FanBolt's New Features

Emma · 03-17-2006, 06:18 PM

We have launched three new features that we’re extremely excited about! Our members will now be able to have their journals, a highly customizable profile, and their own galleries!

Journal
Members will have to have at least 50 posts in order to have a journal. The same rules apply to the journal section as the boards, so keep that in mind. If you’re found in violation of the rules, you will no longer be able to use the journal feature.

We’re still working on customizing this section, so bare with us through some of the cosmetic changes that will be accruing.

Profile
The profile is now set up to more like a myspace type page. You will be able to have links to your journal entries, have friends, your own space to put whatever, as well as a link to your gallery.

It’s important to note with the friends feature, that you have to have them listed on your buddy list, and they too have to have you listed on their buddy list before you will show as being friends.

When you add someone to your buddy list, send them a pm to let them know that you’re requesting to be their friend.

Also, don’t go crazy with this feature. The more friends you have, the slower your page will load. Have just your good friends listed!

Note- There will be a place for you to leave comments on each other's profiles soon!

Gallery
All users can use the gallery; however members with less than 50 posts will have to have all images approved by administrators before they are posted. So you can still upload them, there will just be a slight delay in them showing up until they are approved. Images will be approved 4-5 times a day.

Photo limits-
Under 50 posts- 3 pictures a day
Over 50 posts- 8 pictures a day
Over 500 posts- 15 pictures a day
FanBolt Subscriber- Unlimited

With the exception of the FanBolt Subscribers, all user galleries are limited to 500kb.

Galleries will be cleaned out every 30 days. All images will be deleted at that time. This is something we have to do to keep the site running smoothly.

----------------------------
If you find any inappropriate content in anyone’s profile, journal, or gallery, we ask that you report it immediately to an administrator.

If you have any questions you can few the new Profile and Gallery portion of the FAQ or post here.

OTH man · 03-17-2006, 08:06 PM

can we use HTML in our profiles or no?

BellaBlack · 03-17-2006, 08:55 PM

Yeah I heard about that too..and how you do open an buddy list if you never had one before?

ephramwood · 03-17-2006, 10:15 PM

In the gallery do the pictures have to be of us?

Noah · 03-17-2006, 10:19 PM

*Emma*

I'm at Noah's and I am too lazy to sign him out.

The pictures don't have to be of yourself. You can upload whatever you want for your gallery. Later I will be adding more options to let there be more categories for you to add pictures too and people will be able to make their own albums.

You can't use html in your profile now, I might enable it later though. It's for security though. You can use BB code, which will do everything you need it to for the most part. You should be able to use the css to change things though, and I will be posting more on that this weekend so you can customize things

Buddy lists are accessible through your user cp, just look at the links on the left side and you'll see all that fun stuff.

Jon · 03-17-2006, 11:52 PM

Emma, just curious. Will you have our signatures show in the new profiles? I think it'd be a good idea to have them appear as well.

Emma · 03-18-2006, 02:08 AM

I'll work on that later today

I've got a couple bugs to work out, some members are having trouble posting since I made some changes to the usergroups. So if you're reading this and you can't post, don't worry! You'll be able to soon!

test · 03-18-2006, 02:16 AM

weeeeeeeeeeeeee

Emma · 03-18-2006, 02:21 AM

alright, everyone should be able to post, and you should see your posts from earlier today showing up over the next few minutes!

Centerfinn · 03-18-2006, 02:24 AM

Okay but Emma i cant seem to delete someone from my buddy list and i dont mean
as in the buddy list in your profile i mean the one in the user CP

Emma · 03-18-2006, 02:27 AM

well the one in the profile picks up mutual friendships from the users cp, so it is the same thing. What message does it give you when you try to delete someone?

Centerfinn · 03-18-2006, 02:36 AM

Thats the thing i cant seem to delete i click on open buddy list then i like click on the little white box next to names then i click on reload and nothing happens

Andrew · 03-18-2006, 02:36 AM

Oh wow... just noticed the "signature missing from profile" thing myself

...and what are "bbcodes"?

Emma · 03-18-2006, 02:42 AM

You have to delete the names from your buddy list and then hit save. That doesn't sound like what you're doing but I am not sure. Are you completely deleting the name?

And you can read about the bbcodes in the FAQ section, its like a basic version of html for people who don't know how to code. You can use it through the advanced post editor on all your posts as well.

There's a list of all the tags and the descriptions

Centerfinn · 03-18-2006, 02:45 AM
