I am just doing SC - Punctuations and when I tagged the SC forum, I found two tags both having caption as Punctuation, although the listed questions are all different.

Is there any difference b/w these two tags?

Is there a way to implement a quick reply box at the bottom of the page? (I'm not sure if this has been suggested or not. I'm sorry if it has)

Thank you. It has not been; I was considering it but never really put into action - you think it will be a good value add?


I think it is a convenient add for the users.

I'm not sure what you mean by a value add, so here is a list of benefits that I see:

  • Quick and convenient access to reply
  • A very simple typing interface (vs. the traditional, slightly more cluttered reply page)
  • One less screen the browser has to go through, which can help make sure that the replies stay relevant to topic

With benefits there are also cons:
  • Can increase spam (can be reduced with a quick reply button that gives access a quick reply box

These are all of the cons I can think of off the top of my head.

Sometimes it´s difficult to get quickly what is the best answer for the topic if there are many replies. So would be nice if the "best answer " were placed bellow the thread´s open text.
(best question could be the answer with more Kodus - Praetorian suggestion)

Hey, I just wanted to humbly second bwizzle's post from a few pages back. I've been using GMATClub occasionally on my mobile and it's not as functional as the full version, which I think a lot of phones can handle straight up at this point. It was definitely useful on my old old blackberry but now its a little less so. In the mobile version we can't jump to the newest unread post, text is crazy big when the phone's side-rotated and the date/time, user avatar/info and links to full profile and direct reply PM are missing from each post. If it was at all possible to enable to full version for Android/IPhone devices, that would be amazing. If not, thanks for looking into it and thanks for the site.

I always have to go somewhere weird to find the GMATClub tests because there's no link to them on your tabs up top. It would be great if you could have a link to them, possibly under the Self-Prep tab.

Thanks

Great work, but maybe the Wiki pages can get a little more attention? :) (And the issue with editing Wiki pages - keeps saying invalid login) I've already mentioned this to Praetorian, but I thought I'll post here just in case :)

Hey,

After talking with some people on the chat, just thought I'd suggest enabling multi-user PMs within chat? :)

Hi I was thinking if there is not one already to get some kind of GMAT prep book exchange going? Or like a freecycle type thing in the gmatclub community where people can offer books they're done with and others can ask for ones they need...even if it takes a certain number of posts to get access.

I know after I am finally done with this GMAT business I want those books out of my sight for good and have gotten so much value out of this forum already I would be happy to give something back, I think others might feel that way too :)

Hi bb,

I do like the bookmark function and have a couple of suggestions (I'm talking about the "bookmark topic" link, not the "bookmark and share" button). I don't know if improving this is a priority because I don't know how many users actually make use of this function, but I do.
Can we have a "My bookmarks" link near the "new messages" link? It would be ideal if they open up as a menu as in any browser, but at least to have a direct link instead of going to User Control Panel and then to Manage Bookmarks would save a lot of time.

Other request I have is to be able to move up or down the bookmarks. The ideal would be to be able to organize them in folders, with separators as it's done in some browsers, but going to the minimal, just to move up or down the bookmarks will help me to group them by subject. I have several bookmarks about strategies for verbal, other bookmarks for quant, and others for mba application. As I've bookmarked the topic in a random sequence as I found the topics, they are all mixed up and it's difficult to search for a specific bookmark, I have to read through the list. So if it was possible to arrange them manually that would be really helpful.

Thanks for considering these suggestions!

Hey bb

I have started this new thread where I am adding the Essay topics for the Fall 2011 admissions.
here is the link:

bible-all-school-essay-topics-for-fall-101549.html#p786986

Can you consider making it a sticky or something so that it can be useful to maximum number of people coz it can be a real pain to find the Essay topics on some of the University websites.

Thanks

Ditto on this recommendation. It's annoying to see untagged questions without a source.

To Whom It May Concern:

Received the email saying I haven't logged in for a while. I do plan to continue to use the site, but I have about a year to take the test and will probably not begin studying hard until I return from Afghanistan.

As it pertains to the site and potential improvements, I found it very frustrating when people did not post the OA and OE for questions. I mostly use the site as a question bank and to have people post questions and then say "Discuss first, then OA" is rather off putting. While it's admirable that people want to have a discussion, it is a fact that some people just want to work problems.

Recommendation: a question can't be posted to the site unless it is accompanied by the OA, the OE, and the source (OG, MGMAT, Peterson's, etc.). This allows people to just answer questions and move on or, alternatively, answer questions and then ask for further OEs in other people words. Everybody wins. Additionally, people can see the quality of the questions they will encounter should they elect to purchase additional study resources. As someone that has previously taken the GMAT, I can say that there's a wide variety of study material out there and stuff like Peterson's is in no way representative of what people will actually encounter on the test. By posting the source of the question people know before they buy what kind of questions they will encounter.

Hi BB,
I wanted to congratulate you for creating "Practice GMAT Questions" section. Its really really helpful for practicing lots of problem from lots of different sources. I do have a suggestions.

We must have certain pointer to identify if the post was replied by some expert. That will be really helpful for those, who still trying to build there base in certain area and looking for experts advise after try posted problem. For example : If I want to practice S-V agreement problem where experts were already given there valuable advise, Then I should be able to select those problems rather than searching. This will help me to verify, if my way of approaching that problem was similar to experts or not, or is there some other way i could have approached that problem.

I hope This would help lot many other people like me who trying to build the basics.

Thanks

Abhishek

Hi bb,
Hope you're doing well. I have a suggestion for "Share your GMAT Experience" community. Lately, that forum has started looking very cluttered with a number of people starting their GMAT Journey threads or starting threads for suggestions.It'd be better if all these journey threads can be moved to some other forum possibly "GMAT" forum so that the "GMAT Experience" forum is utilized for what it meant for and it also looks user friendly,clean and uncluttered -like the way it was before.

hey bb - not sure if someone's suggested this already but would you want to activate the gc forums on "tapatalk". It's essentially a new app for mobile devices that will seamlessly integrate into all sorts of forums. Check it out at https://www.tapatalk.com/plugin.php

Hi there. I totally agree with Cookiesn. It would be great if you could provide support for Tapatalk — I know from first-hand experience that it's quite easy to take care of on the forum's back end (it's just a matter of installing a simple plugin). At the same time, support for this native iPhone and Android app would address what is otherwise a much less-than-optimal mobile version of this forum and increase audience engagement — it would become much easier for us to follow and participate in forum discussions whilst away from our desktops/notebooks.
