Profile Page Changes... email this discussion to a friend?

Crash (7)   ranked 1,291 out of 32,365 in mylot.com2 years ago

We have made a handful of changes to your profile pages today. Based upon your feedback, we learned that users who didn’t spend a lot of time customizing their profile really enjoyed the new layout, but users who did make a lot of customizations really needed much more flexibility.

So here is a summary of today’s changes…

1) The activity sortie will still appear on your profile by default, but you can now move this sortie, or even completely delete it from your profile page.

2) The activity sortie will continue to only display the last 10 actions of a user. To see the rest of a user’s actions, you will need to follow the “my activity” on the left-hand side of their profile, if you have access to it.

3) The “my activity” link on the left-side of your profile will not be visible to users who are not your friends.

4) If a user initiates a friend request with you, you will be able to see the “my activity” link on the left-side of his or her profile. This will allow you the opportunity to easily and quickly learn more about your pending friend’s activities on myLot and decide whether or not to accept his or her friendship. The user will NOT be able to see your “my activity” link until you accept their friend request. However, the user WILL be able to see your activity sortie unless you have removed it from your profile.

5) You can now remove your list of friends and list of interests from your main profile page by going into edit mode and choosing to remove them.

6) We have removed the top header of the page (myLot logo, search box, navigation, etc.) and revamped the extreme left-sidebar to remove a lot of the clutter and include the navigation removed from the header.

I think that covers it! In retrospect, we should’ve built-in the added flexibility into the original release. At any rate, this is the first of a handful of planned upgrades, so keep your eyes peeled for more excitement in the coming weeks and months!

So are you going to remove the ad links at the bottom of ever response given how its anoying and lags the page. The top ad banner was fine, but with links everywhere it just makes responding a pain.


myLot reputation of 95/100. webeishere (12375)   ranked 476 out of 32,365 in mylot.com  2 years ago

OIt doesn't look like they will as the
ads are here in these responses. Ugghh!

I doubt they will remove them... at least not yet. It depends on how much profit they make versus how annoyed the members become.

It REALLY ruins the look of the site with an ad after EVERY comment. Too many ads- clearly their main concern is money.


myLot reputation of 85/100. oneandonemakesix (24038)   ranked 2,189 out of 32,365 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Devils,

I don't think they will remove the ads, however, I will tolerate them if they help us earn a bit more money as well....

I find all the ads a bit tacky, but yes mylot is not just here for us to be a messaging forum, but to also make money, and I have noticed it slowing down posting and responding and loading pages, however, I tend to think that hopefully they will up their server bandwidth and it will be back on track soon enough.

I'd like to see more earning days like yesterday, which was well over 2.00, I haven't seen earnings like that since I first joined.

Mooch


myLot reputation of 92/100. MsTickle (8855)   ranked 994 out of 32,365 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Well I'm not seeing any ads at the bottom of every response. Maybe it's a US only thing. If it means more money for the US users and not the people who don't get the ads then that's unfair.


myLot reputation of 96/100. JJ4Ever (700)   ranked 833 out of 32,365 in mylot.com  2 years ago

I agree with you, Mooch. I saw my earnings shoot up a lot quicker since yesterday because of the updates that were made to myLot yesterday, I'm assuming. If it causes us to earn more, I don't mind the advertisements at the bottom of each comment. I've already gotten used to overlooking them anyway. If it helps us earn more, I think we can learn to look past it.


myLot reputation of 95/100. akuseru (1854)   ranked 99 out of 32,365 in mylot.com  2 years ago

I remember an update quite a while ago where myLot did a similar thing and put eBay ad modules on every other response on a discussion. It didn't last long, for whatever reason, so maybe these won't stay around either. I thought the constantly flashing Tribal Fusion ad that showed up on the homepage whenever I wasn't logged in was annoying, but these aren't all that bad. At least it hasn't added popups to the site--I'd quit spending time here if that happened.


myLot reputation of 92/100. CheshireKat (501)   ranked 1,162 out of 32,365 in mylot.com  2 years ago

At least they're just text, it could be much worse.
If this site got ridiculously image heavy I'd have to bid you guys farewell. (I'm on a dial up connection half the time.)

I appreciate the optional removal of the 'my activity' panel, at least.^^


myLot reputation of 89/100. Zorrogirl (769)   ranked 3,891 out of 32,365 in mylot.com  2 years ago

i use dial up as well. i have turned off animations and images in my browser just for faster loading. being able to remove more to speed up loading is a plus.


myLot reputation of 93/100. RowenaTheWitch (556)   ranked 1,142 out of 32,365 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Thanks, now I can get rid of that activity sortie on my profile. It occupied too much space.
But I still can't see the new ads O___o


myLot reputation of 99/100. heavenschild (1716)   ranked 516 out of 32,365 in mylot.com  2 years ago

I actually don't mind the links at the bottom of each response...doesn't bother me and it may help us earn more...the Money has to come from somewhere!!

Thank-you My Lot!:)

Thanks also for the Profile Pages...I really did not like the first upgrade you did but this improves that upgrade greatly!!:)

Thanks so much!

I like the changes a lot and am also glad that you still give us the option of making changes ourselves. Being able to keep items out of our profiles is great in case there are some unsavory people out there that like to play games. Keep up the good work.

hey crash! its a good idea that you gave us the option to remove/move the "my activity" sortie. personally i don't want all people to see everything that i am doing here at myLot.^__^

but i kinda didn't like where you put the myLot logo and the advertisement. its not a problem for me if the logo is on the header. but i do mind seeing the advertisement on top and on the left side. maybe it would look better if its on the right side. i just don't like seeing it on top everytime and on the left side of my profile and home page. it is such a litter. if its on the right side i can just leave it alone.^__^
