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*

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.

Episode 7 of this show aired today and it's gotten to a point where I really like it. It has been a slow build up to be honest. I didn't hate it to start off with, but it didn't 'grab' me. Now I feel like I'm invested. The design of the costume is really nice, although there are places where the construction seems poor, I think usually the version that is used for a lot of the more acrobatic kinds of movements, it looks a bit poor, but I can live with it. (image) (image) The way this is released is pretty good too this year, being a youtube release means that people all around the world can watch it. Of course that does mean fansubs are going to be a bit lost and that is sad, but I would like to see more varied ways that fans can interact with the show now. Full episodes are available on TokuSHOUTsu, but I don't know if that's in every country.

Hello my name is Prism, I love movies. I was born in the 2000s but still my array of film knowledge is vast and ever growing, I love a good 80s adventure, a superhero blockbuster, really I love a lot of genres, except horror and some more obscure. But really, if your film is entertaining, then I'll enjoy it! I have wanted to become a fan-editor as I love the concept of fans fixing broken films, not all films are broken, but frankly sometimes seeing a fan pay homage to the past in a re-edit of the sequels instead of adding stupid lines like "Somehow Palpatine Returned" can be really satisfying. I've yet to really sink my teeth deep into fan-editing but I want to, and maybe here I'll feel allowed to.

So about me, who I am....... I'm an 80s kid, love videogames. got into coding with BASIC on our first commodore. I always struggled with remembering syntax though, so I tend to use the frankenstein method, grabbing code from other places, figuring out how it works and changing what I need to, to fit in with my code. I created TheGuyver.net in early 2000s and grew the community to many thousands of members while Guyver was in it's heyday. I started the Guyver Advocacy project, initially translating on my own using Italian books, but later bringing others on board to help translate from Japanese. Guyver is on Hiatus now for many years and I left the site in the hands of a friend several years ago. I have a degree in animation and studied film and video since college in 1998. I started fanediting around 2020 and have a few relatively successful releases. I developed 2 video games between 2015 and 2019. They aren't very good, but I made a decent number of sales on them and at least 1 or 2 people like them so that's okay. The games can be viewed on Steam, called Acid Flip and Super Minesweeper Attack. I live in the UK, I'm female, I'm adhd and autistic, I like to listen and learn. I'm adaptable, non judgemental, always wanting to learn and improve my understanding of others. I'm always ready to change my world view and i like debates and in depth discussions.

I've created full forum views. I created a simple admin tool that lets me create forums relatively easily. I also made it so the forums can have emoji icons for easier identification. I made a dropdown box in new topic form to select from the existing forums.

Thanks for the perspective. I am also concerned with the potential invasion of privacy, so I need to have some form of lock on it, so a moderator or admin can't just go snooping. When I eventually do set up direct messaging, I'll need to think very carefully how to balance privacy and safety.

Yeah I am definitely not a fan of the UK law changes that have been made or are attempting to be made recently and I say that as someone from the UK. I do feel that monitored private messaging is a bit of a double edged sword as on one hand it's an invasion of privacy and one could just use the report button to inform staff of dodgy activity, on the other hand though it would allow staff to react faster in dealing with troublemakers especially if the user feels to scared to use the report button. Probably isn't an issue for those who optionally choose to leave there email addresses available or if they have other means of contacting someone online as they can have private encrypted discussions elsewhere. Otherwise I see no issues with this sites online safety act and am still invested in it's development and eventual population of fanmade content.

I've create a safety assessment to ensure compliance with the law. I would prefer to allow appropriate discussions as would happen in a public place like the park, a restaurant, etc. but UK law seems to be a bit of a mess at the moment, so I need to be more stringent. Whilst public registration is not open yet, I need to have this in place before I do open it up. I welcome all feedback, opinions, etc.

Thank you for the feedback! It really means a lot.

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
