IQ v5.0: What Improvements Would You Like To See? (112 posts)

← Group Discussion Group Discussion Directory

Dennis said 1 year, 7 months ago:

Work on v5.0 started the day after v4.0 was uploaded a couple months ago. You will see v5.0 sometime after the first of the year.

Our 2 main goals are faster more reliable service and better profile pages. As far as better service you won’t have to wait as long. Over the next 30 days or so we will be moving to a cloud based server cluster which should make for faster loading with zero downtime.

The new profiles will have picture and video galleries rivaling or surpassing Facebook. We will also have event calendars within profiles and Groups.

Those are just a couple of things we are working on. What would you like to see?

I love the idea of picture and video galleries, everyone can have a sample reel up here :-) What about a blog for members? just throwing ideas out. or a place for certain people (like Steven comes to mind) to have all their articles together.

Technology wise blogs are easy. As a matter of fact we already have it built in, we only need to activate them to turn the feature on.

But… there is always a but.

They can cause major problems. First off, there a spam-blogs that are a huge problem and to date there is not a easy preventative method I feel confident in.

Second, it is a major customer service investment. Just think of all the “how do I post a video in a forum” questions and multiple that by a thousand.

This is something I have had my eye on for a long time and hope to have one day, but can’t tell you when.

Another item we will have is auto-syncing with all your social sites (Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Flickr, Last.fm etc.). When you post/upload something to those sites it will automatically appear in your activity stream. It also works in reverse, when you post a update on IQ it can be cross posted to Facebook, Twitter, etc.

I’d like to see easier navigation, especially when it comes to discussions and groups.

Things like, jump to page showing the last two pages, not just the last page. And page navigation at the bottom of multi-paged discussions.

An easier way to find private groups and updates to them.

And a clearer way to separate quoted text from original text.

Page navigation for longer posts would be good. I think what scott means is something like:

Jump to Page:
1, 2, 3….. 14, 15 (Last Page)

That’s exactly what I mean, I’m pretty good with remembering how many pages the thread had since the last time I read the thread, and it annoys me that when page 11 goes to 12, that I have to goto page 12 to move back to page 11 to make sure I didn’t miss anything.

[unless this board setup knows which page the first new post occurs on :o then it could do 1, 2... 7... 14, 15 but I think my head's in the stars again].

Does anyone else have any ideas?

It can be anything from fixing a bug, to new feature or a whole new direction for the site. Sky is the limit!

Here’s one – the last message received in your inbox should go to the top of the inbox. I have some correspondences that’s sitting in the second page of my messages box and I have to keep navigating to that second page in order to answer it.

New message should already move to the top. Are the dates in order?

I would like to perform… uh… better. You know. Last longer, be more impressive.

Of course, I’m talking about my demo reel.

I would like to see a space in profile where people can introduce themselves, like who they are, what are they doing, their interests, etc. Sometimes I get friend request but I have no clue who am I talking to.

We have those places now. Just go to My Account > Profile > Edit Profile. You will find all sorts of places to add info. We don’t require anyone to fill it out, but it is there if you want.

Profiles is the main area we plan to improve on. They must be more intuitive. We also will be adding many new features. We are still testing so I don’t want to list everything, but photo/video galleries and events will be on the list.
