Hey guys, we've taken a LOT of time developing these systems that this website uses, and they're STILL not quite ready to release to the public, so i was wondering if i could get some feedback from other people on how the site looks, but MORE IMPORTANTLY, on how it feels to them, as far as being usable, what things they hate, what things they like, etc.

The site is http://TheSocialExpo.com

Thanks in advance.

I like the concept, do you have a specialized focus or can users discuss anything they want? The forum topics/blog posts seems very technology oriented, but the site doesn't say if it has a focus.

There's no real focus, it's just that i'm the only one writing anything on it so far (it's still new), and i'm a geek, so that's really all that's there for now --as far as blogs and articles go. As far as multimedia, it's all metal/industrial .

Feel free to write something from a different topic genre, if you like.

looks interesting, going to investigate this... one complaint tho - logging in I was asked for password then email on two separate pages... perhaps combine them?

Well, i can't have them on the same page if i allow a person to login from a client's website, because then the client could intercept their core account password; however, even on ionisis.com i don't want them on the same page for now, because i have no SSL (well, i DO, but it's self signed), so someone could intercept it there if it was plain text. This way the password is encrypted before the user enters the email, and then the encrypted password and plain text email are sent together for the login.

Fun stuff, when working systems over an api .
