Dear members,
After taking many of the members' opinions in addition to the moderators and adminstrators, I produce this report to show what do SF and FEP needs for being updated this summer.
So here I summarise the opinions into points:
Student Forum:
1- New themes, this was suggested by many members by the approval of the adminstration too.
2- New graphics, resources, pictures...etc, as this will make our forum more interesting, attractive, and eye catching.
3- A chat room, which is really needed in such a forum, we used to have one but it was so slow and not working properly, so a good, fast one is needed.
4-New emoticons, to be used by the forum's users, the ones like in the freeetextbooks are good.
5-Modifying the REP system, in which it let the user give a reason for -REPing or +REPing a member. But as it's not preferable by many of the members, so it's better to cancel it.
6-The ability to apply attachements in messages, and this is recommended alot as we face some problems when we want to attach something to someone in a message.
7-Spell checker, this feature will be nice and unique and will be a good idea while posting.
8-Adding a drawing tool, which will make the members able to draw something while posting as many subjects require that.
9-Adding a scientific calculator when making posts as it'll be great for members.
10-Expanding the amount of attaching per post as this will reduce many troubles that might occur to the members, increasing it to 16MB will be good.
11- Changing in the membergroups and make them more than this will be more interesting and remarkable.
12- Making new competitions weekly or monthly and giving prizes just to make the forum becomes more enjoyable and better.
13- Reducing the number of advertisements on the forum would be great, or just changing them to be more helpful or useful to the members.
14- Adding and modifying the games on the Arcade which is going to be chilling in the summer!
15- Modifying the ban system and the ban triggers as we face problems when banning anyone.
16- Increasing the security level in the forum, so that it will be a safer place.
I think this is everything I got, if you have anything else to say please tell me I can put it here immediately.
FEP:
1-New theme and design, a modern look, more colours to make it more attractive for people wanting past papers.
2-Changing the way papers are listed, to make to more easier for users to navigate through.
3-Changing the font and the size of it so it can be good and easily read.
4-Images from the boards or anything else is required so that not getting confused(Sometimes).
4-Reducing the numbers of advertisements on FEP as it becomes annoying sometimes.
Again, this is everything I got for FEP, once again if you got anyhing else to suggest please tell me so that I can add it immediately.
By this, I hope both SF and FEP will be better the upcoming year, and they both become the first student forum and the biggest past papers website. For that to be done, we need all the co-opeartion from all the members, as together we'll make our forum the best no doubt.
Special thanks to all the members who said their suggestions and complaints, we really appreciate it. Also ofcourse to the adminstration and my team for their hard work to make sure everything is going on well.
SF and FEP way to goo..!
Yours Sincerely,
sweetsh/ SF's Adminstration
