Some Things Which Bother Me About Memberships

In Socibd, it is impossible to set membership status like featured, administrator, moderator, suspended, deleted etc from the member admin settings area. It is only possible to assign bulk actions to member categories.

There is no way to view invited members from the admin panel. It seems invites always remain in the invitation queue instead of being able to send directly when inviting someone from your personal member invitation panel area under friends.

Admins, are unable to enable RSS or SEO features like sitemap, RSS and robots.txt files. It also seems the ability to subscribe to a category, blog or forum as a whole as well as personal topics through email is not available yet.

There is no activity feed section to control what types of content appear there. Replies to posts as well as likes appearing as individual feeds would be nice to have in addition to being able to view if a new member joins or is awaiting approval! Admin related functions should also appear in the activity feed but only visible to a certain user group. As such, the member and administrative user groups should appear in user group section of the admin panel.

The chat in Socibd is beyond primitive to say the least. At most it can do is one function, send and receive messages. I hate to say it but it is cumbersome to use at best and it really puts a dampener on the prices Socib charges for a minimum let alone maximum monthly as well as yearly fee.

As members join, they should be able to change how their profile page appears. Every member should be given a quick add box at the top of their screen to add and view content they have or would like to post which is always available along with messages, friend requests and notifications. Speaking of which, notifications don't seem to appear as read even though they are viewed.

Global actions areas should be applied for doing quick actions on posts like featuring them, editing or removing them and or subscribing to the post itself as well as being able to jump to and add comments, likes and shares for all content as well as member profiles.

It would be great to be able to ad any type of odule to any page as well as be able to edit the size, column and width as well as height of each page through a builder option.

Some of the back end stuff you request is actually available through the front end as an administrator.

You can as a member move your modules and widgets around on your profile. You can change colors, template covers and templates as an option also from your page as a member or administrator. This shocks me that you requested this because on your own network or on mine you never change the profiles, or even adjust your themes. I even posted a faq on how to change the avatars, covers or templates and colors. You said it looked garbled as a FAQ. Friend requests, notifs and such are available in the top right hand corner.

I don't think socibd should have a builder option, you can always change size of gifs, instead of size of modules, when you add them to the front page, groups. modules or pages/profiles. I agree that I'd like to see an above html option or footer also for banners and other advertising options, You can feature members on their profile pages, by clicking on the ... button.

You can also choose which your newsfeed will display -- click the v (down button where it says all) and you will see the ability to filter by all, status, blog, videos, forums, etc.

Robot.txt file is available in the admin panel, you can also set featured members, admin, mod, and so on from the admin panel under members without using BULK assign. Click on the members check box and then click the button above that says banned to post, set role, set user group for individuals.

When you click Follow on a members profile, you are actually notified when that member posts something in the forums, on your profile in a status, uploads or comments materials, follows you, friendships you, and so on and what not. If you click unfollow them you never see their contents anymore. If you have it set to moderate content, you will also be notified of it and when new people require moderation for memberships.

I don't personally understand why you don't play around more with your trials when you create them. You also can not build an engaging network if you don't share more items, and encourage your people to do the same.
