If you could fix any one bug on Grab.com...

If I could fix just ONE bug on Grab.com, I'd fix...

Well, the "missing" photos and always-visible profile counter would be nice. But that's already posted in the Feedback forum.

Email notification of blog comments? Not actually that big a deal, as I use an RSS Feed Reader (in particular, Sharp Reader) to keep track of blog updates, which includes comment count. They do come in handy when I want to be alerted of a new comment in someone else's blog whose feed I don't normally subscribe to. Or friends-only blogs, as those will not come with a (public) RSS feed.

But the answer to this question would probably have to be: Blog Stats

Everyone on Grab has something they're a little more obsessed with than anything else on the site. For many, it's grabbles (hey, I was once amongst those!). For others, it's the good conversation and camaraderie to be found on the boards, often a good, healthy debate. For yet others, it's the pursuit of some sort of popularity and recognition, whether in the form of karma, Grab "royalty", or the quest for (even usage of) a badge and powers that elevate their stature above others.

For me, it's blogs. They are the feature I hold most dear to me here on Grab. I'll expand on that sometime in the future, as I recall seeing an old BID that deals with your favorite feature on Grab-- guess what my answer will be :-D

Another thing I enjoy is number-crunching. Which is why the various statistics involved in blog stats are interesting to me. They've been a little iffy and I'm not sure I altogether trust the numbers I've been seeing ever since my Gold membership (and the ability to view these stats again) was resurrected.

So, in short... I'd love to see this feature working properly :-D

Good answer! I would like to see the All-Stars be recalculated as many of the Top Blog Views are those users who have not been on in a while or have deleted thier blog posts alltogether!

Karma is another thing I'd like see change. I don't know whose been karma bashing, but it needs to stop!

Oh, I heartily agree on that one! Seems like it's been frozen for a while, as I see user A ahead of user B even though it's obvious user B has had far more viewers this past week and user A has fallen silent for months!

A fellow number cruncher eh!?

I agree the all stars seem a little wonky, I should have kept a reocrd of who had won and who was ineligible, cos by my reckoning Skyrider should have won this week, don't know though whether he was eligible or not though...

If I could fix any one thing? Well getting high scores to register would be good, I seem to rem sending every one that didn't to you *lol* just to make a point!

Apart from that, well I'd like Grab to become more friendly. A lot of threads, not just the obvious one seem to be degenrating into mudslinging and insults. On the feedback board especially. Me I just want a nice quiet life....honest ;-)

Cheers
Charlie

Oh yes :-) I think I'm in the wrong profession!

And yes, I thought Sprout's unwitting "tax season" comment on Feedback was especially appropriate.

LOL-- oh yes, I do remember you sending me the non-registering high scores, if I remember correctly, they were sent in the form of challenges? Hehe-- nifty way of keeping record ;-)

Friendlier Grab? Don't I wish! Not as long as it's an accurate reflection of (offline) society today :-/

I just noticed another glitch,

Have you checked the profiles counts, didn't some of us reset them?

Grrrrrrr

Hmmm... another bio section! Let's see... what could I possibly say that's new/different from stuff you could read in my profile?

Well, I'm a happy Grabber who became addicted to blogging as soon as Grab blogs came out. I hope you enjoy my musings, boring stories of my life, memes and random quiz results :-)

Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
