Enhancements to Who’s Online Now
It’s normally the first thing you hit on gay dating sites - the Who’s Online button! (Called Who’s Onboard on Mothership)
Mothership’s Who’s Online has been carefully designed to deliver information to you quickly and clearly. At a glance you can see the other guys onboard, their role, whether they are looking for sex, friendship or a date, if they have photos and even their cock size.
After experimenting with several different formats we order first by membership status, and then by age, so you can quickly find other gay guys in the age group you’re interested in.
The accuracy of your information is crucial so we’ve just added a brand new function to quickly change your online settings. You can see it at the top of Who’s Onboard, and basically it quickly brings together in one place all the elements of your online setting.
So, if you’re no longer looking for a relationship but just for mates for instance, you can easily change it there and then instead of tracking back to ‘customise profile’. Likewise if you’ve decided you’re up for some action you can easily change your handle from ‘just hanging out’ to ‘looking to meet up’ without going back to the airlock.
Easy!
While we’re on the subject it would be great to see more members make use of the ‘headline’ function. This is your chance to say something individual about why you’re online. Witty comments brighten up everyone’s day. There are also some default settings too like ‘away from my computer’ or whether or not you can accommodate.
