Dating Site Template


Design and Skin Customization

I have dated a number of Jamrooms over the years. Some of them were excellent company and we had a lot of fun, but I haven't found "the one" yet. ;)

Brian, Popcorn was a very nice Mozilla project which mixed various kinds of media on a video editor type of timeline. It was a part of their webmaker education project, not related to popcorn time in any way.

Mozilla's own site using popcorn (one of the webmaker sites) went away a while ago, not sure why.

Explaining the Sign up form, a two-way problem, and a possible two-in-one solution


Using Jamroom

Might be best to keep your signup form very simple placing signups in a very simple quota which requires no approval.
Once they are signed up, ask for your more complicated information and then move those who are suitable into your intended quota.
Keeping things very simple at the point of signup also allows you to use FB, Twitter etc to create an account.

Designing a profile form for profiles in Quota X, and a different form for profiles in Quota Y


Using Jamroom

If you try some of these things out using the Form Designer you will be able to figure it out in much less time than it takes you to formulate your lists of questions. Most of these tasks are really quite straightforward when you try to action them. Overthinking things will just waste your time.

Try things out. You should then be able to focus your questions on your actual needs, and make it possible for someone to answer helpfully. Try things out on a test site and you will gain perspective and save yourself a lot of time.

As far as your users go, I have found that academic-type users (I think that's your market) really appreciate simplicity in a quota structure. They don't have anywhere near enough time to learn new stuff in order to make use of a good tool. They will deliberately avoid anything which requires them to spend time figuring out if their time investment is worth it or not. Keep your quota structure simple and flexible at the start, then reorganise it when practical branchings become clear.

To that end, for point 5 above, give them the same sub and help text. e.g. "Users on a Members account get 2 links but members on a Pro account get 3 links.

That text also tells them that they should upgrade in order to gain better features. They will get that, they aren't stupid, just afraid of losing a lot of time that they don't have.

It all sounds a little bit confused. On the one hand Google say that they will give a penalty weighting to pages which don't validate, and they say they will give a penalty to pages which are not amp (which cannot validate).

Will the penalty for having a page which won't validate be smaller or larger than the penalty for having a non-amp valid page? Highly amusing ;)
