Most swinger websites have on site messages or mail to allow users to exchange messages back and forth. The problem with these websites is the online message system is not very user friendly.

Let me explain what I mean. Lets say you go to your mailbox on the website. You will see a list of messages in your inbox and you have some links to show different folders like deleted mail and sent mail.

This seems to be the standard way that most dating and swinger websites work. Then you click on a message and you move to another page that shows the message. On the view message page they usually have links on top or bottom that allow the user to move from message to message.

The mailbox itself will only have the most basic folders. Inbox, Sent mail, Deleted Mail.

It will not usually have the ability to create- new folders.

Why does it work this way? Because all of these websites were written almost 10 years ago. Lets face it, this is the old school way of doing things. The message system should work more like most email applications do.

When you click on a message, you can view it in a window pane below. You know outlook style email. In this way, you can move from message to message without switching pages over and over again. Also the mailbox page should show the folders in a tree view like outlook does and also have the ability to create- new folders.

The user should also be able to move mail from folder to folder with ease. The page should also have adjustable splitters like outlook has as well. You know the bars that will let you size the tree view or read pane or message list to the desired size for ease of reading messages.

Well, all of this sounds great but can it be done on a swinger website? You bet it can. Not only have we done it but we have taken it one step further and we even allow the user to adjust the column widths of each item in the mail list. Thats right everything on the page can be adjusted to suit your own preference and you can even reply to a message without ever leaving the mailbox.

It will take it to the next level. You will be able to read and answer your messages in no time at all. Our message system will also support attachments much like outlook does. You will be able to attach any picture from your profile and even attach a picture that is not in your profile. Our read message pane will not only let you view the message but it will work like a gallery page as well. When sending a message with our system you will use a rich text editor that will support HTML, tables, links, text formating, fonts, colors, bullets, emoticons, preview message, view message HTML and best of all it even includes a spell checker and much much more. You will also be able to add the user to your contacts or add the mail message to your notes or even schedule a meeting. It will also support printing the message.

You will even be able to send SMS messages to cell phones. You will have an option to send the complete message to your regular email or just get a notification or send nothing to your email account. Talk about a better message system. This is like nothing else you have seen yet. It is something you should love.

With the time ticking away, we still have a lot of work left to do but we have really created a website like no other you have ever seen before.

Keep those email messages coming, we love hearing from everyone with words of support and suggestions. Please note: We no longer need any more beta testers we have a great group of about 50 people that we have been working with, however if you still would like to be a beta tester please email me directly and I will attempt to find a spot for you if someone else drops out. All beta testers will get a free lifetime membership even if they have not been selected as part of the testing group. Meaning if you have made yourself available for the program you will automatically get the membership when we rollout even if you have not tested a single page, however you must email me with your willingness to participate in the program.

We have been getting a lot of email from people asking what our beta testing program is all about so I will attempt to describe how it works.

Our beta testing program is very structured and it may require you to test a single page over and over for several possible problems. It could mean testing a page will lots of fields for each and every possibility. Looking for misspelled words, problems with the functionality, problems with the interface etc.

In the event problems have been found, you would need to document the steps you took so we can reproduce the problem. Then when we fix the problem, you will need to verify that the problem has been resolved. That is it in a nutshell.
