Announcement

Dear WatZatSong Community,

We hope this message finds you well.

First and foremost, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and dedication to WatZatSong.com. It's been an incredible journey, filled with countless moments of musical discovery and camaraderie. Your contributions to our community have been nothing short of extraordinary.

Now, we know it's been a while since we last gave our beloved website a fresh coat of paint. Eighteen years, to be exact. And we hear you – it's time for a change. That's why we're excited to announce that we're rolling up our sleeves and diving headfirst into a full-scale revamp of WatZatSong.com!

What does this mean for you? Well, get ready for a sleek, modern redesign that's as easy on the eyes as it is intuitive to navigate. We're cooking up some exciting new features that will take your song-naming adventures to new heights. And rest assured, we're not just focusing on looks – our team is hard at work behind the scenes to ensure that everything runs smoother and faster than ever before.

But here's the best part: none of this would be possible without you. Your passion for music is what drives us forward, and your feedback is what keeps us grounded. We want to hear from you every step of the way – What do you love about WatZatSong? What could we do better? Email us at [email protected] anytime. Consider this revamp as much yours as it is ours.

While we're eager to bring these changes to life, we want to be transparent: this process may take quite some time. So, we kindly ask for your understanding and patience.

Thank you again for being a part of our community. Here's to many more years of music discovery and friendship!

Warm regards,
WatZatSong Team

"Starts following" in the [Right now] section

Post by bruno81 »

"Starts following" in the [Right now] section should be deleted. It takes up a lot of space in this section and is of no interest

Totally agree with Bruno, only the "commented", "posted" and "answered" are necessary in the "recent activity" part. On my profile and at my request I don't see the "following starts" and it's much better to follow what is happening on the site.

Thank you Katy for the feedback. We will discuss it in more details via email if you don't mind.

What a shame... I use it often. It's a good way to discover interesting older samples, but those that some newer members are also interested in. And, since I saw people start following same older requests someone else followed before them, it seems like I am not the only one using that feature.
I hope you will consider the idea I mentioned in the feedback thread. Separating Recent Activity into tabs (new samples, comments, follows, etc.), or in case it's staying the same size, a drop-down menu (like the one for choosing genres) could work. That would solve this (simply never click on the "new follows" tab).

Speaking of following, can you add the option to sort samples in our (and others') Pending Follows differently? I think it would be nice if we could choose to sort them in the order we started following them, from latest follows, to earliest (and vice versa).

Sure. We will be also adding some additional filters that will help to sort the content you want to see better.

I'd keep the "starts following" also for the reason provided by librarian.

Yeah, I'd personally split the "recent activity" list in two. Five showing comments, posts and answers; and other five for follows.

This is actually the way we will most likely do it. Will be split into different tabs
