Thanks for the hard work.

Can I ask one thing? If the LL now has anon posting, how do we assure that men are not posting "by accident"?

genuinegirly · 02-21-2009, 05:19 AM

Whoo hoo!!! Blogs are better! Thanks for the updates.

Baraka_Guru · 02-21-2009, 06:31 AM

Man, nice work.

grumpyolddude · 02-21-2009, 07:07 AM

Nicely done, Cyn. I'll be taking advantage of a few of these changes as soon as life gets a bit less hectic.

dippin · 02-21-2009, 08:28 AM

I can't see the first link. I assume I dont have enough privileges yet.

genuinegirly · 02-21-2009, 08:34 AM

The thread that comes up for the first link is in the moderator forum. The tread is just testing out whether or not the anonymous posting feature is functional or not after one of the admins fiddled with settings. Not quite sure why there is a link to it here.

bobby · 02-21-2009, 09:06 AM

great work but does any of this affect me?....xoxoxoo

I see. I know I don't have full access to everything yet so I thought it would be that. Thanks for clarifying.

snowy · 02-21-2009, 09:52 AM

Thanks so much for your hard work, cyn. It is very much appreciated.

I'm glad there are new features with the photo albums, especially the ability to move photos from one album to another. Since I got my camera, I've been using the albums more, and it will be nice to keep them organized!

Doh! You're right. While I would suggest that it be on the honor system for the time being. The men know they aren't supposed to post in their and doing so would be worthy of receiving a warning or penalty. In other words it won't be done as an honest mistake like it is now. If it becomes a problem we can always remove it and the the love ladies that do want input from the community can utilize the Sexuality forum as a backup.

You're right. It was early in the morning and I wasn't thinking so clearly anymore. I'll make a suitable demo and redo it.

Don't feel bad, bobby. I, too, have only just discovered the photo albums.

One thing I did notice about the albums though. I couldn't find a way to quickly go back to the 'root' of the album. Like if you click on a picture to view it, and hit the next picture link a few times, is there a link back to the album's index?

And most importantly, thanks for the hard work in getting the changes in so seamlessly.

MikeSty · 02-23-2009, 05:04 PM

Anonymous posting eh? That's amazing.

Grancey · 03-01-2009, 05:22 AM

I noticed that the "member since date" is now gone from under the avatars. Is that part of the upgrade? I kind of liked it, but I can adjust to the change.

Great. I posted this question in the wrong place. I will now be posting this question elsewhere.

queedo · 03-02-2009, 01:40 PM
