@BashfulLoner there are a lot of post that I would have thumbs up-d if I had the option!
@TouchIsTLC as a former troll in my youth, I would say a questionnaire wouldn't have stopped me. In fact, that just gave me more ammo with ruffling feathers.
@Mark: Whoo, I am easily distracted. Thanks for being willing to let me rearrange my pictures! I do like things to be tidy....
Just noticed this. I was deleting unwanted conversations in my Sent messages folder. Whenever you delete one, it automatically switches you away from Sent messages back to the Inbox. It's quite annoying.
The new booking functionality seems to work really well. Just a couple of things:
-- the reminder message "Booking Reminder: You have a booking with X on Friday" is displayed even if the booking is several weeks away; it should show the date as well
-- there doesn't seem to be a way to book the same person twice (a minor thing, since you can wait until after the first session to book the second one)
This has probably been suggested in the first 35 pages, but it would be nice to be able to put captions on the pictures in our profile. Definitely not a criticism - just a "would be nice". @Mark, thanks for a great site!
@respectful Indeed. The booking reminder will now show a date when more than a week in advance. And regarding your other point, it's like that in order to allow for post-session actions (karma, extend session, retroactively cancel). However, what you're saying is definitely ideal and so I'm going to look at that again.
@loveandsky I would definitely consider that a trivial 'nice to have' feature but I'll note it down in the roadmap to be reviewed at a later date. And thank you.
My profile was inactive for almost a year. That doesn't mean that inactive profile will never come back. I was on this website by an accidental Google search. So I think inactive profile are not causing any harm. You also have option to filter users with last activity.
@Mark is there a way to book someone for 1.5 hours (which I actually do sometimes)? The booking system seems to only allow integers.
Not at the moment, for now the Pro will need to manually adjust the price. @SoulcuddlerZ recently mentioned this to me as well. The vast majority of bookings are hourly but I'll probably need to look over this again.
I'd kind of like to see a different cuddle image on the sign up page. The one they have now just looks a little weird to me.
Question - is there a way to "follow" people so you can track their comments in the forums without just looking at every post daily?
@TouchIsTLC: Well, you can go to this customizable link: https://www.cuddlecomfort.com/forum/profile/comments/[insert username here], but I haven't run across a subscription feature yet.
Edit: That would be nice, especially since clicking the "More Comments" button on the page linked above takes you to the second page of your own forum comments. You can only get the thirty most recent comments of anybody else. And having to type out the link every time can be a pain.
When you block someone you should not be able to see their comments in forums.
@JaeHuggles Good point.
@JaeHuggles - I imagine that would slow down the process quite a bit. Some forum threads have hundreds of posts. The system would have to check every post to see if it was from someone you blocked. And in most cases, it would be a waste of resources because there would be no-one you blocked, unless you are in the habit of blocking lots of people.
@UKGuy Is it that difficult? That's how Facebook works... ?
I confess that I didn't go through all 37 pages of this thread to see if my suggestion had already been made. If it has, please disregard. I personally would ❤️ a ? button so we could go right back to where we were,. rather than go back to the forums, choose the forum, choose the thread, and get back to the place we were.
@ubergigglefritz - I never said it was difficult, I said it would eat up processing resources. No-one knows quite how many servers Facebook has but the best estimate I could find was around 200,000. I doubt this website has anywhere near that many. In fact you could probably run it on one or two.
I usually book my appointments in 1.5hr or 2.5hr or 3.5hr. Dont ask me why ;-) .. I could not find a way to select that in appoinyments, as I saw all in full hour incremental. Might be nice to have half hour incremental in bookings. Not a big deal but a thought/suggestion for future backlog
I can't upload any photos with forum posts. I get some message about 'returned a 0 code'.
I think the website can be improved if the cuddler has regular weekly days and hours listed in a section. If a client books the cuddler that time slot just says filled (the client CC name not shown). Also if the cuddler is on vacation for those days to just list that. The purpose is that client won't have to guess or waste time if that cuddler doesn't respond when that client can pick someone else or can pick an available time slot
I, also, can't upload any photos with forum posts. I get some message about 'returned a 0 code'.
I've seen the same message as @missadventurous and @ukguy today.
Have the settings for videos, resource links or pictures recently changed?
What exactly is a zero code?
Thanks, looking into this. The functionality connects with a third-party (Imgur.com) so this might not be a quick fix.
Some might think this too creeper-ish, but I'd like to see the summary details of Visitors (as in the option under Cuddler Search) and the link within a forum comment (or search?) they clicked on. To see what generates traffic.
Explain what the "Activity" link and page are all about.
Please reconsider allowing female professionals to have a monthly membership instead of per session. This loosens the strict rule of keeping people and communication on this site. It's how cuddlist works and is SO much easier. My personal website has my calendar, my own custom inquiry form, and contacting me through my business email or texting is way more reliable for clients and easier for me to keep organized myself (ie- higher client satisfaction and success rate). My inquiry form includes how people found me, so I always know who found me through the cuddlist site. For those of us who are more serious in this business, it's really a headache having clients inquiring on multiple different websites. You really want to keep the serious professionals on here, with all the complaints from people about how pros are non responsive, flaky, etc. This also significantly loosens your responsibility to make this site do things that people can more easily do themselves or on a personal wix site (or other website builder). I want to stay in this community, but your format encourages me to build and develop other avenues of finding people in need, because it's such a headache and time suck to be forced to keep people on here. Anyway, you do you. I'm just being honest in that this format encourages professionals like me to go elsewhere eventually and I don't think the people on here seeking a professional session want that ? If you want the site to be taken seriously, you want the big name professionals here to help build that reputation (I'm not saying I am yet, but I am saying I know many of them and most aren't on cuddle comfort ?).
@ubergigglefritz As I read it, you like having a personal website for managing and operating your cuddle business. You operate within multiple cuddle communities (such as CuddleComfort); that is, your customer base is inter-cuddle-community. The subtext I read is the desire for "international" trade, so you can consolidate your multi-community-based cuddle operations. You have apparently collected the tools and materials to build a personal "cuddle business" website. It must be hosted somewhere - in a web-community. Is this a service that you would like to see CC offer or enable? Are you asking to bring your "cuddle business" model to CC and have it replicated for other Pro's to manage their businesses? Or, are you simply looking to advertise on CC, offering "vacation cuddles in a foreign land"? Where do you want to call "home"? Which community do you want to benefit and develop most from your tax dollars?
@Rexagon Everyone wants something different. I would rather do as works best for me on my own site / email system than try to mold cuddle comfort to be exactly what works for me, which won't work for others. The monthly allows people to forward people to their own preferred method of communicating without any recourse, IF THEY WISH.
I love being a part of this community, participating in the forums, and supporting people across the platform. It's just a headache to run a business from. I'm always honest with businesses I work with and so I'm just being honest in that this is something that discourages me from helping develop this community. Not everyone will agree with me, but I regularly say things that many others are thinking but don't want to say, so I am fairly certain I am not alone. I am honest to a fault... ?
A lot of people are on here wanting free cuddles, but people also come searching for a professional, so I would think it important information to know what might be driving quality professionals away from the site... ?
@ubergigglefritz I understand the desire for "the system" to be flexible enough to satisfy the unique needs of every individual. I wonder what technologies might enable or expand integration of this platform to others. Specifically, you mention email communications. What if I were able to contact you, directly, as ubergigglefritz@cuddlecomfort.com and have it forwarded to your external business, and your replies would be to rexagon@cuddlecomfort.com? What if you could have an actual business presence, a CuddleComfort wrapper around your linked website/inquiry form, that keeps CC in the loop? As a client, I'd rather support Pro-cuddlers within my community, than in the back alley.
