Hello Fighters,

If you are reading this, you may have already noticed the latest site upgrade! The aim was to move MeetFighters into the new age. As a result, the desktop version got a major overhaul, and the mobile version of the site received an even more significant change. - Yes, it looks different! :)

As more and more users shift toward browsing the site from phones, it has become imperative to improve the mobile experience. This update is a step in that direction.

Profiles

The most notable change is on profile pages.

The updated layout allows you to customize your profile using the new banners. And as thank you to our donating members, they can further customize the banner by choosing a picture from their gallery. New custom controls for the mobile version allow more accessible navigation through the profile, past opponents, pictures, and recommendations without constantly scrolling up and down. In addition, clutter got removed from the profiles with the goal of putting the member's content in the center.

Interest groups

Your Interest Groups were overhauled and sorted by activity. This way you can always see which group is trending. To further improve navigation, we separated the groups from the forums.

The latest update allows you to filter and sort group, so finding the right one for you should be easier.

Other changes

The top of the page uses less space, allowing more actual content to be displayed without scrolling.

The term "Fans" and "Favorite" got renamed to "followers" and "following."

The Settings page got a face lift. It should be much easier to find more obscure features and customize the site to your liking. This includes the new option to customize your banner:

On the "Settings" page, find " Your content", and click on:

If you notice something not working, please contact us, so we can fine-tune the layout over the following days.

We hope you enjoy this overhaul.

Thank you for all your support, and stay safe!
Best Regards,
Admin

Quite disappointing that the number of past opponents has been made so meaningless.
Followers are highlighted, real matches nearly ignored😤

I have to agree. While I like the layout changes overall (will take some time to get used to, but that's fine), I do think a person's past opponents should be highlighted more on the profiles main page. It makes sense that there is a new tab for past opponents, being able to see the number right away was helpful.

I preferred the previous ‘ at a glance’ listing of past opponents. It was efficient, and easy. If I want more info you can tap the pic. The new version is not an improvement where you have to scroll page after page.

The idea is nice but the way it's done, is totally wrong.
When i look at someone for the first time, i couldn't care less how many followers he has. The only thing that matters, after his pics and stats, is how many fights he had and what people are saying about him. For that purpose, the new design is doing exactly the opposite.
The new cover picture is also not needed. It's not Facebook, the informative approach was so much better.
Sorry, I know it was from good intentions, but something went totally sideways

I agree it could use some further work but there are some good elements to it. I like the way the pictures are arranged now but the banner seems to take up a lot of space on desktop at the expense of other things like past opponents as others have mentioned. The BMI also seems to be missing which I found useful. Hopefully some more tweaks to come to keep improving it

While I'm not necessarily against change, I would have to agree with the other members, as to the new layout. Took me a moment to find past opponents on a members page. The little clenched fist icon isn't that intuitive. A simple "past opponents" tab would have worked nicely. Also, I miss the old chat room format. The new one isn't nearly as user friendly. To end on a positive note, this site is still much better than others out there.

No, the number of opponents and recommendations is still accessible without the need to scroll.
Your recommendations review is still there. - It would be crazy of us to delete them.... They even crosslink from your past opponent's list.
Please I appreciate all feedback, but it would help a lot if you can spend a few seconds looking at the page before spending minutes writing a comment about something which is not the case.

Turning one page into four pages is the opposite of an upgrade.

These changes are pretty cool. The mobile changes will take a bit getting used to with the buttons at the bottom; might be a thing you can just add to the main menu at some point, but the clarity on the interface is very nice and welcomed.

The "Who has seen your profile" page is so much easier to read!

The user profile bar on the top having a refresh/reroll rather than scrollbars was also nice!

Also, after I did eventually find the Past Opponents page, I still didn't see the "Mutual Opponents" or "Shared Opponents between You and XXX" section. This was a great feature, and I'd be very disappointed to see it removed entirely. Is it just hiding?

"This is Meetfighters not twitter nor facebook." - yes, I completely agree! Please Admin: stop turning this into a fight-twitter. Many of my favourites I don't actually follow – I do not care about their daily lives, their events, etc. I just treat those as bookmarks, to mark guys for future reference when I am looking to travel for matches. The interaction between users is identical on the surface – but the meaning is different. And the meaning is dictated by the words/labels – that is why words are used, to convey a meaning mutuall understood between parties.

Also, if Meetfighters turns into another twitter of facebook or similar, then I worry old members will dislike it, and new members will think "oh, it's just another twitter/facebook, just not as good... why bother, use the real thing instead". :(

About Past opponents - on the desktop version, they are linked on the very top and with one click you see a full detailed list, sorted by opponents which are linked to you. And the opponents are also linked to the recommendations - if they wrote one.
The old layout put the opponents somewhere in the middle of the profile page, you needed to scroll and find them.

  • Now the profile page is purely about YOU.
  • The total number of opponents and recommendations is on the top of the page visible
  • The detailed opponent list is dedicated to all your opponents. (It is no longer called past opponents, just opponents...)
  • The Followers are limited to a maximum of 7 - it no longer shows a useless list of 100 or more follower names.
    • To see this list you need to scroll all the way down to the end of the profile page. While again the opponents got their own dedicated button right on the top.
    • So I'm not sure where the perception is created we give followers more weight than opponents? Maybe you missed the tab?
  • The layout on mobile is slightly different but follows the same principle.

I understand that it might be more convenient to 'glue' the followers to the end of the profile, as it was before. But with the dedicated button, it should be much easier to find them - instead of scrolling, you click... And gives more flexibility in the future to add additional sorting buttons.

Thanks for all your time and effort working towards improving the site. Change can always be tough - more for some than for others - and some of the changes may just take a little time to adjust to, and perhaps appreciate.

As you point out the past opponents are right up on top, along with recommendations. The font size / presentation is not as prominent as the numbers were in the prior layout - but that is something that I believe all could get used to after a few days.

I agree that followers are not as important, and they are at the bottom. I believe the comments are based on seeing seven pics for past followers and no pics of past opponents on the main page, but that could be solved by returning the followers to being a list of names instead of pics - if it is really an issue. (It is not an issue for me, though having pics for 7 random followers on the main page is not really providing any real benefit.)

So again, thanks for all your time and effort.

By the way, one thing that I have noticed is there is no link to see the full list of followers on a profile. It looks like the 8th circle would be a link to the rest, but there is no link (at least that I see).

And as a suggestion for something that could be improved (from the prior version too): When clicking the Photos link from the site homepage, and seeing all the posted photos (most recent first), I would like the profile name under each photo to be able to hovered over, to have the same location and other summary info displayed that is displayed when you hover over the pics of the most recent donors and the pics shown at the top of the pages as you navigate the site.

Not sure where all the negativity about past opponents is coming from. On the desktop version, there is still the number of them right at the top of the page, just over an icon versus the words “Past Opponents”. Instead of jumping you down the page, to the list that you could have scrolled to, it loads a new page with all the past opponents in a search results like page with their location, stats and if they recommended you. On mobile, they are on a banner menu that stays fixed at the bottom of the screen. I would think this would lead to faster page loads and is more information overall. Thanks for the updates,

The write-up of these updates is quite ironic. I feel like I have to scroll up and down far more now that these changes have been made and I feel like the mobile experience is now much worse than it was before. My problem is that some of these changes are good and some are bad, but by doing all of these changes all at once, you've created too many usability issues.

Assuming y'all actually listen to your users, here's my (non-comprehensive) list of issues:
-Banners take up so much space that you can't see important info
-The additional click to access past opponents adds too much friction for a common action
-I have yet to even find where favorites are (the fact that there's an additional button click is again, too much friction)
-On mobile, you can't add photos unless you go into settings (previously, you could do it right from the profile)
-By turning the profile info into a table, it takes up far more space and makes it harder to find what you need quickly

Final notes: Is there a way for us to provide feedback on these sorts of changes BEFORE they happen? By performing some level of user research/beta testing, you'd remove all of the negative feedback you're getting.

Thanks for all that you all do and apologies for the criticism, I love this website and all y'all do, but this destruction of every common user path is driving me up a wall and it hasn't even been a full hour.

Sincerely,

One thing I will echo to emphasize is I want to be able to find my favorites easier. When I follow/favorite someone it isn't because I find them hot, it's because I want to keep track of them so that if I travel to their area I remember to contact them for a match which is easier than going through a whole locale, reading every profile to remind myself who was interesting to me.

Is there a way to make it optional whether you want the new or the old layout? I'd definitely take the old one as this new one is messy. The intentions are definitely good but the execution is not. You don't have a quick overview of the past opponents anymore and it has definitely faded into the background. Past opponents and recommendations are the most important information in a profile besides pics and stats.
What I like though is the ratio of positive and negative recommendations on top of the page. That could easily be implemented in the old Layout though

"The list with full details of "Who is in chat" can be accessed over the Chat (and a button in the Chat itself "Search Users") "

Clicking on the link to Chat in the upper left brings you straight into the chatroom without going to the "Who's in chat" page first. It appears the difference is a case-sensitive link:

https://www.meetfighters.com/Chat (upper case 'C') brings you to the "Who's in chat" page

https://www.meetfighters.com/chat (lower case 'c') brings you directly to the Chat room.

Is there some other page to access the "Who's in chat" page from?

The followers stuff makes more sense for Twitter, but on a personals/dating site like this one, it looks something related to "stalking" and such. I prefer when we used to call it "fans".

Will see how the changes settle down. Thanks for making the effort guys! At the moment when I click on the See ( + number) More in photos section of any profile, including my own, nothing happens except the display scrolls to the top of the profile. (Using either iPad Pro or iPhone 11) Maybe this is a known glitch, or I’m doing something wrong.

This is certainly different but we will all get used to it in short order. I must admit I wasn’t a fan when I first saw the changes but I am warming to them now.

I do think the person’s location should be more prominent and should be listed before the pictures, not after.

I understand the commitment and the good intentions behind all of this, however I mostly agree with Dcotter and, on the whole, I have the sensation that this "revamp" is not an improvement at all. In terms of suitability.

- First there are some issues still on the mobile version, like davey123 says, when you click on show more (even on your own pics) nothing basically happens. - (OK it's fixed). And, in general, I find the mobile version quite problematic to use.

Second, as somebody mentioned, I don't see any point in splitting what you can see in 1 page into 3-4 more pages.

The way the ex opponents are displayed is everything but comfortable, you have to scroll down the icons and even me, not having a large amount of past matches, find troublesome watching them all.

The followers / following matter: I found this very handy before. Trying to get this webpage adjusted to other platforms criterias, like instagram, unfortunately, lead to the same issues. Checking your own followers it is impossible, so if you don't know who are them is totally useless to display them at all. Your favourites are not even available on your own page, you have to open the administration section. And I agree this shouldn't be (in theory) the core element to be highlighted on a profile, however as my favourites are supposedly the people I interact more, I found quite handy to have them on my page, as a list, at the time I had to write to them.

In general, and I'm not referring only to this webpage, I can't understand this urgency to omologate to other platforms or apps. I mean this recently happened with other webpages, and I don't find interesting having the sensation I'm practically using the same dynamics over and over.

Now, the perception is that everything concerning past opponents, reviews, friend list, has become more similiar to instagram, taking away value to people by downgrading them into numbers and icons as you can barely check properly.
This aspect, like instagram, might have an impact - hopefully I'm wrong - on social interactions, encouraging users just into enhancing ther profile by increasing their own followers no matter who they are and, as a consequence, interact less with people and meet. As well as it's happening already on the mentioned app.

The banner itself doesn't bother me, however it resembles a well known social platform. It didn't occur to you that maybe, sometimes, users are relieved while using something different?

I also agree on the fact that perhaps a Beta or a survey aimed to ask for our opinion beforehand would have led to a better and satisfying result.

On the other hand I really like the new lay out for pictures.

While I really like the new design overall, past opponents should be something that is prominent on your profile page. I thought it was gone at first. Feels like it’s taken a back seat, even though it’s one of the first things people like to check out when considering arranging a match with someone. I’ve never even paid much attention to the “fans” and “fan of” section.

Where this website has always succeeded is in its safety. Past opponents and recommendations may not result in my favourite wrestler being yours as well, but it will alert you if I thought a guy was dangerous or unreliable.

I’m glad to see that since the announcement past opponents has been given the prominence it deserves (I only use mobile not desktop so can’t speak for what is going on there).

I agree with the other comments about followers. I don’t see what the point is or why it is given any shelf space on the main page.

If I had a choice, 60 past opponents and recommendations with no fans. Or no past opponents and 60 fans, the former is my choice. As it tells me more.

When you click the CHAT link you no longer list who is in the chat by LOCATION! Can you please bring this feature BACK! It's impossible to know in the Chat page where everyone is located unless you click on EACH individual person. That is ridiculous! You use to list everyone by LOCATION which made it MUCH easier for me to pick out who I want to chat with. Please bring that initial page back!!!

Thank you for the lots of work. I like the new profile layout, including the background banner.

I am using the site exclusively on desktop, and would like to have the option to return to single-column lists: single column lists allow you to absorb information by keeping your eyes looking at one spot on the screen while scrolling the list by using the mouse – one continuous, effortless flow with fixed eyes. Multi-column lists however force my eyes to continuously go in a zig-zag ("Z") pattern while looking through the list, which is much more difficult and much slower.

Thank you in advance.

I don't like it. The main problem is that about 80 percent of the time after I load the site, I can't click on anything, like the round thumbnails at the top or the drop-down arrow to show the menu for logging in. Sometimes I do manage to get logged in and I see that I have messages, but I can't get to them. In all of these instances with happens is that when I hover my cursor over the thumbnail image or the drop-down arrow, the cursor doesn't turn into a hand, meaning there's something there that can be clicked. Sometimes when I manage to log, I can't log out; all I can do is close the browser and try again. Also, I miss the nicely populated row of circular thumbnails along the top of the page. Now there are only like three or four thumbnails.

On mobile, the number of PO's is part of the button, and if you open the page it is visualized in a graphic. (progress par)
The shared opponents are still there, but hard to spot I agree.
The PO list is actually sorted by shared opponents first. Then other opponents. But a label would be better to make it more clear.

Now that the new layout is in place, we will redo and add more filter options such as on top of the Chat page, and bring this over to the PO list and other parts of the page.
Another option would be to add different views for the POs and other lists.
But that will take some days or weeks until everything settles down.

You have to scroll down to get where someone is located.

Before the changes a members page was quick to look at. You can see easily his past opponent history, Recs, stats and where located—. Boom -

Loveing -
the addition of the notification bell for updates to forms and groups instead of reading multiple notification emails.

The profile toolbar at the bottom makes things a little cleaner when trying to sort through and scroll through a person's profile.

Not liking -
Seeing the total distance between you and other members that you were looking at.

The profile pictures being bigger than thumbnails looks odd as it takes longer to scroll through and makes the page look awkward.

The badges with the profile picture is kind of redundant when you have it so close to the actual profile picture.

The banner does make your profile look clunkier in placement to the profile picture

About beta:
We are not big enough to make a sizeable professional beta.
(we tried it once, and the amount of work to spin up a beta site and the collected feedback were in no relationship to each other.)
You need professional beta testers who take the job seriously. Just inviting everyone is not practical. And for a closed beta, you must be fortunate to get the right people.
And we don't have the funds to pay professional beta testers.

Consider this update the final version or a beta. *shrug* ;) - A website is never done :)
Countless bug fixes and minor adjustments were rolled out in the past 48h.

And one thing is for sure; this was not the last update :)

And if you think we should never change or update, let me remind you on MeetFighters 2012:
[IMAGE:https://www.meetfighters.com/Content/profile/ib/xgvokwkthdxxhoibybth_1388184598.jpg]

*Good* old times - glad they are over. ;)

it's OK I suppose, but preferred the old -a-glance-format. Not an improvement in my opinion. Your making it less and less accessible. (New members may not realise some options are available). Saying that it is still a better and more user friendly site than many others(Facebook springs to mind). Also I appreciate the good intentions and hard work that go into making these changes. But was there any real need for it ? When I first joined over 10 years ago I thought it was the best thought out and user friendly site ever and you had so many more and better features than Globalfight, my concern is we are moving away from that with each "improvement".

Hey there admin peeps - thanks for the continued work to make this place so user friendly. I have an ask - when using the search feature, is it possible to filter when searching via a map? So enter your specific requirements and then instead of just having a list, you can see where those guys are on a map? I travel a fair amount and whilst it’s easy to locate people based on large well known cities, some members use their town. That means you have to back and forth with Google Maps to determine if they’re anywhere near you. Improving the existing map feature would remove this friction. If it’s already possible to do this and I’ve simply not discovered it - please do let me know :-) Thanks once again. Xx
