Multimedia broken and unplayable, also plays as a music, but no video

alexstringr 8 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 8 years ago 1

I've encountered this recently when I was watching on some SL multimedia "stuff" :D


HERE the broken: https://beta.furrynetwork.com/multimedia/5464/trainer-vs-rocket/

It says "No video with supported format and MIME type found" and download gives some XML error (connection error, corrupted file and etc...)


HERE the "music player" after download plays both the sound and the video (as a normal mp4): https://beta.furrynetwork.com/vargrvanguard/multimedia/collections/24091/?viewId=3374&viewType=multimedia


Seems like a recent and new bug

Improve moderation

tOiBonnie 8 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 8 years ago 3

I submitted a ticket regarding misleading tags and the moderator came up with an excuse to not take action, if this was FA, posts with misleading tags would get taken down ASAP, and when searching the exact same tags on FA, not a single post is misleading, somebody better teach these mods a lesson or FA will run Furry Network out of business

Importer compresses original size image

Difetra 8 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 8 years ago 3

After doing some comparisons I've found the furaffinity importer compresses the original image. When uploaded manually this does not appear to be the case. While the submission view looks just as bad, especially with the example because of the gradients, but that's a different issue.


The images sourced from the download link

Headings Markdown not working

Ernos 8 years ago updated 8 years ago 4

Hello, 


I was posting one of my stories, today, and I wanted to use the headings markdowns for my title, but noticed that no matter if I was doing "#' , "##" or "###" in front of my title, the same style would come out, the Heading 1 style. 


What I wrote :

The result :

What is shown in the markdowns syntax list, at the bottom of the submission content:

I am using Google Chrome, on Windows 7. In case that helps

ActivityPub Support

Takyoji 8 years ago updated by Issac Sarrowtail 8 years ago 2

As FurryNetwork seeks feedback for different approaches for social media integration, I would recommend implementing ActivityPub support. ActivityPub is a recent standard by a working group of the W3C, as a federated social networking protocol, as a simpler, cleaner successor to OStatus. It would allow the ability to federate with emerging networks such as Mastodon, and anyone else that chooses to adopt it.


It can be implemented in a simple broadcast-only fashion, if desired, such as for having a means of artists being able to publish to any subscribers of any newly posted content. Or go even further, with allowing fully federated commenting (of course, anti-spam concepts can be implemented, such as with having server whitelists/blacklists, moderation queue, etc).


Secondarily, it would also provide a standardized protocol for accessing updates on FurryNetwork from third-party mobile clients, in the same style of a Twitter client.


ActivityPub is a fairly minimal JSON API, which has both a client-to-server protocol (for having a mobile/desktop client) and server-to-server protocol (for federation), using a basic metaphor of an inbox and outbox. There's also considerations for efficiently delivering updates, such as sending a message once to a remote server, for all subscribers on that other server, versus individually sending the same message to each subscriber on the same remote server individually, and so on. It's also a fairly extensible protocol, as it follows JSON-LD syntax, thus you can add any vendor-specific extensions, if needed.


To find more information on the spec, you can find it at: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/


If there's any questions about specifics with the protocol, feel free to discuss directly. The working group that's in charge of developing the standard is also fairly contactable via IRC/WebChat as well (especially for feedback on the standard).

A way to delete uploads?

John 8 years ago updated by Twilight (Lead Administrator) 8 years ago 1

I have noticed that there is not currently an efficient, straightforward method for one to delete their own posts. "Request Takedown" is for copyright infringements and reporting your own post could possibly work, but it is highly inefficient. If there is not already, could an option to delete one's own posts be added?

Answer

If you wish to delete one of your posts, you can go into the "Uploads" tab and select the appropriate category on the right (artwork, photos, etc). Find and select any you wish to delete, and it brings up an editing panel on the right. At the bottom of this panel (you may need to scroll down), there is a trash can icon, click that and out will confirm if you want to delete. I hope this helps!

Reallow Cub Not Safe For Work

SorenLover 8 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 8 years ago 1

Listen, The cub community makes up a sizable part of the furry community! And you put us at a disadvantage by the banning of Cub porn, Just Listen to my appeal, please, For one I do not like Cub porn, But I am deeply effected on this site by the lack of cubs


1. Freedom of Speech: Now I know what your thinking, this card has been pulled a million times before, right? And I know that it is your site, but these artists just want to express there creative and artistic talents in what intrests them, I know it is your site and all but your losing so many amazing artists thanks to the ban


2.In Relation to other kinks: Now, I am confused by this, Why is it that kinks like rape and Scat, Which are disgusting are allowed but vanilla cub sex, Which isn't as disgusting but still kind of is, Is not allowed? I don't understand this


3.The impact on ALL cubs on FN: There Is a MAJOR impact on the cubs of Furry Network, If Furry network wants all the furry artists  they could want and to be the number one, It really needs to start helping out it's cub community, What you did when you took away the cup porn, You destroyed about half of our community right there, and the lack of cubs sent another 40% scuttling away, That leaves only 10% of the former amount here ITs unfair


4. Why No blacklist: I mean Come on people if you don't want to see it you don't have to cry to Furry Network Support Just put it on your black list


5. What's next A ban on Bestiallity? Or maybe all porn in general, You can't let these crybabies get away with ruining the cub community on FN, Come on guys!


Thank you for taking your time to read this all and I hope you can consider it

Restore the right to draw cub porn.

SorenLover 8 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 8 years ago 3

Cubs make up a BIG part of the Furry community! And in that Cub porn is there as well! So many people are interested in this, including artists who like Safe for work Cubs as well, The ban has driven all of that away! That 2/3rds of The cub community, and even then because of the less amount of cubs even more cubs are driven away, People should be able to express there ideas and artistic talents in whatever artistic way they want, And I respect and understand that you are the owners of this site, but it is unfair to ALL Cub and littlefur artists and roleplayers, As we can not find anyone to share are cub ideas and RP with, Please atleast consider this appeal, It really put all of us cub artists at a disadvantage, as well. Because of the lack of cub/littlefur RPers and Artists on FurryNetwork There is not many that share out creative views and so amazing and great Cub artists that try to make it here on furrynetwork are hardly ever seen because there is not enough fellow cubs to premote there artwork! Please on behalf of all the cubs that have intrest in this site but are driven away by the lack of cubs and Cub porn ban, We beg you

Sharing posts to social media

Digby (Community Manager) 8 years ago updated by Seazar Toma (セザ トマ) 8 years ago 3

Hello, everyone! We've been looking at what users think about having a quick button to share to social media. From the poll we had, a lot of users were for it.


Image 386


The poll is still running, but there's definitely a desire to be able to share art quickly and easily, resulting in several benefits:


  • Posts will reach people on social media, providing links back to the original artwork. This will get you more views, more attention, and potentially more commissions.
  • You won't need to rely solely on FN users to share submissions. If you don't have many followers on FN but have a good crew on social media, you can reach that group in just a couple of clicks.
  • As posts are shared, the site will likely gain more members and grow. Growth helps everyone who uses the site.

There are a few things I want to discuss when working on this to see exactly how we would implement it.


Should all submissions be shareable?

I personally lean towards yes, and here's why. When furries go to browse FN, they should have a set of expectations for how the site will work. If they can share some posts on social media but can't with others, it'll make the tool much less valuable - why browse with the intent to share if I can't on some images?


In addition, galleries inherently are about sharing; users upload submissions because they want others to view those submissions.


Finally, any submissions uploaded to the gallery can still be downloaded and shared; without a formalized way to do it, though, there's a higher chance someone will do that without giving you credit or posting a link to find your profile. 


I understand some submissions are meant to be private; we do have an unlisted category, and we may wish to prevent sharing to social media for those. 


What sites should we be able to share to?

Twitter is the big one - more furries use it than any other service, and they tend to be alright with a wide variety of content. If there's enough demand, we can look at other sites, as well.
