Not a bug, per se, but a question - how do you access these blogs? I wrote a nonsense entry just to test things, but there's nowhere on my profile that would lead to it, so I'm not sure how other members would ever find it without typing in the URL. Since "My Blog" only leads to my blog (obviously), is there a "blog area" pending, too?

Did a nonsense entry too, and it looks quite good. The format panel is pretty nice <3

Just one question though (hounddog already asked the other one), is it possible to make the "add/edit a blog entry" area a bit wider, or to make the font inside the box a bit bigger? I'm fine with the size as it is, but I think some people might find it a bit harder to type something with the small font :D

Do you mean "blog area" like the "My Stuff" and "MyAnimeList"? I think the "edit" option at the side is fine and it keeps things less cluttered. If you meant something else then never mind :3

To answer everyone's question about "How to access the Blogs". I'm currently building the main "blog page" still. That'll probably come sometime today.

I've also just added a "Recent Blog Entries" to your profiles. You need to set this to "enabled" though (through Blog Preferences or Edit Profile).

Jisatsu, I'm a little confused as to what area you want the font to be bigger for. Can you try to elaborate a little?

Thanks for the comments guys

Personally, I'm fine with the size, but I think it might be troublesome for others who aren't used to reading font that small :)

The same thing can be said about your profile. This site's main drive is Anime lists. I plan on having that be the only section of the site that lets you change your style.

gosh, I dunno what to do... I think blogs are so lame, but I tend to talk so extensively on the anime I watch as it is... maybe I should just do it there instead of on the forums so only those that WANT to listen to my unending chatter about series will have to...

I'll consider it.

Well, played around a little.

1) It'd be nice to have a 'delete' function to delete posts entirely.

2) When I went to edit one of my entries, it had displayed something in <> just fine on the entry itself without trying to make it html, but when I went to go in to edit it, the text inside as well as the <>s themselves were *poof*d.

You can delete your entry through "Edit Blog Entry" option. Is that not it?


Crystal: it's in the works. You can already use "Recent Blog Entries" through your profile page. Enable it through blog preferences.

I know I shouldn't ask until I check, but I probably won't give the blog a go for another day or so...

can you make it private/friends only ?

Okay, I was under 'edit', but erasing everything, um... yeah. The delete button at the bottom was a little confusing. So a couple things:

1) should probably have something to catch empty entries.

2) next to 'view' and 'edit' for the Edit section, maybe a delete link? And have it confirm deletion?

Added in another delete button. Blank entries are caught when you "add" them, not when you edit.

I'm debating on adding something like this. Maybe when a person selects "show recent blogs" it will also add a link under their profile image (in their profile) that says "View blog". What do you think?

Perhaps under there Avy as well as under their profile image. So like right under the send message link under the post count and in the place you mentioned. I dont know how much work that is. So far Im loving everything you have done with the Blogs Xinil.

Hey Xinil I know you work very very hard on the site I just had one suggestion.

Maybe you could make the sections a bit more useful on the blogs. I catergorized a couple of my posts but it doesnt seem like there is a way for me to really organize them or anything by Catergory. Thats all I was saying, its a great feature already though! <3 :P keep up the good work.

Hmm, I notice that you've changed the anime list and message links from under the avy to at the end of each member's posts. I dunno, I think it looked better under the avy? :3

we are too corrupted to get into your age. we are lazy, we don't move or exercise. by the time we hit 30 we're already in a wheelchair and 50% of our muscles have become useless, rotten away.

We die happily wathing anime in our mid-30's.

yup. we die young and happy, and we won't get into the "old ages" like Furuba likes to refer to herself. Back then when she was young all they did was sports and stuff we know from the TV. She has started to corrupt now, and lives a bit longer than we do because she started a bit older to corrupt. We've been doing this since we were born :D

isnt my logic complete? :P
