Ok, peeps – we had a meeting about many of these suggestions yesterday, and I have news! (Yes, Neuron Geek was there!)To make it easier to understand, I’ll just go area by area, with the ‘status’ news.Review Program:• Save draft reviews - The Standard template for reviews will soon be able to save drafts – just like we already have with the Extended templates. • Product Search - changes continue to happen; however, the request to only show the products that are available for request is not entirely possible, because there are many products that have multiple limitations / statuses. It is not always obvious to the public how each product is involved in many processes at once, on many levels – yet this is necessary on our end. That being said, we’ll keep thinking about ways to make Product Search better.Review details – public view: • Voting results – We will start showing the voting results on your own reviews, as long as you are logged in.• Review publication dates - On the public profile, these dates will be added to be viewable on mouse over.EF Messaging system:We’re going to make it possible for users to delete the messages in their outbox - as well as multiple/batch deleting of messages.Chat room:Not happening. We have considered this a few times, but with the forums and the messaging system, it seems a bit excessive and would be to the detriment of the forums. However, the forums can easily be used to have back and forth conversations with a group of people, and it will be less exclusive to those who want to see the conversation and learn from it. Private conversations happen in the messaging system. Both needs are met. Forum:• Editing - We will make it possible to edit your last post, as long as no one has posted after you. The reason being that if someone has already responded to it, then by you changing your post, you change the conversation that has already begun. If someone has posted below you, you can always reply in order to clarify or correct something you posted – which is what is often already happening. • Spell check - We cannot turn spell-check on for the forums – it owould make you miserable. None of the toy manufacturers’ names, as well as most anatomy, slang and colloquial terms are not recognized by spell check. We suggest simply turning on the spell check in your browser. • Signed by notice – We will add a notice to the forum posts “Your post will be signed by ##ScreenName##” so you can see before you submit. This is already the case with Review Comments• Images on the forum – Guess what! We’re going to make it possible to easily add images to your forum posts! Even from your own folders – not just online images. We are creating a little uploader as part of the post box. • Formatting – we’re going to add more instruction for how to format on the forums. We already have ‘How to add links’, but we will also soon list things like how to use italics, bold, and underline.Public Profile:Stats - As far as listing the ‘total discussion counter’ and ‘total post counter’ on the public profile, we’ve decided not to do that. It really does not tell you about that person – about how useful or meaningful those posts are – those are just stats, and not really needed. Other:We will add a pop-up layer to each contributor avatar. When you mouse over an avatar, you will see a snapshot of the ‘About Me’ page for that person – unless they do not have a published profile yet, in which case you’d see a message that says their profile is not yet published.So, there ya have it – lots going on! You will start to see these changes happening in staggered fashion over the next 3 – 4 weeks. Excited?Yeah, me too!Thanks for all of the suggestions, everyone! less

I actually have one more suggestion - include multiple circumferences for toys without a uniform width. EF already excels in the amount of information given, but this detail would be quite useful. I'm thinking of the Tantus Revolution here. The head is bigger than the shaft. less

Mr. Sauce, I'mma give you a half spanking! No half stars! Actually, I think we have it this way for a good reason - specifically being able to sort by rating when looking at products in a search or on a category page. But...to be fair, I will tell Neuron Geek that you asked. less
