What should NamePros add?

Good morning!

NamePros is working on a lot of new and exciting features, and many of them are thanks to member suggestions in our Comments and Feedback section.

We'd love to hear even more! What else would you like us to add for you?

All suggestions are welcome, from small and simple changes to big and complex features!

Please post below, or submit your suggestions privately.

Let us know what you'd like us to build!

 

[Eric Lyon]

Thanks for the detailed suggestions and helpful examples. We're looking to improve these things and your suggestions will help us achieve that.

Even though the thread topic is "what should NamePros add", I just realized that there is something that should probably removed: "new posts" widget (block) on the right side.

It is full of forsale offers since it is what most new posts are about, however:

- any member that has interest in reviewing new domain forsale offers will not find it useful - too small and with quick updates. He will review appropriate forum instead

- any member that has no interest in reviewing new domain offers does not need to see this widget at all.

Accordingly, it appears that this block/widget serves no purpose, but occupies valuable space which could be used for something better

Love to see "signatures" when on mobile.

Yes. I agree with this idea. Hope NP can make it

Ever considered implementing the Live Update indicator add on by Chris D?

 

[PNW]

Add monthly / weekly Namepros marketplace sales report that is ongoing throughout the year.
Based on anonymous sales reporting or ?
Avg sales $ / volume, top / low, etc.

Would give a good idea of the health of the reseller market at least. Easy to implement.
Lets look at the numbers here.

Thanks for sharing. We've added the faster polling ourselves, but we don't update the title or favicon yet, which has been suggested a couple times. We'll likely add it eventually.

We've been working on this (trying to partner with sales history companies, developers, etc.), but everyone so far thinks the task is too difficult. We may have to do it ourselves in the future.

how about creating seperate forum .. where people create posts about offers they receive for a domain.. with or without poll (take or leave).. but preferably with compulsory poll (just take or leave options).. and discuss the name if they want with others.. in each post.. I think this can be useful not only for people who are sellers of those names.. to get opinions.. etc.. but also to all others who try to valuate domains.. get ideas.. etc.. win win situation i think

a bit alogn the lines of my post here .. but have a seperate forum for it..

https://www.namepros.com/threads/now-capital-offer-take-or-leave.1087287/

either in the FREEE RESSOURCES section.. or under DISCUISSION. latter being better imo.

what u think @NamePros

I found this post useful to me.. and I am sure others did too!

Updates:

• Thread created for this purpose.
• Plus, a prefix has been created for these types of threads.

Has there ever been an ask for putting a limit on the amount of Likes/Thanks (mainly Likes) that can be given out in a rolling period?

I don't know about others but it gets kind of annoying when the same group of people seem to Like every post made in a thread (especially in Introduction topics) just for the sake of it. Maybe it's a cultural thing, I don't know... but if there was a limit on the amount that could be given out then this would make people more likely to actually use them the way they are meant to be. Especially when they are used in the calculating of member criteria.

Very good suggestion indeed, worth persueing.

It's likely this has been suggested, but I don't have time to read the previous 9 pages, and a search didn't turn up anything.

What would really be revolutionary would be to have the ability to Hide specific threads you don't care to see a hundred times. This would be particularly relevant in the marketplace - and I believe it would even boost sales, as buyers would be more inclined to check in frequently for new deals if they don't have to wade through pages full of sales they've already seen and aren't interested in. As anyone who shops there frequently knows, it's a real chore to keep tabs on the actual NEW sales threads, when piled up among the old threads.

If you see something you like, simply watch the thread, or do nothing. If you don't see anything interesting, hide it. This would make it a much more pleasant experience for buyers, and sellers can still bump the thread to their hearts content for those who don't care enough to hide it.

Sellers could argue that it cuts their exposure, but I think it's very fair for uninterested viewers to be able to hide it without seeing it every day for the next 6 months. In exchange, I really do think buyer activity would increase. A lot of buyers are too busy to constantly be seeing the same offers over and over and over again, and would check the marketplace more frequently if they know that they can get right to the good stuff.

Win-win, right?

We plan to do this in the near future:

Thanks for sharing.

In the e-mail notifications (and possibly the notifications/alerts), can we get a mention of the forum/sub-forum that the thread was posted in? For new threads perhaps...

Likes in chat!

 

[BRANDERX]

the option to click interested / not interested in the buyer request section. when posting dm sent.

instead of people writing:

if i dont answer within 48 hrs/ 1 week / 1 year then im not interested.

 

[BRANDERX]

instead of 'member since' & 'joined' , a star for every year of membership.

1 yr 1 star

15 yrs 15 stars

smaller stars or dots

 

[Sami Ketolainen]

To help domain name sellers, I would suggest this feature:

So, perhaps everyone knows that you can add upto 10 tags to your post. It would be great of you could see how popular these specific tags are, example how many searches that particular tag get's or how many times that tag is used. With this way, people has easy way to pick best tags for their posts and perhaps find their targeted audience.

Thanks
Sami

I have a couple questions:

• First of all, is there some kind of bugtrack to have an overview of requests (dupe requests are bound to be made) ?
• In the past, in the former version of the forum (Vbulletin), you got a warning when trying to bump an old thread (no posts made for 180 days). Sometimes newbies (or absent-minded people) reawaken 10-year old threads for no good reason.
• Also, with Vbulletin you could download your PMs to a text file. The feature doesn't seem to exist nowadays.
