Just a few ideas I've been thinking about recently ;]


 


Online Now:


I know there has been some talk of this before and it was tossed out because of some security issues with seeing mods and admins online but I still think its a great idea and could be worked with? What if there was a disclaimer off to the side saying that mods and admins are hidden from the online now page and maybe have a link to all active members or have the list off to the side of the page for quick access? I just really liked this option on a horse sim I played previously!


 


Linked Accounts:


How cool would it be if we could link all our spares to our main accounts! Maybe there could be a drop down menu somewhere with all our accounts for better access instead of logging onto each individual account. I think this would work great with players that have tons of upgrades.. Maybe there could be a fee charged in the store like the one for bulk feeders! There could even be an feature to make shows for all accounts or buy tickets for all accounts. To make sure the linked accounts are actually the person's requesting it there could be a request and accept function similar to those of entering private shows?


 


Mobile App:


A mobile app would be awesome! Maybe not have the full blown options like the actually websites but maybe just the basics? I think theres been talk of this before too but I didn't see the thread. :/


 


What does everyone think? :D

Houx! 

 

You are right about there being security concerns for the Online now page, I dont think it will happen. 

As far as the mobile app and the linked accounts, they are on Sam's "Things to do when rich and famous" list on her page :)

I don't think we really -need- a mobile app.. I am on my phone at least half the time i'm online... I find the site amazing to use on my phone. I can train, chat, code.. everything I do on here.. just on my phone. Granted I do have a gigantic phone xD (the glaxy note 4..) Alas honestly I think an app would make the online experience worse atm. apps bug me coz there usually isnt all the options :( 

Linked accounts in that retrospect I don't think will ever be a thing. As a lot of players rent out accounts and the sorts so it wouldn't really be viable. Also I think it would create more issues than its worth :( (at the moment anyway) because people have trainers ect its nice that accounts are independent so you can give someone access to one without all 100 being compromised.

Mobile app and linking accounts are both things I want to do at some point :). But right now we don't really have those sorts of resources! Mobile app because it'll take a new kind of programming and therefore programmer and stuff, and linked accounts just because it would be very involved (and therefore expensive) and probably have a lot of bugs, so there are other things I would like to do first :).

But at some point, I think it would be cool to do the linked accounts thing for upgrades only and then maybe set one as your "main" and then all of your other upgrades would be linked to that and you could swap between them if you knew the logins for them? The only thing that I haven't really mentally figured out is how to stop people who account train to be able to use it?

You'd have to create a new training system, I think. Like an option on your animal's page where it can be trained by other players and you'll pay them X amount of hpd to do it. The anyone can go and say "oh! I'll train this horse and get paid for it." 

So a system where you can train for other people without transferring animals or them logging into your account at all.

i see no point for an app really?
i train on my old 4s, my new 6 and on my ipad mini and have no issue at all especially with the new update.
I was having issues the past few days on my ipad even connecting to the site but i think it was just something wrong with the browser. 

I think the only think I think I would really like as of now is to be able to send off registrations for clubs/associations easier. kind of like what the pending page looks like. 
basically click a link to "register animals" and then just click boxes next to the names to register. 
but thats just me?
