Hello Every Body,
I've seen the other subject and it turns to positions characters and so while I would suggest some little enhancement to the program which in my opinion can make the experience better. Let me categorize them as following :
Simple and Speed Development :
1° : Is it possible to add a check box in the partner search to exclude ignored people, this should be as easy as adding a small where clause
2° : Is it possible to add a menu bar button "On-line Friends" next to messages and relationships ones which shows all on-line friends in the search result area categorized (Spouse first, lovers second, friends third). This is better than click on show my self then spouse then show my self then lovers then show my self then friends.
3° : Is it possible to use wild cards in search area and especially for the name. We don't always remember the exact name for example "Catherine691_". This shouldn't be a performance issue if the database is indexed for that column.
4° : Is it possible in the history chat window to have a "jump to the top" arrow the same as the end one
5° : Is it possible to add "First Page" the same as "Previous Page" and "Next Page" but on top of the screen next to the text "Search Result"
Simple but Need more Development :
1° : Better off-line messages management. At this point we can only see the in-box messages while the same message should be at the out-box of the sender. We can imagine once the sender or receiver deletes the message its hidden for him and when the second deletes it the message is definitely deleted from DB. We can then imagine a bigger screen listing the user with whom we have messages and once clicking on the name of the user we can see all the communications. You can imagine automatically deleting messages older than 60 days...
Complex :
1° : The chat area is really uncomfortable. Many partners are asking to go out on YM or MSN and this is not good for Achat. There is enough space on the screen to imagine a tab management chat. Each chat history of a user is shown on a tab. This may lead you to change the actual DB structure but it will really bring neat functionalities enhancing user experience. This tab even closed, once a new message is sent it shows all the session history. We can this way add the popular request of clearing a partner chat history.
more suggestions are coming soon
Thanks for reading me
