Youmeo, the new leaf.

[Janczyk]

Yeah we agree..

Our image system is very complex and we have to plan changes like these carefully. There was hundreds of thousands of images all sorted into different folders/servers etc.

So (again) this is on the todo!

Shouldn't you be working?

Have you got a public to do list like most sites or is it bts?

I'm unsatisfied with Youmeos site.
It has 1 decent developer - Nick.

Meaning restricted work ability and production.
You're aiming to build a social network with 2 people?

Greg - Designer & Web Coder
Nick - Programming etc.
(Forgive me if I'm wrong there)

MySpace & Facebook etc, have a full development team of about 10 people.
You should consider that.

They do have a team... apparently.

I don't know who you are, or where your getting information.

youmeo has 5 developers. (4 full time and 1 p/t)

Facebook have hundreds of developers.

Facebook also secured MILLIONS OF $$ of investment

We're working on it, hopefully you'll love the new BETA in Sept!

Thanks

At the moment, the main incentive is to fix bugs and ensure that the site is efficient and safe to protect our users and make their experience more enjoyable. Naturally, this is a long winded process with lots of testing and listening to feedback from the general public.

People don't work for free unfortunately, we have some interns that come in occasionally to help out but when we're growing it's important to get investment from companies to bring in cash to pay for these developers and designers so our work production is much faster. As has already been mentioned we have one key designer and 4 other coders that produce the site.

Myspace and Facebook are inevitably going to have a large development team. Myspace has over 100 million registered users... we have just over 400,000. They're also going to have more disposable income through advertisement and investment when compared to our site which is just reaching the mark at which ad agencies would be interested in working with companies on our behalf to get advertisements within the site to raise revenue. Then, as other investors see our platform and the development work behind it they too are becoming more interested within the site, its shares and future within the social networking and mobile networking industry.

As has been stated on numerous occasions, bug fixes are in place and are being developed right this moment ready for both the live version of the site and the BETA launch of our fixed up site shortly. Combine this with an apology e-mail that's being set up in regards to the bugs and user experience recently. I am however lucky that our members have remained loyal to the website and our innovative ideas. Especially in a market where user loyalty is extremely low.

We're also lucky to have Nick and Greg onboard who are dedicating a lot of their time and made a huge move down to the midlands.

I was made aware of this forum and it has helped me organise the team for bug fixes however, it would be much appreciated if you took Calums offer up and sent us a list of bugs that you have found because we appreciate the time you have took to find the bugs within the site. It makes our site a lot cleaner and more efficient which is good for an all round experience. I'll be out of the office during next week but if you send me an e-mail with anything you may find i'd be happy to schedule it all in as I probably won't have time to check this forum.

I would also welcome you with open arms into our BETA site if you'd like to test it all out.

Our to-do list is web managed privately but we do have a report a bug feature and you could also drop me an e-mail at [email protected] if you'd like to make me aware of anything you have found so I can schedule it in. Cracking the whip with Greg and Nick at the moment.

Thanks for taking the time to clarify all of that, and I'm glad to see that you are knowledgeable in this topic.

True there with MySpace when you grow bigger with your userbase, I take it you will hire on further team members and more investors?

Cracking the whip with Greg and Nick at the moment.

OOooo. Kinky.

Great to hear someone who actually knows what the problems are and is doing something about it.

I'm still going to keep my judgement on how bad the site is until the beta, when hopefully (and I have extremly high hopes) it will amazing.

[today]

Well then, I think Youmeo has to consider building an alternative image upload system, for users who haven't got Javascript enabled. I like stating the obvious, heh.

Oh ryan, you always state the obvious, all the time!

But it doe sound like all things are getting sorted and we'll have to wait till Sept for the new Beta site!

[Agnostic Bear]

Yeah we agree..

Our image system is very complex and we have to plan changes like these carefully. There was hundreds of thousands of images all sorted into different folders/servers etc.

So (again) this is on the todo!

An image system isn't complex, get image put image store image retrieve image. I assume you have a db with all the stored filenames / md5 hashes ip's etc, if you don't, that's the way to go.
