Steem forever is a great initiative. After some post and comment testing, it is well .But i  see one thing that need to  improve.

###  Search another post button don't actually work. It shows "404 Not Found". This button need to add "steem forever search" link.

##### After Clicking it shows

I've gone through your steem-bounty forever page. These are my observations:

1. It is not too clear to me if am to use the steembounty forever link just before making my post originally or if am to use it after the 7 days of originally posting it so that it is renewed.

2. Yes I see the description extended after the 7 days of upvote to described the time the  services of stewmbounty forever, but I asked myself does it continue forever? So if we're promoting that the service will make the upvotes continue forever, then we should stress that part of the services because that is what is is meant to do. 

I think it is a great product, it will make many of our post we feel should have everlasting benefits rewarding always. It is kinda like royalty for music recording or films. Good job.

Here are few bugs I found:

(1)
**Actual Behavior**:
On the landing page, (in the search box) click on copy link without entering anything, it will fill the box with following url (steem-bounty.com/services/forever/undefined/undefined) and show invalid url msg below.

**Expected Behavior**:
Nothing should happen when I click on the link.

(2)
**Actual**: (Under what is steem forever)
If ***you you*** want extra upvotes: share your post with steem-bounty link.

**Expected**:
If you want extra upvotes: share your post with steem-bounty link.

(3)
No favicon is used on the site.

I visited your steem-bounty forever page. Its awesome. In my  observation 

1. You can added an AI like Google search  though it is not easy . That means when we search an post or comment link first time , its automatically added in database . If someone want to be search same post or comment link again its automatically show recommended post or link . That's help user to search it again.

2. When we search a post by steem-bounty forever, we see  same related post for different search content. 

I think, those two things  need to improve and those improvement , steem-bounty forever become more effective to use for a user.

But will People vote at the post when they see that it is older than 7 Days? A lot of people do not do so.  But the idea is awesome and I will try it out.

Hello there! I was checking the page and it looks great, I was able to understand everything even tho I'm not a native english speaker so it's clear enough for us to navigate around. The point is clear and the examples are helpful too, plus the illustration keep the page alive, I think you did a pretty good job! I'm hoping to use it in the future

I tested the service out now, there was now and I would have liked to have received a confirmation that is now active. Perhaps an automated comment on the original post with a link to the Steem Fovever URL in it


**Instructional page doesn't render correctly**

![Screenshot 2018-10-18 at 07.13.34.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXU9zNtB7516SRB1oFALHPN6Wp8i1B39ggjvkc5so3YBX/Screenshot%202018-10-18%20at%2007.13.34.png)


**An author page**

If there was an automated author page with all forever articles on it that would be really helpful too

![Screenshot 2018-10-18 at 07.14.34.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmb32hZNGi2kMLAfU9gx74hBURWs5vmSEmBMeyNkSAk4MN/Screenshot%202018-10-18%20at%2007.14.34.png)



**Broken interlinking**

When i clicked on recommended articles the URL doesn't add the /services/ subfolder and the @ to the author so the site 404's

![Screenshot 2018-10-18 at 07.16.15.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdajMnxf4rUDfQJtAi6wVEzd4EPKTvwVS8hcdWBBCBReV/Screenshot%202018-10-18%20at%2007.16.15.png)

**Strong call to action**

While the service may be apparent to us the author to the user it leaves much to interpretation. There should be a strong call to action above the fold saying this is a Steem forever post. Vote for your favourite authors or posts even after 7 days and continue rewarding quality content with an anchor text to explaining further

![Screenshot 2018-10-18 at 07.28.13.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdpHzT4w5efYw1hLipmJT9j2jHfeZPjeKPe8UGF2RmyGk/Screenshot%202018-10-18%20at%2007.28.13.png)

Very cool idea steemit-forever. I tried one link of mine.

Hi there @steem-bounty and @knircky. I have done some testing and I doen't think this feature is executing the way it was planned.

I have upvoted your post from 2 months ago:
https://steemit.com/steem-bounty/@steem-bounty/lets-try-something-new-5-community-reward 

# Photo 1 - Before Vote Was Made

![2.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNYJfq8jHgonPZ17RGRf3FNHizLHXEcoPubkhjthUnJSe/2.gif)
 
 As you see there was an extra vote (from 79 to 80) plus extra comment (from 19 to 20) and post payout value has increased (from $8.318 to $8.325).

However, when I go check the activity on your account through SteemWorld.org I see I have made the upvote, but that upvote show on the comment that @steem-bounty has placed on that post.

I have repeated same test with another old post by @sportfeed and result was the same. The vote goes to the comment placed by @steem-bounty and not to the post itself.

URL of that post: https://steemit.com/nba/@sportfeed/luka-doncic-makes-his-nba-preseason-debut-with-dallas-mavericks

I don´t know how fast you work, but it seems that most of the bugs/errors reported are already fixed. It´is working very cleanly.

I haven´t got any upvote yet, but until that point everything rolled as I was expecting to.

Finally, answering your question, it was very easy and intuitive to do.
Congrats to @knircky and @famunger for the huge success. Ready to lauch!!

Wow . . . you guys at @steem-bounty are just full of great Ideas. 

Instructions are easy to follow and everything is straight forward imo.  I do think the landing page itself could be more visually sound. My suggestions on the landing page :

- The Steem Forever Logo at the top of the page could  be bigger
- I think the Text needs to be darker and possibly slightly larger
- Too much white .....  possible solution use the two tone colors you have on the what to do sections. Alternate each color in sequence.

Dear @knircky, i put the link of my last post on it and after it transfer me into steem-bounty page, so i think it work well, but may be it could be nice if can be a message that confirm the post in the steem-forever, because for who already use steem-bounty the post is already inside it...

Took a look at the interface and it is quite sleek and simple. After running through a couple of posts and upvotes it looks like the system is working properly. I am using the Brave Browser and it works perfectly on here. Great work!

steem-bounty upvote exchange service works for me smoothly!

deleted

It's a very nice landing page. I really like the design.
The changes I would suggest are related to the text on the page. (I'm sorry, but I'm a freak when it comes to languages)



> This will allow authors to create content that is valuable over long time periods, such as tutorials and be rewarded over time.

> It works with any post, without needing to do anything. *(people need to do something: transform their link)*

> If you want extra upvotes: share your post with steem-bounty link. *(It's not really clear what you mean)*

English is not my native language, but these sentences could be improved.
The ones below are not perfect, but more clear. Maybe someone who speaks English can rewrite them to make them perfect?

* When authors create content that keeps its value over time (like for example a tutorial), it will still be eligible for rewards after the standard payout period.

* Can be applied to any post. (Follow the simple steps that are outlined below.)

* Simply transform your link and share it with your followers to earn extra upvotes after post-payout.


2nd part:

> Take your normal steemit.com/url and replace with steem-bounty.com/url.

I'd suggest you'd add the https:// part to both links.

> Anyone can upvote your post and comments after the 7 days, via the steem-bounty.com UI..

This sentence ends with 2 points instead of one.

* Anyone *will be able to* upvote your post and comments after *post-payout*, via the steem-bounty.com UI..

> Your rewards will be given to you automatically via reward sharing. There is nothing you need to do.

* Your rewards will be *paid out* automatically via reward sharing. 


3rd part:
I would change the title from 'what to do' to 'How It Works'.

Again, the descriptions are a bit unclear and some info is missing.

> Anyone can upvote post and comments via steem-bounty.com

I assume you mean that posts and comments can be upvoted any time via the steem-bounty.com link?

* Once you've transformed your SteemIt link to the steem-bounty-link, your posts ad comments can be voted on.

The second one is not clear to me either. What will this extra comment say? Why will it be upvoted with the user's own vote? 
I think it would be good to re-write this part and the following part about the reward sharing, because I don't get how it works.

Let's see if I do or not:

When a link to a post is transformed into a steem-bounty URL and someone upvotes it after the post has reached post-payout, steem-bounty will create a comment and use the author's own vote to upvote it (with the same value as the post was upvoted??? Wouldn't you be paying for your own upvotes, then? I'm confused...)


> The steem-bounty UI shows how much was generated via the forever feature and how much with the original upvotes

* The steem-bounty UI will show the rewards that were earned through 'normal' upvotes, and the rewards that were earned via the 'forever' feature.
*Still not entirely correct, but better than the original)*


The animation doesn't show the original upvote. Because the post is voted first, right? Before steem-bounty posts the comment?
So why not start the animation with 'upvote' underneath the post, then an arrow down to the 'steem-forever' comment?

Was steem-forever mentioned anywhere before on the landing page??
Before you say

> steem-bounty will create an extra comment 

Shouldn't that be 'steem-forever', then?



I also tested out the tool.
I think you should tell people they will be redirected to the steem-bounty website and will have to copy the link in the address bar if they want to share it. (I didn't see that coming)

I tried upvoting both one of my own posts and one written by someone else, but no comment was created. Is it supposed to be active already?

i was checked why you need this services i don't understand it. it is normally but i know your @steem-bounty no have search box so it is grate

This is easily one of the single greatest things to happen to STEEM when it comes to rewarding content creators. First of all I'd like to thank you for this.

https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/847068335921680384/IjP64wpE.jpg

The landing page was very well done. I don't think you need any modification there. Using the service is super easy and I tried upvoting 3 great posts I had missed and also tested voting on on of my own posts. They were all successful and everything was smooth.

https://i.imgsafe.org/b0/b01d06850d.png

- But I couldn't vote successfully on this post: https://steem-bounty.com/services/forever/@alexander.alexis/adolescence-the-hallmark-of-humanity It just didn't work. 

- I had to Log In Via Steemconnect even when I had already Logged In using my posting key. (Not a real issue. I'm just curious why?)

- I'd rate the product A-

### Few Questions?
Is the reward given when the comment pays out? 
Do you keep any fee? 
What happens if a second person upvote the comment on Steemit, Busy etc?

In the long run, having a bunch of generic comments  on a post can be annoying. So you might have to make your own post and gather the votes there after dropping a link on the author's post using a single comment. Maybe you should have an alt account named @steem-forever 

### Excellent Service! Best of Luck!

While i think this service is a really good idea, it should have Human curators (or maybe call them post-whitelisters) who are voted (and maybe even unvoted) by the Community. The reason is simple. This Tool allows even more Rewardpool-Rape. I think its a very good idea for Quality content that was a lot of work but it should not be possible to upvote Memes forever, for instance.

I think they present a tool that comes to give a solution to one of the great details of steemit, which is the short period of time that posts have a productive life.

I think it's great.

I think something that could be included is the possibility of saying "republish" some post from those we made a long time ago and considered good, but because they were starting in steemit they had almost no visibility. I do not know if it will be possible.

The page seems good and impressive but the text needs to be darkened and enlarged. The text looks very small and is less clear due to grey colour. I think I cant check out the service because I literally don't have active followers as I am still a minnow.

Interesting project, always thought we should be able to reward posts older than 7 days :D

Now the message with the image of steem-forever looks a little better, from the answers tab of each profile you can easily see which publication has revived each one if you do not want to go to www.steem-bounty.com
https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYpqEkjnkLY1vwY6mihm4K79XumgReQzsYGgEz1H3UeuW/image.png

I like the idea of earning beyond the normal 7 day window, especially as Steemit continues to grow/on-board more people,  and even that day when Steemit is no longer beta software.  I am not really sure of how the economics of Steemit-forever are working, but as long as it didn’t cause harm to Steemit itself, I would use the service.
I noticed a proofreading error on the 4th bulletpoint of the 1st section(you you).
I was able to follow along with the idea and posted an 8 month old article to test with.
I will add a second post that is only a few days old to see how that works out as well.
I was not real clear on what was supposed to happen after I added my older post. I did end up upvoting my old post and then by going back to that post on Steemit by way of the visit post button and did notice that a new comment was added, so that part of the process was not intuitive to me.
When I tried with a post that had not paid out, I’m not sure if I added it successfully.
I did my testing on the Brave browser on an iPad and I did notice a problem in writing/editing for this reply, specifically editing and using the cursor control to get rid of a space gap and replace a misspelled word. I’d like to see a bigger reply area.

This is an issue I've often brought up in the past, and a much-needed service I think. Great job.

I love your services and use your upvote exchange!  The new service sounds wonderful but I’m kinda confused how to use it.  Maybe make it more clear?

So, I got an Issue. Will this work if I used this project and paste the link of my expired post and then place it in bounty? Will I get the rewards? Let me explain more clearly, What I mean is, Can I use the link of steem forever and use it as a steem bounty and get further rewards?

I found the page informative, very well laid out, and look forward to sharing this service with my followers. Resteeming for sure.
