Filter buttons were back to front (from a consistent user experience perspective)
– We always want the most lower-right-hand button to be the preferred selection choice
– Eg:
Remove the current Location from the Recent Locations panel
– If I am viewing a specific location, eg: https://dronescene.co.uk/where-to-fly-drone/ingram-valley-northumberland/north-east/1473
– Then do not display this very same location in the Recently Added Locations panel:
If it gets too noisy in the next 12 to 24hrs or so I’ll remove the forum cross-posting for the short term, till you’ve all tagged the other locations you’ve flown in
I think the data gathered behind this one could also set the scene for a couple of league tables, if people would be interested?
We could provide a “Top Ten Locations”, a map showing the most popular locations that have been flown by the most amount of members.
And/or a “Most Active Flyers” (or something), a league table of members that have flown in the most locations on Drone Scene. It could get competitive though, proof may be required at some point
Not quite sure where I should post this so here seems logical to me but it’s more of a general forum question rather than a drone scene question but it’s relating to the new drone scene specific category on the forum.
Is it possible to watch a whole category so that I would get a notification of a new topic within the category? As I’d like to keep upto date with things on drone scene but now it’s been moved from a thread that I was watching previously to a category I don’t get notifications when a new topic is posted about drone scene?
The Watching 1st post should keep the noise down, I’m assuming it will only give me a notification for the first initial post of a new topic and not the subsequent replies
I’ve never been a fan of league tables - just a personal thing really as it just seems to be something that excludes - and I say that as someone that is in that table already.
If there are badges, then that doesn’t make any difference to me other than as a recognition that I’ve contributed something o this place. That was my main driver for contributing my flying places to help others as the tool only benefits if more of us do that.
‘Most popular locations’ and ‘Most active fliers’ would be good to see, just from the point of view of providing the information. I’d suggest leaving it at that, though; Drone Scene is a great tool for finding locations and doesn’t need to be competitive as we have plenty of other challenges to keep us going. I think a full league table might possibly lead to locations being posted just to boost someone’s numbers rather than being ‘good’ locations to fly. On the other hand it might encourage people who wouldn’t normally post to go out and find locations, so who knows?
Defo up for a league table, popular locations, and all that.
Just an idea, what about a ‘plan to fly date’. As this would allow meetups.
Example, if I plan to fly next Saturday at my local ‘Barbury Castle’, it will let others know this in advance - who in turn may decide ‘hey, I can make that’. It also may be advantageous to those just starting off, i.e. for those with more experience to shadow them whilst they gain the ropes.
