Question

Suggestions:
1)Pls put an option for graphing also in the drawing window....
2)Pls allow users to create subjects, or atleast categorize the subjects using an index when you go into "Find More Subjects" so it's easy to find ur desired subjects.... and also add more subjects..
3) Pls have an option for "searching questions&answers" so that we may be able to search desired questions, tht were answered earlier....
4)Also have an option of searching profiles ....
5)Pls have more options/info that can be added in your profile.. like subjects of interest, and education levels/schools/degrees

Answer 1

I'd be giving you tips for what to do meanwhile:
1) Wolfram.
2) We used to have that earlier, but that really slowed down the servers of OpenStudy, so not now. You have an option to search the subjects in Find More Subjects.
3) Go to google, then type this - site:openstudy.com THE QUESTION TO BE SEARCHED.
4) the standard URL is http://openstudy.com/users/username so you're lucky if you know the username. you can again google someone with the site:... template.
5) We have the school thing. You can also add info in 'About Me'.

:) hope that helped

1) probably won't be happening anytime soon. It's a fairly large undertaking, and for the most part the combination of file upload (so you can draw and take a picture) and the drawing tool are "good enough". We do have some other improvements we want to make to the drawing tool to make it a bit easier to deal with, but we're not sure when we're going to get to those.
2) That won't be happening anytime soon either. We've experimented with letting users create their own subjects, and the result is a fragmented, worse community.
3) As ParthKoli described.
4) What do you want to search profiles for? Or is it that you want to find a user's profile by username but you don't have them on your screen?
5) We've considered adding more fields to the profile; that may or may not happen, depending on how things go.

Answer 3

I get it how graphing will be difficult as it does require a lot of programming(me being a programmer myself)
But I suppose indexing the subjects under broad categories and adding more subjects(for eg. humanities, astrophysics, astronomy, aerospace,just like how physics forums has done) could be done(yes i think letting users create subjects is bad as of now)
Well I wanted to search profiles so as to find ppl with similar interests and ppl I know who hv joined open study already, I had to go into google to search for tht user's profile... :P
More suggestions ....
1) On opening the drawing window and when I start dragging it(to see the ques again) I can't stop dragging it.. it's a bug...
2)Starring questions or favourite questions....
3)Text box to be included in draw box so tht we can type in stuff....
4)Categorizing tutorials&questions...

Answer 4

Hm. Have not seen the dragging issue, we'll look into it.
