The latest feature to hide/show tags/timer is great, congrats on that! I have a quick question on same - is it possible to toggle the show/hide feature at the user profile settings level rather than just the thread level?
Thanks! Yes, something stopped working. For some reason these settings are not saved globally. It should be applied to all posts/topics. We'll look into it. Thank you.

Alright, we have a take 2 of the tags and timer stats - these are now saved in your profile and you can hide/show all timers/tags across all forums and these savings will be saved. You can control show/hide settings by toggling them on a question timer/tags. Once you set them to be hidden or visible that's how they will stay until you change the setting. This will only work for users who are logged in. Welcome comments and suggestions!

KUDOS
So I noticed the chat activity is quite pedestrian at times and I wonder (and apologize if this has been suggested) if it might benefit from being open on the side of any page? So like the white portion on the right hand side of the screenshot attached as an example but you get the idea of having it open naturally for people on various pages rather than a single dedicated room that takes you away from other content. My suggestion would be have it naturally logged in to once you log into your forum account otherwise have it automatically generate a "guest##" tag. I think the chat is a brilliant aspect, I think it could benefit from the natural influx of users by adding it to the majority of pages on the side allowing people to pop in and out and already be logged in when they log into forum account (assuming this is feasible but I feel like I've seen it on a few sites).

Thank you for the suggestion. We are working on a new version of the chat that is integrated with the forum and we hope it will be more visible/effective. We have not considered posting it on every page but we have been thinking about showing a list of people currently active in the chat.

I have a suggestion which can tremendously help students browse thru forums or during tag search. I had submitted this in GMAT member survey as well. Not sure if you got a chance to read that.
Let's consider a scenario where I want to attempt questions with difficulty level 700 and Source : Official guide. I use the search function and find those questions. But there is no way for me to know right away if I have already attempted those correctly. I actually have to go inside each question to check if I had used the Timer to attempt that question.
You already capture that data when I attempt questions - anywhere, in any forum.
What if we can include a green tick or a star against all questions previosuly attempted. So that I don't have to check it one by one by going inside the question. Same can be applied on general forums as well. That will save so much time, and students can focus on questions that they have not attempted earlier.
I am attaching a mockup of the screen. Pardon my photoshop skills. Thank you - i saw your post earlier and then failed to reply. I like the idea - I will pose it to the developers. I will post an update once I hear back. Good idea! BB

Hi BB, I'm not sure if this is the intended meaning but during profile updates is it supposed to read "Save and Proceed"? Versus "Save and Processed" which is currently the button (image attached). Cheers, Cameron

I'm not sure if this has been suggested or is already a capability I'm simply missing, but I would like the ability to search for key terms in reviews. For example if I'm looking at the several hundred reviews for an admission consulting service and am looking for specific reviews where people mention GPA or an individual consultant I think it would be really nice to have a search bar. Or at least the ability to open all the reviews on one page so I can do "find in page" myself.

It is a really good one - I have been struggling with Amazon's reviews before they added ability to search through them. Same about Trip Advisor and others that have hundreds or thousands of them.

bb, I have noticed some inconsistencies while sorting posts on a sub-forum by "author". Not sure whether its a bug. So, for example if I sort PS forum by author and I look for author "MathRevolution" - I do not see any post. But, if I just go to the forum and browse, I do see a lot of posts by that author. I noticed this behavior with other authors as well. Attaching a screenshot. Here the PS forum is sorted on author, and you can clearly see that it does not show any posts by author "MathRevolution"

I will check it out. I wonder if this has to do with the old school things such as capitals. Linux often treats capitals as different letters and shows all username with capitals before showing any lower case. Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum App

Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum AppNo, that is not the intention. So when I click on any tag, the resulting list does not show the clock anymore, In the attached screenshot, I clicked on the tag "Official Guide", resulting in a list of questions. I have already attempted the first question, but now it does not show the clock. Thus, i have no way to know whether I have attempted those. Hope this clarifies.
