We're ALWAYS listening

[DiogoRibeiro]

Not many of you know me, so please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Diogo and I'm the Product Manager at GirlsAskGuys. I'll be around a lot more collecting feedback from you and communicating the changes we make.

One of the great things about GirlsAskGuys is our community that is very engaged not only in helping people out when they ask a question, but also with the product itself.

This is why after the latest updates, we listened. Well, actually we read several Questions and myTakes like these:

Do you like the new GAG format?, asked by an anonymous user.

Why Removing The Downvote Button Was a (For the Most Part) Bad Idea, shared by @RainbowFanGirl.

GAG has changed. Did you like it?, asked by @emotional_passion.

G@G updates review: January, shared by @YourFutureEx.

And after some careful consideration of every concern and opinion you voiced, this is what we did:

1. Enough with the hearts

We heard that one, loud and clear... You didn't like the hearts. Some people considered it tacky while others simply thought it represented too much of a commitment to that simple action of "liking" something.

2. Here, take a thumbs up

Our plan B was to use a symbol as universal as the heart for the like: a thumbs up. We know it's being used in several places out there, but for some things, the more obvious, the better.

3. The downvote conundrum

As we stated when launching the like feature, the idea was not only to encourage positivity in the community, but also coming up with a single, comprehensive and intuitive action that could be used to express agreement or simply to say thank you everywhere, on Questions, myTakes and Opinions.

This is why, at this point, we're not reintroducing the downvotes or anything similar. But GirlsAskGuys is young and constantly evolving, so nothing is definitive.

4. Too many terms for different things

We also took this opportunity to change the labels for some of the most common actions around here. Having and sharing an Opinion is part of our DNA, so that will remain as it is, but Comments and Replies were basically the same thing and we opted to keep "Reply" as the word for that action.

5. A clear mobile interface and other adjustments

We also put a lot of effort into making the mobile interface more intuitive and easier to use by reviewing spacing between the icons, adding text labels and several other small things.

---

That's it. Thanks for all the feedback and thanks for caring enough to speak up. You girls and guys are awesome!

[dangerDoge]

Thank you for the take.
I am personally against removing the downvotes. I have already written thousands of characters about it in various opinions and am frankly tired of explaining why haha
However, I do not disagree with testing them out more, as testing out features is important in developing a site.

Granted, I've heard mostly disdain regarding the removal of the downvote. On polls in general it has leaned towards I wanna say 70 or 80% in opposition of the downvote-removal.

--I like the mobile interface adjustment. It seems running pretty smoothly.
-- The like icon instead of hearts is meh. It is an improvement over hearts as it is more clear, but it seems similar to facebook. It gives a more clear depiction then the old upvote/downvote symbols though. I remember when I first joined GAG it was a little confusing what the arrows meant. Given how popular and well known the facebook thumb is, I guess the ever-familiar facebook like icon is a necessary evil in that regard 😅
-- I like the name change to reply vs opinion-comment. I would probably go crazy if you changed opinion to something else though 😂. Thanks for keeping that.
--------
I guess now the only thing I disagree with is the removal of the downvote. However, I am glad to see attempts are being made at improving the site. Keeping updates is an important aspect of online sites to keep the look fresh and running, and while I may not agree with all the changes (*cough downvote-removal*) I like that there are at least attempts for updates.
I guess some things were hit and miss in my opinion.

[dangerDoge]

Oh and I'd like to add one thing.
A possible feature (idk how plausible it is) that would be nice to have would be a no opinion "scroll-to-the-bottom" option. Rather, I want to try weeding out old unanswered questions off the site. However, I can't scroll down too much since the big O isn't constant (processing time takes longer and longer each load). Considering how the no opinion section keeps building up more and more, it'd be a useful feature to have.

-- Besides that, an ability to search through your own profile would be nice. I often remember an older opinion that works for a current question. However, I can't access it because the actual search bar has issues (not to mention I'd have to sort through tons of unnecessary questions) and opinion collection is over 1000.
Even a button that narrows down searches to "ones you've posted on" or "your questions" on the normal search screen would be incredibly helpful.
Anyway, these are just some random thoughts I've had for awhile

[DiogoRibeiro]

These are both nice ideas. Thanks for the input.

[BellePepper]

I don't like that the downvotes aren't back. We've already seen the effect that long unending arguments has had in the comments. It does not make the site a more positive place. It makes it a headache that I am loathe to come back to. Especially when some of the comments I'm seeing are using offensive language and slurs such as cunt and bull dyke are not being taken down by administrators.

Do you see the disconnect here? You're telling the users that we need to be more positive but on your end you are *encouraging* toxic behavior and then blaming US for the culture problems on the site. That is not okay and no amount of format changing is going to fix it.

I also do not like the +1 because it subconsciously affects readers and future commenters decisions. I'm a strong advocate of the light gray arrow that was used before because it was unobtrusive and allowed opinions to be consumed with less bias.

I was hoping something would be done about the comment box jumping after like 200 characters, but maybe that's in the works? Along with a decent font fix? I am also disappointed to see the profile popup that came up when you hovered over a person's username on desktop is gone. That was SO useful :/

Yay for the gender jumps being back! And so far the Reported Posts feed is amusing and very handy!

I'm sure I'll find more changes to chat about as things progress. Hopefully they'll be good ones.

[jman46241]

I totally agree about the effect of taking away downvotes. I have seen and gotten into quite a few arguments that most likely could have been avoided.. The profile popup thing still works on my end, maybe it was just not working earlier.

[BellePepper]

@jman46241 I'll def have to look into it! I've been on mobile most of the day XD I'm glad it's working for you though!

[YourFutureEx]

Yes. I think that +1 thingy should only visible to the opinion owner because there's no point in showing the world that "yeah! Asker upvoted my opinion". And arrow was better.

"Reported post feed"?

[BellePepper]

@YourFutureEx I guess it's just a mod thing :(

[YourFutureEx]

This is good. Now mods can be taught and they don't need to bookmark every thread on which they did some moderation to check their success ratio. I can't believe that they finally implemented it.

[BellePepper]

@YourFutureEx Lol no. I wish. It just let's you see what people have flagged to see if there's something that need to come down. Like late night porn shots kind of thing.

[YourFutureEx]

Aw damn it. It's just Bat-signal.

[BellePepper]

@YourFutureEx Lol p much. But it's been interesting so far!

[RainbowFanGirl]

Thanks for mentioning my take, and you guys are getting better with listening to us. :)

Also, I think you guys should bring the downvotes back soon. As I said in my take, not many people wanted the change in the first place. The polls that were made after going away with the downvote button were roughly 20% to 80%. Many people were fine with it. I really think you should bring it back eventually.

Also, you guys should really work on IP banning disruptive users. It would really work with encouraging a friendly user environment. I've had users harass me and when their accounts were banned, they came right back, just making a different account. I think that would be helpful.

Also, @YourFutureEx had a great idea. If you so desire to eventually bring back the downvote option, perhaps you could implement a feature that automatically buries a comment that has been downvoted too many times (with a "tap or click to show button") it would be useful. I remember YouTube having something similar a while ago.

Anyways thanks so much. Maybe you guys could make polls and ask users what they want.

[DiogoRibeiro]

I'll definitely use some polls to get feedback from you guys and hear your ideas. ;)

[BellePepper]

Lol one of my most popular comments has been downvoted like 20 times. Don't bury it RainbowFanGirl T-T

[RainbowFanGirl]

Awesome!

@BellePepper I won't 😍

[mr90skid]

Yes! Ban ip addresses

[Realistic07]

I definitely agree I hope the dislike comes back. Even if my reply may be dissliked I still would like to know it is disliked not to argue, but just to understand the consensus on my opinion.

[FatherKnowsBest]

I agree with RAINBOWFANGIRL regarding bringing back the 👎. We should have pluralism of thought, and some opinions and thoughts are so silly they deserve a down vote.

[FatherKnowsBest]

. . . I forgot to mention that without the down vote we are being censored! Is this what we want?

[ikissedtheskyonce]

Yahoo answers actually is the one that has had that feature that hides comments and opinions if there are too many down votes

[RainbowFanGirl]

@ikissedtheskyonce really? Oh I didn't know they were the first.

[ikissedtheskyonce]

Yep there have had it for a long time now

[ikissedtheskyonce]

*they

[VirginiaBeachBum]

I really hope you can do something about the seeming growing abuse of anonymous questions being posted by people. I can understand why some people would want to go anon on certain questions, but some users seems to do it with every question they ask, no matter how benign the subject. Sometimes about 2/3's of my feed is questions by anonymous askers. And another "special" group of users like to post anonymous questions just so they can be antagonistic towards anyone who doesn't share their views on a subject, no matter how polite the disagreeing comment is. I know there are likely technical limitations in doing so, when when you implemented the ability to block anon question askers with whom you've interacted on a question (a great feature, BTW!) it would be nice to have the option to block that anonymous user across the board on all future questions. Some are here just to stir up trouble, and many know how to just stay under the rule threshold to keep from getting booted. It's becoming a big game of whack-a-mole. The only other option is to completely ignore all anonymous askers' questions, which I would hate to have to start doing. Perhaps placing limits on the number of anonymous questions a user can post within a given time frame would be an option which would help.

[DiogoRibeiro]

Thanks for this opinion.

It's an important piece of information that we'll take into account when considering changes to the way anonymous questions works on GirlsAskGuys.

[cavmanier]

Taking away the down vote has added a veil of forced positivity at the expense of freedom of expression. Gag, you can include a down vote by adding a dislike to the like feature. The down vote doesn't have to be negative. Years ago the site switched from "best answer" to "most helpful" and from giving "answers" to giving "opinions." I can see the intention to try and make the site less opinionating or confrontational and instead make it more open to seeing others views. I think that's cool. Like I said, the down vote doesn't have to be negative or rude though. It can be incorporated as a dislike. A dislike of an opinion which means they just don't agree with that opinion. The value that the dislike brought to the site was to help show real feelings. For many this site is heavily liked for it's ability to see real opinions and understand each other. Without being able to disagree with a dislike arrow, the site has lost much of the information for people to understand others. Even if the person disagreed with may feel sad for a moment if they decided to check the like/dislike status, they still can--and often I bet--learn the lesson of others opinions which can be more powerful than the minute or two they feel sad. What I am saying is censoring the site into forced positivity will and has taken away much of the appeal of this site--to see what others think.

[poopedmypantsagain]

Hi there and thank you for the info, I like this site very much and have not found one near the same quality as this one, and even if I did I would stay on this one.. I do like to post my opinions on many topics that I see on here and also ask a question or two, but sometimes I have found that I did not fully read a question right the first time before I posted my response to it.. then when I go back to those posts that I made.. I see my mistake that I made and wish I could edit it.. so it sounded not only better to me but also to the person that I responded too.. even if this edit feature lasted only 24 hours as that is ample time to edit any post for anyone.. I never want to retract any comment I have made as I like to think I posted my honest opinion always on anything and everything.. but that edit feature would be great.. you and your staff do a great job on this site.. I like all your updates.. to me they are all good.. may all you and your staff's days be pleasant ones.. take care

[TripleAce]

Great modifications and I can say it feels and looks much more intuitive after the newest update.

As for the 'dislikes' - I wouldn't call it a conundrum but more so the vision you'd like to push. 3 points for each stance

For the dislikes
1. Could potentially minimize direct negative engagements
2. It differentiated GAG from its competitors
3. It allows to quickly project your thoughts, anonymously, with a click of a button. Considering GAG has a plathera of opinions and questions, it really creates a more fluid experience while scanning through 100's of opinions on a daily basis for heavy users.

Against the dislikes
1. It creates 'unecessary' negativity. For example opinions that are neutral or not opinion based, possibly even a image of a user.. dislikes can leave one feeling disheartened. Further more that emotion would negatively be associated with the website
2. They can alter the opinions of others and possibly subconsciously persuade users to jump on that 'disklike' bandwagon further perpetrating point 1
3. For a site that is about interactions and sharing, if GAG tracks this data, more behaviour is better. A dislike button may quickly convey a message but it also prohibits interaction that could be of use

At the end of day, these are great updates and it really comes down to the direction the site will focus on. There is pros and cons for both, it really comes down to the mission statement and values the 'company' holds

Good luck
Cheers

[TheDevilInside]

Yeah those heart are just... Blegh. What am I, a 5-year-old girl? It's Bad enough that you guys made female users "wear" pink forever. We can pretend to talk about gender equality here, but these gender specific colors totally negate that lol now let's See if you're actually listening.

Also, as I said in one of the above mention ed questions, removing the downvote button is censprship at its finest. Oh the negativity is alive and well, don't even pretend it's not there. By removing the downvote button, you're just basically choosing to close people's eyes and duct tape their mouths shut and only open the duct tape if they want to say something positive. Freedom of expression, anyone?

in my opinion, anyone who can't handle with the insignificant amount of "negativity" the downvotes bring is probably not ready or well suited for gag anyway.

[9mfeo]

If you're such great listeners, why do you not enforce IP bans on known problem users? Wouldn't that be more effective for building a positive community than taking away the only thing that made disagreeing with someone peaceful?

[DBAOracle]

There's no full-proof method of banning on the web.

IP banning is ineffective because:
1) Most IP addresses are dynamic, they change in time.
2) They can easily be bypassed by using proxy servers and these are all over the web and for free.

[YourFutureEx]

@DBAOracle Spot on. And it is also possible that a lot of people are sharing the same IP

[9mfeo]

@YourFutureEx @DBAOracle

So, users like ten of the peaks (who antagonizes and harasses everyone) and the virgin hunter (who preys on underage girls) should just be allowed to come back as often as they like? The admins won't even ban those users when they instantly and recognizably show up. How is that fostering a positive community? Allowing your userbase to be abused by the same problem users over and over again.

[YourFutureEx]

Even tho I never liked him, I must say, he was very creative with his verbal attacks. I never managed to hide/report his posts. He knows very well how to antagonise and not to violate guidelines.

Whatever, the point was, IP banning won't help because there are so many proxy sites + it changes + if my neighbour is ten of the peaks and he gets banned, I'll be banned too because generally, a lot of users share the same IP.

The only way to tackle them is by getting stricter, which obviously GAG isn't. Just deal with it. Use block feature.

[9mfeo]

@YourFutureEx the block feature can be easily circumvented by users who make multiple accounts. We're not dealing with someone who follows the rules here. He makes a new account every day. Is it not worth protecting the community to accidentally ban the neighbour? If this website was actually about creating a positive community instead of just paying lip service to the idea, they would actually do something. But they like the controversy. They like to see users being antagonized. It all adds up to more ad revenue.

[DBAOracle]

By all means, I'm not saying that some people shouldn't be banned. I'm just saying that there is nothing GAG can do because there's no full-proof banning method on the web. The only available 3 methods are:
1) Account banning - bypassable by creating a new account.
2) Cookie planting - means GAG puts a cookie in your browser that identifies you as a banned user, bypassable if you just clear the browser's content. If you simply use "private browsing" it's as simple as restarting your browser.
3) IP banning - bypassable the way I mentioned before.

The new method on the rise though is the use of user accounts + phone numbers but that's very costly to be effective and still won't be full-proof. With Google Voice, Text Me and all these apps that provide phone numbers, it will be pretty hard to ban all these numbers not considering how you get them to begin with. And this whole user account + phone number costs users, not everyone will just put their phone number out there...

[9mfeo]

@DBAOracle they're both repeat offenders. They will keep coming back until a definite method of banning them surfaces.

So they can talk all the want about how they want to create a positive community, but until they take REAL steps to making it so, it's just hot air.

[DBAOracle]

I totally understand your point but you also have to know that there's nothing GAG can do. The web architecture is just like this with no definitive method of banning. GAG can't do anything to block them forever so you don't see them again. That's why moderators and such exist. Because only the human can recognize them and neutralize their effect but a computer can't do so. Trust me, I've built a web application before and although had a minimal amount of users, bullies and trolls ruined it for everyone and I had to just take the site down. I've done my research on banning and there's really nothing available.

[9mfeo]

@DBAOracle Then they need to cut the crap about creating a positive community. We already know that they will never be stricter about enforcing rules (RE: @BellePepper 's opinion) and if there's nothing they can do to ban known problem users, who are they really fooling?

Taking away downvotes wasn't a step to creating a more positive community. They removed the only way to disagree peacefully. The amount of verbal abuse has skyrocketed and the amount of meaningful engagement on questions has plummeted.

[DBAOracle]

They can create a "positive community" because they have active moderators. Moderators can neutralize negative behavior according to what they define as negative. And I believe the moderators are actually doing a good job because I've stumbled upon multiple questions or opinions that contained things like nudity before and these posts were gone in a matter of minutes, I could never make it on time to leave a comment there. But, yes, taking away the down-votes was a pretty bad idea in my opinion because just like you said, now I feel inclined to type a comment on what I disagree with and the result has more often than not been a clash between me and whoever the Asker or Opinion Owner was. So yeah, taking the down-votes down wasn't a right move.

[BellePepper]

@DBAOracle I've frozen more than 4 accounts that belonged to Tenofspeaks in 12 hours. Like this guy does not stop and they know he's a problem. But instead of instabanning him when they find one of his accounts, they have to go through an entire process of warning him and telling him to stop being naughty before they ban him unless there are duplicates. Like how ridiculous is that? How does that help anyone? Instantly banning users like him would help get the idea through their head that their behavior needs to stop.

[9mfeo]

@BellePepper @DBAOracle not to mention that every moderator has a different interpretation of the rules and that ultimately the decision to remove posts is left up to the admins (who are notoriously inconsistent as well). They need to cut the crap about this positive community thing, or actually be consistent about what is and is not allowed. Which I have a sneaking suspicion will never happen.

[DBAOracle]

@BellePepper Out of curiosity though, how do you know that it's the same guy? Does he just get similar usernames or you just assume so because the content is similar? And I believe that he knows his behavior is already not acceptable but, he's just the worst type of bully; the stubborn one. This is the kind of scenario in which following the protocol might be ridiculous.

[9mfeo]

@DBAOracle it's really easy actually. He antagonizes people by telling them they have autism or some other form of social ineptitude, accuses people of infringing on his right to free speech/have an unpopular opinion for any minor disagreement (Ie "I prefer chocolate to jam with peanut butter" elicits the response of "you always police what other people say! You're a Nazi!" or something equally ridiculous), and usually is an account from Trinidad & Tobago.

[DBAOracle]

"not to mention that every moderator has a different interpretation of the rules" that's a true statement. I'll also have to admit though, that although the banning methods available are not full-proof, they do have a certain degree of effectiveness. Because the available methods are bothersome to the individual and not all people are stubborn or patient enough. The banning methods I mentioned are not an obstacle to a tech savvy person so essentially it might succeed on banning all annoying users except those that have technical knowledge to a certain extent. Even though I knew banning wasn't effective enough, I still used a combination of all 3 methods and did achieve better results but they weren't satisfactory. I'm really surprised that GAG doesn't use any type of banning engine except account freezing...

[DBAOracle]

Yeah, then if he can only be recognized using content, you can't really automate it. And you can't just ban all of Trinidad & Tobago over him. You need a human to recognize him. But hold on a second though, so every time he registers I'm assuming he has to create a new E-mail address as well... so for every account freeze he has to create a new GAG account and a new E-mail address... that's definitely one stubborn bully!!

[9mfeo]

@DBAOracle I know right? Just give it up already. He created over 200 accounts this summer ALONE.

[sickz]

just ban the IPs outright. the chances the IP will change and be picked up by someone trying to use this site is slim to none.

Not banning a malicious user does more harm than good. Essentially you're pissing off 20 people to please a potential future new user.

[9mfeo]

@sickz that's my feeling as well.

[YourFutureEx]

#1. Downvotes aren't introduced. Great. It is good to test it more. Let users immerse in it for a period of time. I don't have to worry about trolls too :D
#2. I'm grateful that gender scrolling is back in desktop version :D :)
#3. Opinion button is now working flawlessly in mobile version.
#4. I don't know if it's just me or the mobile site has become faster.
#5. Yes, "Reply" makes sense.
#6. Thumbs up! 👍
#7. Mr. Ribeiro, You the real MVP.
_____
PS: It would be better if you change "Most helpful Opinion" to "Best Opinion", because there are a lot of varieties of questions where asker doesn't want "help".
Example: What is your fav. colour? How do you sound?
It doesn't make sense that an answer could be "helpful" to such questions, but there'd certainly be a "best" answer. :)

[YourFutureEx]

And thanks for shout out. 😇😎

[YourFutureEx]

Sir, there's a bug. We can't post links in "replies". System automatically adds space after periods.

[xHoneyxBeex]

Hey YourFutureEx, we're aware of this issue and are currently working on it :)

[YourFutureEx]

@xHoneyxBeex Thanks for the clarification :)

[tellmefantasies]

Hmm... yeah.. mostly settled in. But...
#6. Thumbs up!

@Asker If the 'thumbs up' is there, why have the word 'Like' beside it? I think the icon is sufficient. People can call it like or upvote or thumbsup or agreement. Not necessarily 'like' the post. Thank you for removing the hearts.
(I still prefer the old green upside arrow.)

[tellmefantasies]

@Asker ah, by the way, 1 feature to introduce would be editing your post within the first 5 mins (if not full time.)
People usually post stuff and when they skim through/read it again, they'd be like, ah shoot. I could've added that/ corrected that.

[DiogoRibeiro]

@tellmefantasies Yes, that's on our list. We're just figuring out how to make sure nobody abuses it. :)

[YourFutureEx]

@tellmefantasies I don't think that there should be editing feature. Why?
#1. It doesn't hurt correcting your word by adding (*).
#2. It will increase trolling. Let's say, I wrote "FK you" and then I'll wait for 5 minutes to let you read it and then edit it to "Thank you"
TROLLED!
#3. Even if we store edited history, people will still troll. Example: I have written nothing in my edited history.
*Someone opens edited history*
*finds the word "nothing"*
TROLLED!
#4. Time limit doesn't make sense because too short time won't help people who post long answers and too long time will increase confusion as people would change their opinion which suits best to the asker to please them.

[DiogoRibeiro]

@YourFutureEx Exactly... We're trying to come up with the most likely scenarios as you mentioned and figuring out the technical aspects of it. ;)

[YourFutureEx]

Best of luck, boss ;)

[Red_Arrow]

Currently +1 designates that the question asker has "liked" your opinion. But the way it looks it seems to say that +2 is next, then +3. Those are not possible so +1 looks odd.

When hovering over a name, a mini profile window pops up. It is just a bit too small and cuts off where the person is from. Obviously the box needs to be a bit larger, or the elements in it closer together.

While typing in a comment box (or reply box if you wish to call it that) the things below keep jumping up and dropping down. It happens constantly and will do it several times for each line typed.

I am on a PC laptop using Windows 7 and Firefox.

[DiogoRibeiro]

Thanks. We're aware of the issues on the profile hover and a fix should be deployed soon.

[Anonymous]

Yes, those hearts reminded me of my kindergarten teacher giving the kids stickers on their paper. It was much too much, but there gone now, so life moves on. I will say I miss the down vote button. Normally I would agree that I enjoy encouraging positivity and such, but there are those who are hell bent on making rude and crass comments. Blocking is great if you aren't anon, but if you are, it does nothing, so the down votes at least let people see that no one is cool with this person or you didn't like what they were saying which isn't in the spirit of being positive. I always wished 'that other site' had a dislike button, so this was great... until, that is, without warning it seems, it was gone. Bring that back.

[menina]

I didn't like the hearts and I'm glad they were replaced by the thumbs up.
I think that removing the downvotes was a good and a bad idea at the same time.
Good, because it promotes positivity like you mentioned and bad because were aren't able to express our disagreement towards an opinion. On the other hand, I know that some users used to downvote others simply because they didn't like the person who shared the opinion. Or because they liked to use this feature just for fun.

Thanks for listening to us.

[jacquesvol]

I still see some problems:
-comments on opinions and other comments often appear quite far from the comment one replies too. it makes mentioning and repeating at least part of their argument nearly compulsory in a discussion.
-having all the time just 'Asker' or 'Opinion Owner (Age:___ )' or 'Anonymous (Age:___)' to identify the member you're answering too isn't the simplest system.

[DiogoRibeiro]

Good point about the "Asker" and "Opinion Owner". We'll consider that in future updates. ;)

[jacquesvol]

And recently I met quite a number of problems embedding pictures (which worked perfectly before the update)

[DiogoRibeiro]

That is being sorted out as we speak. ;)

[jacquesvol]

Thanks! :)

[Anonymous]

Please improve layout and fonts. On my 720p monitor I can barely see 3 questions and at max 4. Space between each line is too much. See the user info balloon.

https://i.imgur.com/u4KU57N.png

[cavmanier]

I have the same error on my 1080 monitor

[Opinion Owner]

@cavmanier Yeah. It's not resolution related but it's surely more pain in the ass on low resolution monitors :(

[DiogoRibeiro]

Thanks, guys. We're aware and working on a fix for that particular issue. We have been experimenting with some fonts to find that perfect combination.

[Opinion Owner]

Glad to know! Roboto looks cool. Whatever fonts you choose, please don't choose Arial, Helvetica or Times New Roman lol.

[pooper89]

The old GAG with the yellow background was way better. For some reason you would always get more answers to your questions and the live feed was way better

[Mesonfielde]

I think it had to do with the rating system.

[BrownBoyBrownies]

I liked mytake this because of this cute dog
https://cf. girlsaskguys. com/a25484/681d7674-e39a-40c7-8c45-10eca0cce9b4. jpg

[BrownBoyBrownies]

Uhhh Mr admin. The picture isn't showing up. I think there's something wrong with the system

[DiogoRibeiro]

@BrownBoyBrownies We're looking into it. A fix should be minutes away! ;)

[DiogoRibeiro]

And yeah... It's not above me to use cute pet pictures to get you guys to agree with the changes we make. :P

[BrownBoyBrownies]

Thanks Captain Admin! You're doing a good job :)

[Zorax]

Great Take, ok - so no downvotes for now, but what about Follow Questions/MyTakes? I think you bring back that feature...

[DiogoRibeiro]

Hello. Yes, we intend to bring back the Follow feature soon.

[Mesonfielde]

Hopefully a bit quicker than how much time the app took. That has been in production for *years*.

[Zorax]

Great, I'm glad to hear that :D

[abundantlyrich]

I miss the bookmarking questions function!! Bring it back!

[DiogoRibeiro]

We will, promise! ;)

Here's a suggestion to the design wizards: You know the blue menu header at the top of the screen? When you're deep inside a question thread that disappears, and if you want to refresh the live feed you have to manually scroll back up before the blue menu header reappears. Can't you guys make the blue menu header "float" so it's always there?

I've been trying to use GirlsAskGuys a lot more in the past few weeks. It definitely has given me valuable insight into the product. ;)
