Subject: A Couple Questions..
to your point, Denise, this is why some folks i think do not understand why limiting the number of posts a day is a dead horse.
if i am limited to say 5 posts a day, i can still post at the very least 25+ images within those 5 posts BECAUSE of that lovely multi-image gallery option, so how would limiting me actually be limiting?
I agree with RodS, the multi image has its uses. There are cases where one wants to add a behind the scenes or render settings for example.
Also, the "Activity Feed" is a bless, I wish it has a grid layout similar to the galleries, like thumbnails side by side.
About the dead horse: Remember when you were a kid, and your mom said you could have two cookies, but you wanted four cookies, and so you argued and pestered her until your two cookies turned into zero cookies, and you found yourself sitting on the curb eating a piece of celery thinly smeared with peanut butter - and not the good peanut butter, the greasy, oily, store-brand peanut butter mom got on sale for $1.50. Yeah, it's like that. Instead of arguing about the two cookies that weren't going to turn into four cookies, you should have been arguing for a tall glass of Kool-Aid to wash your cookies down - but now all you got is a mouthful of sticky peanut butter, a nasty piece of celery, and the gross metallic-tasting water from the garden hose to wash down your disgusting snack.
The only problem I have with the multi-upload feature is there is only one description box for all the included images.

@Rod
i guess i must be missing something here. i know that not all 25 images would generate 25 thumbs, but i'm not sure why that matters?
@Wolf
it's not that i don't understand the unmovable cement wall... i guess what i'm alluding to is that people have said that a lot of images these days look the same, just variations of a theme, i guess [that's if i understood it correctly]. and we have a multi-post option that maybe is under-utilised[?]. so truly my thought was if i just NEED to post a lot of images in one day, but i'm limited to how many posts per day, that Rendo has still provided me with a tool i can use to fulfill my need...
honestly, it was more just an observation/comment, and not taking another swing with my studded bat at the pretty pony...
here - have an apple instead ;)

actually, i tell a lie... there is inconsistencies in regards to activity feed... you will always see nudity there as that has never been properly filtered from the start, fyi...
just tested it for that specifically, and these are the steps i took:
found a pic in the galleries w. nudity...
changed my profile to end seeing nudity...
went to the activity feed of the person w. the nude image...
viewing nudity on activity feed since gallery options don't prevail in that area of the site...
hope this makes sense
Content Advisory! This message contains nudity
not a cache issue in terms of the Activity Feed...
steps taken:
logged in
found a random nude image
went to person's activity feed and bookmarked page
logged out
cleared cache
closed browser
opened browser
used bookmark without logging into the site at all
my results are captured below, and as you can see nudity is quite visible there. it's been this way from the start of the whole activity feed.
if i am logged out and IN the galleries, the nudes won't show, same as having the filter on in my prefs; however, Activity Feed does not follow the same rules - you still see whatever thumb was made for the galleries without any alert that there is nudity if the thumb itself is devoid of nudity. i'd assume it's the same for any of the gallery flagging features.. shrug...
that is my point... glad you understand...
but just in case:
if i use no gallery filter for nudity, i see all nudity everywhere WHEN I AM LOGGED IN
if i turn the nudity filter on for the galleries, i see no nudity period EXCEPT in the activity feed WHEN I"M LOGGED IN
if i view things WHEN I"M LOGGED OUT, i still see nudity on activity feed, meaning no flags carry over to the activity feed area...
better yet, try this scenario...
i am a casual viewer of the site, maybe a member, maybe not. i am browsing not logged into the site, and i am at work. i see an image and am wanting to know more about the artist, so i hit that Profile link above the image i'm looking at [which has no nudity because i'm logged out and i can still see the image]
so, i've hit the profile link, which takes me to the page where the Activity Feed is, and suddenly, unwittingly, i'm at work looking at NSFW images.
which really sucks cause i'm actually on my lunch break, eating at my desk, etc., but my boss just happens to be walking by behind me and sees what's on my phone. whoopsie...
or the scenario could involve a younger person who is browsing the net, or a whole host of various circumstances - i mean pick your poison, so to speak
btw, i'm not complaining or finding fault. i personally have no monkey in this particular circus. i'm just trying to be helpful in the sense that this site has a ToS, has flags to filter out nudity, or violence, has Mods to enforce said ToS, etc., so it gives me the impression that Bondware is trying to be extremely user-friendly, and maybe even protecting its viewership/potential members/whoever, esp. when not logged in, and maybe when logged in as well. i'm just simply pointing out an area on the site that may, or may not, depending upon who you ask, seem a bit inconsistent...
change it or don't... shrug
edited to add: honestly i was just trying to answer Wolf's questions as thoroughly as i could
@Wolf
to be fair, you did not ask the question directly...
you said that TPTB had a question regarding how the nudity flag operates for the end user within the galleries, which i answered, but [I] was of the mind that maybe said PTB might also want to know about how flags, nudity/violence/etc. work across the site since the activity feed is directly, uh, fed via the galleries...
maybe they didn't want to know, or already know, or do, in fact, want to know... regardless, to be clear, it was me who opened the worm-can, not you... my bad
here, have another apple - wormless, btw... they're good for you :))
@Giana
Oh, I see now. So, that's how this got on the subject of flags. No, I was only clarifying why an image that would require a content advisory (the nudity, violence, or language tag) can't be submitted into the contest. It was a conversation that had bled over from sitemail when Rods brought it up here. I was only clarifying the answer I'd already sent in a sitemail because since Rods mentioned it again here, I thought perhaps he hadn't understood my sitemail answer.
However, you did discover some interesting things that will be passed to the devs. Good looking out.
Wolfenshire, Moderator/Community Leader
Naw, I understood what you were saying, Wolf. I just wanted to give you a little poke in the ribs, bud. I know you don't get enough of that around here.... 🤣 I did make her change her nightie, and sent her back to the contest. She didn't want to change, but I told her I'd buy her a new nightie if I won. LOL

Quick question...
In browsing the forums, I've run into several banners informing me "Heads Up! This user's messages are blocked from your view." These are from one particular person (I think you know who). It doesn't bother me, particularly, but I cannot find a setting to do this so I can return the favor, so to speak. Where might that setting be hiding? 😉
Thanks!

Nope. Didn't work. He has me locked out of anything he posts in the forums ("Heads Up! This user's messages are blocked from your view.") so I can't select a message from him to get the buttons at the bottom.. I want to block him from my messages as well.

It works both ways. If this individual has blocked you, you can't see there posts and they can't see your posts either. So you don't need to do the same, obviously if your off line you can read everything, only when your login will the block applyNope. Didn't work.

And for the record, it's very easy to click that button by mistake, so if you can't figure out why you're getting that message it may be you accidentally hit it. In that case you click that same button to "un ignore"
Yeah, like I said, it's really easy to click that button by mistake. That's initially how I found out where it was, because I accidentally clicked it once. All of a sudden I saw blue bars and couldn't figure out where they came from. LOLBut this is not a commonly known feature. Right now, I'm on 2 individuals' s__tlist for no reason that I can think of.
Wolfenshire posted at 8:03 AM Mon, 30 January 2023 - #4454925
Here's what happens in my case.I don't have that button on my screen, so can't experiment with it. Are you saying you don't get any kind of warning/confirmation dialog when you push it? If so, I can pass that on to the devs, because that seems like something that should be added.
Sometimes if I'm not sure how to answer a question re Poser, I click the third button (Copy Link) and send the link to someone on the dev team or whatever. But I miss and click the fourth button (Ignore User). I just tried to test it on you but you have POWER, you can't be ignored LOL
So I temporarily tried it on someone else. And no, there is no warning. You just get a message that you have successfully ignored the user. There is a link in that blue bar to "unignore the user"
Wolfenshire posted at 8:26 AM Mon, 30 January 2023 - #4454928
Yeah, but maybe a little more than that. Because I wasn't aware until this came up that it hides YOUR posts from the other user also. So how about this?So a confirmation box that pops up to cancel unintentional presses of the button would be useful.
"Ignoring a user will hide all posts from that user in the forums. The user will also not be able to see your posts. Do you want to continue"? And then click Yes or OK, or Cancel.
It's no different from any other social media site with a block feature. If a person is trolling, being a nuisance, or intentionally trying to derail a subject, but not necessarily breaking the tos, and we have plenty of those, you block them - you have no obligation to listen to them. They can still talk, you just don't want to hear whatever they're saying, and for many reasons. They have a right to free speech, and I have a right not to hear it.

On some of the stated points, I agree. If you think things have changed since 2009, it's even much different than in 2000 when I first joined. Back then there was no marketplaces. We all learned how to do things and experiment together, and things got shared in free stuff. That inspired people to learn more, and to do more. Definitely more of a team spirit.
There is still that, to some degree, but not as much as back in the early days. Nowadays, you can find most anything in the store and purchase products that do those things for you. So there isn't as much learning or collaboration.
On the gallery flooding, I have my frustrations as well on the amount of repetition, and I have my "pet peeve" list as well. LOL
it's a start to allow multiple images in a single post (like multiple renders of the same character, for example), but to that I would also suggest allowing it to be assigned to multiple genres. People AND Portraits AND Realism, for example. Instead of having to post in all three categories (because you don't know which one gets viewed most), you have one gallery thumbnail in What's New instead of three.
With these two things in place (multiple images in multiple genres), you might be able to limit the number of posts to one per day. Or maybe even three.
