just chg da font on freeexampapers.........plz plz plz :)
and it wud b helpful if da papers of All years(of dat particular subject) were on the same page in a list like on xtremepapers.com....navigating through da site is quite time consuming...
evrything else is fyn.....mayb a bit more colorful.....
-
yup themes wud be gr8 .. and i think the site needs sum organising .. i mean that right now every1 that needs to ask a question posts a new topic .. so many topics are there now for just 1 subject all talking about the same thing .. it makes kinda crowded and disorganised ..
it wud b gr8 if topics in the same subject are put together .. and sticky topics for individual subject questions cud be put
it wud then become easy 2 access posts without wasting time searching in old pages
-
Twilight I was thinking of the same thing, actually im planning to write a full report about the FEP and SF and will mention all your opinions guys.
-
the forums is just GREAT!
for free exam papers....u can add like images for every qualification......like for CIE put the image of cambridge (something like that if u know wt i mean) :D
-
why dont we create 20 or 30 moderators who can move posts and topics?

-

thank god,
i couldnt beleive u spank astar

Ofcourse not! Hahaha he was kidding
-
shame on u sweetsh :P
lol........LOL

He's lying..! :-\

I find the SF look great-its very clear and good colours-however yeah the multitude of 'threads' talking about the exact same topic is annoying and makes things hard to find-for example there are 3 threads talking about the IGCSE biology paper 6 exam..
I personally also think FEP is okay (the look) and I really like the organisation-just my opinion i guess. I think the dark blue colour is very unique but sometimes I find the words hard to read...
overall great though!!
-
She makes me ask her about everything now.

This would meake updating the databse very slow as each paper would have to be handled separately and an update can involve 1000s of papers.
-
the paper organization is just fine
making fep look like sf would be great
this will also look like they r linked (like from the same management)
-
She makes me ask her about everything now.
Because I ask you abott everything, you became asking me about everything, we understand each other.. I can see :-\
-
sweetsh he is just jokin around, he is pretending as though he is annoyed - but he is really thankful for all your services, so am i.
Anyway - the guys at fep pm'd me about this post, and they said that they would really appreciate if you guys could draft out a plan for the layout of fep, bcuz they aren't happy with the design themselves.
Also - the font at fep can't be changed because of compatibility issues. your browser sets its default font for fep, the scripts at fep doesn't change the font of the site.
-
Since we are planning to upgrade the forum and FEP if necessary, i'm planning to make a report including everything you recommend or we -the adminstrators- wish to have it here.
So I ask you everyone to put your suggestions and opinions of what to improve over here and to make it more successful and one of the biggest, best forums.
Don't hesitate as your suggestions will be certainly put into consideration, and when I finish from doing the report, I'll put it on the forum so everybody can see it.
Thank you for your cooperation, hoping to see your replies.

Student Forum's Adminstration
-
Old users who havent logged on for like 5 months should be automatically deleted, it saves bandwidth and more names to choose from :)
-
and old posts from last year too :)
-
Nice cooments abdulrahman101....the administrators should consider these
-
The following are my recommendations towards FEP:
1) FEP should have a better design instead of just having a blue background and dull fonts
2) FEP has many materials which are posted many times with different names...they should be deleted
3) FEP should take a survey of what consumers want.
4) FEP should take students from different parts of the world to create model question papers...like Solomon press for maths (I'm ready to do it for Edexcel)
-
Deleting old posts and members doesnt save bandwidth. Old posts should not be deleted as they form a searchable database. Members can be deleted after say 8 years. This i from the maximum they will find the forum useful.
-
i dunt have any complaint.... if it provides us wid all the resources v need n works fast it's 8)
-
Good, thank you all.
-
I have a suggestion that must take place now.. we cant afford to wait till summer..
Sweetsh, ur signature has an error that must be corrected. The word is "upgraded" not "upgrated"
thank you,
AL*Eagle
-
Sorry, typing mistake, will correct it.
-
Sorry, typing mistake, will correct it.
Anytime..
-
So say what do you wish to be changed in the forum.
-
The style.. needs a lil bit of update.
Also Freeexampapers needs allot of work.
Chat box possibly? I can supply the html codes for it..
other than that... the forum is great..
-
With more sleek looks and beauuutiful graphics more resources will be needed. Then this site will be juts like that students-resource.com Whick takes hell of a speed to browse thru. Its better we left it as it is.
-
my suggestions:
1. if u wanna +REP or -REP someone, give a reason (reason can be automatically sent to the member by pm)
2. the pages should be automatically refreshed
3. the ability to add attachments in pm
4. a weekly competition should be held, for most helpful person, i.e. beside the REP and number of posts boxes, a new box should be added showing how many questions u answered etc.
and that's it, dont change the design, its fab, but a new logo would be nice, hope u take in my suggestions,
thanks :)
-
There should be a shout-box / chat-box thingy, so u talk and it automatically sends the message without pressing refresh all the time.
-
Yes a chat room ofcourse.
-
I already gave my suggestions to Astar in a pm!! ;D
AND THANK YOU EVERYONE!! :)
-
Yes and the forum will have lots of new features this summer
-
nd By the way astar, wassup with the server??! u hav to fill up its gas tank every few weeks to keep it working correctly? thanks tho, for recharging the server's balance......;) :P
no cool grafix, i wud hav 2 wait 5 years fr 1 page... nd can we hav a comments box like fb instead of clicking on reply, then replying?? cuz wen it gets slow then its like 5 ppl hav already posted b4 me........
hope im still here durin summer.....
-
i agree with saif that many graphics and stuff are not needed ,this site is better plan and simple but a site cant be just beautifull with heavy resources with little better codes and colors/design and style it'll look more appealing .
i feel there should be some way to award members who work hard.. by that i don;t mean to make them MODS straight but in any other possible way . i see may members in for example IGCSE section working hard and helping members so there should be a spot light on them , like best member of the week or something like that . that will motivate other members to be more active and supportive
dnt have much time to be online ,, i will post more stuff later if i had .
thanks
-
I feel this too. A lot of members post ansers to maths questions when I am on a mobile phone and cant make long posts.
-
yes Astar even physics
-
ANYthing would be possible but make sure plz make sure it would be supported by the bandwidth, any website goes failing if it was slow, i mean really ppl get annoyed, i registered on april, but the site was slow over here, then some how on mid-may the sie became faster then started using the forum.
however u could add these (no need of killer graphics or so)
1)some chat box (tht everybody is allowed) to talk, u know, just instant messaging(however this mak cause the increase in incoveniece and long to use the forum,hence causing it to be deserted)this might change the true personality of free exam papers...
2)and yes, spell checkers, just like on yahoo answers. where it tells u u have errors and gives u sugestion to correct it.
3)able to attach things at pm, but things tht are not more than atleast 2mb, i mean common just imagine what will hapen to bandwidth if a dude was send 11mins (about 16mb or so)video to another guy.so its great to set the limit to atleast 2 mb of attachments.
4)add a scientific calculator when making posts..(withs sin,pie,cube roots,etc)
5)give students awards for each subject who worked hard or generally worked hard(who gave most helpful links, answered the most querries(where u would see the members name on answers to querries), and gave most helpful and detailed answer and wre really explained well) this would encourage other members to help others.other rewards tht does not include wearing off the abillity to get repped or repp
-
The money for the bandwidth was just sent. Apparent there was trouble with a bank account which had a ceiling on it, but we had to use it because the hoster does not accept credit or debit cards.
-
My instinct is to let people upload files as large as they want but I dont know if we have an option over the size of attachments
-
Thank you Shogun, aslo I was told : New emoticons like the ones in www.freeetextbooks.com, and to update the arcade adding new games.
-
yup new emotions are great,ure welcom sweetsh :D
-
hmm...
ok so da font cant be chg....
da ppr organisation cant be chged..
in other wrds nothing can be chged... :P :P :P
Lol
den i suggest u can just chg da color.....blue is a bit depressing..
and organise da adverts a bit..
other den dat da site rockss!!! :D ;D
-
yea i mean im getting advertises about matrimonial stuff. we r students, so just wth im supposed to do with such adverts... lol :-[ ??? :)
-
Google adsense is nnt perfect. When the forum gets so big we can do our own ads. As foreign students you are valuable in the west because you pay higher fees than home students.
-
i think adding a drawing or graphing tool wud b gr8 .. u know, to help while posting sum answers by making them clearer with a drawing or graph
-
I have wanted a drawing tool for months.

Notice: The topic "Refresh freeexampapers.com" and "Help Us to Make The Forum Better" are merged together.
-
There's a breakage in the links at the top of the page in freeexampapers.com (below the news, after 'You are here:')
If you go three levels or more deep (e.g. GCE A level > Maths > AQA), and then click to get back to anywhere apart from the first level (in this example, click the 'AQA' link (which should just refresh the page) or the 'Maths' link and it'll navigate to a 'blank' page with all the FEP theme, but no listings.
My suspicion (based on the 'You are here:') notice on the 'blank' page is that is joins together all the words of categories (e.g. A LevelMathsAQA) and tries to go there, but it doesn't exist.
-
the screen goes blank but the servers tiny little mind is fetching the papers and downloading them. I investigate all broken links and files. This one works I think. I just tried it,
-
Here's a link to one of the 'blank' pages from the example above
