Hi. When you go to the new https://simplero.com/dashboard because you want to visit some of the sites you are a member of... The intuitive thing is to click on 'Sites'. When clicking on a Site on the dashboard. The logical thing to expect would be to go to the homepage/main page of that site. As it is now, you are instead sendt to a dashboard for that site. Where you are shown a (messy) overview of the the files and courses on that site. Please. If you want to direct people to a dashboard - then call it "dashboards" in the menu... If you want to call it 'Sites' in the menu, then please direct people to the actual site and not to a dashboard. Personally I would prefer to have 'Sites' in menu of the https://simplero.com/dashboard and let my customers get directed to the frontpage/homepage/main page of that membership site. We use the old experience with a top menu. Maybe it is a different experience for the accounts that uses the new community-style membership sites (either way.. please comment to share your preferences so we can giver our customers the best experience possible) :) When this is said I would also like to say - it is awesome to see how Simplero is improving and developing every day 😍 Thanks a lot for always improving 🙌 Siif

Our customers logging into our sites -- are not dealing with bank data or anything that needs super strict privacy right? So please make the login cookie (or whatever is used to recognize sessions) more persistent, and less logging in necessary, if possible 🙏🏼 Additionally: "Keep me logged in" toggle should be turned ON by default. If cannot do that, then is it possible that once "keep me logged in" is turned on, they are automatically logged in without having to click the "log in" button? Thank you!

In the updated blog design for the new community experience, the overview of posts have video thumbnails that are shown with rounded corners and 16:9 format, while image thumbnails are not cropped to 16:9 Would it be possible to make the image formats for thumbnails consistent? See annontation (2) in the attached image for an example.

This caused a massive amount of confusion for me, probably for everyone who has used this platform and probably everyone using in the future since this is not explicitly explained anywhere and is totally antithetical to how a normal site setup would be. As it sits right now, the main site has to be public, which means if I am using Simplero for a membership site or courses or whatever (which literally is the main focus of the software), I am then forced to have a second domain or forced to use a subdomain to actually house the locked down content on a separate membership site instance to house my membership content. Why?? If I have one domain and pay for Simplero to host my membership site, why can my main domain not actually be my locked down membership site? I know of no other software that makes the main site as virtually useless as this software seems to make it where it basically has to be a glorified splash page and forces your real business on a subdomain or alternate domain. Again perfectly fine if I am building a normal website for information that is free and then people buy, great, but for a course or membership site that the system is built for I actually cannot do that on my main domain. What? Why do I have to have mysite.com and then be forced to have lockeddown.mydomain.com Why? Why not allow locking pages down and let me have mydomain.com/lockeddown be the members only content? So I get it is not the end of the world, and by no means a real stumbling block assuming you understand the need to use a subdomain. I have a ton of domains I can use a subdomain I get it but seems really weird to not be able to use my main domain for its God given purpose. Maybe I'm not the only one that is confused by this limitation.

When a user goes to the Login page... what if they don't have an account yet? It's totally unclear how they would create an account. Check out the login page of Facebook or LinkedIn -- using an incognito window -- and notice that they allow a create account option as well. I wish to see this with Simplero :)

We need a more logical login process and clear navigation to and between membership sites. Many customers struggle to find their content due to 2 problems. Problems and Solutions Confusing login process Problem: Customers receive their Simplero ID and password, but they are automatically logged in via magic links and redirected to the sales page. On the sales page, some customers search in vain for a "Log In" menu item, while others believe they are already on their membership site and search for their content without realizing the navigation to membership sites is hidden behind the profile icon. Solution: Stop using magic links in the "Here is your Simplero ID" email, and avoid explicitly listing the membership sites customers have access to. Instead, direct customers to a login page where they must use their (possibly pre-filled) login credentials. After logging in, customers should land on a "You Are Logged In" distribution page, providing a clear and visually appealing overview of all their membership sites, similar to app version 1. This distribution page should be inspired by the "Your Account" page but improved with intuitive buttons and links to membership sites, as customers do not realize they can click on images in the current version. Provide customization options via the page builder, including welcome text and an introduction video. Allow irrelevant information, such as sub-courses and distracting menu items, to be hidden to streamline the customer journey to their content. Hidden navigation due to missing menu text Problem: The menu to membership sites is hidden behind a profile icon and lacks explanatory text, making it difficult for customers to find. In the new experience, navigation between membership sites is further degraded. It has been reduced to a small wing without text, and when expanded, it overlaps other menus, creating visual clutter. Solution: Add a clear menu text, such as "Your Membership Sites." Allow administrators to change the text to fit their concept, such as "Club Area," "Your Library," or "Your Online Courses," or hide the text if desired. Move the membership sites menu back to the right-hand side in the new experience to prevent it from overlapping or covering the course navigation menu. Ensure it is visually clear in the new experience that customers can scroll down to see additional menu items if there are more than the top menu box can display, such as with a consistently visible scrollbar on the side. Conclusion By improving the login process, adding a "Your Account"-like distribution page, and making navigation to and between membership sites easy to find with explanatory menu text and a proper placement on the right-hand side, we can eliminate customer confusion and create a more professional and user-friendly experience. This will reduce frustration and save time for both customers and administrators.

Right now the site only creates an ID if you provide some content to a course or a pdf or some other "content" in the content tab. With this requirement, the system will not generate a login to a page or site just becasue they have access to a site. But this to me makes no sense. Why are you requiring a course or some other content to gain access to the site when the site itself could be the content? Again seems to be going against the notion that Simplero is built to be a membership site. If I have locked down pages with information for members that is my membership site, no course, no pdfs just words on a page for members only. Why can that not trigger a login being sent? Why are you forcing me to have a course or other content?

The ability to paste an image directly into a forum post/comment seems to have disappeared on the new site. Previously, a simple ctrl+V into the text body would allow an image to be inserted directly. The new attachment button is cumbersome. Our forum moderators are missing the ease of the ctrl+V function as they deal with hundreds of posts. Front end members also cannot see the full image when attached, whereas the image was in full view when pasting into the text body. Please bring this function back :)

It would be nice to justify the items in the main navigation left, center, or right.

Suggestion: The search function in a membership site would gain a new level of power if it also includes the text in Video Bookmarks for the videos that are included on that membership site.
