue. Until then however, there is one feature which may help overcome both the speed issue and the mentality of the "wannashags". You can set up your own room, which can be either a free room or a private passworded one. The aforementioned cretins probably won't bother looking in any other rooms except the main one, and even if they do if you have used a password they can't get in. Secondly, with less people in your own room it doesn't slow down half as much...and you can find people in the lists more easily too.

Valid points and the setting up your own room is good (though you have to wade through the wankers to find people you want to invite in). Having the webcam facility can be useful - but not all in the same place. Zoning chatroom areas specifically for different uses means you can go to an area that suits your needs.
Someone asked me a question last night - I replied as quickly as the system would allow. Yet in the meantime between the question and my answer there appears.........
wanker 1 - yeah babe tilt the cam down
wanker 2 - come on get um out
wanker 3 - oow yeah you are hot
wanker 4 - nice tits babe
wanker 5 - does that cam go any lower
wanker 6 - come on show us more
wanker 1 - yes play with those puppies
wanker 4 - show us the rest
wanker 7 - push them together
wanker 3 - come on show us your pussy
wanker 1 - get your old man to fuck ya
.................. and so on.
Yes a female had got her tits out on cam and the children went nuts - showing off their mature swinging mentality.
If someone wants to get their tits out on cam - so be it - I have done alot more than that - but I don't want to have to have shoved in my face the reactions of a bunch of wankers getting a cheap thrill instead of paying by the minute.
I went in last night as well PoloLady.... Yes it is a good job there weren't any OP's in as I would have been in trouble for my scathing remarks as well wink lol
I sat there and witnessed the most dispicable behaviour I have ever seen.... This is a swinging site and respect is the first thing that has to be shown.... Not once did I see any respect shown towards the other chatters rolleyes
I also saw one person stating that he was downloading a trojan horse to 6 people that were in the chatroom at that time... He then went on to brag that he was a super hacker and he could do anything he liked.... He said he was that smart.. :roll:
As for re-instating the old chatroom, I am afraid that it is too late.... Everyone who used to frequent that old chatroom have found another place to go sad
It makes me very sad but it is something that I said would happen from day one....

Even from my prospective as a guy i found it rather horrible, what's being said above is so so true, you sit there watching a whole load of people talking abslout crap (attempting to advertise and find that quick shag) it's no longer a chat room, more like a sleezy speed dating section with nothing but men!!!
The chat is far too small, and would do great being opened in a new window and being resized to requirements.
About creating private rooms, another problem with this is that they seem to remain created even after everyone has left them, which means the server is then spammed with 100's of empty rooms. Then to go back into the defualt room....well i had to close the chat and open it up again, as the list was too long and too slow to scroll through to find the right one, and even then am sure it wasn't listed.
it's a great idea having the webcam feature i think, as long as the room is used and moderated effectivly.
i would highly recommend using an irc based system again, for speed and reliability. Even if you wanted to connect usernames to profiles it's not hard to do (With the right person helping *hint hint*...i've pm'ed St3v3 an offer to provide my pro services for free..but alas ignored sad ) and allows for much better interface and moderating power.
but to sum up really, the chat room is completly unuseable, and is not worth of even being classified as "chat".... :(
As it stands and as it is being used can we not call it >>
"The Creche"
That way it will bring it into line with most of the uses on it.

One thing I'd like to see please...
I (as I'm sure others do) always report ads in the wrong category.
Please could we have a simple one-click way to do this to save time?
Cheers
