Questions/Issues/Wishlists for BFP

[Boots13]

Hi Linus !
I'm getting this message before logging in...in the past I could read forums, etc without logging in but now when I try to read BFP Forums I'm advised that I must log in
and nothing shows except the registration mask ~

[Bit]

That's not just you, Boots. It started yesterday, and now I can't read without logging in either. What it means is that when I click on an email link that ends in "newpost" it takes me to the post where I left off, rather than the last post in the thread... given that benefit, I'm not certain whether I really mind it or not.

[Ryobi]

I'm having the same problem as Boots13. Sometimes, I like to come on the site and just read. Up until a couple days ago, I could do that without logging in. Now, I have to be logged in before I can view just the threads. It tells me I don't have permission and must log in to view the pages.

I understand blocking access to the galleries, I even appreciate that. It's frustrating not being able to read without logging in though.

If people thinking about joining the site can't view the site in it's basic form, I think added members might come to a stand still? I doubt I would register on a site in order to see the site. I would want to see it first and then join if I wanted to. Just my .02 cents.

I'm hoping that this is not an issue with my system and you tell me my computer is a piece of :crap:!! LOL.

Thanks for all that you do, Linus.

[Bit]

Whoa!! I just logged out, closed all windows, opened a new window and Googled us.

I could not even get into the site through the main Google link to the front page without logging in first. THAT does not seem like such a good thing, because it means no one can come surf and decide they like the site...

[Boots13]

Bit and Ryobi, My thoughts too .

[Bit]

LOL, Ryan, two minds with but a single great thought, there. ;)

[Ryobi]

Bit. Boots13. It's a pleasure sharing head space with you. :cheesy:

[Bit]

*laughin* Tis a pleasure sharing headspace with the both of you, Ryan, Boots. ;) :cheesy:

Haven't read this whole thread, but perhaps a better stronger faster harder chat program? I know it's an add on so even if we get a better/ different server the chat will still lag/ get stuck.. do odd junk according to what some techy types have told me. We have a handful of morning coffee chatters that would love it!
Please note: this is not to say that all the lil bells and whistles of this chat aren't super groovy, they are, but if they come at the cost of lagging and losing parts of convos I bet we would gladly do without it :)

Thanks a heap! Happy Thanksgiving folks!!

Hey Jess,

We are definitely going to scrap this chat program and install a new one. Although it is a cool program with all of the little bells and whistles, it has had crappy performance since day one.

Will let you guys know when we begin work on that :)

Thanks!

It's only temporary :)

Dear Admindusa ~
I was one of the ones who could view the gallery without logging in.
I love that you fixed the gallery thingie but now I can no longer view ANYTHING without logging in !!!


I get the error message requiring me to log in to view the forums page, or any page. I've tried
different angles, including rebooting my computer but I still get the "You must be Registered"

It's got to be something I'm doing on this end, though I cannot for the life of me figure it out !

Do you have any suggestions?
HELP !


Hey Boots, et al!


Just a quick note on the forums being closed to guests:
I changed the settings in the back end so that people would have to log in to view our forums. I had a reason for it and it is intended to only be temporary. I will probably open them back up to guests later today or Sunday.

I appreciate your patience :)

[T D]

I hate to sound totally dumb, but just how do I get to the Gallery. I don't see a link anywhere :(

Thanks

Yayyy Admindusa !! I'm not an idiot after all....dont go there ;)

I thought it was just me, since I had'nt heard other people
having to do the same, until now.
No worries and no rush
And THANK YOU for your quick response !

I don't have no 1 meeeellion dollars, but I do have a bridge for sale...

So yeah, I was copying all my posts before hitting submit, but failed to today and lost a post. That, in turn, led to an emotional downward spiral that required my femme soothe me. :blah:

Speaking of soothing, the "thanks" option is driving her to madness. I can't say I'm a fan either.

1. It disrupts continuity.
2. Instead of clever reps (fun to read! relationship building!) members can now just hit "thanks." It seems, well, lazy.
3. e complained that she got so many thanks, it bumped her reps and she never got to read them. Yeah, I know, right? HARD to be so popular.


We prefer the option whereby we can read our received and given reps.

That's our list of demands for now. Doesn't mean we don't appreciate all that you do, because we do. A lot.

[SuperFemme]

Can there be a rule that somebody gives me healthy snacks when I post? :tongue:

[evolveme]

Dear Admindusa (too cute!),

Could you please consider ousting that Bent guy?

He is a big fat dork.

And, like, you clearly don't have enough to do.

Kthnxbai!

Can you implement a "Stop when red lights flashing" or "crossing guard" smiley? Oh please. I feel like I have to scraped poor poor Mr. Bent's carcass off the asphalt. :rainsing:

I like the idea of a crossing guard. That white belt is sort of sexy.

[Bit]

3. e complained that she got so many thanks, it bumped her reps and she never got to read them. Yeah, I know, right? HARD to be so popular.

I can relate because I wasn't here for a day or so and when I came back, all my reps were gone and it was just thanks! I have no idea if I missed anything more personal or not; there's no way at all to tell. It was really disconcerting.

I dunno how I feel about the thanks button... I certainly use it freely, although I have noticed that it does disrupt continuity. What's nice is that there's only one notice under a post and it lists all the people who have thanked for it.... I wish it could be that way in the rep comment section also, but I do understand the difficulties that might pose.

[Gemme]

Often while composing a post I'll be timed out before I can submit. Is there a setting to prevent getting logged out so quickly or...?

I get that when I'm away from the computer or not actively typing for more than about 12 minutes. When I'm at work, frivolously playing online and then have to stop and actually provide some customer service, this can be a bit annoying.

Actually yes, I was being irritated by this issue as well and will get that changed to a longer cookie session..... for one MEEEEELLION dollars. :bow:

Does Monopoly money count?

[Arwen]

Re the Thanks feature? I agree. I really miss seeing my reps. I use the Thanks feature too but I wish they could be separated out. :) Some people give good rep. :smelling-flower:

:canadian: Hrmm.. Can we have a serious section for debate (general but not "fluff" or gender/orientation related)? :rant:

When posting Smiley requests, can you add them to my thread (http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=256). Makes it easier for me to keep track of what I'm looking for. :cheesy:

I'll add this to the list.

[NotAnAverageGuy]

What about an are that shows the top posters?

kinda like what we have now on the homepage but it only lists one person.

[julieisafemme]

Just wanted to say I super LOVE the thanks button. How fun is that!!!! I am thanking fool. It makes it feel very much homey and community-like.

Thanks!

i do kinda wish for a brain candy zone. (i.e.: arcade) it seems to be an addiction of mine...somewhere i go between chapters or sumthin'.

[Jess]

Not sure if this question has come up yet and as there are way too many pages for my ADD to go back through, I'll toss it out here.
I want to change my nic. Do I A) create a new one and just "forget" the old one or B) do something else? Be clear, I do not want dual nicks, just a new one that more clearly represents the me I am today.
Thanks. I'll subscribe to this so I can try to keep up or techy folks in charge of all things techy can just pm me for the appropriate course I should take.

Much appreciated, Jess

[Jess]

OK.. you guys rawk! Thanks a bunch!

[Admin]

Working on the arcade today ;)

[Admin]

Ok folks, I have the arcade in a semi-state of ready! If you click the link on the homepage today you will get an error message, but you CAN get in by going through the forums.

I still have several games to add and need to consult with Linus on a few things.

When I get home from work I will finish the load on it and we should all be playing games by tonight :)

The chat we have right now will probably change to something that's not Adobe Flash based so if you are having issues now I suspect that will go away with the new software.

Ok Folks!

The arcade is practically BURSTING with games. Linus sent me a HUGE package this morning (NO, not THAT kind of package) and I have just loaded all of them.
These games look pretty awesome. GREAT job Linus!


Another FYI: I am *almost* done working with our new Marketplace. Might have it ready by tonight, watch for an announcement.

I'll send more as I find them. I'm trying to stick with games that work and have good reps.

If anyone has any games they'd like that aren't there, list them in this thread here (http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?p=15951).

I will have some time tonight and probably tomorrow night to work on it. I really appreciate your patience and promise to give all of you a special golden cookie for being awesome :)

Minesweeper's scoreboard is backwards.

As it is a game in which you attempt to do something in the shortest time possible, low scores should be on top.

Some of you may have noticed some weird activity today on the site. My apologies. That was me trying to tweak a link to galleries so y'all can :perv:

It wasn't working and after a bit of tweaking and such, I went with a simplier solution so there should now be a link in each user's post "bits" (the info on the left) just after the post count info. I'll see about adding it elsewhere into the profile for those times when not looking at posts and you're looking at someone specific.

It either means the size (in KB) is too big or that the dimensions ( aaa by bbb) is too big. For general members this size limitation is 64KB or 100x100 pixels, whichever is larger.

You can start by going here to resize your picture down to a smaller size: http://www.shrinkpictures.com/

Once it's at that size, then go to the gallery and select Upload photos on the to right-hand side.

Browse for the photo.

Select it and press Okay

Then give the picture a title and select Upload/Submit.

I'd love it if the thread ratings were not anonymous.
I get that it is a privilege members have paid for, but in the interest of transparency I would prefer that the anonymity of raters was removed.
In general, anonymity (in my view) does not encourage accountability or community-mindedness.

Actually, that's not part of the Membership but a default of the forum. I've been trying to find a mod for this since even Admins, AFAIK, don't even know who voted.

Actually we CAN see who voted but not in an easy way. It takes a database query (which I have used once before to see who kept rating a bunch of threads a "1").

From what I have read on the software forums, the bug with voting is also that once someone votes on a thread, other people dont have the chance to vote. - which sucks if someone rates the thread a "1" because then, its there forever

Once we upgrade to the new version of our software, a lot of these issues should be fixed.

Cyclopea, I agree with you. I think that more problems come out of anonymous behavior than its worth sometimes. The accountability factor and all.

[NotAnAverageGuy]

Have y'all thought about maybe implementing a system for instant messaging like facebook has?

thank you for bringing up anonymity Cyclopea. i'd like to add that i sincerely appreciate the AdminOwner(s) for choosing to have Mods patrol the hallways using their own names. it's a pleasant vote of confidence in those chosen to moderate the forums as well as another lovely bit of transparency. gives me a warm fuzzy feeling...faith in my community and all that other important stuff.

i'd like to add my thanx for the wealth of smilies. they're a lot of silly fun and i'll stand in line for a dose of that any day.

Let me look through the mods next week and get back to you on that. I know what you're talking about. There are "shoutbox" options that can be on the main forum page but what I think you mean is like a gmail or AIM or other buddy list that you can IM to when you know someone is online.

What NAAG is asking for is like whispering privately to someone in a chatroom, :linus:--a teeny window opens at the bottom of your screen and it's private. The window closes if you leave the website; it's not independent like a yahoo IM.

[Selenay]

For the record, I'm really not a fan of the IM thing.

If you want to interact with people, you can trade yahoo messenger, skype or AIM addresses, if you don't want to use a PM.

I don't want IMs from on the site, and if it is instituted I hope there is an option to decline IMs.

[Medusa]

There is a mod for this but I am doing some reading on it and several users have reported an significant slowdown with bandwidth. More reading....

And Selly? I'm with you on this one. I would want an option to turn it off. I keep mine turned off most of the time on facebook.

NAAG - What would feel different to you about the Facebook-style messaging than the Private Messaging system? Less response time?

Sorry. This one is out of our hands. It is the provider. I have a suspicion that the server we share with other sites is being busy because of the holidays. The Admin is looking to resolve this one way or another.

[SuperFemme]

I have a question. Let's say that a member purchases a $30 membership, then a month later purchases a $100 membership. Is it a possibility that the remaining time on the $30 membership can be transferred to a person who at this time cannot afford a membership?

Yes :)

They can just private message me the name of who they want it to go to and we can manually change it :)

[Admin]

Just FYI:
I have been on the phone so many times with GoDaddy in the last few days that I know the number and prompt codes by heart.

Aside from wanting to sell us a dedicated server (for THIS amount of traffic? I dont fucking think so), they never take responsibility for the server being janky. One tech even tried to tell me that the "the server has dropped the connection" messages were because we needed to update the password on our hosting account. After I got through laughing, I asked for a supervisor and explained that we will no longer be needing their services and will be transferring our account.

Im DONE with GoDaddy. :)

Linus and I will begin the process for changing servers in the next couple of weeks.

Also, as a side note, the one-year of fees that we pre-paid to GoDaddy WILL be refunded to us so the site wont be out any money. We will, however, have to pay hosting fees for 2 different companies for about a month while we transfer everything.
I've never transferred a server so this will be a new experience for me (but then again, I'd never built a website until 6 months ago either and that didnt stop me)

Hang in there folks, faster days are coming :)

Okay can we PLEASE find a way to ignore/block someone right from their profile or that little dropdown that comes when you click someone's name?

By the time I figure out where the damn hell the ignore list is in my CP I have already forgotten how to spell their username OR who I was trying to block in the first place and I get in trouble if I don't put people on ignore.

It's MEEEEEEEEE, isn't it??? :bigcry:


On another note, when the site is slower (the past couple of days especially), and I click on the Thanks button or click to Rep someone....it doesn't always pull it up. Sometimes it just will not let me do it, even if I pop out of the thread and pop back in to give another try. It's not something that is high priority, of course, but I wonder if that is happening to anyone else?

Hey, Linus --

I just got off the phone with Adele. She would like to have a little "Differently Abled" sign, perhaps like the little blue wheelchair thingy that people can use in their posts if they want.

:wheelchair:

:deaf:

Would these work?

[Linus]

Yes. I wonder if there's one that indicates Head Injury, or emotional disability? That damned Adele, I'm going to yank her in here to explain what she wants, if I can find her.

I had a weak moment and told her I would ask, now I'm not sure what I'm asking for, or even if I'm using the right words. :^|

ADELE!

Hrmm... that'd be hard to find. I don't know if we could find one for every disability.

Adele, if you know a symbol that represents something let me know and I'll see what I can do to make it a smiley/emoticon.

My hope is for a little icon to denote a persons differently-abled status. It is not in any way meant to denote head injury or any such thing. Rather I'd like a little symbol in the "about me" section where an icon can be shown next to the posts. Something simple but universal. It envelops inclusiveness of ALL forms of differently abled.

Here are a few suggestions:

Ah.. in the About Me section, eh? Hrm... let me ponder this one for a bit. This will require a little bit of template changing in the background or something. I take it that this would be something that the individual would choose to identify as and would have the option of making it public?

Yes. I know it is a lot to ask. You know how there is a globe for location over to the left of where one post? What about a lil' icon (self imposed) there denoted different abledness? If it CAN be done I think it would help build bridges.

Done. We now have "Add user to Ignore list" and "Add user to Contact list" now on the drop down of the user post bits (that's the little profile info beside a user's post).

I appreciate Medusa's multi-tasking abilities :)

[Selenay]

While Jack, SuperFemme and I are out getting our facials, can we maybe have a line break in the thing next to our posts where we have our location, relationship status and such?

it kind of runs together in one big blob of text and it would be visually easier on me, for one, if there was a littttle separation.

Oh yeah that looks way better, the only thing I would say is confusing now is the lack of break between usertitle and whatever that first one is.

But beyond that, A+!

What is a Yahoo slurp spider and why is it listed in the viewers of the thread Random things? Is that a member?

[Dragonfly]

And why is that labeled Google or Yahoo spider as in different from a guest viewer?

[Selenay]

It's a "bot" index tool for search engines.

Example:

Yahoo! Slurp is the Yahoo! web indexing robot. The Yahoo! Slurp web crawler collects documents from the Web to build a searchable index for search services using the Yahoo! Search engine. These documents are discovered and crawled because other webpages contain links to these documents.
As part of the crawling effort, the Yahoo! Slurp crawler takes robots.txt standards into account to ensure that we do not crawl and index content from pages that you do not want to be included in Yahoo! Search results. If a page is disallowed to be crawled by robots.txt standards, Yahoo! does not read or use the contents of that page.

This behavior is often the side effect of the DNS server not being fully up to date (can take 24-48 hours for the whole internet to fully propagate that info). If you want you can use the IP address to initially connect (just PM me)

Also, do a ping -a www.butchfemmeplanet.com to see how it resolves and possibly a traceroute. This can sometimes indicate where the problem is.

I got that message left and right over the weekend, but nothing now. All clear! :cheesy:

I WOULD like to issue a non-complaint though.

I've noticed tonight and the couple of times I've popped in this weekend, that my Thanks are actually going through now! Before, I would click it and half the time, it would go through and the other half, it would take my thanks, tally it to my total, but not show it under that person's post. And, of course, once I clicked Thanks, I could not privately rep that person the times that it didn't go through. So, thank you for that NOT happening now.

:nixon:


Oooopsie! Edited to ask about getting kicked out even though I'm actively posting. Being timed out, I understand. But I posted and went to click on another email link and I had to log back in. Is this one of those silly kinks that will work itself out or should I do something to help fix it?

that's Bo ~ leaving a swathe of broken planets in his wake!

Bo...type first and then highlight what you've written and do the font/size/etc thing. it's much easier and there wont be all those extra tag thingies

one who doesnt speak the lingo either

Yeah.....I do that sometimes. I thought it was like the other place where you could change the color and it would show it as you type. Guess not.

Thank you.

This is a setting in your User Options. Go to those and look for Editing. You are in the Basic, most likely. I'm doing this from memory (which is admittedly lacking) but there's a box that you need to check.

So go forth and checketh, young Bo.

[Arwen]

To get your font options:

1. Click on User CP in the green menu bar at the top
2. Locate Settings & Options in the grey bar on the left
3. Click on Edit Options under Settings & Options
4. Scroll to the last box on this page. It will be titled "Miscellaneous Options"
5. In the drop-down box, choose "Enhanced Interface"

You will have to select your color/size/font once the reply box has turned grey. Then you can type in your chosen font of "dear gods that's hard to read orange" to your heart's content.

Talk to Arwen. She's got the voodoo of the color thing going on....something about going to edit options....then miscellaneous options and changing it to WYSIWYG stuff.

*shrug*

Arwen knows.

[MrSunshine]

I'll look into that this weekend if that's ok. :cheesy:

[Arwen]

When did you upload them?

No clue...they were of my swapghan squares so after Christmas and before last week? No biggie, darlin'. I did just upload a photo that was in my queue. I re-do the squares or take more pics of them. :)

Bo is gonna drop a load of :crap: if he can't get an American Idol smiley. Anything would be good (since beggers can't be choosers). :)

I'll look for more smiley requests either tomorrow or over the weekend. If you can try, add them to the smiley request thread which is there: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=256

[labete]

My big request is the same one I had on another vbulletin forum site: RSS feeds. Here's the instructions (http://theos.in/internet/howto-add-vbulletin-rss-feed/) to implement, if you're inclined to grant my wish.

TIA! :bowdown:

For anyone else who's interested in using RSS feeds to stay updated on BFP (very handy for work or mobile!), here's how:

In your RSS reader (or browser, for many of you), enter http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2&lastpost=1 to see the last post in the 15 most recent threads, or http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2&lastpost=1&forumids=93 for the most recently updated threads specifically in the Red Zone, http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2&lastpost=1&forumids=92 to see the most recently updated threads in Queerbay, etc. You can do this for any forum by mousing over the forum name here (http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/forum/index.php) to see the link which looks like http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=3 and entering http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2&lastpost=1&forumids= plus the number that appears at the very end of the link after the "=", in this case a 3.

Then you can stay up-to-date on what's happening on the Planet without necessarily having to open your browser to do it. :dance1:

[Bit]

I'm not likely to use the RSS feed, but I certainly am impressed with labete's instructions! Wow!

Question.....

How come when I comment on a pic in the gallery, and I want to add a smilie, when I click on the "more" thingie, the smilie window opens but the smilies never show? The window just stays blank, no matter how long I wait.

It's a glitch that I'll have to track down (relates to pathing)
