"Tell us what you thougt of this set" - *feature*

It's been changed so that you only get it once per set now.

hey there is something wrong with the "what did you think of this set?" pop-up.

it cuts your comment off basically (only posts the first few words). so then i have to find my comment and edit it and write what else i had to say.

does that make sense? this should really be fixed.

PS. I like this new feature bc it reminds people to comment(which as we all know is really nice * see sticky topic at top of Girls Board*), helps the user find the comment box if they for some reason couldn't before with the new site changes, & I say the more comments the better. It's good to know people liked your set. There are so many more people commenting now that otherwise would not have.

oh, but i hate the generic 'i loved it' thing.

im not too sure about this. im all up for commenting and letting ppl know how you feel. but having this pop up when i just click on a pic to look at out of the set is annoying. and i sometimes just cant be assed typing but then i have to. im sorry to say it and i will get a lot of stick FOr saying it most likely but i feel its almost like becomin almost dictatorship as in TELL US HOW YOU FEEL>>>>> WE MUST KNOW... shouldnt it be feel free to let us know how you feel
kind of reminisiant of how Facewhore/profilenation was a rockin profile site then they decided to change it to compete with facepartyt and to pay the bills for servers and now it is just a FP clone insteead of a really good profile site.
i dunno im a moody bugger after all but i just dont like pop ups and feel you should get to choose to leve a co0mment not have it pop up in ur face ever time u wanna glance at a set

Then, uh... turn off the pop up in your Settings.

maybe i will... maybe i will

How about they put the "don't bother me with this shit" option on the popup itself. Yaknow, like every other UI designer has been doing with such optional, annoying crap since around windows 95. That way nobody needs to be told to "turn it off in their settings". Because I don't think most people are going to realize one has to look there and click things in order to make the site usable.

Or, even better yet, how about they, instead of making this unnecessary thing a disruption to the flow of using the site, make something passive. How about a "tell the staff what you think of this set" button on the flashy new photo viewer flash app?

okay so i didnt read the entire thread, but i do want to mention that although i was a little distracted by the comment box at first, i have noticed a GREAT increase in the number of comments each set is receiving now. Which i think is the purpose. and i can handle a little irritation if it means the sets are getting more comments.

If they were meaningful comments I might agree with you. But seeing "I loved it" on almost every comment left just seems lame to me.

I guess I can't speak for the models. But I think if it were me I would rather recieve comments that people actually thought about. And I know sometimes those comments can seem cliched too. But I still think a "cute set' or "beautiful" that somebody actually thought about is better than a dozen "I loved it's" that may have just been left to get rid of a comment box.

Brilliant.

I also think annoymous members & members with 0 comments should be banned from the comment box as they're the main offenders of "I loved it". Maybe some kind of time period just like the tags.

There's an option in your settings for "set feedback", just turn it off.

i totally agree. its really bad. if a guy wants to comment. he will comment. it's just totally in the way.

Posh sez:

I agree that the "love it/hate it" buttons are a good thing in regards to coaxing more people to participate in the website and providing a more accurate idea of how many people actually liked a particular set. However, I don't think we need to see the same 3-line-comment all over the set threads.

Really, I think that comment-counts in set-threads have become a pseudo-scoring system and that's not what they ought to be used for. When a user can pump up the comment-count on a particular set with a simple mouse click, it starts to feel like a Hot-or-Not-website experience. When an SG sees 1,000+ comments on her set, of course she's going to be flattered, but is she really going to read such a cumbersome thread in its entirety? A lot of folks might be discouraged from posting in a thread with that many comments. Or they may be encouraged to click "I loved It" instead of taking the time to point out what they enjoyed about the set in more detail.

If there was another way to tally the "I loved it"s that allowed the person viewing the set the option to either, reveal their identities or remain anonymous, without cluttering up the threads, (where some folks have actually bothered to write something), that might be a satisfactory compromise. I don't necessarily think the set threads should mandate substantial comments or even an actual discussion . But, if someone simply wrote "yummie bewbs " that still took more thought than a mouse click.

wow you just totally changed my mind on that. i used to hate the 'i loved it!' thing, but what you said totally makes sense.

I'm glad to know there is an option to turn it off now. Thanks for adding that, Powers that Be.

Yes she does. I knew there was a plus side to this! She stole the words out of my mouth

As much as I hate to admit it, the I love it comments are a fairly nice addition. As Posh said, the anonymous can still let their approval be known. But on top of that, I think this makes an improvement on the actual comments left on sets. Think about it: amongst all the "I Loved It" comments, yours will stand out, therefore leading you to put more thought into it. But on top of that, it's a nice gesture for the models knowing we could easily press a button and be done with it; and yet we still went out of our way to show just how much we love their sets. And if you don't like a set, you can let it be known without hurting feelings and causing a bunch of drama in the process.

+1

agreed.

what I'd prefer to see is a button in the upper left, next to where you can favorite a picture, that allows you to bring up the comment window. and I'd like to see it with more than just a "love it" or "hate it" button. maybe a window for a more in depth comment and a 1-5 skulls or hearts or robatzombieninjas or whatnot.
