Thanks for getting back to me on my querie, I am glad that the intent behind the design philosophy of such a database is more open to ones style of fanediting firsthand rather than forcing the editor to prove themselves firsthand and compromise there vision in order to meet a rigid criteria. In any case if there are problems relating to the quality of any potential future edits I may do I can always jot down any useful notations I find in the potential review sections to improve the quality of my works overtime. I,ll of course be sure to put down certifications and plenty of content warnings for my works if any of them lean into ''Mature Content'' territory so that at least the viewer or viewers know what there getting into firsthand and whether such material is to their liking or not. Nice interface logos and icons beneath the BBCode Help function by the way, I see the expansion of the sites features is coming along rather nicely.

what does mine look like?

I added topic views so we can see engagement, also added total posts to forum cards. I also added unique user icons that are generated from username. This is just to give some visual feedback for now, until I make a image upload system.

I understand why you ask this. The intention is to be a comprehensive database rather than a curated showcase based on prestige, The fanedit pages will be made by users and maintained by users. There will be no restriction in place. Aside from preventing abuse of course.

Hi, I know that it's probably gonna be a while before people are able to add to the Fanedit database and I know that Fanworx isn't primarily a Fanediting website. But when the Fanedit database does become a thing will a First Time Faneditors process become a thing? I hope an FTFP doesn't become a thing given my previous distressing experience with such a thing, honestly I am hoping if possible that one will someday be able to just submit the database description for a Fanedit. I do understand however if you felt an FTFP was necessary, I sincerely apologise if the timing of this question was inconvenient, I am mainly asking out of curiosity and it's something that's been on my mind for a while.

a related issue was the reply form being disabled once it had been loaded the first time. I reworked the reply forms so they are created properly in each new position

I think I've nailed down the issue with logins being expired too quickly. I've made sure the cookies are stored with a 30 day expiration after last visit. I've also stored security keys in a secure folder on the server so hopefully logins should persist even when I restart the server software. I don't know how many people found it annoying, but I am hoping that should now be done. please let me know if you have issues with it.

ah! I forgot to add that spoiler tag! well I just added it now and I figured i'd add bbcode buttons at the same time so this should be easier. So there are things I didn't say about the movie that would have been spoilers. such as how (spoiler hidden) having previously seen how he was (spoiler hidden), we sort of got the sense that he (spoiler hidden), but then this happens. It's (spoiler hidden), so I really recommend it!

Well I haven't seen Nobody I didn't think your description of the film contained spoilers. I say this because ''Guy who's mundane life goes by only for surprising stuff to happen'' is quite a common film trope, that and you didn't go into the specifics of what his mundane life contained or what the surprising stuff was. I think your description definitely gives a good summarisation of the film without going into the spoiler inducing specifics of the films narrative, music & cinematography.

Need to start off with a generic topic. Last movie I watched was..... Nobody. t was quite interesting to watch his mundane life go by and then for some surprising stuff to happen. Oh! I just realised I don't have a spoiler tag.... Let's just say the movie was well made and very interesting!!

I've created expandable subforums on the forum page. It's basic for now, so I've left the uncategorised listing below them. next up is to create proper subforum cards with bits of relevant data and easy way to access most recent post/s. The initial subforums use specific tags that I added. the tag to use is simply the title of the subforum. capitalisation is not taken into account so don't worry about that. so if you want to start a topic about movies, just add a 'movies' tag. to your new topic.

Currently, the tags are available to use in the new topic form. Please feel free to use them, but don't go too crazy, at some point I'll need to organise them.

I've created a tag system that will form the foundation of site hierarchy. Currently the tags only rest within the topic header, but in future I will create the ability to place them into any hierarchy I wish and use that hierarchy to have things like subforums. I will also use the tag system for categorising other aspects such as franchises, fanworks, reviews, etc.

Great! I got that notification in my emails, so this is all working great! thanks!

Here is a notify I just made for you

It's taken quite a while and I had to overhaul the coding architecture, but I have now implemented email notifications of topic replies. so now, if somebody replies to a topic you're subscribed to, you should get an email. The method is in each topic, there is a checkbox in the header to subscribe or unsubscribe. there is also a checkbox in replies that you can untick if you just want to hit and run. You will also be auto subscribed if you create a new topic.

This may be a bit dry for some people but i want to point out the issues I’ve had implementing the email notification system. I have embarked on creating the notifications functionality four times now and come across major issues each time. It's been quite frustrating so I've done a deep dive into the different coding architectures. I'd started using razor pages as I like the clear object based system, but have been finding that I needed to use javascript more than I'd like. I can to the realisation that I need to use an MVC approach instead, which entails doing more work on the server rather than in browser. This might be meaningless to many people, but i feel it at least gives a heads up as to how things are going. It's a shift in how i have to think about what the browser does and how the server side program operates. It's a bit tricky to get my head around but i've arrived at an understanding. I believe i have a firm plan now and i understand how to create the email subscriptions and notifications. Hopefully shouldn't be too long, I am struggling with a bout of extreme fatigue right now but i hope i'll have some good energy tomorrow.

Today have changed the date display so that when things were posted is much easier to discern. For example, if something was posted 2 hours ago, it'll say "2 hours ago". Much more elegant. I am still working on email notifications, promise.

No worries ''Art takes time'' as they say, hope you had a nice time in Liverpool. Thanks for implementing the feature I look forward to seeing how your sites features develop as it evolves.

i shifted bbcode and formatting to maximum priority. I have added a bbcode help button into the reply form. bbcode will display fully in topic view, but the preview will remove formatting and display as pure text. below is a preview of the bbcode. bold italic underline strikethrough text (image) colored text small large huge quoted text code text

Sorry about the wait, went to Liverpool for the day and was exhausted. I've created a text parser and added a bbcode system so now you can format your posts with more flair. it's a bit clunky currently with having to type in the bbcode tags, but for now this is functional and i think I should focus on other things before adding buttons for it. Best part is, the line breaks and spaces all work well.

Thank you for this description, there are some really good points here. I hadn't considered having a page directly to fanedits or fanart or fanfiction, but that's good. Also the included information is really interesting! Age eating and software used! Brilliant!

Thank you for saying so. I'll shift this to the top of my priorities list for when I get home tonight!

I've noticed that when posting a message on this forum that all of the text tends to stick closely together even when I am trying to space it out a bit to make separate paragraphs, as the title of my message suggests I would like to propose that whenever possible and if it's possible that one should be able to space out there texts so that text walls become less overwhelming which would make digesting segments of information much easier.

Hmm I am not sure what to suggest in terms of structuring the layout of the other segments of fan related media at the moment although they do intrigue me, as for how pages of users Fanedits could be structured maybe something like this. (Faneditors) Could be positioned next to the Privacy Tab for easier and quicker site navigation, clicking on it could lead to a subpage showing a Faneditors gallery. | (Faneditor Name Gallery) This could essentially be where the Cover Art and Fanedit names are stored for that individuals Fanedit, clicking it could then lead to the database subpage. | (Fanedit Name Database) The info contained in said database could be arranged in the following order on a single page. | 1: Original Media Name/Original Medias Name (If combining multiple movies or TV episodes together) 2: Original Media/Media’s Age Rating 3: Fanedit Age Rating 4: Content Warning 5: Fanedit Genre 6: Fanedit Type 7: Fanedit Running Time 8: Link to where the source was brought from/can be purchased from (Something like Amazon) 9: Editing Software Used 10: Non Spoiler Technical Cutlist (Or alternatively if the Cutlist does contain narrative spoilers it is hidden to the viewer unless they click on it) 11: Type A Review (This could lead to the review subpage for that specific edit)
