In the past three days, I have been reading the user suggestions section and I agree very many, great suggestions have been made and most should be implemented in the coming days. Nothing will affect the core functionality of the forum but then make it a better place.
Most of them will be User Interface wise etc.
Easy to search and locate past content.
Easy to post video content and play videos without clicking links again- A general UI issue
Easy to navigate threads and even get popular topics per day, weekly, monthly or even yearly and quarterly
Also, there is a user who suggested something about duplicate threads and for instance, someone posting sports issues in the politics section- I think this is an issue with moderation.
New users may find it hard to navigate and even post, suggestions on how this can be solved are welcome.
Do you need to access the forum through something like a mobile app for both android and IOS and get alerts just like other social media apps?
Let us keep sending suggestions.
Sleek new modern forums look but Ktalk brand identity remains.
I will suggest what worked once in a vibrant Kenyan forum…enable Live chat…for those who are online to converse anonymously…na unipe moderator status kama shukran…that alone imetosha for a start…
All pinned threads unpinned. Pertaining to the search, I have outlined in the post how it will be done because the forum is big. In the next few days we will introduce live search where when you search something eg " Jobs in Kenya" posts automatically pop up
We will give users full control of their content and username change etc but usernames will for instance be changed after every 30 days. For deleting threads, someone will have the first 30 minutes to do that, after that, only admins can do that.
My thought though. Those that want the app get it, those that prefer web go for web. But instant apps are good now that we are also introducting LIVE CHATS
