Topic: Indispensable and user friendly features.
Hello.
I already posted some suggestions and feature requests, but I want to repeat the ones I think are urgently needed. Notice that some of them could be added very easily and are just improvements of already existing features, so I pray vlad to consider to add them into the system as soon as possible in a new minor release, please.
a) Newsletter in html.
Absolutely important to make some money with email marketing and periodically send official announcements to members with attractive emails.
b) Newsletters by locality (at least by State/Region).
Another improvement needed by admins that use locality database and would like to send targeted emails to prevent annoying lot of members with emails which are interesting just for the members of a specific region.
c) Allowing admins using a locality database.
Usually admins prefer to use locality database to help members selecting right localities names by dropdown menus and avoid they don't appear in search results if they did some errors while digiting their locality. Moreover, this will make possible to earn money with newsletter by locality. Email marketing it's really important. To finish, today all scripts use to help people to choose their locality "step by step" starting from Country up to City while they select Country / State-Region / City.
d) Changing html editor.
Lot of vldp users said they would like to use TinyMce instead of current html editor and someone shared a modifications to do that. This demonstrates that moving to TinyMce could make happier lot of vldp users and surely could make easier to fix any issue that TinyMce could have and share solutions and best settings between users. Please, avoid users to have to apply modifications to use TinyMce and include it as default.

e) Characters counter in textfields with limits.
This could make forms really user friendly. Characters counter has already been added for private messages, so it could be easily added in other forms in some minutes, including comments textarea. About this I wonder why it has not been done yet. Please, add it in all forms where admin can set characters limit, so members will be informed about the limit while inserting any content.
f) Offline/Online status with just a click.
Allow members to hide their online status also into sites that are not using the vldpersonals inbuilt chat system.
g) Adding html editor for blogs.
This could allow members to publish attractive blog entries.
h) Mobile version.
Fortunately someone already sells a mobile version, anyway consider to add one into default templates for your new customers.
i) Search results ordered by last access date (no need to show the date).
I receive lot of emails by my members with this request. They would like to filter profile search also by last access date to see on the top of search results list the profiles of members which accessed the site recently.
