I like myLot. There are no other site which gives money to users for do discussions, asking questions, etc. If there are similar sites somewhere in the big internet, it's the oldest and most trusted site.
BUT!
It looks like an undemanding, insignificant site with obsolete design. Sorry for that criticism, but most of the new visitors might think that this site is a result of a weekend hobby coding. At least the small pictures of the big topics could be better control. Many of them dimmed, distorted.
In 2013 when most of the website is using HTML5 a site which not moving with the times unfortunately, doomed. The myLot is a profit-oriented website with adverts, etc. They would also have interest in the development and improvement of site.

I don't think there should be a major, change here in mylot format, as long as it is working for me I think there is nothing wrong with simplicity and even if it is coded using HTML, I really don't mind. I just want to push the idea of making the RESPONDED TAB useful though, more useful than it's original purpose. Making the the discussion appear on top of RESPONDED list when somebody commented on to my response.

other matters here are okay it is okay to have this format for me, there is no need for flashy whatever for it will just cause the difficulty of loading it.

I think that would help a lot too, but then I think that would be difficult especially if it were only to move up if someone commented to YOUR own response. I thought about that too when the e-mail system was done but then I realized that if people did comment on discussions, they would appear on the recent tab.

yes, they are smart programmers they would find a way on how to do it, on how they will just arrange in your RESPONDED TAB, when it is only in your own box.
but email system is the easiest solution.

That's true, I had a really hard time keeping up with the discussion when the email system was down. I'm so glad it's fixed now. However, do you think the emails we didn't get when it was down, do you think we can still get them. I want to get them so bad.

As a starter I also found some points to be improved, but those were regarded hard and not the priority of admins. Although I feel a little frustrated, what makes me happy is the mylotters here. They are so helpful, nice, and always patiently and responsibly handle the problems of others. They share happiness as well as worries with each other, and everyday becomes easier, plus a little payment:)
I guess website maintenance, uploading and development is no easy job for any website. I've learned to be grateful to admins and mylotters for their time and efforts.

I don't care much of the appearance of this website. It's just fine for me. I just want my notifications to arrive on time. I'm not that critic. Welcome to myLot. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Happy mylotting. :)

I agree with you on this, and I mentioned this in other discussions in the past. Mylot has many pros, but unfortunately somethning needs to be done to make it look more up to date and fresh. I really think that it looks and feels outdated, and if regular updates are not made it really gets obsolete,just likeany other site, and even more in this case when so many people make use of it as a way of communicating and earning some money. It is a pity that nothing is done at least once every six months to improve it in some way or another.

Hello there ! I am bit new here but i am already very comfortable with Mylot nature , rules and the people. Mylot is significant in my life and for one to say that she must stay bit longer here so she can prove whether Mylot has a significance or none in her life . It is not a perfect site , it have its own lapses just like other sites , but the thing is , it is a very lenient site . It favors always the members. A very considerate site comparing to other sites where in Native English is prohibited ,content must be perfect , small mistake of punctuation mark then write ups will be returned to you. In here you are always given the chance to learn and improve and to be able to express and communicate. Whatever others view of Mylot , they are very much respected.

Do YOU have any idea about what I was trying to say? The updating I had in mind shouldn't cost much - simple formatting here & there won't even reach a thousand bucks!!! Some web design programs cost less than $50, and here you go attacking me. I never mentioned anything about Facebook, nor did it enter my mind. You need to relax a little -- some of us are merely posting our observations. Or are some members not entitled to their own ideas on myLot?

That will depend on what kind of updating exactly. Cause my earnings haven't updated yet. I dont know why. l.

Is it not better for you to be here for a while and study how the site works. You will then realise that this is one of the best sites we have on the Net and technically well designed.

Echoing my thoughts exactly, allknowing! I was annoyed enough at such a review from some-one just being indoctrinated into this site, that I had to go get another cuppa.
This site is user friendly, and even I could navigate and learn, as just a few years ago...a neophyte in the cyber world! It is the ONLY site that I have remained true to, and just like some of my friends I get annoyed with when glitches appear, I forgive and forget.
Hopefully after ALL the hardwork that was recently done to get this site back to normal, this kind of reveiw will not offend the powers that be!

My first social site was Yahoo Groups where one could choose whatever. I was there only for a while and from then on I travelled far and wide in cyber space and landed at myLot never to call it day here. Everything is just nice. Those glitches are a part of the Internet hiccups. Who does not have them? My pump just needed repairs The great thing is they work on them and all is well. Did you remember to drink to the health of myLot perga....?

Why do you want to change myLot? Its great the way it is. Maybe a few glitches here and there but everything else is perfect. I don't think anything should change here except the glitches and for the "responded" tab to update how the started tab does, I'd be in heaven!

Its simple to an extent but if I could change any one thing it would be some navigational features or how it all updates for us.

I am comfortable with the looks and design of the myLot. Sometimes earnings update may take time but they are working on it. As far as change is concerned I would like to see some new and interesting tasks added here which will give myLotters an extra opportunity to earn.

The 24 hours delay in the earning updates has the reason to detect the cheaters. But for example would be great a real-time projected earnings. Many new users write a few comments and leave the site forever. :(

Earnings update after 24 hours is not the issue.
But sometimes it takes 2 to 3 days for the update and that thing should be solved.

What I feels is mylot is a discussion site and if I replies to someone and he again replies to me there is not any thing to notify me.If I had to see iI had to go back to discussion and see the discuasion I had responded.But that takes too much time and I am not able to cintinue my discussion.So I thinks it needs to be modified so that it is made a good discussion site.

I agree with you.If any member is so serious in this site,then there is lot of good things to talk about and lot of things to share.Mylot is something special for each and every members.I joined this site accidentally while searching a study material for my CCNA exam.In the beginning i am not so serious in this site.After getting the first payment,i become more serious and spend all my free time in this site.I have been to member of the site for 7 years.Mylot is another piggy bank for me.After accumulating 10 dollars,we are getting the payment from them.A penny saved is a penny earned". I think there is no site like mylot who really pays for posting and replying discussion.Here we can meet people from different corners of the world and share our ideas and knowledge.If i get any free time,i like to spend it on mylot.

You know, I appreciate your candor, and for caring enough to critique an earning site that you yourself admitted you liked. It's unfortunate though that when a myLot user tries to get it to improve itself, the idea is shot down easily by others who didn't seem to understand what you're suggesting, i.e. cosmetic touch-ups, not the concept behind it. I hope you won't get discouraged/dismayed by naysayers around here, and continue to be intellectually invested here at myLot & in other places like it that you're part of.

I think I like mylot the way it is, it is simple, it doesn't take so much time to load especially that I have super slow Internet all the time and it pays for whatever is inside my brains at the point in time I type something. But it would be nice if Mylot payed a little more because the ideas on here are usually priceless. I learn so much here more than I could ever learn on facebook. They talk about life here and personal stories. Facebook is all show off things and impersonal with all the quotes and images. Mylot Is honest, good old honest site.

I think a lot of different topics are well coexist if the site is well designed and well structured. Subtopics within topics in different depths. The impersonal and superficial chit-chat of facebookers is apparently profitable to Facebook. If you are not interested in the superficial chat (neither I do) you can filter it in a well designed website. You can customize, categorize to those topics what you are interested in.
But the myLot able to make profit from the superficial chat too. More profit to myLot = more commission to mylotters. :)

Yes but we do not get the money we make from superficial chat on Facebook. Its better to superficially chat on here, the anonymity makes people more honest here. And i think if there are more people on here, the commission will lower too, i remember veterans talking about how easy it is to make a few dollars a day here on mylot before when there weren't as much members.

you see till some extent i agree with you. the site badly needs to be modified. needs to be made more cooler. and an edit option is a must to be introduced. i think the admin will look at you topic and will take a good decision on it. thanks a ton for this topic. i too like mylot a lot but things has to be changed when time passes by. if mylot looks a lot more cooler then this websote will get a lot more accounts per day than usual.
cheers..! :)
