OK. Here's something that is needed almost as badly as the "ignore" button.Each member should be able to choose which sex they want to accept invitations from. Many girls are writing in their descriptions that they are only looking for other girls, not men, yet they are always getting invites from men. The descriptions are getting pretty nasty.There should be 2 buttons, one for male & one for female, that each member can activate so that they will be able to accept invites from either sex or both.Put that at the top of your list
psThose buttons could also be used similarly to the ignore button in that they would allow chatting with members of the chosen sex(es).
Is there any way that you could make it so that you can see that the member you are chatting with is typing? It would cause less confusion.
Another thing that's already been mentioned in here is a friend's list to keep track of your favorite buddies and partners. UI wise it would probably look a whole lot like the ignore list and functionality, making it quite simple to design and implement if I'm not mistaken. Seeing a little heart instead of a little cross next to the name in the Search result list.One thing that I like to see, but I understand that it has to be configurable, is an audible notification of incoming messages (and maybe invites) for when I'm either tabbed out or have the application minimized. The blinking icon is good and all, but I've missed it on several occasions already.I realize this might result in spam for some users (mainly our oh-so-popular girls) hence the priorly mentioned configuration option for this. One idea to limit it would be to only allow one sound a minute or something. Another idea would be to only enable the sounds for people on your friends list (if this will be implemented).
