I definetly think that there should be a MySpace style groups system on Pownce.
I think it should be easy to use, for example you could have a group called "Digg Fans", which you would access at www.pownce.com/g/DiggFans. Groups could be publicly joinable, or the appointed group admins could select who got to join. When posting a note, file or link, you can choose to send it to the group.
I was wondering if there are any plans to build in a blocking option?
No, Pownce is not Twitter, but one of the things I like about Twitter is its ability to block someone directly from their userpage.
I, for example, have a user that requested friendship long ago. I decided to ignore the request and move on. The problem is, this user keeps adding comments, and I'd rather not hear from this person. I can't block him, though, until he requests friendship again.
Are there any plans in the works to add this?
By the way, I'm happy with the increased stability as of late. You guys have done a good job turning this around :)
Pownce needs SMS to really take advantage of its grouping capabilities.
As a college student, I would like to be able to track house parties with friends. If 30 people are sharing Pownce notes with each other on a Friday or Saturday night, there will never be a slow night. Once a party gets broken up or starts winding down, Pownce comes to the rescue.
As stated in the Pownce FAQ:
How do I remove my account?
You can delete your account in your Settings. Login to your account first, then go into your settings and follow the instructions there. Sorry to see you go!
It clearly states *delete your account*, however, after following the steps and trying to log back in to test, I get a message stating: "This account has been disabled." not the "Username and password do not match." that I was expecting. I would like my account and history DELETED, or, at the very least, clearly state that you do not actually delete accounts, only disable them. This is misleading and unfair.
i will admit i'm a little ignorant when it comes to identifying flags. the little icons representing what county the person is from is great!! ...if you know the flags. it would be really nice to be able to hover over the icon and it tell me which country it is.
should be a quick little update to make some of us folks that got a C in geography happy. :D
In the green tree theme, the user-photo border blends in with the new transparency layer (or at least it does on my screen). Look here for an example: http://www.drop.io/ddjku4a
Perhaps the color of the border could be adjusted so that it stands out more?
Because when we reply to a note we sometimes forget to follow the conversation, a cool way to follow a note would be to be inspired by forums (i think about vanilla for example, or even getsatisfaction :) which is great), which shows first recently active topics.
It would avoid to show replies to notes we have replied to (and i know you don't want to do this as you said in a topic here)!
every time i open the desktop client i am first met by the log in screen, all my log in info is saved and all i have to do is click one button to log in but it's still a slight nuisance. is it possible to be automatically logged in? i've noticed a lot of flash applications i use on the web don't log in automatically so i guess it may be a limitation of flash. just a thought.
Nice to have, but it'd be great to be able to do some limited markup. One thing I will be using Pownce for is quoting pages I find around the net. I would love to be able to italicize titles.
Just another two cents. I'll send you the bill in a month. :-p
I can't log into my account (for several days now)?! I even tried clicking on |Forgot your username or password? (the link is dead)| What else can I do to solve this problem? Thanks.
I signed up for pownce so I could see all my friends' notes on one page. Only problem is, there is no easy way to see public notes and private notes from my friends at the same time. I may as well be logged out, because there is no obvious navigation to get to my friends' public pages either, which is where all the content is. As a user who is more interested in keeping track of my friends' notes than posting them, it seems there is no motivation for me to have an account. Am I missing something? I tried looking for a setting to change the public notes as viewable, but I couldn't find anything.
If it is a matter of only being able to see future notes once I've signed up, then it would be great if you guys could change it so past posts show up as soon as you friend someone. That way users will feel like they've actually gotten something once they've signed up and added friends, instead of just a blank page like I've had for the last week.
I was thinking it'd be good when sending files, links or events, to be able to not only send to Pownce members in your friends list, but also a set of email adresses. These would then read like
"(member_name) has sendt you a file/link/event on Pownce! Click here(link) to retrieve it"
This link would then lead to the registration page where they would sign up for Pownce/log in with an existing account if they have one in order to see their sent item.
This would, naturally, not be effective until the invite-only clause is lifted from Pownce, but when it is, this is a great way to get people to join!
We need the ability, even if only for 2 minutes like on digg, to be able to edit notes and comments so that we can fix a typo if we notice one. Had an issue earlier where I had to delete my comment and retype it to fix 1 typo.
