Site Post » Complete/Incomplete and bios · 9:56pm Jul 22nd, 2011
Someone might like this, made it for a bit of a laugh last night :)
Done a couple of things that needed doing ages ago today.
Complete/Incomplete: Stories can now be marked as complete or incomplete. You can do this in the edit story popup, it's just a drop down box. There will be a column most likely in the archive for it at some point.
Bios: You can now add a bit of text to your user page as a bio. Click the settings button in the bottom menu and you'll be able to edit it there. BBCode is supported so you can add images and whatnot.
Blog comments: Not entirely related to fanfic stuff, I know, but you can now comment on these blogs posts, so please feel free to tell me what sort of stuff you want to see developed and anything you'd like to see improved.
New Footer: Not exactly stunningly exciting stuff, but I redid the footer at the bottom of each page to make it a little less ugly. Still not entirely happy with it though.
Thoughts for tomorrow
Emoticons: Not overly a huge fan of them myself but I'm thinking of adding some pony emoticons. these ones to be precise:
Tracked Stories Page: This was an idea I had a while ago. Basically it'd be similar to the category/latest pages but it'd show you stories you're tracking where you have unread chapters. Could even extend that idea for an "unread" page showing all chapters on the site you haven't read.
That's about it for today I think.
I'm curious about your comments about hoping to soon add explicit categories. Could you comment on that?
Oh yeah I should have added that there really. Might be something I could quickly do tomorrow, it shouldn't be too difficult. Probably just a ton of code to change to filter out stuff....
These are not emoticons. These are eponicons. Those are acceptable.
I freaking LOVE Munchkin.
I'm not a fan of emoticons usually, either, but the ones you picked out are cute. If when we type :( doesn't autochtoge to a Fluttershy crying and instead they're implemented as :cry: or something similar, I'd appreciate it. What might be easier is just a box you tick to show eponicons in your message or not.
As for everything else: yesyesyesyesyesyes! I love the new footer, it looks really nice. And complete/incomplete is awesome and I can't wait for a little column or notation to be available in the archive (and in the sidebar). Great work! That track page is a good idea, and I can see use for the unread chapters as well though maybe an unread story feature would be better?
Yeah the emoticons wouldn't replace any text ones. That drives me nuts :P And I meant unread stories, not chapters.
The emoticons are sooooo awesome! This place is getting better and better by the day! I like the blog idea, it's pretty cool.
Heh yeah they're pretty cool!
And thanks for supporting the site so much with your story, Wanderer.
If I could do more, I would! It's just a matter of time before Fallout: Equestria and Past Sins make it here and *then* there will be a lot of traffic
Awesome.
You asked for it.
Right now, it's not that easy to find an author's profile page if you haven't their userID.
It might be useful to extend search so you can search by user name too, or replace the userID with the user name in the profile URL. (Like you did it with the story URLs.)
(Of course a deviantart-like <username>.fimfiction.net catchall DNS would be the icing on the cake, but I guess the current usernames aren't valid DNS names, so that's probably not doable.)
Anyway, keep up the awesome work!
Aye I'd been meaning to do the user thing for ages. 'tis done now!
That's what I call "prompt delivery".
inb4 it doesn't work on half the usernames for some reason.
DO WANT PONY MUNCHKIN.
hUH.
Who knew doing explorering can find some cool stuff?
Knighty, if you see this.
This is a LONG forgotten blog post.

I think these old posts are rather interesting reads, myself. Site history is important.

OH boy, the fifth blog post ever posted on the site and the first one people can comment on! The other four previous blogs have been deleted, though!
Oh well. Tis fun to explore the site history.
So, this is what the Beginning of Life As We Know It looks like...

*Blow*
*Cough*
Wow, who knew that this amount of dust could accumulate on blog posts...
I feel like an archeologist...
Hello to any and other fellow archivists who have made it this far!
Don't mined me, I'm just another digital archaeologist. Oh deeh dooh deeh doh...
Thank you, knighty! You are literally homeomorphic to Allah!

This is the first blog.
25 Were you feeling awfully prophetic or something?
And yet we still don't have new emoticons, after all this time.
