Three small requests for Patricia

[qwerty]

if your makeing changes what about a rateing system based on there reviews the more postive the better the rateing would be. and maybe be more girls would opt for reviews

[Prickly]

While I have your attention, I would like to ask for one more change to the search engine. Could you change GFE to FRENCH KISSING or add an extra button for this.
Some girls seem to think that GFE means a peck on the cheek and a query about how work went today. This is a real GFE as distinct from the fantasy GFE which we realy want.

Hear Hear!!! At the very least if they won't do it they shouldn't advertise it!
(I know, I know - Utopia).

And another thought. For those of us who have bothered to register, could it be possible to have something on our profile pages where escorts could 'confirm' or 'establish' the member. Anything to take some of the fear out of the whole business that's out there at the moment. (BTW Some of the dating and swinger sites have this feature). It probably won't be foolproof but it could reduce some of the hassle of trying to make an appointment with someone new. (And I'm not blaming the girls.)

Or maybe Patricia something in the private forum where escorts could verify clients.
If this means Advertisers have to register, then so be it. I think all who use this site should be registered whether they like it or not - for safety.

Sorry Patricia, but as everybody is in the mood for making suggestions, I thought I'd submit one aswell. I like to peruse the review database on occasions. If I search for a review author beginning with a certain letter, I get a nice list of authors in alphabetical order. However, if I search under escort name, I get a higgledy-piggledy list of all escorts beginning with that letter.

I imagine that it must be a simple proceedure to change this, so that all searches produce a list in alphabetical order.

While we are all making suggestions, can i again suggest a favourites system, similar to the friends section, where punters can add escorts to a short list instead of searching through all the adds listed, we can have our own short list...please!

Thanks Eps for bringing this suggestion back to the forefront again, I and many others in the past have suggested this and Patricia did say that they were working on it at the time, nothing worse than coming across a girl you like and then not being able to find her again or at least with a small amount of difficulty

A good idea but I wonder is it possible to save profile pages to a file on your computer?

Ok, to answer everyone here...

1) On the escort serch feature, could you split the escorts who allow reviews and have verified pics into two separate choices

Already you can opt to only show escorts with reviews and verified pics. I guess what you mean is, if you don't select that option, you'd like to see the results in two columns. To be honest, I don't see this as a major improvement to the search. Therefore, because we don't have the staff to get all these changes done quickly, I would put this on the back burner to be considered again at a later date when we don't have so many other more urgent changes to do.

2) On the review pages could you have a different colour button for reviewers who have a minimum of say 10 reviews/posts

We probably could do this easily enough. I don't personally see a major need to do it, but if lots of people think this would be great (speak up if you do) I can probably get this done shortly.

3) Could you put up escort details a week before they arrive and for a week after they leave. You can delete their phone number in these weeks so they cannot benefit at your expense but it would help those of us that need to plan and would help with reviews.

I can see why people would ask for this. The only problem with doing it is that it is a massive change to our systems. It would take a few months of work and in that few months we wouldn't be able to get any other technical work done, which is a problem as usually there are little things coming up all the time for our technical staff to fix. I am however considering it seriously because I do see that more than a few people would really like this change.

On the search feature would be an option to view "escorts expected within next week". These would be displayed as a separate group at the end of the search results. On their profiles, the tour start date would be displayed where the phone number usually shows.

This is an extention on above and dependent on it.

This I agree with and I think we could do quite fast. I've seen this problem the other way around too. I think it was Bigpaws who said recently he considered GFE to mean OWO was available. So, clearly there is some confusion about what GFE means. I'm going to create a seperate thread about Favourites now, with a view to updating them after feedback.

I don't entirely understand what is wanted here, so please explain more carefully and then I could consider.

Not sure about this. It is a good idea and I can see where you are coming from, but implementing it could be messy, plus would it be worth it... Do most escorts even take bookings via PM etc? I thought most escorts took bookings by phone mainly, so anything the client had on his profile here would be irrelevant? Escorts especially please correct me if I am wrong or you would favour this idea.

You would think it would be easy to fix this, but I fear it actually isn't. The same happens when you browse some reviews lists and I've seen it myself and said to my techs "Hey, can you make that list alphabetically ordered too please?" The problem is, all message board users have a name, so it is easy to order them by name. All advertised escorts have a name also, so it is easy to order them by name. However, when it comes to reviews, it is not just advertised escorts that can be reviewed... You can also review an escort not listed on our site that you met through an agency advertised on our site, and in this case the client provides the name of the escort. In short, this creates a problem where escort names are being pulled from two different sources, so name is not a common factor you can order the list by. Another issue is that currently if a lady changes her name her reviews stay with her (except in a few human error caes where our staff have inadvertantly allowed her a completely new profile). This is because her name it not hardcoded to our systems when a review is made, only her ID is. I think if we started hardcoding the names to our system which is what we'd have to do to be able to order the lists by name, if the escort then changed her name the reviews would be lost.

Oh bugger, this is so complicated I'm lost myself now, but it is a complex issue. I'll ask the techs again, but I fear there could be a problem doing this, as I already recall there are issues doing this.

Anon163 is quite right. We said we'd do this a good while ago, but every week since things have come up and it hsn't got done. I am going to make this a top priority now as I know we already agreed this was a good idea and should be done ASAP.

Thanks everyone for your feedback.

Thanks Pat.
Looking forward to these changes. especially the favourites..
Just an after thought, is it possible to have some way of saying whether the escort's profile is active. A lot of girls come and go and it would be a good way of keeping track of who is here and who is away?

so in other words ,its too difficult and im not going to bother

nbt

ps any news on verified pic situation

[punterminator]

Hi Pat.
Could I make one eensy weensie tiny suggestion based on the above???

Cool.. thanks.

Fire your tech staff. There is no way in HELL that making the change to the profiles to show the upcoming tours a week in advance requires months of work. Pat, this entire site could be coded from top to bottom using notepad in less than a month.

There is one hour's or two tops work involved in this. Take it from someone who does this sort of stuff for a living.
