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.

Done. Our forum should be available on Tapatalk now.

I found that there were some issues with Tapatalk with posting messages and also with PM's (load way too long).
The post messages displayed an error....

that happened to me too. It shows the error but the message still gets posted. I ended up re-posting the same message 3 times (after 3 errors).

PM's working fine on my iPhone.

Yes, the message gets posted, so after the error, just go back while we try to fix it or figure out what is causing it...

I have this wild idea...
The concept is borrowed from another board (not evenly closely related to gmat... it was a tech forum)
The gist is:
members who have scored +760 and who have time to spare can offer to act as mentors. It would be a one on one thing.
e.g. John Doe has scored 770 on his GMAT and he is confident that he can help others score +760 as well. So he applies for the position of mentorship. The forum mods review his application and based on John's track record, the mods grant him the "GMAT Club Mentor" status.

Then Sally Ride comes along and she has a score of 680 on her GMAT. She isn't happy with her score and wants to score a +760. Sadly she doesn't know how! So she requests for a mentor. John Doe doesn't have any student under him. Thus, John Doe is assigned as Sally Ride's mentor.

The student-mentor will have a separate forum which will be password protected and completely invisible to everyone else. The mentor can then provide one on one guidance and help the pupil get the desired score.

Of course, there would be eligibility criteria such as:
Members with a minimum number of 200 posts and/or 50 kudos can ask for a mentor
Mentorship can be availed only for a period of one month
Members must have a minimum score (say 650) on actual GMAT or any recognized prep cat.

and perhaps rewards too...
e.g. If Sally scores a 760 on GMAT, John is rewarded with a medal or something (it can be displayed in the place where the GMAT Club Test Logo appears)

What do you think of this?

I like the idea... not sure how to implement/do it though. Anyone else has thoughts?

bb,
Do you think this can be discussed in a separate thread? It might go unnoticed by majority of the members if it remains a post in this thread. I think it's a killer idea and it has a lot of potential!

A separate thread would gather more attention and generate more responses. Could be made a sticky even.

A forum section where people can sell/rent school related items (cars/furniture) other than GMAT books?

I.e. while I go to school in the East Coast, my house that is close to UCLA is available to rent for at least 2 years.
Where would I put this post? Off topic? Can I advertise it in the UCLA page?
