Durango Posted May 12, 2018 Author Posted May 12, 2018 Hi Actually it's not a "tactic" or anything bad, it's actually making people's life easier Example : when you discover a new website, and want to post content quickly, you dont want to spend long time registering first, then finding back the page you were previously where you wanted to reply or post etc... This website is a major french website : 100 millions visits / month, its like eBay : https://www.leboncoin.fr Look at the SEO stats : https://fr.semrush.com/fr/info/leboncoin.fr They have improved by *50 times the users engagement How ? by allowing visitors to post BEFORE register, see here : https://www.leboncoin.fr/ai/form/0 the submit form to post first and look at the end, they are asking for username & email so that at the same time you are posting your account is created >> This is a game changer feature
AlexWebsites Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 I'd like to see a feature like this as well, I see vbulletin forums with this feature where a guest can type their comment and then register quickly to post it.
Durango Posted June 24, 2018 Author Posted June 24, 2018 I plan to make another topic with more details and case studies so that IPS Admins realize how much this would be a game changer for all of us
PacmanDo Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 This is a great idea. Looking forward to it being in 4.3 along with the Clubs paid subscription being improved so it actually works effectively and makes a Commerce purchase worthwhile.
maddog107_merged Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Wouldnt keep our hopes up ? I may be willing to pay some $ to a dev to make something like this.
Durango Posted August 11, 2018 Author Posted August 11, 2018 Tx guys, indeed i think many do not realize how much this would be a game changer for all of us
Fosters Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 I think that too many people expect too much from such a feature. We coded this for a customer and we were also using it for one of our own boards and we expected much better results than what we saw in the last 1/2 year. There was indeed some valuable new content, but from our own experience we can say that only 30% of the guests used it. The other 70% were spambots just posting their bulls#$% or human spammers posting links to their sites. I guess that’s the normal automated spam content, which everybody experiences with guest submittable textfields.

Do you have metrics on signups before/after and maybe posts per day before/after? Spambots are a pain but I guess we would need to implement strong captchas or something to make this viable.

I would buy it.
Durango Posted August 12, 2018 Author Posted August 12, 2018 We have some clients who developed this on their communities (huge websites) and they have seen a HUGE effect The problem is time : people dont have time, they want to participate to communities but they are discouraged when they see they have to : - register first - find a password - note their password somewhere - check their email to validate - come back on the topic they wanted to reply to - remember what they wanted to say at the first place etc etc we are losing TONS and TONS of users every day with this archaic way of doing People want to SAY what they want to SAY FIRST, they dont have time to wait, THEN and only THEN they are ok to give an email & password, as they want their post to be published
maddog107_merged Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 So I have a dev that offered to do it for $185. You guys willing to chip in? Ill throw it up on the marketplace once its done if you guys are.

maddog107_merged Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 @openfire @Durango and everyone else. Can you please provide me the exact requirements that you are looking for? The dev is starting to work on this but wants to know the exact feature set we are looking for. Please let me know ASAP. Thanks
SammyS Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 I´d wait until 4.4 features being announced. If this is not included, Im in

SoloInter Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Ça fait 2 ans que ça doit sortir "très bientôt".
Durango Posted August 29, 2018 Author Posted August 29, 2018 as some requested, here is how it looks like (on a major french forum) : https://voyage.linternaute.com/forum/canada-24002/new look at how it is so well implemented : https://voyage.linternaute.com/forum/affich-20568782-difficile-de-choisir-entre-la-guadeloupe-et-la-martinique the reply box appears right after the first topic (question) : (votre réponse) when you click on it, it generates the full ajax reply box with message first and then at the end : username / email
Silnei L Andrade Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Thanks for this topic. I was looking for something about this because I thought it would be very productive to put the link to a form in the Instagram Bio of our community so that people could send reports of their trips. That would make it much easier. After submitting the topic the user could click on a quick register button. The content of this submission could have the option of being moderate or not. Having a submission form as it works in Facebook groups at the beginning of the topic list in fluid mode would also help a lot.
Joel R Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Unconfirmed rumor that this will be available in 4.4.0.
