New "HOME" page is sweet

[Hombre]

Just looked and saw how it is looking great.
A portal, twitter, blog, vb4, new NZB section, what more can we expect from this board?

[tesco]

I'm still setting it up.
It's a bit buggy, and very confusing to set up, but it's getting there.

I "promoted" a bunch of the latest news posts into it, and added SOL's nzb posting article to it as well under "How-To's".

[mr. nails]

LOTS more eye candy! makes me hungry.

[backlash]

I have to agree. It looks really nice. The whole upgrade to the site has been great! Only thing missing are the new nzb's on my "new posts."

Everyone hated that! :lol:
Anyway nzbs (Collections) are not posts anymore so they will never show there.

[MagicNakor]

Seizures apparently. :stars:

Is there a filter for which posts show up on the homepage? While I'm flattered, I'm not front page material.

:shuriken:

[backlash]

really? I guess I always loved that b/c I like seeing the new nzbs. Is there a way to show only the new nzbs in that section so I don't have to try to remember what I looked at already?

Ya I can do anything.
How would it work?
Just everything since your last visit, or everything that's unread?

[tcepip]

very awesome

it looks like a newspaper

[backlash]

Hmm, I dunno. Let me think...I guess everything that is new since last visit.

[Hairbautt]

^ Seconded.

[bwayne337]

question - how come nobody ever comments on the articles ? specifically Cabalo's?
fascinating and very interesting, but i wouldn't want to dare post a comment if nobody else is doing it..
haha is it for publicity reasons? blegh

[Cabalo]

From my past experience, I would say it comes with time. It's all still smelling to paint.

[bwayne337]

i'm still a "n00b" - which means in unwritten rules, i couldn't take such initiative. altho i would - especially the one about true crime ^^

[Cabalo]

So why not comment? Or even post news?

Feel free to post whatever you want. :happy: We won't bite. Unfortunately as of right now the (new) News system is still relatively foreign to most people. It'll take time, and I really need to start posting some articles as well, Cabalo's been doing a great job on getting it off it's feet.

And as per Cabalo's suggestion, feel free to post articles as well! We could always use a extra hand every once in a while, and it's not too difficult to start.

I've got it working, not finished adding the links to it in any place yet but it's working now anyway.
Here is the link to new collections: http://filesharingtalk.com/nzbs/?do=getnew
And here is the link to see today's (last 24 hours) collections: http://filesharingtalk.com/nzbs/?do=getdaily

[backlash]

thanks! Also, the reminders aren't working for me. I click on the heart, it turns red and when I click on "my reminders" it just takes me to all the nzbs.

Really? They work for me. :wacko:
Is this the address that the My Reminders link is giving: http://filesharingtalk.com/nzbs/?do=reminders ?

edit: Just found that the link in the navbar was incorrect, fixed it now and updated it with some new ones...

[backlash]

that link takes me to the reminders I've saved. Just checked and now the "my reminders" link takes me there, too. You fixed it! :)

[Hairbautt]

Or it was never broke!

:-D

[tesco]

Ya fixed it.
The link is in two locations, when I changed some code which changed the link I only changed it in one of those locations. :pinch:

And I actually really like this New Collections feature. I couldn't imagine a use for it but after trying it out today I see that it's a good idea. Makes it easy to see everything that has been posted since I last checked.

[brightsid]

I like the stats week's top poster. I hope it's a new feature

[Cabalo]

It's a neck and neck race for the first spot :naughty:

[anon]

Haha, I didn't even notice we had that feature myself, until cinephilia said something like "only Idol can beat anon at posting" recently. I don't visit the home page, I go straight to the forums. :P

[brightsid]

Used to do the same but I was on vacations so I had to visit the home page. Well done anon :P

[tesco]

I added "Latest Collections" to the home page.
Really not that hard at all to make a feature-complete widget for vb4. :O

[anon]

I don't mean to sound like an ass, but I don't like the "Latest News" panel in forum.php. :dabs:

Even if you can hide it, I think it just doesn't fit the place it's on.

[Cabalo]

It's fine like that imo. At least you can close it, which I haven't seen happening at other vB4 forums I visit.

RealitY has been begging me to create some sort of "latest news" thing for the forum and I just found this so I enabled it. :lol:

You should be able to close it at other vb4 forums, it's just a default feature. :unsure:


It would be nice if it would show a thumbnail of the news image, instead of cabalo's avatar four times in a row. :lol:

[Cabalo]

Check this one, I can't change it. http://forum.zwame.pt/

[tesco]

They must have removed the code for hiding it.
Default is the way we have it now.

[backlash]

those links aren't on the main page...how would I access them without coming to this thread?

[tesco]

If you're talking about the My Reminders and New Collections links, they're in two places. Look harder.

[backlash]

I see now. I always clicked the new collections at the top and didn't get anything different.

[josecitox]

I was wondering, the "what trackers offer" section is made with a special vb4 add on?? or is totally made by people like you tesco to the site.

Can you tell me wich add on is?? I´m looking for something like that for a site that i´m working for and this one is perfect, if you can´t tell me of course i understand :)

The site is awesome, i read alot and the changes are perfect :)

[tesco]

I made it.
Not looking to share it, I've had someone else ask me before as well (and many requests for my other creations). I'm sure you understand, if I give away my addons to everybody who asks then what makes FST unique?

[G_P]

The forum looks great !!!
