Hello to bb & bunuel, the admin of the club and other members!
I'm neither a moderator, nor an Admin of the gmatclub forum, but I'm a well-wisher of this club. I'm going to write something for considering some NEW features so that gmatclub looks like more attractive.
Here you go for those features. If you don't understand anything that I've written, I personally request you to ask me publicly or privately.
1/ Inbox should be LAB version like gmail ID inbox. (please see the screenshot #1)
--> Preview Pane:
Enable the ability to toggle on/off the ability to view your messages side by side with the message list.
2/ Clicking on any question/post of "my post"should direct to my post NOT opening post ..Directed to my latest/last permalink". Please see the screenshot#2a, 2b
3/ Should have "NOTE option and SAVE button" so that we can note down that we need to ask to the forum expert because we can't write our question or (answer for newcomer) sitting in one place-member are busy with their personal life, may be.
4/ If someone is a current student s/he should have an indication (about his/her Business School) in his or her profile of GMAT club so that we can easily find out our specific business school's student for PM or something like that one..
---> If the current student is from Stanford, then his/her business school should be in the search of arrow sign.
Please see the screenshot# 4
5/ Every current student should have a SPECIFIC COLOR/ SAME INDICATION in their name. like CBS students' color is yellow; Stanford student's color is RED!
6/ An option (like ADMIN, EXPERT, etc.) for verified scorer in gmat club-verified scorer is more trusted than unverified scorer!
--> If someone verified his/her score in the club with 770, there should have a 770 search box so that we get all 770 scorer in a place.
Please see the screenshot# 4 for taking idea.
7/ There should have a numbering system (like post#1, post#2) in every post that we make in any specific topic.
--> Because sometimes the thread being more pages for quoting the original one and it creates more pages when we make print copy. So, if there is a numbering system, we can just use the post # instead of quoting, which makes the thread lengthy.
8/ Vote from expert/admin on "registered member" about how they (registered member) perform well in the clubs (to get a strong participation on the MEMBER OF THE MONTH).
9/ No need to show the tagging people (to whom we tag) in the forum but every tagging people will get the notification. Fact: If the poster tag member x and member y, then x think that y may answer this question. Conversely y think (in the same way) that x will answer that question, probably. At the end of the day, the poster don't get any answer from the member x and y!
10/ There should have some specific category of experts like Quant expert (consist all quant expert), verbal expert (included all verbal expert), quant & Verbal expert (who contributes both in quant and verbal part simultaneously).
--> Reason: it's very hard to tag so many experts in a specific post or topic. The most important thing is that it seems very weird to tag so many experts in a row
11/ If the main topic or any comments is EDITED, then every newly made post, which carries this "main topic or any comments" must be changed automatically. If it is not changed/edited automatically,it makes confusion to Admin, Expert, Moderator, and so many registered members like me to understand which version is right and which version is wrong.
--> In 11a (screenshot), the question has been EDITED, but in 11b it has NOT been changed automatically. So, people may mistakenly discuss the part, which is not edited at all.
12/ Every member in the club should have identity (in his or her profile) with their "sex", because if it doesn't shown in his/her profile, then we mistakenly indicate a male guy with SHE", and vice-versa! If someone is male guy and any member of this club indicates him as "SHE/HER", it is insulting to someone for sure.
13/ The "age" should be shown in every member's profile, because different ages expert could deserve the word like "Sir" when someone tags those experts in any of his/her post.
14/ Why ranking in the club? If there is no competition with those ranking why it needs?
15/ General member should be rewarded some extra points for their contribution in the club (like being the "member of the week") so that s/he can beat his/her upper level member. Otherwise, the member who born today, s/he NEVER beat me
16/ The name of the member has to be automatically shown when we type a few alphabet of the member's name in the "message Box"-it is not possible to remember so many members' name in our head. Please see the screenshot#16a, 16b
17/ Sometimes internet does not work at the time of posting in the forum. So, we lost what we write as a post. We have to write the same thing again for posting in the forum. It will be better if the lost comment kept in the Draft (or, something like that).
18/ It is so hard to memorize so many peoples name in the club. So, there should have an automatic name correction when we type someone's name in the "search for author". There should have "search for author 2" so that I can find out "Asad TO BB" or, "BB TO Bunuel"'s post easily. Because, sometimes, we need to search for "Asad TO MartyTargetTestPrep" 's post (e.g.,). Please see the screenshot#18
19/ The rules for "5 points with 5 kudos" for 30 days period has to be extended, because someone could achieve more than 5 points in a specific day (after 30 days expiration).
20/ It is better if the posting time or any webinar time is shown with member's own GMT. Please see the screenshot#20
21/ "Most helpful reply" should be shown for double times so that member can see all the posts date to date. Suppose, an expert comments today (6th June, 2019) and so got so many kudos. This comment/post will be shown in the first place of the members' comment (like screenshot# 21), ultimately. And the poster (who ask this question to the expert) will be confused losing his/her post.
22/ The text, which is
copied in the gmatclub page, should be same as it is in the original text (
without editing the text-the
original one) when it is
pasted. Screenshot# 22b is when it is
edited. Screenshot# 22c is
after when it is pasted (the first one is
pasted without editing; the last one is
pasted after editing the original one). Screenshot# 22 is when math question is pasted
without editing.Note: Screenshot# 22,22b, and 22c attached in the next comment.
23/ More than 10 screenshot (better if it is unlimited
) should be allowed in
one specific post otherwise we need to take help from other post (like this one-the next post) for uploading more screenshot.
Lost so many hours in thinking & writing this 21 criteria in this Eid day. This color number has been updated on 9th June, 2019
