I’m working on a few great partnerships that should help significantly improve the number of dive buddy members all over the world. Many of you have provided great feedback on the website. Now is the time to report any errors or feature requests to me. As you use the site on a day-to-day basis, please look out for any errors and report them to me.

I would appreciate all your help.

Sincerely,

Greg Davis

Can you make it mandatory for a new member to list their location? I often have to look for subtle clues as to whether or not a new member is local to me. It seems a lot of new members start with the basics like a name and photo, but don’t add their location until much later.

One more thought. Since I am only a free member I am limited to the amount of buddies I can send a message to at 25 members. In other words, since I have more than 25 buddies I cannot send a message "to all." No problem. Let’s say I only want to send a message to 20 of them, but some are on page 1, some on page 2, and some on page 3 of my buddies list. If you check all the boxes and then "send message" you can only send that message to the buddies check on that page only. I have to do it all over again for Page 2, and again for Page 3. When you go from page to page it does not hold onto the checked buddies in a memory. Sort of a pain. I hope this makes sense Greg?

The link for Emergency Descent under clubs is broken.


It seems the Club organizer may have intentionally disbanded it.


I was a member but remember receiving an email that I was ejected somehow without any warning or cause.

I just updated the Join process...now it looks up the zip code entered and automatically adds the city and state to the new member’s profile. Of course if the default city and state are wrong, they member can always change it under Edit Profile.

  1. Can you please make it possible to rate peoples photoes. From 1 to 5, where 5 is the best! That would make people more careful to put up good photoes, and make it more easy for me and other members to find the good ones, if ou also make it possible to search photoes depending on their rating. Maybe peopel would get more interested in putting up more photoes this way? Why not make it possible to also categorise photoes, in scuba divinb, personal and other?
  2. I would also like to have the possibility to see how many people have been looking at my side since my last login, and who.
  3. I would love if there would be a possibility to have an emty space between two lines like this... I ask you for 3 things, but can not put an empty space between then, have to separate them by colour. Otherwise it will all melt together even if I have the numbers.


 


Thank for a great site Greg.

I just added a rating system for photos. Test it out and report any issues to me. Regarding photo categories, you can already apply a category to a photo and search through photos based on your selected category. I will soon add the ability to search through photos based on their rating (one we get a few people using the rating system). Thanks! Greg
