Doesn’t HTML5 sort of cover that, in terms of app and website… I do remember dabbling with ‘make your own app’ apps and they looked like an app but could be accessed by a browser… presumably the tech has moved on since then" It depends on whether you're going to write a native app (compiled code that downloads to the phone and runs on it - and you have to maintain two separate distros for Ios and Android) or a hybrid that basically leverages the phone's browser to look like an app, but sort of actually be a webpage. HTML5 is still just HTML. I imagine this is the path they'd probably go down, in which case it wouldn't be radically different to what they do now. Even so, to overhaul the site, introduce snazzy new features, and make it look modern, is a huge job (my current company is struggling with this at the moment). Fab will need additional developers on top of what they already have for maintenance and ongoing development (such as it is). That's a big cost for a redevelopment that will have to be QA'ed and tested. | |||

"Agreed, there will come a point where another app overcomes fab’s best feature. Which is its name! I’d also like to add that moving threads from one forum to another is rather annoying by admin. This thread is a “people opinion” thread, so why has it been moved to fab feedback thread that no one looks at? I can only assume that the admins want as little talk of updates as possible?" It's feedback on Fab so the fab feedback forum is appropriate | |||

As you've nicely put it does this include the site development or staff involved, must be a valid reason why it's happened "It’s not particularly difficult to implement, and as we pay for the site, I think it’s ok for everyone to have a say or opinion. As I said, the subject neither puts us up nor down but there’s clearly divided opinion so making it optional just lets the users decide. | |||

"The site is just about usable, though I get the feeling the owners inherited the codebase, and the developer only touches it when they really, really have to, as most of it will be not understood and like most old code, will break easily and be held together with sellotape and glue

"I don’t want an app or all this fancy stuff that makes it look like every other social media site out there - I actually like the basic nature of the site. It works and it does what it says in the tin. If you are struggling to get meets on here now then a new lick of paint isn’t going to solve the issue. If you are not struggling for meets then why change it?" This. ^^^ | |||

"The whole reason fab is so successful is because it doesn't try and cater for every edge case and scenario to make it perfect. For example, some of the most fun meets we've had have been with brand new unverified, unpaid profiles The fact the website just works with no funky transitions, or process flows or anything "modern and appy" makes it so nice to use. If you want the stuff you're talking about go to the other sites which have recently sprung up, but our experience of those is that they are too focused on making a profit out of it and the costs are very unappealing, especially to say single men who make this site what it is. Small incremental changes would be appreciated but to suggest that a whole site redesign could be done and keep the same price and the same constantly changing members isn't realistic. Honestly, fab works perfectly how it is. "   | |||

"Who else would like to see a bit of an overhaul with fab? Basically nothing has changed in decades! We started this in site feedback forum but figured we’d like to see others opinions so reposted here! Some things we’d like to see: NATIVE APP: Make the site a native app to allow better messaging, photo uploads, notifications and all sorts of other benefits. Keep it available on web too though! COUPLES PROFILES: Allow a couples profile to be made of two solo profiles (link them) for those that also play solo or are looking for different things. Also in messages, sign off the message with who sent it from the couple (like any other messaging service) MESSAGES: Overhaul this totally. Make it an app (the whole site) that still works on a computer but allows better messaging. Allow groups, notifications, tagging, emoji (real ones not the limited number of bb ones we have now). ALSO MESSAGES: Allow us to tap the last contact message at the top of a profile to go directly into that thread so we don’t have control through hundreds of messages to find it! That’s a start, there’s more we’d like to see too but would love to hear other’s feedback?" I would, I’d love to help design and build a web app for fab x | |||

It would be interesting to see what your ideas are, to fix those things "There's ways of addressing them, just needs some user feedback on if they are actually issues (not just my experience) and then some brainstorming and thought around how to improve/tackle them. I've got ideas but like I say, people may not think these are issues anyway so you shouldnt just go off one persons views, but I do see a lot of comments along these lines... | |||

" other apps and sites which allow this (I don’t want to name the two I can think of) does it and it’s just spammed by guys. It’d be tenfold on here. That said, letting friends do so may be an option that’d be a good compromise. But it’d pull eyes out of forums/chat and make them quieter. On sites where sharing media like that is more the focus it’d work. | |||

"I think this thread basically sums up the problem in a nutshell. For every user that likes it as it is there's a user who would prefer it to be modernised. That said the changes being suggested now are against the backdrop of a system that hasn't changed in many years. If those changes had been incrementally introduced the users that like the retro feel will have moved along at a steady pace and those that like a modern interface would have that. I can't see Fab changing; there have been slight functional changes requested for years that haven't been implemented. Development takes time and money. At a guess to implement a new web app would take between 6-12 months. Why would you make that investment if half the users don't want to see it changed? For those that want something different why are you on this site; what does it offer that more modern sites/apps don't? It’s not just that half the users don’t want the site changed. You can bet your life that most who do want changes wouldn’t want to actually have to pay more to get them. " | |||

We wouldn't describe people as fake if the conversation didn't lead to a meet. I would say people are exercising their right not to carry on with the chat.

Be careful to think of all angles... " But the reason they get lost in the deluge is that the inbox only sorts by date received. So whilst the welcome change of a couple of years ago to show only the most recent email from a sender, it doesn't stop someone sending a new email which moves them up to the top of the inbox, and a mail sent 5 hours ago might be off the visible screen. If people couldn't resend until 7 days had elapsed, this issue would disappear. | |||

We're talking of folk we discover posting fake photos from the Internet, those who ghost us or suddenly leave site when it gets to the point of arranging a meet or on the day itself (one couple did it THREE TIMES), those who claim great interest then that they have no time to meet or keep moving the goalposts backwards, 'couples' who we discover are dishonest single guys....most 9f these after weeks of chat and photo/face pic swapping so hell yes timewasters !!. We first joined fab ten years ago, it was certainly no where near as bad as it is now. | |||

"Anything to stop the sea of fakes and timewasters on here now !!, it has become ridiculous." The site cannot stop people pretending to be something they aren't. At least it's too basic for bots. Personally, I think that the site is generally fine as it is. It would help if new members were directed to the FAQs before they are able to use the site and if there was a requirement for a profile photo and minimum characters for a profile. Being able to rearrange photos would probably be the best feature. | |||

"To be honest most of the ideas mentioned just sound like pointless nonsense for geeks. The site is easy to use and cheap. Therein lies it’s success." You’re right. And I’m a geek (work in the industry) and the site is dated, and every aspect I could point to lots of it and suggest upgrades. But it works. It’s easy to use. Its strength is in its simplicity. It’s why Craigslist has never strayed far from its origins. You can modernise it as much as possible but they risk alienating established users who are familiar with it. | |||

How does correcting grammar or spelling mistakes fundamentally change the meaning of a post? Have you seen the state of some of the posts in here? Sometimes you can't make out what the person is saying. In other forums when there's been an edit in the post it will say "post edit on date and time" editing a post won't change the meaning of a post unless you completely delete the post and write something different. | |||

In which case they could allow deletion of your post at anytime but only allow editing for a limited time such as 10 minutes. This will allow people to correct any mistakes rather than the current system where you have to delete the entire post and start again. | |||

"Ok. So supposing a complete overhaul of the site with loads of improvements and the obvious costs involved meant no more free membership, and maybe a 50% increase on current prices; ( given that prices have barely changed in years). How many are up for that ?" People can always stay on a free site but those that wish to pay for, hopefully, a better user experience will probably pay. | |||

"Verification process Genuinely believe everyone joining should have to site verify. You can give them a window of access like being able to view profiles and news feed but not being able to message or post until they complete the site Verification. This would cut the amount of fakes attempting to join, it would also show newcomers its worth getting verified. On this, implement a re-verification process. We find so many profiles that haven't been verified by users in year, I think the worst we've seen local is 8 years! We call them dead profiles as the couple is clearly no longer swinging or potentially together. Having to complete an annual site Verification would get rid of the fakes and time wasters in a few years. " This is precisely the type of forum post that needs the “like” or similar button! I’d say that couples should have two single accounts with a verification of them both together yearly if not verified by others in that time? | |||

"Can we have Yorkshire as a area rather than just east Midlands or North East " Could do with splitting Wales into South Wales and North Wales regions…its quicker to get to London than it is to travel between the two! | |||

Lot of good points there, but verification by photo and/or other users needs to be complemented by other scrutiny. Have met some fab ppl who haven't had verifications of any type, and there are verified timewasters, etc. Given you can filter out the unverified anyway, maybe an additional filter to apply a time limit on verifications would help complete the functions you suggest, e.g. only show those verified by meet within one year. tc Cx | |||

We are not site verified but have in person verifications from when we go to clubs. We are 'real'. We have no intention of arranging meets. We go to clubs and meet 'real' people. If they are on FAB great; if not, doesn't really matter to us per se. If we then communicate on here we already know them so we don't need the site to tell us they are genuine or not. Not everyone uses the site the same way as every else. | |||

But a filter on last verification could stop that tide too. We have blocked unverified accounts from messaging us which stems the flow a bit. | |||

Not everyone uses the site the same way as every else. " Understandable we do both. We meet from fab and at clubs. The site Verification just says that this hot single lady you're messaging is in fact who they say they are and not Barry 70 from Ipswich posting his collection of photos. Going back to accounts that haven't been verified in years it would stop them posting photos of their partner without their consent. Or show that couple or female are both still active on fab together, but have taken a long break from swinging/meeting. Again just stops fakes from thriving. The easy solution is some form of re verification, until that's completed they go back on an admin block. Profile hidden from searches and only able to view the site. It would encourage new users to the site and old users to remain on the site. Just that little green flag of "hey this user is genuine" | |||
