OMG :shock: after watching every episode of Battlestar Gallactica on Sky 1 for 5 long years it came to an end.
I have to say I was a little disapointed to see the end and maybe they could have got another series out of it.
Anyhows found out today they are doing a spin off series called Caprica!!! lol
That will be me sorted for the next 5 years LOL.
These are the new forum categories that will be added in the next few days. The forum will then get a makeover when the site update goes through in the next few months. At that point popular threads will also be promoted on the new home page. Once we get more people using it we an then have a survey about software and features to see if people want an upgrade etc.
Introduce yourself
Soapbox
Steam room
Current affairs
Swinging
Holidays
Just for fun
We are taking a few of the crap emoticons out and putting the popular requests back in after re drawing them, also adding more text colours and several shades of each as we cant use the old text editor with the new software.
Should be sorted out in the next few days or so.. :cheers:
Afraid not the software that ran them has been updated as it was over 4 years old. The old ones dont work with the new software at all (as you can see). We might be able to re draw a few of the old ones and replace a few of the new ones.
Same with the colours, I will see what is possible and let you know.
Can you post them on here because we might need to re draw them. If not please post how they used to come up eg lol etc.
No problem at all.... we aim to please just list them here and I will get as many as i can put in.
Thanks for this, if there is no technical reason for this I dont see any problem with the old colours being put back in tommorow. But we do need to make sure its not a scheme we have to use because of the new emotes upgrade or something.
If there are any specific emotes you want in please let me know we have room to add a few more in lol We will be re sizing some of the bigger emotes as well.
Its not a rating system.. rolleyes No matter how hard I try I cant tell you a rating system is being introduced as its not :kick: I cant give you notice of one because we are not having one smackbottom
You have 6 months to stick your public pics in your private gallery if you dont want peeps to find them. No different from now really except people will be able to search for profiles with pictures in a more specific way.
Angel take it from me that the forum, photo ads, chat room, video section, will ALL be changed in 2009. We have said time and again that all these changes will happen, I struggle to see how everyone is surprised.
And NOTHING has happened yet, you have 6 months notice of change here.
Well if it were up to me I would say lets either go for an upgrade of the software here to bring it completely up to date, I think its PHBB.
Or go for a new swish VB forum.. like this
But lets vote on it, as for spark plugs just asking for opinions. Appreciate the input if you use the forum.. im sure people want a say.
Just curious guys as you use the thing, asking for a bit of input should not be a crime :small-print: .
I have answered this stuff as well as I can, im not a word smith :cry: if anyone wants a proper chat please PM me for my number and feel free to call me.
So what is your thoughts on how the forum vote will turn out?.
New software
VB
IPB
PHBB
Keep it as it is?
I have no idea what way that will go :giveup:
I dont know fem.. Im not really a forum user :shock: not really my thing is this better lol
Or 69position
I feel for you lol we had it time and time again as well.
A vote is the only way before you do something, then after to double check. biggrin looks like you got your wish with the majority on that one.
Everyone had a chance to give their input on the site wide feature survey and give us comments... thousands did.
Same as the "Verification" stuff, forum users convinced us for years it would be certain site death. As it turns out after a site wide survey the vast majority of people were in favour of verification. Unfortunately the forum is not indicative of the site, the verification vote proved that.
We will always listen to as many users as possible but the vote will always go to the majority. With nearly a million members you will alwas get dissafected members.
After the changes have been made you will get a chance to use them and then vote on them same as the vote on the chat page ATM. If the majority hates the change we will revert it. Everyone gets a say in the site this way and it is fair.
I appreciate your feedback, this is normal, over the years there has been notable resistance to the most popular parts of the site.. people dont like change.
Video chat, see if you can find the posts on that "sometimes we get 60 in the chatroom". No one wants video. No genuine swinger would use that blah blah blah.
As I recall Private galleries were shunned upon because people either thought they were missing out or thought people had things to hide and loads of married men would use them etc etc.
The list goes on and on, and to be fair until you see the result of what we are doing its hard to comment.
In 6-8 months time when its rolled out and after you have used it with the new adds system etc if you still hate it you get to vote on it wink .
There will also be a forum questionaire and vote coming up to find out why so few people use it, and also find out if people want to keep it exactly how it is or change and update the software with suggestions.. Again it will ruffle feathers but if the majority want new software after a vote that is the way we will have to go. Im afraid one size does not fit all. 2009 will see a lot of changes here remember to have your vote :wink: .
Its in your browser Cache control f5 I think about 5 minutes but maybe a few hours I will ask the techies. Angel has posted a direct link to her picture so everyone will be able to see it following that. But Its NOT in the page it was showing on in the gallery so everything is working as it should.
If you click the link back to the public gallery from the link you posted it is not there. I suspect you put it private and its been in the cache.
It cant be set to private, if you need help doing that let us know. If you just removed it from public it might take a little while to come out.
Angel if its private it will not show publicly, but you will be able to see it and publicly post a link of it (like in the forum).
You can always see all your own pictures from your own account and the link is there for you to tag your own.
As already stated we want people to tag their own we are planning to ask for peoples help on their home pages in the next few days.
We need the public help for the following reasons.
1. We have 500,000 to do if people did all their own and we could rely on them to do them we would not need any help. Fact is most will not bother so that would be a huge issue.
2. If we cant get them tagged we would need to delete them, now if a few of you are frustrated now imagine how that would make thousands of people feel?
3. Very often you get people trying to pass off as women etc or something they are not. Taking a maximum of ten tags on each picture or video will make sure this will be represented correctly. This is the most honest and accurate way to do it.
Same as more cams and ability to remove whispers (that went live today). We are listening wink no point us doing anything that people dont want.
Please wait until you see the benefits of what we are trying to do here for the members before passing judgement thats all we ask.
I cant help with any rating options as there are not any! rolleyes
We need 500,000 pictures tagged to use in the new search feature. It takes about 20 seconds to do each one so in terms of time that would take someone 79 working weeks to do assuming they never stopped to do anything else :roll: .
You could say at the moment if you wanted to spend just 2 seconds looking at each picture in the gallery to see if you liked it that currently would take you two monts assuming you were on here doing it 35 hours a week.
So it was absolutely no surprise that we had thousands of people asking for this when we ran the recent surveys.
The reason we take up to ten tag opinions on each one is to make sure its accurate giving us an "average opinion" to display the results with.
Of course everyone that uploads any picture on here thinks they are david baily :shock:.
Does no one think it will be useful???
After reading this I can GUARANTEE this is in no way shape or form a ratings system.
At the moment feedback indicated that people do not want to click through 3000, pages of pictures in the public gallery. The image quality option is that, it is no way a public or displayed rating option. Many women indicated they did not want to sift through 1000s of cock shots.
We want to make all the features on this site as useable and relevant for everyone as possible. After each image/video has been tagged 10 times the option will disapear.
When the new search is released you will find it very very useful. We have a private image gallery for anyone who wants to keep pictures private and out of the public gallery. I dont know if you remember but we were one of the first to do this and seems everyone copied us also like the site watermarking and video chat.
We are only interested in giving the members on this site the best features possible.... please understand that. Every change we make has been asked for by the members here.
No system would be forced on anyone, completely upto users if they want it turned on.
Really after help thinking of the best way for it to work for those who do want it. wink
