I suggest you ...

More photos displayed throughout site.

One thing lacking about skadate is the amount of photos not visible throughout the website, logged in or out. Members should be seeing photos even when they are not searching profiles. Let's take an example, when I look in my mailbox and I don't have any messages, I am more inclined to logout of the website. But if there is a horizontal/vertical display of member pics (in the mailbox page) that I may be interested in then I may click on the pic and stay on the website longer.

These horizontal/vertical photos should be displayed by online or last online activity. This way members will have an easier time finding someone to instant message with or get a response quicker when they send a regular message.

A member that see's other member photos while on the site will stay on the site longer. It's like advertising your own website within your website, similar to plentyoffish.com. Plentyoffish.com is always showing member photos throughout the website and makes users more interested to stay on the site longer when they see an interesting photo. Plentyoffish.com is one of the most successful dating sites. Almost every page shows member photos.

You see how you guys have the feature of allowing the admin to display ads throughout the website via the advertisement control panel. Well there should be a similar feature to show member photos the same way.

You also have to improve on the gender display of photos. Let's say I am interested in searching for females and this is clearly selected in what I'm looking for in my profile. When I click on "members" then "new" members, I should only see new female members, not both new male and female members.

A male seeking a female should only be seeing female pics and never male pics, and vice versa. This should be standard throughout the website unless a member is searching for both genders.

I understand you also have the hotlist feature, but this is very limited. Plus some skadate users have only free memberships so we wouldn't want to use the hotlist.

    Hi everybody.

    We like the feature. and we are currently thinking of a possibility to implement it in SkaDate.

    We need some details from you: On what pages should the photos be displayed? Should they be displayed on the pages with profile lists (photos)? Should the system display random profiles, or featured, or new etc?

    Thank you for your feedback.

        I think this list below should be included in the skadate 10th edition release. skadate need to make 10th edition or version look like a other dating site.

        (1) Seperate men from seeing other men and women from seeing other women. currently men are seeing both men and women and women are seeing both men and women.
        this is not suppose to be like that. if i'm a member i don't wanna see the same sex with me, i wanna see opposite sex, i'm not looking for same sex, so why would i wanna see sex with me.

        (2) More payment gateways that accept all the payment methods including, credit card, debit card, e-check, pay by phone, bank transfer, mail check payment and that accept all the countries and convert currency.

        (3) automatically reject female message that includes contact information like phone number, email, address, website. this rejection will be by gender not by general. so men will be allowed to send their contact information because most dating is men that pay and female are free. so if men pay they should have the right to give their contact information to female in message text box, send gift text box, chat line. because female are free, they should not have the right to send their contact to men.

        or skadate can give the administrator the right to choose which gender we want to deprive the right by have female message text box, male message text box, female send gift text box, male send gift text box, female chat line, male chat line on the admin area.

        those three list above are the main things other dating software have that skadate is lacking or don't have.

        I ran out of suggestion,i wouldn't be able to suggest and it will be good if one of you can suggest the list above. there are very important.

        (4) flirts is a good idea to include in the skadate 10th edition.

        Thanks

        I wondered that 2CO module is not present though it was one of the best and secure payment gateway.

        This should definitely be implemented, and soon to keep up with other dating sites like Plenty of Fish and OkCupid. It would be nice if it was a module you can place on the page, such as how advertisements are done. Say for instance, you can choose to place the module at the top, side bottom on different pages, and then also choose the whether you want that module to be for new users, randomized users, or featured users. I certainly think random is best, as it gives the website a very nice dynamic feel to it.

        Nice idea.
        We have that "show members" feature on our existing site, showing 7 pictures on either online or random members (choice from admin area) and its a great value for other members.
        I agree it should be a "must" to have it on skadate too.
        It would be great (like someone mentioned) to specify who you want to display - example 3 gold members, 2 online and 2 featured or what ever the admin prefer to show.
        And separated genders is really a MUST on a dating site. Not a possible modification. This should be standard settings.

        Hope you can work this out asap... Can't wait for that to happen...

        Just a reminder that featured online members should show up first with their photos. The order is important as written below.

      • olabisiolabisi commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I think it's nice when a member login, their member's homepage should display the feature, online, new members photos like you have it on some template's index page.

      • newbienewbie commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I've already put some of my suggestions below.

        Also look at plentyoffish.com - This is the most successful free online dating website. You can get some ideas on how to best implement this feature.

      • IreneAdminIrene (Admin, SkaDate Software) commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Hello guys,

        Thanks for all the comments and votes. We agree that this feature is useful, and will contribute to a website's interactivity. We are still configuring the best way to implement this suggestion, and your feedback is of great value for us.

      • Michell AndreaMichell Andrea commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Can you incorporate new members, featured such as 1 or 2 premium user, suggested members (suggest members to view or members that are a match) along with radom members?

      • ConexyConexy commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I would guve this more stars if I could, placing photos at the headers and footers of pages would be interesting to keep users clicking.

      • EastonEaston commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I am totally in agreement with All of Newbie's ideas with one exception and that is i would like to choose the Order the photos displayed from the Admin Area...... Newbie's idea hit the nail

      • newbienewbie commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        This is the order of how members should be displayed.
        1. featured/paid members that are online
        2. feature/paid members that are offline
        3. regular members that are online
        4. regular members that are offline

        All these photos should also be selected by location closest to the member that's viewing them. Please, also make sure a male who is seeking a female only sees female pics and vice versa.

        The photos should be displayed in the home, my mailbox, my profile, music, video, blogs, chat, forum and group pages.

        I also prefer the photos be displayed at the top or near the top of the web page in a horizontal line.

        Skadate members, please put your input or ideas.

        With this feature, paid or featured members' pics should have priority in being seen and should have a highlighted border color around the pic.
