Survey done...

A lot doesn´t apply to me though as a ´rest of the world member´ meeting up or going for a pub lunch just isn´t feasable..

Mind you I only joned for written contact with people so thats fine.

Feedback from the survey seems to have stopped and so we flicked through the pages and pages of the print-outs that were made and prodded a finger into the pages to stop on Millianne as the winner of the £50 vouchers.

The link is still open for further feedback if you feel you've never had your say and you can still go there and make your selections and responses

Oh oh me me please miss i've had a thought and thats not that often. What about a feature (pardon me if there is one already) but one where you can see when a member was last online, that would help to work out if it's worth while sending someone an email that people have been complaining about, if you can see they havent been online for maybe a month then you know it's maybe not worthwhile sending a message?

just a thought, now i'm going for a lie down

Astgte, are you having me on? It's already there, on the Profile page, under the line drawing.

May I just clarify something: just because someone has not visited the website for a long time, it does not mean that that person is not worth your while to contact. What is important for contact is a functioning email address and if the server can send that person a notification when they've got mail, it does not matter when the last visit was.

We have a mechanism here whereby we constantly check out email addresses and if they bounce back we suppress them after a few tries. It is therefore possible that someone joined a month ago with an AOL email address, and you will never get an answer from them: because AOL does not deliver automatic mailers into private inboxes, they all go into trash. Only a few AOL users check their Trash and make the right clicks to move it out of there.

Hope that shows everyone that things are not always as they seem at first.

I have often replied and told others that this is not a dating site but meant to make new friends world wide. Seems if your from another country they don't want to know you. there are interesting people around the world who can add alot of interesting things to this site. I like the idea of being to post a photo that you've taken..or a photo of your art work..whatever your hobby is..I think its a great site myself.

Personally, i like the 'no photo' rule. Rogues' gallery, sorry 'Photo Gallery' is bad enough lol.

Seriously, i believe that if one is only after friendship, then it's better to evaluate people by how one finds them rather than by how one sees them.

Appearances may be (deliberately, or otherwise) deceptive but one's character tends to come across quite clearly in the way one speaks and writes.

I'm prepared to be in the minority on that one though.

While it is good that you want to add features, my personal opinion is that the you need to start again, we live in a web 2 world of interactive sites.
