CONTEST CLOSED: Help us redesign our boards for a chance to win!

[Alan_K]

Hey Community, 

As we mentioned at the end of 2019, one of Public Mobile’s focuses for 2020 is to improve our systems and portals to give you, our customers, a better experience. This includes everything from our back-end systems, to our self-serve portals, to the Community. As we look to make improvements to the Community, I want to make sure we leave no stone unturned and make every part of the Community experience great. 

That being said, one area we’d love your help with is the Community boards. The boards we have now (including Announcements, Getting Started, and The Lounge) help us organize the Community, but as the Community grows, we want to make sure they reflect the content that our members want to see. So, let us know what you think the boards in the Community should be and you’ll be entered to win one of three $50 Amazon e-gift cards. 

Comment below what boards you think we should have by Monday March 23 2020 at 12:00PM ET to be entered. Get as creative as you’d like! Want a board dedicated to money saving and deals? Tell us! Think we should have fewer? Let us know! We will take these submissions into consideration as we work towards improving the Community experience for everyone, and three winners will be randomly selected to receive a $50 Amazon e-gift card. 

Please note that all winners will be contacted via private messenger within a few days of the contest closing.

I guess I'll be disqualified...nothing. The Lounge is for anything and doesn't count for participation. Discussions is the otherwise catch-all or for when somebody doesn't know which category to choose. Announcements can only be posted by you folks. The rest are fine. Tried and true.

Not category-related:

Put that dang Quote button back where it belongs and most of us would be happier.

Or indicate which post someone clicked the Reply button on.

The headers should be in different colours. Announcements in green, the rest black and the lounge in blue. And within the lounge there should be a sub division for non telephone related deals etc.

Stickys at top of with guide/screenshots from Public Mobile Team on common questions.

How to port

How to buy an add-on

How to set APN settings both Android and iPhone

Etc

Etc

Another one that would be nice is a faster option to get personal details deleted....

Sometimes a new member posts all there information. Account number, sim number, full name, email address, etc..

Our only option is to report the thread or ask Oracle's and hope one is online to edit the post.

Speaking of Oracle's. Can we have a @oracles option that they all get a notification? Like @ moderators_team.

Just a few ideas for now. Likely will post more later.
