setting up latest messages expand, and url for topics
I completed the latest messages page. it seems to be all good. I also adjusted the layout of topics so it fills more of the screen and gives more space for the text of the messages. if you don't see it, force refresh to purge the old CSS and it'll update for you. I started working on having urls for the topics and it has been mostly fine for actually assigning the urls, but getting the right topic to load when a url is pasted into an empty address bar has proven a bit more challenging. I need to unify the topic loading sequence into one singular process so I'm not dealing with multiple variables each time.

Your Best Trailer
You guys have a talent here. This is the kind of thing I struggle with. I don't think I have any decent trailer tbh. I think I'm quite good at telling a story and changing focus, etc. but when it comes to music video, I'm just like... *shrug*

You already know how much I love your cutting! And this is better than anything I've put together, but constructively I'd reconsider the visual lyrics as it leans more toward back when we'd watch Much/MTV music videos for collaborative musicians doing movies; it feels like it's more about "The NIN" of it all rather than the film - - but it doesn't negate your excellent use of imagery (from all sources) and the more than indelible work!! OH! Like Seal, Kiss From a Rose - or "Freddie's Back" for Freddy Krueger - - Music videos would come out and it would blend film and musicians, etc.

Aye! Outside of Canada, New Zealand and some non-English speaking countries, it is fan fiction! Do give the above link a try, it'll stay active! :)

Good thread, thanks for sharing. :) I'd like to add a content warning for the video as there is adult imagery in it, but I think it's OK to post it here as youtube does an adult content filter on it. As long as we're careful I think it's ok.

I'm a bit confused. Is this a fanfiction of James Bond? If so, that's really cool, my brother may really like that. :)

setting up latest messages expand, and url for topics
after I switched this page to a more modular approach, I am now able to create 'versions'. The plan is to have it so you can see more recent posts, it will expand the recent posts to be wider and show more, and you can easily switch back to main view. Javascript was becoming unruly though, with 13 processes listening for mouseclicks. I needed to combine them into one listener, which meant rewrites. I have just a little bit more to do on that, then i can continue. after that I will make it so that topics actually have a url. It'll all work the same, it'll just update your url bar with the path to the topic so you can link to it directly. ETA is the next couple days, tomorrow if all goes well.

JAMES BOND
In every country except Canada and New Zealand, Ian Fleming's Jame Bond is public domain! Outside of said countries, it is an epic-scale fan-fiction! If you love to read, I'll happily share the e-book of Volume I with you! It mayyyyy be a 254,000 word epic in two volumes. Maybe. "James Bond - Fire With His Hands" I'd love for you to enjoy!

Who Is This Guy?
Same here. I am an iMac (Apple Macintosh user) so the key for generating an emoji is probably different for me, I can happily confirm though that this site is perfectly iMac compatible and that I haven't ran into any issues so far.

Heya Prism, it's good to see you here. Although I already spoke to you plenty on Discord, I figured it would be polite to leave a reply here.

It's ok, I'm a night owl. I could certainly look into adding an emojis button. If you're on windows though, you can actually get an emoji input by holding the windows key and pressing fullstop/period.

I really wish I was more fluent in our beautiful native language (I was eventually able to translate your greeting) I definitely owe it to our country and it's awesome flag, dragons are always a win in my book. *Smiley face* Speaking of which heya neighbour it's nice being able to talk with someone who has similar interests, thank you for letting me be apart of the site by the way. *Smiling closed eyes blush emoji* If there isn't an emoji button yet is one planned for the future out of curiosity? I apologise for waking you up, if you need sleep than no worries talk to ya soon.

Who Is This Guy?
Thy site reveals thy name....I was born in the early 90's therefore under generational categorisation I would be categorised as a 90's kid and a Millennial though as to my place of origin, it began in a village within the continent of Wales (A place that resides to the West of England and South of Scotland for those outside of the UK who may be unfamiliar with the geography) I was diagnosed with Mild Asperger's Syndrome when I was a child and diagnosed again as an adult. I have also self diagnosed myself with OCD which is in eternal onflict with my Dyslexia, there battle wos and still emains legendary. As a Faneditor I edit the following kinds of movies for the following reasons. 1: Films I deem bad and I believe have a chance of redemption as fixing them is very therapeutic for me. 2: Films I deem good but not perfect so that I can have said film meet my standards of perfection, the power of my OCD compels me. 3: Simply because I can, I can rewrite and reedit entire sequences and characters if I so choose as long as there's footage and audio for me to work and rework with. Outside the realms of Fanediting I unofficially practice a form of Martial Arts known as Shotokan Karate and indulge in the practices of various styles of Photography with my favourite forms of photographic experimentation being Landscape and Abstractive shots, I am also into various forms of Anime and Manga that are mainly of the actionized Shonen Jump variety though others have slowly opened up my plethora and intrigue into other genres of Anime and Manga throughout the years. I am also into Comicbooks and Graphic Novels such as TMNT, Batman and the vast majority of Marvel. At least....when there storylines aren't indulging in Retcons and repetitively stagnant writing, Video Games are one of the other forms of multimedia entertainment that I enjoy indulging in to the point where I will constantly revist them in differing ways such as creating my own challenge runs or custom characters with their own set of skills, backstories and differing aspects of morality if said games happen to be RPG's. Otherwise I will simply revist said medium as a means to pass the time or for the sake of nostalgic value. When it pertains to online and offline discussions I despise subjects concerning IRL Politics, Climate Change, Actor and Author related controversies and Religion VS Religion related debates along with Atheism VS Religion debates. Such topics have not only inflicted serious damage upon my mental health but have stained and sometimes outride destroyed my various related bonds I have formed with people throughout the years. So if I don't partake in discussion threads related to such topics or I attempt to steer the conversation elsewhere and avoid addressing said subjects entirely if someone tries to engage in said discussions with me well....now you know why, on a more light hearted related note I enjoy previewing and reviewing other Faneditors edits though I like to familiarise myself with the original source material first as I feel that is the best way to not only aide one during previewing but it also adds more fuel for me to strengthen my style of reviewing a Fanedit. As long as said Fanedit doesn't delve into the distressing themes I mentioned above, doesn't contain animal related gore and isn't a full blown musical than whenever I have the freetime I am happy to help should one desire my help....naturally if one wishes to know more about me or is interested in viewing my Fanedits feel free to PM me (once Private Messaging has been implemented/is already implemented depending on the time and day one should choose to read introduction)

Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning - The Quicker Pace Cut (title subject to change.)
When I watched the latest and final installment in the Mission Impossible franchise I left dissapointed. I didn't hate it, but it was overly theological, long, boring, etc. If you love it, that's great! If you don't, well maybe this can help. What am I doing? Well I am working on fixing MI:8 to be yes in some places a bit slower but not lose itself in exposition dumps and create an epic final tale. With Ethan Hunt and his team on one last mission that by all accounts will be "impossible". A big change will be (spoiler hidden) But, I can't fix that. :_: I have so far made the following cuts The opening no longer has the A.I flashback Presidents Message is in mindset of potentially getting edited down or chopped altogether Paris no longer has a flashback to Gabriel telling her she will betray him I am planning to remove the flashback of her remembering Ethan saving her Grace no longer has a flashback explaining who sent her to Ethan, instead Ethan just knows by her dialogue. Ethan makes no remark that he needs his "cuff-links" to escape he just assures her he has a plan (might reverse) When Ethan is picked up by the government we know longer have a random conversastion about how the guy's dad was killed by Ethan so the son now hates Ethan, blah blah, no cut it all. I am definetly removing the ice-dome romance scene completely. I might even look to the deleted footage reel THIS is the only stuff I have SO far I am going to make more cuts. But this is what I've got as of 10/25/26 @10:06PST. I will make more edits For my work so far here's clips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k1NhC4FkCY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KJNR_x-5-g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EJckYyjGnY I've also worked to cut down the Entity & Ethan chat, it got a bit too religious for me with the "As it is written" and "you are the chosen one" so I cut it down. V1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C0ItAEzkyI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU-aFqWYhmc V2 this one is a bit longer but makes more sense and has less editing glitches. But neither are the final, I'd love to see feedback. I must give a shout out to Spence a fe.org member for their minor assistance and idea discussion.

What is the strangest piece of food or drink you have eaten
I ate a bit of pigs cheek, I basically bought a pig head and boiled it. It wasn't very nice. I probably should have considered superior cooking methods.

I've added an edit button. This is a much needed breath of fresh air, as we now no longer need to worry about typos. This was more work than it needed to be though... I've run up a lot of technical debt through laziness... I am currently using a model/view/control method, but I left a lot of razorpage methods in place and now it's getting awkward trying to weave them together. I need to take some time to clean up the old methods. I have been laying some groundwork though so I do have a lot of the pieces already created.

Forum layout upgraded
I have placed new topic buttons into forums now, so you can easily create a topic wherever you are. Should be simpler. I left the new topic button at the top as it may be useful, I wasn't sure if it would prove confusing so I'm undecided on that for now. I wanted to do other stuff, but I noticed some of my naming in the server side code was very inconsistent and it needed to be tidied to save future problems. Busywork. *sigh*

Forum layout upgraded
I did a lot of work on layout, showing useful data in the forum cards and changing the layout so that types of data will be in the expected position so your eyes aren't darting all over the place. I also updated the general layout, nudging forums to the left to make space for recent posts on the right. While there is a recent updates box on the main page, there needs to be a sense of activity on the forum page, so i feel this kind of bulletin feed is really effective at giving an at-a-glance idea of what's new, with a decent preview. next step will be moving the new topic button from the top of the forum page, into the header of each open forum, and having the new topic form open within the forum container. after that, I feel it's important to add a post edit feature and also a way to control image sizes in posts.
