You put some work into that and I really appreciate it! That is a really interesting take on it. I like the colours and i like the clean shapes. The things that come to mind are, the site isn't purely about movies, it will also be about tv shows, comics, games, etc. So having a film reel may be a bit misleading. t is something to work with though and the fundamental premise and feeling are good. ( bbcode buttons are fixed too, sorry about that)

Ha! I've never done that before lol - here we go! (image) I think your two background modes should be light, or disco - - they're bright, colourful and positive, it makes one feel GOOD to look at it; And you were bang on, coral looks so good in a logo! A white/Disco site with coral film logo welcoming people? On a landing page LITTERED with media in carousels, enticing people to browse, and click, and explore long before pages of forum discussions are on their page. Anything but dark with red and gray - coral and teal would be so nice - - and other fan edit sites, and loads of dark web forums already use red and darkness and it risks being dungeonesque - - I really think bright will be so nice for everyone involved and visiting! But you have Vito rights and decisions! - - I'd say two modes/background colours is a decision, anything more is indecision masked as choice. And I like the logo nodding to film/editing - but again - these are *sloppy musings* - you can dismiss them all!

Wow, sorry about that! I had no idea that button could have been broken by adding the upload button. If you need to do it now, you can put img tags in manually, I'll take a look when I get back to the other room.

Drats! I keep hitting Image url attach and I'm getting nothing!

i'm just testing uploading an image into a post with the new upload bbcode button. (image) looks like it's not parsing the url properly. edit: now i hardcoded the base url so it's not gonna fail!!

a topic about site colours. I'm happy for people to talk about this, how do you feel about the site colours, the existing themes, the site logo etc. I'll provide the psd files of the logo so you can have a look. I'm open to design suggestions. I may not go with the suggestion but I like to consider alternatives. current ones - (image)(image)(image)(image) here's a link to a google drive folder containing the PSDs

Image upload!!!! Currently the upload form is attached to the user card, you can use it to upload an avatar :) click your name ^ the uploaded images can be viewed in gallery

Amazing! Ta!

Okay! * edit fanedits * edit fanworker/creator * bullet points * proper formatting in bios and description finito ^^

Yeah Vimeo is one of the allowed embed. I think. It should be anyway, if it's not, I'll be able to add it easily enough. There might be potential for another video platform too, if one exists with adequate protections. The ability to have a view that shows videos rather than posters, that is a very cool idea. I'll try to remember that. Feel free to remind in future if it appears i'm working on a related area and seem to have forgotten about that. * Poster view * trailer view * list view

FanWorX poster grid looks very promising! I imagine trailers will be embed-links to save on hosting them: Will Vimeo links work? And will the trailers be within the subcategory of a clicked-on movie? I look forward to trailer content fitting in, whenever that comes, at zero rush.

Grand! And I noticed submission info doesn't allow for indentation/bullet form, it submits it all as a single paragraph - at no demand or rush, I'd love to clarify edits in bullet form rather than block paragraph, please and thank you.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll raise the priority of editing functionality.

If at all possible, I'd love to be able to tweak/update content after it's submitted; right now, entry titles, details, posters get locked in after first submission (as does editor bio and avatar)

I see where your coming from, pretty sound logic and it definitely helps to come prepared in case of mishaps. Thanks for getting back to me, my anxiety has now fully been quelled and I definitely think I am going to enjoy my time here. I am happy to have been able to help out in the development of the site in some capacity.

I've created the profiles system for fanwork creators. currently you can claim your own creator page after submitting some fanworks. The claiming process only has a submit function currently, so be careful, it's not editable right now. I'll add that later. If you do mess up, let me know. I can delete the data from the database but it's a bit of a pain to do.

Good question. The oauth is only used at signup to protect against bots. It's not required once an account is created. Your user credentials are store on fanworx and are the only requirement after signup. I have also added an oauth option to use twitch to sign up and there is a plan to have a reddit oauth, with a minimum karma requirement. Fanworx is meant to be for everybody so it's important that I cast the net wide in terms of sign-up methods. I kept it restricted to start off with as it's sensible to not run before you can walk. I wanted to keep sign ups minimal in case of any hiccups.

Hi, there have been instances where well.....let's just say things got a little hairy on the Discord server that I am apart of to put it mildly. I believe said server was required for me to sign up here due to the oath system otherwise if it's just a matter of me having a Discord account than there's no current issue with me being on here. In case of an instance where said Discord Server goes down I was wandering if other methods of maintaining my account on Fanworx could be implemented whenever possible and if such is possible of course. I apologise if this request was posted at an inconvenient time, I am just a little anxious about losing my account as I generally enjoy it here and look forward to returning to Fanediting sometime in the new year.

I have finally created the fan works page. Users can submit their own fan edits. more types of fan works will obviously come afterwards, but this is working for now, hopefully without any hitches.

So, I'm a 70's kid, I hit the big five-oh in 3 months *sad face, coz no emoji showing the despair at aging horribly exists*. Fun fact, I'm triadne's older brother irl. You probably won't see me post much round here, I'm gonna be more of a lurker as I don't really do any of this editing stuff, but I'm always fascinated by the work my sister does, have even made the odd suggestions from time to time. Plus I mainly live on a Power Rangers themed message board. I love Lego, gaming and all things Japanese, including plenty of Tokusatsu. And a newly discovered passion for creative writing. I'm also slap bang in the middle of a diagnosis for Autism, which is taking way too long considering the years I've had trying to make "professionals" see it, until finally a wonderful primary carer I had agreed with me.

I changed the user icon / profile picture so that it will draw from the oauth account if available.

I looked into the legal side of it and surprisingly, the online safety act says my responsibility ends after the form sends the email. I keep a log of that email, but that's it. Honestly, I'm actually a little uncomfortable with that. While we have policies that say no kids, we have to be realistic in that kids will find their way on here. I'm not comfortable with the idea that some predator could do a fan work of a popular kids show and use it as a honey trap or whatever it's called. That prospect makes me sick and I need to ensure that doesn't happen. The fact the law doesn't account for thta is kind of shocking considering the amount of overreach it has in other places. Well in any case I don't think it means I can't legally I can, but I want to have a way to more carefully keep tabs on any fan works of children's franchises and have strong moderating/reporting tools and stuff like that. Edit: If I set up an email proxy/relay then that would form robust protection. I'd require an oauth check up front, but not require sign-up. strip email addresses from any replies and scan the links. Keep logs.

I mean... I do really like how having an email address shifts the burden off of me. If I'm clearly encouraging people to take any link exchange off site, and not encouraging it on site, then it puts me in a better, safer legal position. (because I am legally responsible for everything on this server)

Fair, @traidne! I'd say engagement would have echelons: 1. Cold end user - Joe Everyone who lands on the site, and with an email address (to send the download link to!!) and a checklist of the legality and ownership attestant, they can get a fan edit with virtually no roadblocks besides respecting the law 2. Movie Lover - Someone with a FULL account signed up; perks include requesting edits, accessing the forums to chat, and being able to leave reviews and a watch lists 3. Editors - People who make full accounts and want to submit their own edits It is nothing different than Fan Edit Central, and nobody has shut them down. It makes you click a button to attest to ownership, request a copy, and await a link in your mailbox. link text - FEC database; been around more than 20 years. The path of least resistance for newcomers and non-editors is in the above 3 echelons! This is the silver bullet that will separate us from the bad fan edit sites, and improve on the good ones (FEC is not intuitive and has shite gui) Case in point? FEC is why nearly 500 people have watched and emailed me their thoughts on my cuts. I crave feedback from editors, yes - and even got a couple from FE, but end users? I've made people happy - those are good numbers - FE.org users don't see that level of traction...FEC is why so many "REQUEST" emails are in the below picture folder - and those users write back. This system works! (image)

Yep, I added the message edit feature, you can edit your messages. I don't even have a current way to see what the previous message was, there is no record, so you get to control what your words are and Even I can't go back and see any mistakes. Might need a paper trail though for future, just in case. it'll be secure though, whatever I may add. But only in case of potential legal stuff, you know safety and protection, that kind of thing.
