Dunno. Maybe the new display system for favs and submissions on a user's frontpage? That seems to be the only difference I can immediately see on the site.

I was browsing the site and doing fine until the update hit, when suddenly it feels like a sloth running through a pit of molasses.

O.o

no question. thanks. bye.

What realm does painted tabletop wargame figures fall under?

Since they are something you are significantly responsible for the final outcome, I would hope that they are still acceptable.

Still acceptable within limits.

woot, thanks!

interestante...

Si.

Wait...so I cant post photo's anymore?

Apollo-

I read it and I do have a fairly obvious question (Which I'm asking because I'm not a forum member): What are the changes? It's pretty much impossible to tell just by reading unless they are sweeping...

Killing the illegitimate photobucketing would be nice.

It's nice to see you working so hard

hm

I think I might indeed have a question relating to this recent update, but I'm not quite sure I want to make it entirely public, especially since the situation can almost be considered 'done'.

\o/

uummm these updates and "rules" are kinda pointless and or stupid in my personal opinion. Like it says the fill in the blank memes aren't allowed anymore when soooo many people use and post them =/

just seems odd

Fill in the blank memes have *NEVER* been allowed.

There is finally a specific rule citing them rather than having them fall under the shadow of other rules which, while applicable, weren't meme-focused.

Does this apply to journal memes too? I wish it could since I'm sick of seeing that shit in my journals section.

Wait--so does this mean that users can't post art memes and such, where they've created original artwork in response to questions?

Could you please tell us what has been changed on all three instead of just posting them all and trying to see what was added?

I know it's kinda lazy, but most people won't look for what's different and just go "meh" and not bother reading them.

No photos of anything illegal. That include overly long blades and bongs? :C ONOSE. NOT BIG BLUE SMOKEY ;_;

~N~

A bong is not illegal. However, if you say "Smokin' a big bowl of ganj in my new bong!" I'm going to save a copy of the submission then remove it. And the copy of the submission will be stored in a Cover My Ass™ file.

Ahh, okie. Just making sure ^_^

BTW, I dont mean to do multiple uploads of an image, just as a headsup.. their just to get customer approval's on alterations in the sketches. That doesn't go against the policy, does it? If so, I'll go back and start deleting the older ones (when the update's lag dies down, naturally)

~N~

I find an alternative that works is just edit the current submission replacing the image with whatever the newest version is.

Yeah, I'm talking to a few of my friends now about possible alternative ideas. I just think there might be to much confusion between comments made to the first one and comments on the newer version(s). :/

~N~

The easiest thing to do is just send them edits over AIM or email, that's how I work instead of uploading to here over and over again. It's a lot faster too.

Alot of times I'm dealing with people in other time zones though and cant hop on. For instance, I did a job with a guy in Germany not to long ago. When I'm waking up, he's going to bed, really no ideal time to get on any chat programs :/

~N~

Ah, I keep weird hours myself so that's never a problem.

I read and understand. Thanks for working so hard, Neer. I'm liking the new site style. ^^

For God's sake, please change the site format back to the way it was.

Seconded

Thirded

If it's optional to switch, sure.

Yes, I dont think it should be forced on anyone.

I liked the old style better. It helped me know the titles of pieces and gave me an idea of if a user was still "active"

And the thumbnails kind of upset my mild obsessive compulsiveness x.x Theyre all unevenly sized and just register as clutter in my mind x.x

i agree with emilanarchy

as an option to change would be great, but forcing us to use it....

What's wrong with a few extra thumbnails on your home page?

I just fail to see how it's an improvement. I prefer the old format. If the admins think the change is cool, that's all well and good, but changes to a site's format are supposed to benefit the users, not the aesthetic sense of the administrators.

I actually like and prefer it :P But then Im a very visual person. :P

"We didn't build it so you could 'like it'!" ~ Red

umm isnt that the whole point of a website, build it so people like it and continue useing it

if we hated a site we wouldnt go there

It was a joke.

lols fair do's

*puts bag on head* i'll just shut up now :3

This format is very strange.

make it so the gallery thumbnails show side by side in a row of 4 or 5 or something.
Going straight down looks like it wastes space :D

THATS ALL!


OH and happy 40th anniversary! *runs*

NEVERMIND! IM A BLIND RETARD!

thank you for the update. that was a long read and it made my eyes hurt. i need to do it though and again say thank you for the heads up.

I only have a complaint about the new display system. Many of us here really don't like it. :/

Actually I think this is the case of a the minority just yelling the loudest.

The people that like or are indifferent to this new site design are less inclined to say anything about it, because they're just using it.

I knew someone would step up sometime and reply to my comment. But the reason why we're griping about it is because of the fact that we can no longer see the full date/fuzzy date format like we did before. And believe me, those date displays were important, as it always led to us of who last updated and how long ago.

All the better reason to be angry about it, I guess.

arnt the dates still in the actual submission?

Yes, they are, but having the dates and creator right on the userpage was extremely convenient and time saving.

I personally dont see any practical benefit to what replaced it, since all you had to do was hover over the submission title to see the whole submission (which you still got to do to see a bigger version anyway)

It does remove the popup, which would sometimes bug out and just cover things. In general with site design pop up's are something you want to reduce in all shapes and forms. Anything that blocks something else isn't a good idea.

I do understand about missing the date info, but meh, its not a big deal to me at least.

In general with site design pop up's are something you want to reduce in all shapes and forms.

Why is that?

They're obstructive.

I dont think thats necessarily the case *shrugs* But I dont really feel like talking about it, so lets just leave it at that

That was something i didnt like about the old one, having the images just pop up like that, it got in the way sometimes D:

Web 2.0

Any chance we can have an option to switch between thumbnails and text only for the lil previews when looking at someone's page? I kind of liked the list.

seconded

Now that I realized I needed to refresh to make it look right I like the new gallery set up a lot!

I jsut hope teh speed picks up.......

Sort of have to agree...the new display for the userpage galleries sort of looks...messy. It looked much neater and more organized before when one featured pic, and the most recent picture were displayed o.o

Too much like DA now D:

awesome :3 looks nice ^_^

New rules: yay

New layout: uh... I don't get the point of it and it appears like it WILL slow down the site and also is not really awesome for people on slow connections.

i would like to say i like the new format.

I'd be 100 times more okay with the new gallery thumbnails if any of the following were true:

A) The name and timestamp were still there to the side of the thumbnail; or

B) They were tabulated in several rows of several columns, like a mini gallery page; or

C) You could set a profile setting to control how your gallery would display to others; or

D) You could set an account setting to control how you would view galleries in general, or at least the ones with no preference set if C was also active.

Neerbutt died! ;..;

Jawsome.

I think I figure what has change with the site policy. But I don't think most don't know what has change. Because most just skim over what said and press I accept. Maybe you should explain some of it.
By the way I don't like the format with the pictures with gallery and favorites. It like having little pictures, but makes longer and it looks weird in some way. Please make this an option, because you have no reason to keep date format then. But with other one it makes you want to see want in the gallery, yet this doesn't and most would take it at face value. Either make this optional in some way, if possible. That my two cents on this.

cant join the goodrn forum, getting "out of memory" errors, and then some numbers x_X

the error is:
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 262144) (tried to allocate 311296 bytes) in /home/faforums/public_html/forumdisplay.php on line 468

and honestly, I have no idea why you guyys decided to change the gallery to all thumbnails, it just doesnt work very well and stretches the page A LOT.
id say if it was java-based rollover ( the thumbnails move when mouseovering ), it would have been better..

I know. I'm restarting them right now.

and also.. neevermind, the gallery seems to work fine for me now, no more stretching uglily

"Submissions made with renderers (e.g Poser) must contain "User created content". If there is no "User created content" in the submission, then it may not be uploaded. Fractal and landscape generated artwork may be uploaded, within reason, provided they do not violate the Flooding Policy."

....I...I...I think I love you...

Am I safe with this avatar or should I change it?

Images or comments intended to harass, slander or otherwise directly disrupt the use/enjoyment on the site will not be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to the conveyance of: racism, bigotry, derogatory remarks regarding philosophies, religion, sexuality, race, gender or association, or images or comments directed at any other individual(s) to incite or inflame matters of personal conflict on the site.

I remember reading the older submission policy and was wondering whether this was rephrased, or did I just forget reading it?

The changes seem to be reasonable and fair. Are they retroactive? Ie, do you expect people to dig through their galleries now and delete anything that was uploaded before the changes?

so far my common sense has not misguided me.

The lack of timestamps on submissions and faves on the userpage is a really bad change. It was an excellent way to see if the user had been active recently. Can you readd them?

The secnd life avatar limitation is a real salvation ! Thanks to the person who found the idea.

Seriously. I am so fucking tired of seeing some Lusk avatar some idiort added 6 tits to and figured that would make it OK to put 12+ images of it fucking something on the site.

Oui, a real pandemic :)

I just want to say I love the site you bring us, and I love how you run it.



I like the changes - especially the stipulations on photos and 3D models.

All I ask Is that down the road, the thumbnail option becomes 'disable-able'.

Because I don't enjoy it, and I would like to have my timestamps back. <3
You don't have to get rid of it, but please.

Make it optional. :)

Hurray. Less photoshit. Thank you, muchly. :D

Thank god for less "this is me" photos

dont make the site fail again or corsi will have to write another song

Everything there seems clear and easy enough to understand. From the looks of it I doubt the changes will affect too many people.

There is something I was going to mention though about about the new gallery layout, I would ask about it in the thread on the forums but I haven't set up an account there yet. I haven't noticed anyone else mention this yet so it may not really be a problem that's affecting many people.
While looking at my own and some other people's user pages in Internet Explorer the small picture icons hang outside the 'latest submissions' section and cover the link to enter the gallery. I have tried viewing the pages with Firefox too and everything seems to be working fine.
As I said before it's not really much of a problem but I thought it may be worth mentioning.

The whole update looks great though, the new small icons will take a bit of getting used to but it's a nice improvement, a good way to see more of what people have in their galleries whilst still viewing their main user page.

hmm quite slow but i think they make for the best ryt?
i think they going to find other solutions for this.
hoping they mange too.

I like the new gallery/fav thumbnail thing, even though it obviously wasn't coded by you... no offense.

As for the rules, I don't even bother checking them. It all comes down to "don't be an asshole" in the end. And those people using the site as a furry version of photobucket should be shot in the groin. =)

Once again, nothing's effecting me immediately.


Except for maybe the stuff in my watchlist, but it looks like that might be for the better.

Have no problems yet.

So... I currently have an image posted of my avatar from SL. I have modified it by putting tiger stripes on it hair and such, but nothing that I actually created myself. ...I put it up solely as a reference, actually, so someone else could do a commission for me based on it, since the character herself IS my creation, I just used other people's work that matched the look I had in mind. I was originally going to take it down right away, but a few people commented that they liked it, so feeling narcissistic I left it up.

Should I really be taking that down? My impression is that it's breakin ze rules, which is not what I want to be doing.
