Problems and Suggestions for BZ - Post Here Pinned

Yeah, I mean, I guess there's a fine line between trusting our membership to follow the forum's guidelines and removing the sense of immediacy that makes posting so satisfying, but I see no reason why we couldn't have a chat about the best way to strike a balance. In the meantime, please do feel free to hit ye olde report button if you see a post that breaks the rules.

But when it creates more work to delete duplicate topics, posts, etc. Maybe just a nice nudge to remind people to be organized would help you in the long run. 

That being said, how about a separate section for Magazines and Campaigns. The people who post magazines and campaigns don't always care for the model but rather the art of it. If we can have a whole sub-section for Victoria Secret, there is no reason why we can't section just for editorials and campaigns that can be easily found by others. So many people are scanning here and creating random model threads just to post their scans. These members need a spot to come together. Its not like you have to move anything around none of it exists.

Just an idea of how you could lay it out.

Magazine & Campaigns

1. Vogue World Wide  (Sub sections by decades & Country)

2. Elle Worldwide  (Sub sections by decades & Country)

3. Cosmopolitan World Wide (Sub sections by decades & Country)

4. Campaigns/Print Ads (Sub sections for fashion campaigns, commercial campaigns, etc)

5. All other magazines (Sub Sections for magazines with lots of additions like Shape and Grazia)

6. Photographers 

7. Hair & Makeup Artist

If someone is interested in Valentino the designer, they should be able to go to that section and look at all of Valentino's creations. Similar to someone who wants to see 1970s editorials. Just seems like the next progression to be made.

My tiny suggestion is to enable topic ratings in Female Musicians and positive only reputation in all content sections.

Keep up the great work!

I don't know if it's just me but I've been getting this a lot since yesterday.

BZ has been lagging big time the last few days.

Is it because of the privacy thing on the bottom right of the page and new sidebar stuff?

Same here.

We have been having some DB issues @Matt!  @Stromboli1 @Stormbringer

I have made a few changes and indexes to hopefully improve the issues.

The privacy thing is a requirement by the EEUU and California for legal reasons, nothing I can do about that

Let me know if it continues to give you problems. Thanks.

Hey,

Another tiny suggestion is having a clear list of allowed file and image hosts so mods are on the same page about what is allowed.

Also IPB is dumping the imageproxy with 4.5 but they do leave an option keep the cached images on the local server. Since BZ can host images to keep them alive as long as possible it's a good way to preserve a lot of them. It's not on by default during the upgrade.

Cheers!

Can we please have search within topic back on mobile? It used to be available some years ago and I have asked half a dozen times to have it back on the current site software. Thanks. 

Posts are taking 23-24 seconds to "save" which is not a big deal but far different from the almost instant way they used to. (The size of the post is not a factor.)

In any topic in particular? Is it more pronounced on large threads than normal ones. I havent noticed any delay but any info is appreciated.

We use to have imagecache enabled, but it created a huge mess back in the day so we disabled it. I dont forsee going back to it. 

Ideally just upload to our servers so it will be saved forever

When I first joined here there was bellazon etiquette. You had to have a bio or for models stats and agencies. What happened to that? I remember your thread would get deleted if a model didn't have a full name and "bio". Ads, Covers, Editorials all were labelled to the best of your ability. None of that seems to apply anymore. Can we please go back to having some kind of general format for threads because the amount of reposts due to not labeling is insane.

 

 

Yes I am working on implementing something like that. Thanks.

Any topic, any size. With Edge or Firefox. Tried one text only, same thing. Tried Imagebam, same thing. However lag time is down to 16 seconds today.

Have you tried chrome? I cant reproduce on Chrome/mac.
