remove men who think women ask for it from the forum, but not limited to. I seriously can't believe they still exist, I grew up with it, but it's my parents and grandparents generation, not now, how is it that I'm in my 50's and more advanced than some guys in their 30's ?? Too much time spent in the classroom, and not enough in the classroom of life. I've spend a fair bit of time in the classroom of life and graduated with honours Sorry little vent there, on topic, your suggestions are perfect and I agree all those things are annoying. The reply with quote works if you go directly to the forum using the tab at the top of the page, but if you follow a link from your feed, it then doesn't work once you get in there, or does sometimes, most times not. They do need to fix that. I like the oversize smiley's, though I do see the issue with that mucking up the format, I'd still rather see them left the size they are, they look so cute. My biggest gripe is the search function, completely useless, they need to use a normal search function like on ebay, allow us to put in a word/s and hit search, the stupid suggestions they come up with, it's annoying, I never bother trying to use it. Not sure how other people feel about it also keeping topics in the active section when they sometimes haven't had comments for months? Hardly active. That's all I can think of right now but looking forward to reading the other comments

I would also add that if they insist on moderating all posts for people who don't have IP then put more people on the job! Sometimes it's taken half a day or longer for a post to appear and sometimes by then the topic has gone cold. I understand the need to moderate and don't feel entitled to IP until I've proven myself but sometimes I would like to be part of the conversation.

Double line spacing when using devices like iPads, showing the actual number of comments instead of a big time lag, reply with quote function to work on devices like iPads. Oh and follow this topic to be operable on - you guessed it - devices such as iPads. The edit option would be great when you make typos - it frustrates me and sometimes even though I have checked, a word will delightfully change between me hitting the post your comment button and it appearing! But then you would have some sneaky people changing their comment when they receive a reply that offends their nature (inserting large emoji here) 😉 Last user posting would be brilliant with a time - most free forums on the net have this function.

Edit posts .remove the subject line. Possibly notify me if someone quotes me but that would probably need to. Have a opt in / out option as it could get annoying I just find sometimes I miss comments directed at me because I never go back to the thread. Remove the tags and a better search function. - Posted from rhpmobile

To keep the design clean, the poster's info could be made available if you hover over their photo (the same way it happens in the search screen). The forum search is hopelessly broken and desperately needs repairThe classification system seems to be completely arbitrary. I see topics appear in multiple boards at the same time eg Dogging in Bunbury is in 'Swingers Lifestyle" and "Fetish and Fantasy" right nowThreading is needed because to often someone responds to a post and no-one else knows which post the response is aimed at

...have a look at the last two pages of my "Lame Messages and Instant Turn-Offs" thread. The way the forums is structured leads to lots of miscommunication and ruffled feathers. The functionality of this feature leaves a lot to be desired and can make people a bit pissy. Also, I've didn't know about the "instant posting" privileges until just now? Would be good if that was outlined somewhere - how you earn it etc? And I agree with PhoenixGirl - if most posts have to be moderated, put more staff on to meet demand. Otherwise, couldn't you implement something like the Reddit system - user upvotes/downvotes for content and modmail for inappropriate content??? More user input to content and less mod work (staff) required? And tags are useless.

Further to some of the suggestions made by others here, I would suggest modification of the comment drafting window such that it precisely corresponds to the format that appears once a comment is actually posted to the forum. Peachy has alerted me to a workaround (by using the private message drafting window to create a template for comments prior to posting, Thank you Peachy) but whilst functional, it is much slower, clunky and inconvenient as a practice.

haha I love that I'd really like a blushing emoticon. I have one on my phone and use it often I love these ones, they're really cute but some more would be good. I overuse them, I know I do, can't help it, need to put myself into emoticon rehab. I might try and go a whole day without using one baby steps

I like many of those already listed. I'm cautiously suggesting an addition, that I'm not sure would lead to calmness or a madness, but I wonder if there could be a way to mute a poster's posts. So you'd have to hit another button to actually view it.

That would be a good work around but I wonder if it it would just be used to gain attention of members for hook ups rather than messaging them . it is frustrating though I'm not sure what the solution could be. Maybe how we have subscribe to this topic it could be subscribe to posts that mention my user name. Then if you are posting on a tooic saying you want mfm you won't get a bunch of notifications offering services if you don't want to get them.. Dunno just throwing ideas around . Would love to be able to attach memes lol - Posted from rhpmobile

So you'd have to hit another button to actually view it. mute a poster's posts? how about just not reading them, simple as that, and not saying things like this. What posts would you feel the need to 'mute' on a forum. I'd be interested to hear more specific information. I read your comment as suggesting you can blot out certain people. Is that what you meant? It's an open forum, so how about you and the others accept it's not your forum, it's not theirs, it's not mine, it's an open forum

Quoting 'Summersolstice' Quoting 'PepperRose' I wonder if there could be a way to mute a poster's posts. So you'd have to hit another button to actually view it. I'd love that! A lot of websites have that function, for example: "Mature content, click to view". Certainly would make the fora a more pleasant place. oh yes, thanks summer

Specifically I mean to continue from the blocking feature of profiles. It seems to make sense to mute blocked profile posts from forums (with an option to read). I can't be more specific than that, since I haven't blocked any people who use the forums.

I would like a 'follow this event' button. Its a right pain to go into the events listings and scroll through to find the one you have registered for. With the follow button you could get updates on attendees and keep track of any changes made to the event details.

So you'd have to hit another button to actually view it. mute a poster's posts? how about just not reading themI'm actually against the forum mute button too (though it is a little bit Alanis Morissette Ironic since you've previously said not to reply to your posts, instead of just not reading my replies....don't you think? ;) ) Imagine if instead of profiles showing on posts, you had a random name given that stuck with you just for posts in that thread. So in this thread ITM might get Thing1, I got OtherThing and Pepper got SomethingElse, and we might be completely different pseudonyms in other threads. You could still follow a particular person's comments/quotes for the length of the thread, but you couldn't preemptively judge based on the name next to the post, you'd have to take each post based on its content/merit not on the writer's reputation/previous interactions. Obviously never going to happen, and would be counterproductive where forum personality presumably has 'benefits' on this site away from the forum - but I think it would make it interesting. (besides, I think the forum block would be more likely used less as the "quiet child, let the grownups talk in peace", and more as the equivalent of the "send nasty PM then block before they can reply" like a little kid having a tanty then "fingers in the ear and lalalalalala") I think those "active" and topics pages have the listing generated on a batch job that only runs a few times per day, it's less intensive on the servers to do it that way i.e. cheaper, but it gives those results where a topic is horribly old and dead, or one with lots of recent activity shows up as having none. +1 Remove those horrible aggregation forums that show Dogging in Bunbury all over the place, just keep it in one place.+1 fix the quote formatting. It would really be a lot simpler if instead of live markup we just used standard quote format like on other successful forum systems e.g. vBulletin, phpBB - it is super simple to parse, preview and see why something is fucking up. -1 on actual threading, most big forums I've been on don't use the full threading model, it is awful IMO. No threading just proper quoting. (if we could do markup quoting like phpBB then even iPads could quote by copy and paste if the 'quote button was buggered). Notification could be done easily by using an 'at' symbol like on other sites, scan for an 'at' and then send a notice. I don't think I'd have it go back and update the callout' if someone changed their display name though. By then it should be old news.Quoting 'SYDnobarbie' make the forum posts visible only to registered members - not the whole of the internet. Making the forum posts public to the whole internet is unfair towards the members who post their views for the benefit of the community. It is a security risk and as such it is the reason why I stopped posting or paying for membership. BINGO, not going to happen as the forum increases the pagerank IMO, but this one definitely should be a thing, it's also an easy thing to do too.

I've been thinking about that since reading your post (re forum posts only being visible to registered members, not the public). Mixed feelings since it was the forum that led me to the website and without having seen the forum, which helped me figure a lot of things out and gave a valuable insight into the website and how it worked, I wouldn't have known about it, so it is not only a brilliant way for the site to advertise, but benefits by making the site more visible. So I thought more about it and how do you think it would go if all members are automatically hidden from view, grey matter, when they first join, so on the forum they would appear that way but comments could still be read. Then every member could have a box to tick in settings which they could activate if they want to be seen, but only in the forum, so that's the key problem at the moment. If we choose to hide our profile, it's hidden across the board, no-one can see it, but what about an option just to hide it in the forum. That way, people who are worried about security, domestic issues or worrying situations where they really shouldn't be seen, the choice is then an individual one, but with your profile still visible on the remainder of the site, you can still be active. Just a thought, don't know if that would work

actually to add to my other comment, if they made it so that we could see each other's profiles within the forum, but then left it up to the individual to hide it from the public? There are times when I'd like to be invisible in the public eye and other times I don't care, and it's always for fear of RL people reading it and being potentially offended by what I say, personal references for example, we all relay things from our life and experience but don't necessarily want the people in question to read our thoughts on that. I think we would all be a lot more open about previous relationships etc if it wasn't open to the public to read. So much I think is either not said or lost in translation because only hints can be put in of what we really want to say. It can be offensive or hurtful to the people we're talking about, but interesting and sometimes helpful for other people to read. So to have the option to use it like that, I think would be good

of my gripes about the forums have been mentioned I think. It's such a clunky format but I'm not holding out much hope for change. I don't think IT is really one of RHP's strong points. I'd be all for being able to mute certain people's posts. And yeah restricting visibility of the forum to members only is a big one.

I think you've made some good suggestions here, particularly concerning the IT housekeeping aspects (formatting, threading, notification). Your suggestion with respect to the anonymisation of forum Posters by means of forum alias' different to Profile Names has some merit. This may help to reduce the incidence of disputes/disagreements, though many regular forum posters (and I certainly) may still be identified by our content, language and writing style (even if attempts were made to mask these characteristics). In any case, I strongly suspect the interaction of different personalities will continue as before irrespective the name attributed to a Poster. In light of RHP's business model (as identified via the Site Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy, the Media Pack, and the Advertising Pack documentation amongst others), the suggestions of some people to restrict forum participation to paid members, and/or restricting reading capability from open internet access is not likely to change as it would undermine the financial viability of the business. The Site Terms and Conditions clearly state that membership fees are not levied in respect of the Forum (and specific other site features). Rather, the price point scale of membership fees pertain to the "advanced site features" (such as private messaging etc). This relates to the site's own external advertising/marketing/promotion activities as well as efforts to attract other businesses to advertise on this site. Deprived of these revenue streams (were the site to be 'closed' from the broader internet community), membership fees would surely significantly increase. The privacy and security concerns people have expressed are best addressed by more disciplined adherence to established protocols (including, but not limited to the abovementioned documents). I have sometimes wondered just how many people have actually readand understood these documents and their implications (?)

A forum promotes diversity of thought from a wide variety of people/personalities. That diversity of thought can cause friction and emotions to run high, of course, but without that diversity, it would be like your own group of friends having a chat? That's facebook, why even bother being on a forum, if it's such a burden that is The ensuing exchanges would be a series of friends blowing smoke up each other's ass, telling the others what they want to hear, completing boring for anyone reading it, and not conducive to free thought and expression, which is exactly what a forum is IMHO

I'd love the ability to 'ignore' a profile, rather than blocking it, so that it doesn't appear in your search feeds. Once I've worked out I'm not interested in a profile, or vice versa, I really don't care if they're the nearest people to me (mobile), or my 'best match' according to the alogorithms. Clear them out to make way for someone I might be more interested in. - Posted from rhpmobile

My opinion only. We can rant, get offended, laugh, discuss, sympathise and if someone really starts to get boring just ignore them. But to answer the question....a new button like the " like " one so if you find a post to be very thought provoking or helpful you can let the poster know. There have been some posts on here offering some great advice, and some offering sympathy during tough times. It shows how empathic most of us are xx

to not show forum posts with names to people (or crawler bots ala Google or Bing search) who are not logged in - the content could still provide the page rank bonus, but not the names (though you'd need to handle the issue of quoted names) which could be removed and these anonymised posts stored in the database as 'shadow' copy that goes to the google bots, it'd be really simple since the 'cot' of anonymisation is done at the point of storage, and RHP forums are mostly read not write.

Forum are bit unique to RHP but have lost steam...depends on what you expect.. I doubt forum side makes much money for RHP....don't want to elaborate further as most likely admin will kill the post. There are 3 kinds of post. a) Post related to knowing more about casual dating...I guess nearly everything has been asked...if RHP wants it can create FAQ b) Time pass for forum regulars - This one will keep going. If you in this zone. You are at right place. c) Anything more serious or deeper then a) - My experience for some reason there is tendency to abuse serious post and finally RHP will kill it. No I am not saying every post gets abused. In short the dirt keeps accumulating and the quality is approaching the lower limits. These are generic views not intended to judge anybody...the bottom line is every thing has a use by date unless it rediscover itself...

Quoting 'rupamohan' Forum are bit unique to RHP but have lost steam...depends on what you expect.. I doubt forum side makes much money for RHP....don't want to elaborate further as most likely admin will kill the post. I'd argue the opposite because the forum keeps a site fresh in the eyes of Google, and that keeps RHP showing up in the results for everything we talk about here. Forum might not directly make money, but it has other benefits besides just acting as a differentiator between that Other Site

Rightly or wrongly, that practice is commonplace throughout the digital economy; not just social media. Various other businesses also accept and publish content from unpaid contributors. Huffington Post is one example from the News Media Sphere. Further than use of content supplied at no charge, it is typically the case that ownership rights are surrendered to the business entity too. The benefit to paid members here is that RHP can sustain lower membership subscription fees if more people are attracted to the site where they may view paid advertising and/or sponsored content, and they may be enticed to pay for membership of the site. Paid members are able to take advantage of the more advanced features of the site which are not accessible by non-paying participants.

I refer specifically to the practice (business model) of taking unpaid content furnished by participants, taking ownership of that content, then monetizing it through advertising, sale of data (aggregated/anonymized) for marketing purposes, or by attracting people to purchase additional features/privileges for a fee. I do not suggest all social media businesses levy fees for user participation. You will see from the EULAs, Terms of Service, Privacy Policies and other documents, of all of the businesses you cite, they do monetize your participation. The larger the population of users/click-through, the greater the likelihood these businesses can meet all of their business costs without the need to actually charge users for subscriptions. Remember, RHP is catering to a niche market, and as such, it has a relatively small number of users.

I have seen some people write in their profile. We are after quality not quantity...don't know what it means because invariably they hardily tell what is their meaning of quality and why both have to mutually exclusive. We want both. Anyway never found same being said at forum...I guess forum is purely about quantity... Forum popularity among young couples is rock bottom. In general couple section quantity is 50% down from peak. At peak it was doing about 300 posts/ yr now down to about 150.
