Lanzer's Journal
WYSIWYG
First thing to address today is again to do with inventories. Moderators currently have a tough time access large inventories to manage items. So now those pages are properly paginated and fast to load. Happy moderators = happy users!

Gaian reported some glaring bugs with favoriting other people's favorite where the person who created the favorite got notified instead of the avatar owner. Also the database didn't store the owner correctly. Had whip up a script to change the 40000 favorites that were incorrectly recorded. sweatdrop

All the WYSIWYG editors have improved by leaps and bounds over the years, and to not have a nice text editor is definitely very 2005. I wanna put something together to show all Gaians in a few days.

[10am]
Noticed that there's a lot of bots posting ads on journals for some reason. Drove a huge ban hammer through those accounts and you can finally find real journal updates when you hit http://www.gaiaonline.com/journal/list/all

[4pm]
Favoriting other favorites will autofill descriptions and hashtags,
Pagination now available on myfavorites page

[9pm]
There is now ranking page, new entries page and my favorite page available for Gaia Favorites

PS - while reading through error logs I found that the Marketplace stats had been failing due to the size of the marketplace data. We have raised the memory capability of the servers and Marketplace stats should be refreshed every day now.

Better to alter 40,000 then 400,000 so that's good it got caught early.
I keep my inventory trimmed down to 2k just to make it easy to dress. I wonder if these changes will help with that and allow to have all items (muhahahaha)

I use the website on my phone and computer... and I don't touch the app. The site is just too big to fit in a small box like the app already created. Anyways better gaia and other themes are around to help with text editing and stuff like that. I'm sure you have heard of it but it's soooo nice to have the alterations they have made applied to the site.

All in all sleep well n.n

Hi Lanzer!! Thanks for working so hard on our behalf.
Just a couple things: when you search your username, only a few of the people who have added you come up (less than half? For me, I get 11 results, even though the last time I went through my notices, I counted 33 favorited notices), even if they tagged you by your username. Also, there seems to be some kind of a bug with the announcements -- the notifications won't go away, even if you've read them.

Oh gosh, thank you for making that change. Let's just say last night, after a few drinks, I was really confused as to why someone had favorited my avi 9 different times, then realizing they had faved my favorites!


I had another odd thing yesterday afternoon where a captcha had already been filled out. Haven't seen it since, but perhaps someone else has encountered the same thing. I believe it was on a reply post that it was already filled in.

Aw, I kind of liked seeing when somebody added some of the stuff from my favorites to their favorites. razz It's also how I got to go take a look at many other people's favorites and find some nice shinies among their favorites to add to my own.

Thanks for improving the inventories and text editor more. smile

On the issue of favorites, it seems next pages are showing up in search results in favorites, but not in the collections of favorites that pass 100 avatars in them. Only the first 99 or 100 show up even though at the top of the collection it still says there's more than 100 in them. Is this going to be fixed soon?

Thank you so much for the work on our inventories! And yay for getting rid of those bots' journals! Maybe now we can get rid of having to do a captcha for every entry? It'd be nice, at least. whee

Thanks so much for all the work that you and the staff have been doing so far.

I posted a thread a few weeks ago in bug reports and nobody has checked it out, but myself and other users are unable to set up secondary authentication for our accounts and it appears to be an issue with Google-- not us. It keeps chalking up every token we receive to invalid. Would the staff have time to look into this? It means a lot to keep our accounts secure, because you do have a group currently going around mimicking IP addresses and bypassing the first verification.

*sees the further updates now too to fixing things and banning a bunch of bots* It is so nice having you back in charge, lanzer. I almost forgot what it was like after all this time to actually like the people in charge here and approve of and trust their priorities. crying

It feels like we've had more improvements, fixes, and code updates in the last week or two than we have in years. Thank you for all the hard work, Lanzer. I've been enjoying the journal updates, and as a fellow coder, I have been both entertained and sympathetic. I know this pain. ^__^;;

Keep up the amazing work, but don't forget to take some time for yourself. We don't want to see you burn out or get yourself sick. <3

Thanks for the further updates to favorites. smile I'm still not getting pagination on THIS page though, a collection page with more than 100 avatars added, but only 99 displayed images and no link to a next page.

Is there a reason I am not getting notified when someone favorites my avis? I tried looking into my preference settings but I'm missing it lol.

And thank you so much for the inventory update. I have 9k+ items and I saw a huge difference. Very much appreciated!

(please give me more dress up slots? 100 is not enough for me <3)
