What's Next for the Beta IMC?

What's Next for the Beta IMC?


We've had the Beta IMC up for about a month now. During that time we've been talking to you and collecting your feedback.

The plan now is to fix and tweak the IMC based on all your feedback. Once the IMC is cleaned up, we'll release it as a replacement to the current IMC tool. This will probably be sometime mid-summerish. Until then, you'll have access to both the old and beta IMC.

Here's some fun stats:

Average number of IMC messages sent in a day = 1,614,852
Number of group chats per day during beta test = 8294
Average messages sent per regular IMC session = 136
Average messages per new group chat session = 190
75% like the new IMC
53% will use the Group Chat feature

Here's what we are fixing based on your feedback

Missing features from the old IMC that we are fixing:


- One-click Mute capability has disappeared. You are forced to use the slider.
- Lacks the 1 line introduction description when you select a member.
- No audible ding when a page comes in
- Difficult to see if it is a male, female or couple. Gender should be color coded
- Filtering is difficult to find. You first have to sort. Can’t figure out how to unsort
- Can't select which camera input you want to broadcast from
- You can't see location of members when viewing your broadcasters

Bugs we are fixing:

- Pages not going through (variety of reasons)
- Kicked off, session ending/crashing (should be better right now)
- Repeating IM headlines. If you first IM has a headline of "do you want to be serviced" many are complaining that pages after that have the same “do you want to be serviced headline. You only see the real message when you open it. Seems to happen after you accept a page
- Banning or blocking a member doesn't work during that session. Doesn't boot them from the broadcast.
- Mac issues
- Chat doesn't expand in full screen
- Broadcasters frequently loose chats (don't see new chats coming in).
- Chats continue after the broadcaster stops broadcasting
- For standards - Get a message that they can't open a new webcam view, because they have already opened one, even if they don't have one opened. Usually a minute delay from closing a window, to being able to open a new one.
- Webcam picture quality is fuzzy
- If you accept pages from another language (say French), your page reloads as the French version of the site

Changes you would like to see:

- Prefer gender icons to 'M/F/C' text
- Men want to stop men from viewing them
- It doesn't remembers my saved preferences/filters
- In full screen, you lose about 1/3rd of the screen. it doesn't open in correct proportions.
- Should be able to press Enter to send a message
- I would like on the IMC to be able to see when the other person is typing.
- When I click on a user, I don't want to have to click the "X" to close the page/profile window. I want to be able to click off the profile and have it close.
- If you page a member who is viewing you, they only get the page if they are broadcasting too. If not, they will never know you paged them or tried to communicate. The page should go into the notification bar.

Hiya,

yeah I have enjoyed the new IMC, I have never used it successfully since I joined this site and that is now changing.

I have been affected by some of the issues... the conversation has been dropped and I have thought that the other person has gone silent on me, when in fact, I subsequently found out, they did not get my last message (or I did not get theirs) and that is one of the reasons that I would like to know when the other person is typing... then I know that they are replying and I can wait... also if I have said something and they are not replying I know then that I have to say something else if I want to the conversation to roll on...

...at the moment it is a guessing game as to whether they are responding and taking a little time, pissed off altogether, or whether the IMC has dropped... so anything to fix that situation would be greatly appreciated.

Glad to hear it wasn't just me. I thought my eyesight was gone. Someone told me that's what happens when you get old, and since it's my B'day tomorrow, I thought it was my time.

... Also if I am on the IMC for a long time, i.e. I have it running in the background for a while, sometimes when I go back to it, it appears to have dropped my real location and set ny default location as Palo Alto CA.... just thought that I would mention.

here are some other issues that i have seen:
the fonts are too small ~ glad you are using sans-serif fonts, however
cant connect my cam ~ i can in the older IMC
the filter is not saved ~ it always reverts to some default
the look seems 'blocky' less inviting

i set the filter to just display women, then i use the search to find a specific person.
then, i clear their name from the search and press return ~ the list now shows men,
women, couples, etc. yet the filter says women (only).

this is cookie872, I am having problems when I look at a man's profile, if I choose personality, it shows mine and who I would be compatible with, not the profile personality of the man I am viewing, can you repair please.

I am unable to view any videos on IMC at all. It just says connecting and stays like that. Any resolution on this?
