Title: I do not like the new site design
Post by: MKFan200 on January 24, 2010, 02:57:57 AM
Okay....I hate it.
Reasons:
1. Everytime I try to navigate anywhere...it takes thirty plus seconds to load up. And I can't use any other tab on my list until it loads. It never did that originally.
2. I don't even know how to upload images now.
3. The picture bin is all fucked up. I don't know how to find the images I want now; and it's all out of order how it was originally.
4. I cannot reach the site directly now. I have to go to google and type the link in there now.
5. The homepage idea  is fail.

Any chance we can go to the original format? ANd Anyone else have complaints similar to me?

My responses to your problems (just as a second opinion I guess)

1. Get a better internet connection? That doesn't happen for me, and its basically as fast as the old site
2. Try the picture posting section? Its exactly what it says on the tin.
3. The gallery does have strange image names and no tags on images, I agree, but it'd need someone to sort them out, and that'd be a mammoth task.
4. Save the site in your favourites, then you can just click and it'll load. Or get Google Chrome, it'll pre-empt your typing.
5. If by the homepage idea you mean the 'You must be 18+ to enter', I think we need that legally.

Anyway, thats what I think.

There is nothing I can do to fix that, particularly since it doesn't seem to happen to everyone and that it seems to be more a problem on your end (connection or whatever) than anything.

Quote2. I don't even know how to upload images now.

You're probably trying to upload them to the gallery which is a no go. What you want to do is go to the board you want to post pictures in, start a new post, click additional options and click browse - then just locate the picture on your HD you want to upload and presto!

Quote3. The picture bin is all fucked up. I don't know how to find the images I want now; and it's all out of order how it was originally.

There was no real order before and now, so I really think this is more a personal problem than anything and not something I can really fix, sorry.   :S

Quote4. I cannot reach the site directly now. I have to go to google and type the link in there now. 

Again, nothing I can fix, since no one else has shown to have that problem and it speaks more to your connection than anything.

Quote5. The homepage idea  is fail.

As JackO alluded to, it protects the site from underage users, something that we need to have to keep this site from being shut down by the U.S. government. So, sorry, but it's here to stay. Deal with it.

QuoteAny chance we can go to the original format? ANd Anyone else have complaints similar to me?

Sorry, but as is true of everything from time past, things change and this is the current format. In the future, things may change again, but there is never any going back.

I can tag images with keywords. I think i might start by tagging around 50 or so pics a day. Maybe by summer you'll be able to do a search for something like "dress_wetting bondage" and have all the pics show up.

Quote5. The homepage idea  is fail.

Don't bookmark the homepage, bookmark the forum. :)

That overview page you're talking about, Chang, came with the MKPortal. When we decided to upgrade to SMF 2.0, it was no longer compatible so it had to be dropped.

Is it possible that by "the homepage is fail", he meant the fact that we got rid of the overview page? You remember, the one with the list of all the rules and that cool button you could press to see what other users were doing. Actually, that button was kinda creepy. :crying:


Hey, I resent that!

i used that button all the time, so I could know EVERYTHING you would all do.

My responses to your problems (just as a second opinion I guess)

1. Get a better internet connection? That doesn't happen for me, and its basically as fast as the old site
2. Try the picture posting section? Its exactly what it says on the tin.
3. The gallery does have strange image names and no tags on images, I agree, but it'd need someone to sort them out, and that'd be a mammoth task.
4. Save the site in your favourites, then you can just click and it'll load. Or get Google Chrome, it'll pre-empt your typing.
5. If by the homepage idea you mean the 'You must be 18+ to enter', I think we need that legally.

Anyway, thats what I think.
1. That would be a stronger case, if I didn't test the connection on three different computers.
2.Okay then that helps a bit.
3. Well I'll wait on that then...someone needs to though.
4. I'll try...
5. Okay then forget I said that.
Still I think we could have donw well with the old design though.

1. Okay well it might be your area, what I really meant was that I;ve not had any problems recently, and no other members have complained of slow connections, so its probably your end.
3. I think Duce is re-uploading a lot of the images with proper titles, and Serika has kindly volunteered to tag images, and I would also be happy to do some tagging, if more helpers are needed.

But yeah, the time comes to upgrade, and there's a lot of positives about this new layout too, so make sure the glass is half-full :P

That probably wouldn't have a single effect; we're talking about A.) internet connection which depends solely on your modem or router, not your computer and B.) it may also have to do with where you are in the world and which dreamhost server your local ISP connects to.

There have been many cases where even *I* could not connect to the site (despite paying for and owning it) simply because one or more of dreamhost's servers weren't working properly. 

None of which is anything *I* can fix.  :S

On the main page, scroll right down to the bottom, to the users that are online bit...and click where it says "6 Users, 4 Guests (1 Hidden)" or whatever the numbers happen to be. :D

Post by: FallenStar on February 05, 2010, 01:14:05 PM
I have two things to say about that:

1. After all the work I had someone put into making that banner, you actually expect me to take it down? Really... you people complain about the silliest things.   :S

2. As far as I know, there's no way to take the banner down, but I'm sure someone'll come on and point out a way (probably Serika) :roll:

I'm very well aware this site is ad-less, which is one of the reasons I like it so much. Adblock can't tell ads from non-ads, so you could just filter the banner and it'd be gone.

The real question, is do we want it gone? I don't see any reasonable explanation for getting rid of it to be honest.

Adblock works on the side of the user, so if someone doesn't like it, they could get rid of it without affecting the rest of us.

The layout is shitty? Dude...you weren't even here before the site changed layout, so you've nothing to compare it to.

The site layout is exactly what you;d expect from a forum...with some added advantages;

There are no ads...that's a major plus
The site is easy to navigate...that's good

What's 'shitty' about this layout?

Well, to be honest, it's kind of unfriendly to people on iPods, iPhones, and (I assume) other mobile devices.  I can't use this shoutboard on mine like other ones I've seen.  That's a pretty big neg.  Also, to be honest, Adblock plus doesn't work to fix the NSFW thing, because public PCs don't have it, and it would be obnoxious to D/L it each time.

Well, I only access the site on computers, so I wouldn't know about iphones or the like.

I;ve never seen you use the shoutbox anyway tbh :P But maybe you're always on your iPhone eh?

I never access the site outside my home, so i'm not too bothered about the banner.

So really, from where I access the site, I think its laid out like any other forum, and it works, so I don;t see a problem, really.

First of all, why the hell are you trying to access a *porn/hentai* site on a public computer? What are you, some kind of library computer-user pervert or something?  O.o

Secondly, why are you trying to access this site on an iPod? Do you not have access to a regular desktop? As for the "shoutboard", are you talking about the shoutbox? Because this forum isn't a "shoutboard" - it's a forum much like GameFAQs or Flatchan or any number of other forums.

Further, for the NSFW banner, why in the high flying holy hell are you trying to access this site in a place where that would be offensive to people? There is no part of this site that was designed to be SFW. If that's what you want, go back to sites like GameFAQs or places like that.

Just to make this even more clear, this is a website for sexy women with full bladders peeing their pants. You should only join if you're interested in sexy women with full bladders peeing their pants. In other words, you would call this an adult website, meaning it is not safe for work.

To be perfectly honest, no, I do not have a working desktop.  The reason I access this place on my iPod is, well, so I can access it, to post.  I shouldn't have to justify that.  And yes, I meant the Shoutbox.

As for why I access this place in my college's library?  Because I can't use the shoutbox, or upload an avatar (which I plan to do),  or write a post with any level of speed on my iPod.  And to be honest, I find the General Discussion board, and, indeed, most of the non-sex boards perfectly safe for work.

Honestly, I find it a little bit offensive to be told "Go to GameFAQs, don't hang out and converse with others who share your fetish".  I understand where you're coming from, though.  Obviously, I've been able to handle these issues on my end.  I just thought I'd share em.

There's nothing that I, or anyone else can do, to make this site *more* accessible to anyone with iPods. Simply put, if you don't like how things are with an iPod, you'll have to find a way to get a desktop or another type of computer in order to access what, apparently, you can't access.

QuoteAs for why I access this place in my college's library?  Because I can't use the shoutbox, or upload an avatar (which I plan to do),  or write a post with any level of speed on my iPod.  And to be honest, I find the General Discussion board, and, indeed, most of the non-sex boards perfectly safe for work. 

First of all, accessing an adult website in a college library is more than likely going to get you expelled from college in the first place. Most colleges that I'm aware of do not like such browsing, so I would suggest you *not* browse this site from your college.

Secondly, you do not *have* to use the shoutbox or upload an avatar; there are plenty of people who do not.

Third, again with the iPod? If you have a hard time typing a post on your iPod, why the HELL did you join a FORUM, for god's sake? Why don't you go and browse 4chan's /d/ board?

Your complaints are first and foremost a personal problem over which I can neither help nor advise on, not having had an iPod in my entire life. And your reasonings for why I should change this site JUST to suit you are flawed and unreasonable to say the least.

QuoteHonestly, I find it a little bit offensive to be told "Go to GameFAQs, don't hang out and converse with others who share your fetish".

And I find it quite offensive that you think I should change this site just to suit your needs when you are the only one who seems to have issues with it - issues, I might add that ONLY YOU can fix;  I think you need to back off right now, look at your internet browsing methods and devise a better means that allows you access to anything you wish before you complain about a site design.

QuoteI understand where you're coming from, though.  Obviously, I've been able to handle these issues on my end.  I just thought I'd share em.

Let me make clear this point;  It's not the exact issues you've brought up that I find offensive - it's the way in which you've done and the reasonings behind your feelings that I find not only offensive but insulting to boot.

To paraphrase Vincent Valentine:  It's not so much what you're saying, but the idiotic way you're saying it.

Look, sir, I already said at the end of my post that I was dealing with the problems.  I didn't say to change the site, I was just offering a possible reason regarding just why that guy may have called the site "shitty".  I didn't do anything like order you to change the site.  So I'd appreciate not being compared to Don Corneo for sharing a problem I had, on a subforum dedicated to suggestions and complaints.  If you find that offensive, I'm not sure what to say.

It has nothing to do with Don Corneo; it's the quote that matters. I don't care if you think the site needs to be changed - it's the manner in which you asked and the reasons you gave why you felt it needed to be changed.

I did not call you Don Corneo at all.

Only thing I'd suggest would be to change...I believe it's the IRC chat, for whatever reason, I think my cursor automatically ends up there or somewhere else, making it a bit of a hassle to go back with Backspace or scroll with the arrow keys (much easier on laptop than the fiddly scroll strip). Definitely a minor suggestion, but it couldn't hurt to put my two cents in, right?

I kinda like the new design, looks nice. The color scheme withthe starry backround looks a bit odd. Any way to change themes here?

Also i find it hilarious someone was complaing about worksafe. If your looking at fetish stuff while at work, you either have other problems to worry about, or the most laid back and private job ever and I want it.

You talking smack about my starry background?   :censored:


No, but seriously, I don't think there are other themes available because I've never asked Duce about them or had him upload any. I rather like my starry background.   :death:

Don't mind the starry backround, just think the almost default looking colors of the forum look odd with it.


You know, now that i think about it, doesn't having the wetting pic on the 18+ warning of the site kinda defeat the purpose?(though i guess it serves as an indirect nws warning)

We had a big debate on it a while back, Ora...  the consensus was that it would prove this wasn't a child-friendly site so that no one would actually click on the link.

Of course, it's not like it's really gonna stop anyone..  <_<;
