Since it was suggested to post it here as well, I will do so:

I think it would be great to have an option to add picture descriptions of some sort in the Gallery!
Stuff like the names of „who is who“, the date when the picture Was taken or the event where it was taken...

Suggestion for Profiles:

Would it be possible to create an option to list more then one Affiliation?

Myslef/my club club for example is a member of:
-Team Stapel (My Instructors Team) and through him Team Robin Gracie
-The Reyson Gracie Association
-BJJ Globetrotters
-The German governing Sport-Associations for BJJ: SHJJV (Schleswig-Holsteinischer Ju-Jutsu Verband e.V.) on State Level and DJJV (Deutscher Ju-Jutsu Verband e.V.) on National Level

I think this would be a useful option to get members connected that train in various associations...

Also, maybe a corresponding mobile app - something optimized for smartphone user experience.
I hope this one happens.

How about having an indicator next to topics you are already subscribed to on the Forum page?

Sure I can do that. But I also thought of having a forum section just for your subscribed topics. One of the two it will be :)

Personally, I'd prefer an indicator (or both) so that we can also easily see the topics that we're not subscribed to.

Now that we have several 'like' options it would be nice to be able to remove them again if you pushed the wrong one by accident
Did I press the poop like on purpose or not? You can think about that :D

Anybody thinking about an APP?
Not happening anytime soon; it would be a huge and expensive project. I'll much rather put my time into improving the site and keep building it to be mobile browser friendly, it's a better investment for now :)

I can ask for some friends (bjj friends) that make this App here. Maybe try to make it to help.
Its a good project and some guys could help this. I will try asking :)

Christian, just wondering if this was still on your list. With the number of current forum topics, it sure would make it easier. Thanks.

Not given up on that yet :) The database query for the forum is already kind of complex, so I've just been pushing a bit down the list. I'll do it one day where I had a strong coffee and a good night's sleep haha

I completely understand. I'm sure this whole Belt Checker project of yours has blown up a lot faster than you imagined. Thank you for all your efforts.

Currently if i were to send a message to someone, i can only send it to ONE recipient at a time. I would like to be able to send to multiple recipients. My idea is that if say i get the majority of my gym/academy to sign up to the site, i would like to be able to send out a message to everyone at once, for instance "Sunday there will be an open mat from 6-8" or something along those lines to my teammates. I think enabling the site to be a good communication platform for teammates as well as a verification site would give it an added appeal in the "usefulness." department. I think many of us who were verified early on, are in the "now what do we do, and what's the point?" phase. I love the photo stream addition, i think the next step for the platform would be improving the messenger function to create more fluid/effective communication.

Basically, now that you've suckered us into joining the site, we need a good reason to keep coming back. The photo stream option was an excellent start.

Any plans to add verification for red belts? I can think of at least one who may be willing to sign up.
All belts are already in the system, including red / 9th degree.

Hah yeah I had hoped for 1-2 more months of nice and relaxed development before we had more than a few hundred members haha

If you are administrator of an academy, you already have an option under "manage academy" to group message all members :)

But yes, messages is an area that can use some more work. Will probably rewrite the whole thing at some point, but it's a bigger project. The current version was written on a train ride from Munich airport to the city with a heavy hangover :D

Not sure if this has been suggested yet. But the option to follow a persons profile. Like whenever they post be notified.

Just noticed that all the little thumbnails in notifications and on the forum pages are actually the full-sized picture scaled down - It would save resources and improve page load speed to generate smaller images for these thumbnails.

So... I'm not sure if this has been discussed, but my professor is fully verified and he voted to verify me - Shouldn't that pretty much confirm everything? Maybe at least make their vote count for more?

Your profile is designated as "Current rank verified by promoting instructor" under achievements. This will definitely help you get verified faster.
