I love it. The biggest thing is that I can have all the recent posts populated together instead having to go into each thread.
Thanks, guys!

Really love that you can favorite, rate, and comment on stories.
Could we get an edit feature for authors to make minor edits to their own stories? If we're worried about people completely changing things, maybe some sort of version log to go with it, so you can view previous revisions?

Cool - the post count came over - I didn't notice that changed until now.
I would think we could come up with some "level" specific names.
"Sidekick" - "Hero Supporter" - "Heroine" - "Super Heroine" etc etc...

Well this was gonna be my main complaint with the new site too, so I'm glad to see it's being looked in to.
all so the sorting of story's seems a bit wonky to me, when I click "by Author" most of the time it still sorts story's by title.

One minor thing I'm less thrilled about is the interface size on the forum.
Too much scrolling action required now compared to before. I'm not sure if this is intentional to fit the new icons, but I personally prefer forums where I can see as much of the content as possible in 1 glance.
But again, it is only a small issue for me personally, overall it's a huge leap forward so great job!
Hi Revan, i'm currently looking at different forum skins to see if there is one out there that has a smaller interface or a interface that will close elements to enhance the ability to view the forum.

The sorting by author is still baffling me, in the back-end it has all the settings set to sort by author but in the front end it sorting by title, it was the big thing that I want to sort this weekend but I'm on stand by so I can't do much to the site, it's going to have to wait until next weekend.

there is 6 posting ranks, 1 moderator rank, 1 admin rank and 1 spammer rank.
i'[m thinking of changing the names of the ranks to fit in with the nature of the site.

Well, it would be nice if the SWM Gallery tab did not bounce up and down. I am sure it will get fixed at some point.
I am glad I am not the one who will have to reload the story bank. It will be nice when that is fixed, but I am not going to hold my breath on that one.
I think what bugs me the most is that any time I make a post, it starts blasting my E-mail inbox. I would like to have it not do that unless I want it too. I have figured out how to unsubscribe, but I hate having to do that after every post.
The login is no big thing. It knows my name and password, I just have to click Login, and I am not that lazy that I mind doing it and I am sure that will get fixed soon.
On the plus side, This site handles picture so much better, and let's face it, we are very much about visual images. I also like the latest topics. The way it worked before, if you signed in you could see all the latest posts, but if you left, they disappeared and you had to search manually by date which was a pain. I don't do a lot of PM's, but this is much better as well.
And I think most people like having Avatars. It gives you a chance to make a personal statement, but at times, some can be difficult to decipher.
Once debugged and we all get familiar with it, I think that it is a definite improvement over the old very good but somewhat limited site, and I think the Admins deserve a big hand for what must have been (and still is) a huge effort on their parts to get this site up.
Hey, I just noticed the little check this box to be notified of replies right below me. It was checked, but It wasn't too hard to uncheck. My preference would still be to have the default as not checked.

My biggest complaint is that I can't save pictures from threads any more. I can't right click and "save image" like on just about every other web site in the world, including this one before the changes. Using Mozilla on Win XP.
Also, when looking at the forums, we're now seeing thumbnails of images in with the thread titles, and it makes things really messy, as well as being slow to load.

That info is highly classified but because it's you I'll tell you.
Supergirl rank is the currently the top rank and it will take 600 posts to get there, however that might change over time to a higher number or a new higher post count based rank might appear.
Watch this space.

I think I might be in the minority but I'm not sure that I like the new titles.
I mean, just because I'm a fan of Wonder Woman or Supergirl does not mean that I want to be Wonder Woman or Supergirl. I keep thinking of that creepy guy on youtube who makes videos of himself dressed up as Wonder Woman.
I would prefer more generic titles like "Sidekick", "Trainee", "Hero", "Iconic Hero", and "Legendary Hero" or something similar.
Just my two cents worth...

JD if you can think of 6 titles of that nature for the various rank then i'm happy to change them to that, i've had a complete writers block on what titles i would use, what you are proposing would be cool.

Personally, I'd prefer the ranks to be labeled something like: Titania or Dark Supergirl. Or maybe something generic: "Chinese Supervillainess" and "Japanese Supervillainess"
Just kidding, the ranks are cool as they are.
