Ways Indianpad Can Be Made Better
Gautam Dev
I used to post a lot indianpad when I had not much to do. Since then I have slowed down a lot.
Also with four websites to maintain and a job, it is simply not possible to compete with all the
new young guys/girls. But I do have some ideas for indianpad to become better.
Here are some of the ways www.indianpad.com can be made better.
Get rid of off the adult sections altogether. Come on, do we really need it. There are so many ways to
get that kind of stuff in the net.
Make some broad categories, e.g India, World, Technology, etc. I know there are lots of categories. But I think we need some
broad categories.
Change the ad showing algorithm. When I log in as myself and click of my story, I see my ad always. When I log out
and do the same thing I see some other ads. It may be a clever technique, but it is obviously wrong. Why should I see
my ad? Other people may want to see my ad while I may want to see other ads.
Again about the adult section. It is hidden from general public alright. But when I look at any user's profile adult stories he
has voted for or sent still shows up. IMO, adult links should alway be hidden from general public.
There is no way to know when the story was published on the home page or it made it to the homepage at all.
Convert any url to a hyperlink in the comment or body of the story automatically. This is always a pain to convert all the url to a link.
This is not hard.
Remove the 'bad description' as a reason to flag a story. I never understood it. We always post links to other stories. Writing
a long winded description is not always necessary or possible. But I do agree there should be a reasonable title.
Remove the header at the top when I viewing a story. If at all you want to keep it, have a link there so I can come to the page
I came from. Right now, clicking on the IP logo at the left corner always brings me to the home page.
