Well to be honest khti, I've been begging pple to use the suggestion forums and to also try and get involved and give me some ideas, but as you can see nothing.

I'm just one guy, I need help so I'm always open to ideas.... I just need to hear them

[Omeymaa]

It looks superb, really user-friendly Jazaka Allahou kahiran ya Beebo

The advertising bit is easy..just get people to put a link to e-dz on their emails or something..unless you want something really big..
But we want members that actually contribute to e-dz and not just sign up and get welcome and head for the 'sign out' and never turn up again

wellah ya beebo it looks already awesome ... all what have been doing till now is great !! I just find the site is not very known comparing to all what it contains .

I already suggested you to make a video

Then , try to add 'About us' to the site ... we had it before in previous versions ... there was a text about how it started and how it evaluated ..

ok, let's see the new features first and then we'll think more about adverts ...


Good luck admin ... thanks again.

Great suggestion and I totally agree with you on the email, we have made a special topic regarding that Support E-DZ where we created pictures and signatures for everyone to use in their emails to post on facebook and stuff.

We need quality and not quantity and that's always been the case for us .

See I totally forgot about that wallah, thanks for reminding me about both the video and about us section. I'll make sure both are done perfectly and make sure we send the video out to everyone

Great work bro!
Best Admin ever!

thank you very much.

[Lilia]

Mmmm more spices to E-DZ cooool

Rabi y9adrak
I was just going to suggest to put a promotional video on Youtube to attract more people
those signatures are awesome but i can't see how use them in emails

Currently working on it. Want to make sure we make something amazing and high quality as it is always the case with E-DZ

Done!!

Thanks again sis, like I said the suggestion forum is always waiting. I just need fresh ideas and I'll do my best to implement them

Cool new features. I am looking forward to the update. Only thing I am hoping for or after the update is to adjust the placement of that shoutbox other than that, everything is great !

[Rima]

habeeb u keep changing and changing, im so lost ...

• Chat Will have a number next to it indicating the number of people chatting (we'll only be able to have 5 people chatting at once, since most of the time that's the maximum, but we do have our backup chat which we can use with unlimited numbers)
• New Search capabilities which allow you to choose which part of the forum you want to search
• Notification Area (sort of like facebook) where you'll be notified if someone sent you a message or replied to your status ect.
• Lock function for your status message which will disable anyone from replying to your status message

There will also be a new Mobile skin which is much much better than the previous one:

 mobile-1.png   51.31K   5 downloads  mobile-2.png   19.2K   5 downloads

I'll try to have a green skin available to support our National Team as well.. lots of things coming and I am pretty excited so all goes well

[------]

well done mate, keep it up!

[M3akYalKhathra]

Beebo...legend. Enough said.

Really glad that you are implementing the Chat feature. Will introducing the Chat feature mean that the shout box will be removed ? Because having both will make the site load even slower. It would be ideal to stick to one of them. The shoutbox or the Chat.

Any estimate at how long the update down time for the forum will take or is expected to last ? Hopefully it can be completed in time for us to discuss the friendly Match vs UAE.

Well the chat won't be hosted on our server, so that won't take anything out of our server's speed nor the resources. I'm actually going with having the shoutbox on the main page only to start with.

haha ya my main concern was the friendly game discussion too which is why I scheduled the update for tomorrow night. shouldn't be more than a couple of hours. I will just have to ensure all the main functions are working properly, open the forum back up again and then deal with any minor issues (if any) afterwords

Yeah I was abt to ask u abt it , cuz I had the National Team green skin then it changed on its own to E-DZ's
but now am guessin that u removed it lol

other than that I really cant wait for the new updates

Great job Beebo but I dnt think the option that allows u to read the topic without clicking on it would be a good one to be honest cuz then less ppl will read topics no ?
Plus it will ruin the surprise when we use weird topic titles so ppl get curios lol

so the site will be down tonight
I hope it wont take more than few hours Insha'Allah

Nice one Beebz!!!!
