Hello Dimers,

We have evolved from a very basic forum to where we are now… Its a interesting journey and we have learnt a lot from Dimers on what works and what does not work… https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

Lately we started with a major upgrade for Desidime where we are consolidating many of the features to provide the most valuable information to Dimers and visitors of the website…

We rolled out the stores and categories page in New design format where all information about a particular store (be it deal, coupon or a discussion thread) nicely tucked on one single page..
Example: https://www.desidime.com/stores/d...os
Category Example: https://www.desidime.com/categories/re...ge

We obviously rolled out Chat functionality which is still being worked on and will completely replace PM in next few months.

And now we are moving our efforts towards forums.. DesiDime forums is more than just deal sharing platform or plain vanilla forums… Its the most vibrant place on the internet where any shopaholic would love to be https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

I am attaching a screenshot of the future Forum thread (Or you can say deal)… Some of the key highlights would be Wiki (Currently Admin/Mod driven Wiki but would soon be more like a Community wiki so all top information is summarised which OP might have missed out on), ability to flag comments, ability to chat with dimers from same window (a better version), ability for the OP to upload images on Desidime server itself (no need to upload on imgur etc..), collapsing of quotes so its easier to read on mobile etc…

https://links.desidime.com?ref=forums&url=https://i.imgur.com/SEhHUOI.jpg

We would be bringing on many changes around how deal/coupon is submitted vs how a trade thread is started… We would be using this thread to keep posting regular updates so that way, all of us can together build a better community for the Dimers.

Comments are welcome and please restrict it to only discussion around the screenshot/features posted.

WTF man this new interface is sick.
To be honest it looks absolutely naked.
No idea why they keep forcing the changes on us.

And please for heaven’s sake put the Reply button at the bottom not on the top cos we go from top to bottom not from bottom to top.

Left side of the page looks ridiculously stupid.

Overall the new web interface looks like a desi widow.

On the positive side though this new design actually works great on the mobile web as I don’t like using the app and always prefer mobile browser and everything now working great on the small window.

It will be really wise if you give us the option to choose between the old and new interface.
I know you guys won’t but hoping against hope.

well… i barely logged IN after a week (evident from a recent snapshot taken on August 22, 2016 > archive.is/fs3mj so) so not really got to see much.
but overall for someone who always holds ‘evolution’ and ‘nature’ in high esteem. i think this evolution of Desidime too must serve a purpose.
/

to begin with
never in the past 3 years saw you directly taking tabulated feed-back like this > We’re working on new look for the site and would to hear your thoughts on it. Tell us here what you like the most, what you would like changed and anything else you’d like to share on the new design & look.
/
so that in itself it a welcome ‘new’ thing.
rest i will draft good bad essays on what i feel, later if i get the hang of things. get to use it enough for my rants to begin.

it does seem fresh https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif albeit with scope for refining/ fine tuning.
one thing that instantly catches the eye is that
the user stats box next to the comment has become a rectangle with extra width (as opposed to less width, more height earlier).
The expansion menu of become a fan/chat-PM is a nice thing.

but with the former (wider stats box) the risk of mobile user agony increasing is very high.
imagine honourable dimers Quoting each other in a loop and lack of real estate.. stretching the length of the scrollable page https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_sad.gif !

please do not take it as a rant.. Puhlease.. this was an observation ONLY. a ‘singular’ observation [of per line width of comments getting reduced, while viewing the desktop site interface (at resolution 1600×900)]
/
/
Thank you for time ! and Bravo to the effort/thought https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif




P.S. (please take it as me stating this in lighter vein only)

How do you think I’ll react to the following question? >>
Spock, how do you like the Aloe Vera leaf dish/sabji you ate ?
/
the point is:
the correct question ought to be such that it does not create bias and is NOT a loaded question https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_sad.gif !

How do you find the new look?

sorry, couldn’t help myself https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_sad.gif boley begair raha nahi gaya.

aur hain.. agar ache mood mei ho tou.. aloe vera ki sabji kabhi mat khana.. mood off hou jayega !
[though i eat aloe pulp/meat for health reasons.. that sabji i had to eat under force was NOT LIKED]

I thought there is a browser issue after I saw this new layout. I disliked it. Old layout was far better.

Few suggestions:
1. Ability to set alerts for a set of keywords, (say, ‘’RO Water Purifier") so that i receive an alert whenever any thread is posted matching the tags. – Helps clinching deals I’m looking to buy.
2. To be able to add threads / comments as ’’Watched", so that i can quickly get back to them later (esp from mobile app)

Have been using DD from mobile web only, of late. Found many welcome changes there. https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

Just logged into the desktop browser and oah! there are too many unwelcome changes. https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_sad.gif

@admin Firstly, when we try to tag you, your name comes at the end of the list when it should have been the first. Put yourself at the top first. It is better to prohibit users from using “admin” as the first five letters of the username and change all those which are already there. https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif

Now coming to the new UI on mobile web, really appreciate most of it. But clicking on the link against a karma log takes us to the first post of the thread and not to the exact post. It should be fixed. Now, the notification link takes us to the exact post. Thanks a ton for this change. It was a really a pain in the thumb to scroll all the way down to the post where we had been tagged. Just do the same to the karma log links too. As I had mentioned elsewhere before, giving karma has become a much lot easier from mobile web now.
Please make a separate tab for sticky threads in every forum just as it is on app. Saves a lot of thumb swiping. https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_wink.gif

And the desktop web, the reply button should be at the bottom of the thread as well. Do you expect us to get back to the top every time to hit it? https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif
The page buttons should be present both at the top and the bottom for easy navigation.
Ad Bot in between the posts! Naughty guys! Kick it back to the top or bottom. Really irritating!

Previously, we could get the permalink to any post from the time stamp above the username but now the link has been removed and merged with post. How to get it now? https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_confused.gif

@admin ji, see how you tiny you look. Why is there a lot of space in that box when it could be divided into two (vertically) with the left half containing the avatar and username in decent sizes and the right half containing the user stats one by one from top to bottom? https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_biggrin.gif

@Nigel You can conduct a poll for deciding deal baba corner or previous announcement bar https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_wink.gif
If u don’t mind then i can create new thread with ur permission containing following content as main post https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif


Hi Great Desidimers,
You liked new deal baba corner or previous deal baba announcement banner ?

My vote goes for previous banner because we don’t need to mouse over to any section to see the latest updates & also new baba corner is very irritating because we need to dismiss it everyone time when we want to create new quick reply https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_rolleyes.gif

^^ WTH! The post area is so big but the image gets resized to a corner! https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_eek.gif

Also the back-to-top button goes on and off intermittently. Fix it.

@admin Tons of Thanks for the auto-restriction feature of chain quotes. Now I need not waste time in selection, deletion and endless scrolling.

@admin Just noticed the Deal Wiki section on Hot Deals thread. Excellent! Trust me, with the right people getting access to edit the Wiki, it would turn out to be the most important feature release since I joined DD!

Don’t know how we did without it for so long. I remember using Deal Wiki on FatWallet more than 7-8 years ago. CC @Magus

Right now, it’s available only for promoted deals. Guess it’s updated by the mods/admins while promoting the deal. Or may be it is automated to take relevant info from the post. https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif

Yes, seems that way.

But I hope that @admin has plans to give Wiki edit access to experienced and active veterans like you, @viSH, @Sudhakaran, @Zubies, i.e. users who have developed instincts about the quality of a deal and can foresee the questions that newbies usually have.
