Speak up and win!! We're turning ONE, time to celebrate!!

Favorite: The helpful and friendly attitude display by everybody here. Unlike some other sites that seem bent on trying to tear everybody down, the community here is friendly and helpful.

Least Favorite: I don't use the homepage at all. I use the "active threads" exclusively.

Suggestion for improvement: Add a "view attachments" button to the threads somehow. I find this exceptionally useful when looking for something, I can go into a large thread on rcgroups and view all of the attachments to see all the pictures and find one that illustrates something, or reminds me of a scheme I liked, etc.

Keep up the good work guys!

A way to search in a thread would be nice. I wanted to find a picture I posted in the Glassing and Painting thread and had to go page by page to find it. If I could have searched for my posts in the thread it would have been much easier. Being able to view all pictures in a thread as others have asked for would be great as well.

• YOUR FAVORITE FEATURE OF THE SITE

Very knowledgeable RC community, You guys seem to be on top of new releases and RC news.

• YOUR LEAST FAVORITE FEATURE OF THE SITE

I must admit really nothing is bothering me and I think the site is well thought out. nit-picking the drab blue background color, I would pick something that "PoPs" a little more........ almost flouro, .......................I said nitpicky!

• YOUR TOP REQUEST FOR AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE SITE

Most active threads/posts added to Home Page for the guy in hurry who has just enough time to glance into his addiction

 

[Mr.Anderson]

BTW, How does one search a thread that is being viewed? Let's say I'm on post 1000 and want to search the whole thread for something? I can't figure that one out.

DOH! Sometimes the things you want are just right there! Just click in the search box to get the options:

I love this website!

FAVORITE: The build threads are second to none, as well as, when asking a question here the collective knowledge of the group is amazing. This group really wants to post about subject matter instead of just a sea of conversations like on other sites. I have a Super Cub build thread going and plan on posting my complete Airtronics Sapphire build which will not be found any other place on the web. I love the "like" button, not only to like posts, but also it gives me encouragement when people "like" posts on my build thread, or when posting a question, you feel good knowing other people are wondering the same things.

LEAST FAVORITE: I love to surf the classifieds. I hope more people will start using that section for trade, and I wish there were thumbnail photos of the items for sale as you're scrolling through. That's it!

SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS: I think thumbnails on the classifieds. On the home page, I like the way it's designed, but the images could use a little different scaling, or priority to give it some more "pop". That being said, I love this website more than any other rc page, and didn't want to cop out on this part so I had to dig and be nit-picky... HAHA!!

Thanks so much for creating this awesome place for all of us!

It is with a wee tear in my right eye that I look back on the past year and think about the fact that we're still here!! Who would have thought we could have possibly survived after those first three months of problems?? Well survive we did and on August 23rd we'll be ONE year old!

Congrats on a full year!
1. Like: Great easy to read format and navigation.
2. Least liked: Could not get thumbnails on the for sale ads.
3. Improvements: Just not enough flyers participating. Get the word out with more advertisement on FG, Mini-Iac, etc.
How about offering a promotion that gives current members a shot at a free prize if they send your "Promo"/Advertisment to 3 flying buddies?

 

[Indiomike]

Favorite feature: Forums especially anything on engines, such as reviews, repair, tuning, rebuilding, and performance.

Least favorite: Don't care about off topic discussions. I get enough of that everywhere else.

Improvement: Be very strict on people who clutter up threads with back and forth arguments and thinly veiled insults at each other. Way too much of that occurring on other sites.
