BZ Redesign - Please comment Pinned

Initial thoughts:

Each model, actress, etc gets their own picture thread and section type where you just upload the pictures.

You subscribe to each individual model and threads to get alerts.

Their threads has their stats and info with tags as well. Can search the tags too.

You can favorite and comment on each picture.

Numbers stats page for each model.

Keep the discussion forums.

Another thing that could be fun : a banner updated every month, could be like model of the month or actress of the month or something. Picturepub has a banner on the top left corner and i find that very appealing 🤩

Yes I like the stats part (I don't know what they mean, but stats are always good). Also, stop visiting weird sites.

Can do a Listal type design too.

The model picture thread would look like this.

The numbers under the pictures are comments (under Sydney if there are any) & favorites (under Sweeney, the numbers start out as white and turn green when a certain number of favorites have been met).

Will we move some of the most recent content to the revamped Bellazon forum? Hmmm.

I don’t want to get rid of some of my favorite models’ threads on here. 😀

@Stromboli1 most of your images are not attaching correctly for some reason. Thanks for all the ideas, but any suggestion as to design themselves?

I personally think 500px is pretty nice

could have comments on the right side like this:

Just a thought.

Everything will be moved over. and since it is a migration, all the "dead" images would be purged and that way when you go to the first page of an older model they would actually have working images, instead of pages and pages of broken images.

This was something we designed like 5 years ago.

Hihi.

These are my requests / thoughts.

1) Possibly a limited reaction set , or at least a thumbs up.

2) I mainly use The Fashion Spot as an alternative to here. I like that they casually to hard enforce a limited text description

(photographer, publication name, date of publication at the minimum) with image posts for attribution, ease of search, and to limit reposts.

3) If AI can do it, maybe there’s a background AI image checker that could be added to prevent reposts of the same or lower quality images / vids.

4) The question whether to make another IG clone or something else will probably drive the design, personally. It is a balance between another content hosting website, archives, commentary, and/or community.

Sadly, I do not have any actionable suggestions / tips / tricks for actual web design.

Looks great! Any desktop designs?

Potential Pros & Cons of adding a “Thanks / Like” system

Pros

Reduces clutter: Fewer “thanks” or “+1” replies, keeping threads cleaner.

Improves engagement: Lets quieter users participate without needing to comment.

Quick feedback: Posters immediately see that their contribution was helpful.

Highlights quality content: Highly-rated posts become easier to identify.

Positive community vibe: Makes it simple to acknowledge useful or well-written posts.

Cons

Popularity bias: Well-known users might get more reactions regardless of content quality.

Potential misuse: Users might spam reactions or form cliques.

Fewer meaningful replies: Some people may react instead of providing actual feedback.

Reaction pressure: Could lead to competition or drama over who gets more “thanks.”

Extra maintenance: Requires additional UI work and adds another feature for mods/admins to monitor.

IMO the pros definitely outweigh the cons here.
