Quick idea for you. Would it be possable to make it so that if you go to save a chat, the system does not log you out when you do?

The easiest way to prevent, until a better solution is found, is after clicking on the save chat icon on the screen do not save it directly from there. Copy and paste it into a word file and save the word file. That prevents you from getting booted and yet you still obtain the desired information.

Just an FYI folks,, started to set-up and move areas to the new "archive" sections,, ALL these areas are still available to ALL and if I see threads coming "active" we'll move em back to the regular section !!

Thanks for your patience

Would it be possible to have the thread auto reacivate if someone were to bump it or post to it?

[blythe spirit]

Where is the new archive section located? I don't have a map and don't see it listed at the top of catagories from which to choose.

[Torq]

ID Crew, If someone posts in the Archivesit will still show on main, If thread is active enough I'll move it only takes a sec, can't set it to "auto" move

Blythesprit, The archives are located at the bottom of each section, no map required, LOL.

Thanks

Yipppppeeeee, I found it. It's under the dirty pictures. Okay - so I hesitated for a bit before going further, shoot me.

[Torq]

FYI The archives are done for now,, Have left approximate 1 years worth of threads/posts/etc.
The archives are at the bottom of each section and contain each sections threads.
Any threads from archives that become "active" can be relocated to main area as needed.

Thanks

Quick thought that just came to mind. Maybe it'd be a good idea to have a part of the forum for newbie's. i don't specifically mean newbie's to the site but newbie's to the lifestyle, i've run into a couple of them in the chat in the past couple of days and i think having an area that they can ask newbie questions, be it about the lifestyle or about the site might be helpful. Sometimes people are shy and afraid to ask questions and potentially be ridiculed, maybe this would alieviate that?


Just a thought.

[thirst]

Drusilla,
Great idea - I was one of the newbies you "counseled" and I'm appreciative. It is a bit intimidating at first for a newbie, in front of the vastly more experienced masses.

[Draco]

Maybe would could have newbi mentors. Not trainers per say, just people who are good at helping new people feel more comfortable in this new enviroment.

Hello Torq

first off....the site looks great.....good job

the question if have is about the edit and report "buttons" being so close together in the Visitor Messages area..........is there any way to put them at opposite sides of the screen???.......

thanks

The story submission and updating systems should be altered to allow the updating of story codes and the summary. By my understanding, it is necessary to reupload every single chapter in order to add or delete story codes, and this has lead to significant problems with some of my stories.

Just an idea off the top of my head: A newbie section? Similar in concept to newbie munches itf. A place for useful, basic information about the life - ift and online - with perhaps a few of our own "experts" sharing their early experiences - an informal mentorship almost. I'll have to think some more about ways to structure it, what to include...perhaps there are others here who have some ideas? Please share!

That sounds a good idea to me- I'm concerned about how many new people post in Personals before they get any info. Perhaps there's a way to 'encourage' them to read some relevant info before making a thread.

Sort of what to watch out for, a guide to writing the intro, what to expect etc.

I'm always concerned that new people are being preyed on by sleazes, burned badly & leaving the lifestyle for good. Sure it's always going to happen, but it'd be nice to do something to help.

The story submission and updating systems should be altered to allow the updating of story codes and the summary. By my understanding, it is necessary to reupload every single chapter in order to add or delete story codes, and this has lead to significant problems with some of my stories.

Similar in scope to this idea, and one I've been thinking a bit about as I continue working on my stories, its quite possible (perhaps even likely) that different chapters or sections of a longer story might require different story codes. For example, one could have a light playful scene in one chapter and a darker more serious scene in a different chapter. (If its in the same chapter, there is no problem with choosing multiple story codes to reflect that for that chapter if there is more than one level of scening going on within that story.)

So I guess this leads to a question: As it exists right now, do story codes apply across the entire story, or are they kept separately for each part of a story submitted? If its the former, I'd recommend instead the latter, and if its the latter, forget I posted this and simply acknowledge that for me.

[Torq]

FYI To answer the questions,, Story codes are for the entire story, not individual chapters. Once story/codes are input they remain in order to change the 'story' would need to be re-posted.
Thanks

[Razor7826]

Yes, I know they are for the entire story, not for individual chapters. However, there is the section that says:

"The following fields are optional:
(please do NOT fill the form below unless you want to update the information)"

and lists sections for a new summary and new set of story codes. Is this information just trashed when it is submitted? Is there really no way at all for the admins to update either without having to re-upload the entire story?

My goodness! The more i read the more i understand the kind of work that must go into putting together the site that we all enjoy so much. Thank You, T & T and staff, not only for all the work You do but for allowing input from us as You go. What a monumental task it must be to change things like colors, buttons, and wording at our request just to improve the site small bits, to our liking. It takes a dedicated team of people who are invested in their project to do so. My best to You, Your staff, and any sanity that this girl and her friends may have left You with!

First let me say "dito" to what neitsyst2 posted above. Thank you all very much.

Then i have a suggestion: It would be kewl when members profiles had a link to all that member's stories (in case she/he submitted any) or a note saying that he/she didn't.

And if that feature already exists i'm sorry, i looked hard but didn't see it.
