The "Currently Viewing" Feature

[buckabucka]

Agree. Currently viewing and the Reviews on the right side aren't needed in such a large spot.
The right side is way too busy. And as someone else mentioned, there is so much to navigate through whereas the last BYC was more user friendly even though this one has more 'toys" to play with.

I also don't like all the busy stuff on the right. I don't understand the reviews at all. Are these just random people writing reviews of their birds? I don't ever remember reading reviews on the old site. Are they coming from the breeds section or something? If I write a review of my bird will it appear over there? It does not seem like bird reviews need prime space (just my opinion).

Yes! If the "Currently Viewing" and "Reviews" Sections on the sidebar would go away even for non-paying members I would be ecstatic! I don't mind the couple of ads there but these two just irk me.

So, do paying members not see the reviews?

I have to admit I also liked the anonimity of looking at whatever forums I wanted without people knowing. But oh well, I suppose it might come in handy for me to see what Spock actually browses through when he's on here lurking.

Rob, can you answer.. Can that option be taken off the forum?

To KathyMO..I don't see "go invisible" in profile. I'm a golden feather member but guess we don't have this option yet.

He replied this already:

We're working on re-creating the GFM / PPM benefits page. For now, going "invisible" is a feature just for PPM's.

Also people...If you "follow a member" they will know.

What about block feature..?
If you block someone .. you cant see their posts anymore.. but can they see yours??

What reasons would someone "follow" a particular person anyways..
