Improve Acorn Small Tweak: Now you can see who has read your content

[diablo]

Do you wish to do the best possible business? .. A person who doesn't post his domains here, or doesn't talk here (while representing his brand) = is missing out.

Sadly, I don't think that's the case any more.

Analytics and more data are always needed when you do business. Don't you agree?

Just because you can measure something, doesn't mean it's useful to do so.

You've been told by several members though that they have reduced their activity, which in turn leads to less business.

A practical example as to why personally I am uncomfortable browsing with this feature. What if prior to this feature the way I use the forum is just to keep up to date with the market and view all of the for sale posts. Previously you'd be able to just click through the list and get on with your day. Now with this feature you have the risk of two things, one the owner of the domain directly messaging you and two being spam further down the line of someone with a similar domain trying to sell a different domain.

So now I have personally adjusted how I browse these forums, I am not interacting with these posts due to the above scenario, as someone who has spent comfortably over £10k on domains from this forum it's lost a potential buyer, based on the replies above it's lost numerous. A good feature should increase engagement and visibility which based on public opinion this has not done.


It doesn't show that it has quality users though, that's done by people posting. If anything it's leading to potential confusion, you've got the typical "views" that show as of right now 494 views. However there are only 36 members who have viewed the thread.

Hi, thank you for the explanation. If this feature really pisses you off, no worries - we will remove this.

Best wishes! Helmuts

[Update] I have fully removed this feature.

Thank you for expressing your opinions - these help building better Acorn Domains for all us.

Is there some functionality you would like to see instead?

Great Sunday evening all! H

Thank you for your time explaining your point to me. This feature has been removed.

It is valuable to get good feedback.

Best! H

To be honest this hadn't even occurred to me, but yes, that would be very annoying and something I could totally see happening.

So from that perspective, thanks to Helmuts for listening to the objections!

You can always try something more anonymous like this
