I guess I am just curious what people are thinking about the new features we've brought to the site.


Map Search (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=59)
Game Finder (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=60)

I haven't heard too much feedback on these, so I'm hoping to get some.

Don't be afraid to be harsh if you think they suck, only the truth can make these features better.

If you could, please fill in this little template and post it.

Thanks.

Good idea? Yes/No
Do you use it? Yes/No

If 'No' to either of the above, why?

What would improve the usability?

Do you use it? It is not something you would use that often, but it is nice to have for when you want to use it.

Good idea? Yes
Do you use it? I think we need more members before it will be useful.

What would improve the usability? Instead of just saying [Customs] or what ever type it is it should say [Type - date - Time(with timezone)]

I wish that were possible, but the prefixes are predefined and aren't really dynamic like that. But nothing is stopping people from putting that in the title of their thread.

What would improve the usability? I think you should make a sticky thread where people can post what times they are normally available. Also as psycho mentioned we need more members to make it useful.

Other Comments: Unrelated, but what sparked the spike in new user sign ups recently?

Definitely a possibility.

Unrelated, but what sparked the spike in new user sign ups recently?No clue. I'm assuming we are just getting back to a norm, because before the site was down for several days, we were getting an average of 3-4 new members per day.

Nothing directly related the feature itself, more towards the people who reply to the thread.
