Major Site Update

Post by seraph0x »

Dear Milovanians,

We just finished uploading a major site update. The design has changed, the tease browser has dramatically changed and we've got a new forum. I really hope you like it, I've tried to modernize the theme while staying true to the previous look. Now we need your input to fine tune everything! :smile:

If you experience any bugs or glitches always try hitting Ctrl+F5 first and see if that fixes it already. If not, please post your troubles here or send an email to [email protected] .

We also have a new suggestion feature that tries to guess what kind of teases you like. If you have rated more than five teases and would like to help us test and bugfix this feature, please look here for instructions.

All in all, with an update as large as this (much of the site's innards have changed a lot) there are bound to be some problems. Please make sure you report everything you notice, so we can get a picture quickly and start fixing. Thanks! :wave:

Opera users: We're currently having some trouble with Opera, but those problems should be fixed soon. Sorry for the inconvenience. :-(
Edit: Fixed. Everything should now work in Opera. If you still have problems, please report to the Tech Support forums.

Ok then, have fun with the update and let us know what you think. :smile:

Best Wishes,

Seraph0x ;-)

PS: And another big news item today: We just had our 10000th forum post! I'm not quite sure whose post it was, but I think we can all agree that it was a community effort anyway. So a giant thank you to all posters! :thankyou:

Fixed. Thanks for the report. :-)

Also, I'm planning to improve and integrate the search function further, I just didn't have the time yet.

First 5 minutes with the new site:

- My list of teases that I've created has disappeared from the profile page
- Clicking on a user's link to see their profile gives a 404
- When logged in, if a view a webtease, the status box in the top right showing my username and 'logout' indicates that I'm not logged in.
- I've marked a tease as my favorite - but I can't see where to get my summary page of my favorites.

Fixed, press F5 to see the change.

Fixed for the tease list, let me know if the problem also pops up somewhere else.

Ok, both of these two problems can be solved by clicking on the change filter/search link right above the list of teases. That makes a whole menu popup.

But I can see how that might be quite hard to find. Sorry about that, I'll think of something to make it more obvious. :-)
jp wrote:Annnnd (sorry, keep thinking of more), the "Live on Milovana" isn't working right now. Still shows the second MAFAT tease as the latest addition, not any of these forum posts.
Fixed.

This is fun. :lol: Keep 'em coming! :thumbsup:

Ok - I used the change filter thingy and clicked on My Favorites... but the list that came up had 4 teases. The first one was the one I had just maked as a fave. The other 3 seemed random. I don't recall even rating them.

Should be fixed. Try again now please. :-)

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it! :love:

I think I'm done for the moment. Looks like a lot of hard work has gone into the update. Thank you for a great effort! I'm liking the new changes a lot.

:huh: Could you send me a screenshot via PM or mail, please?
jp wrote:Close, but no cigar. It updated, but it shows 32,000 some hours ago as the most recent post (which is the announcement at the top of this thread) and still doesn't show the actual most recent post.
Time fixed. The post text is gonna take longer and it's not a priority, so that'll have to do for now.

Thanks! I know I should've done a better job at testing everything beforehand, but at some point you just have to jump into the cold water and just put it out there, you can never anticipate every single bug anyway. :-)

I just tried to add a new page to a tease I'm working on and when I tried to save it I was brought to a page that said The tease could not be accessed. Not sure if this is a bug due to the update or just a problem I'm having, but I thought I'd let you know before anyone else tried to add a page to a tease and losses it.

EDIT: Forgot to add that I'm using Internet Explorer and it was a tease I had first created before the update.

Thanks for the report. I think I know what was going on and it should be fixed. If you do have the problem again, please let me know!

Things look nice...very sleek.

I have a question about the Search/Filter function, though. Overall, I like it. However, I am wondering why I have to go to a separate page in order to search for teases. I can search for the author on the first page, but to get to the teases, I have to click another link. There doesn't seem to be a reason for it that I can see.

I often search for teases...more than I search for authors. I'll type in 'Piper' to get all of the Piper teases to come up.

I just think they both should be on the same page...that first page.
