SITE REVIEW: Answers Site

Hello,
its a new Question & Answers site like as Yahoo answers & Google answers.

home page : http://www.answerg.com



users earn points for posting answers.

i am going to create user profile more advanced. so users can communicate with others.
other than that ,please review my site.

thank you.

The site looks great and your php, javascript skills looks good.
But you will have security issues if that site gets big.


http://www.answerg.com/includes/ <-- wide open. Showing all filenames etc.

set folder permission right (alt put a blank index.php file there), that would make it a bit harder to lurk out all filenames at least.
Right now I can even see the exact code of your form validation.
Thats unnecessary.

I think the (Question Resolved) and (new answer) thing is very good thou. And I find the searching of your site to be quick and smart.

the ability to get a close up of peoples faces when clicking on one would be a extra future you could consider!

Out of curiosity.. what does the G stands for in answerG?

thanks for the reply. yes i will fix that security errors.

lol, your quick on the security fix... either that or I just got on that one moment when it was processing haha... 1 second I got on there and then I refreshed and 403 header... good job

Good design and it validates... that's great. I don't see very often sites that validate so it's kind of a celebration for me when I stumble on a valid site

Nice idea... (the site I mean). There are a few interesting answers out there... read a few

Maybe give the option (for the registered users) to hide their names from publicity (at least for non-registered users)? Gives them a bit more privacy... otherwise, its all good

hi Bogey,
thanks for the review. and yes.i was fixing that permission error when you are on the site.

will make the changes for registered users.

God design and it validates... that's great. I don't see very often sites that validate so it's kind of a celebration for me when I stumble on a valid site.The site looks great and your php, javascript skills looks good.

Couple of quick comments on look/feel.

I think you've overused the "reflection" effect in your main logo. It makes it look a little messy. I'd at least remove the effect from the "beta" and the "ask what you need. share what you know"

Users images looked warped. I think this detracts from the overall professionalism of the site.

UVBoy - thanks. good information. i've removed those too much reflection effects. will do something like croping tool when uploading for user images. so it will be ok.
thanks again.

Great job you have done. I like the design very much. Why didn't you still increased your page rank. Take steps to improve your page rank and advertise your site. Your website will definitely become very popular like yahoo answers.

hey, the site is excellent. I want to share an issue about the site, while i was registering, i didn't fill in the right 'verification code', so the new page should have only the code box resetted, but all the fields got resetted. So it is a bit of inconvinence, to fill in all the fields, so i guess, when the new page comes, it should have only the error field and the password field resetted, all other fields should have their original value! And i asked a question, but that question didn't appear anywhere...

web01 - i tested the question and it works very well. and about that registration page.. yes. i must correct that.

Um... what happened to the valid site? Why do I see errors on it

I got where the problem is: when you write just the question, and don't fill in any description, then it does not appear, so i guess, this should not be there, giving description details should be kept optional!

web01 - yes , i noticed that.
Bogey - i will be fixing the validation soon.

I'd better move Question Categories to the top
