Site Post » Fancy new user page editor · 11:16am Apr 8th, 2012
Yesterday I took the time to move all of the user page editing stuff over to the user pages themselves. If you head over to your page and click the "edit user page" button at the top left you'll open up a fancy little editor to do stuff in. I'll briefly explain how it works below.
Adding Modules
Adding modules is done by clicking any of the buttons at the top, in the editing toolbar. The new module will be added at the bottom left by default.
Moving Modules
Simply drag the header of any module to move it to a new location. You will need to click save at the top to apply your changes.
Editing Modules
Click the edit module button below any module and an editing window will open up. Click save to apply your changes. They will be reflected immediately.
Deleting Modules
Click the delete module button below any module. You will need to click save at the top to apply your changes.
I'll keep the old page around for mobile users. Let me know if you find any bugs.
Wow! This is awesome!
I would still prefer if the comment box were fixed at the bottom like it was before.
Seems like this past week, every time I've logged in the site's gotten better and better and better
Uuuuuuuuuuhhhh... Shiiiinnnnyyyy...
what the hay happened to the user description?
63135 agreed.
Ohhh yeah! Now this, this is good stuff. Good job!
Excellent!
I want a forum!
63212 Maybe make a group called 'The Forums'? I don't know how well it would work but it's a start.
63145 Seconded. Everything's so shiny and new and delicious...

probably wouldn't work at all. a forum for all users that is publicly displayed would work much better.
Nifty
Loving the changes Knighty.
For those asking for forums, I imagine they'd require a lot of space, bandwidth, moderation, and debugging. While it'd be cool to have them, I'd never ask the mods to put themselves under that level of stress for something less than necessary

Knighty, how u so profesh? This website is so nice. It's ridiculously better than fanfiction, as well as thousands of other sites. Thank you
63145 Except for the removal of the new stories bar at the top... I want it back! dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/yay2.png
WoooooW, just WoooooooW! The user page editing is superb! I LOVE IT!!!
EDIT: knighty, did you work on the dashboard as well? Now it works perfectly even under an old Firefox 3! YaaaaaaaaaaaaY!!!!
YAY

Amazing! Once more, fimfiction has been improved. Let's reach perfection!
I have a question: What happened to the front page? I know you changed the banner but the blog posts are no longer on the right side but the full blog posts are now on the left side of the stories. Is this a change or is something wrong with the site on my computer?
Oh so that is why my user page became too heavy for my 3DS to display, otherwise is a great addition.
Since you are keeping the old editing page for us mobile users (works like a charm btw), would you make the user page lighter for the movile site, please?
Thank you, and good job.
I like it! I got to do useful things, and it worked just fine!
As far as forums- if y'all are okay with not being lewd and naughty, ponychan /fic/ forums is very good and I run a crit thread there and have seen lots of folks come through.
If you ARE lewd and naughty, FIMchan /fic/ is even better ;)
Let's not stress th' FIMFiction admins with the burden of a forum when they have such a good writer's resource to maintain. There's other places to serve as forums. Anyway, ain't groups a little like forums?
Cool, this works great! Easiest user page editing ever. Only thing that would be better is an option to resize each module.
Thanks for another good update.
New user pages are great, Knighty, but when are you going to implement gold accounts? I've been making paypal payments for months now and I still haven't gotten any of the benefits you promised.
The one I really hope comes around soon is the 'featured story for a day' that you can use once a month. I feel that really helps justify the 10$ a month that you've been asking.
Please make a post soon letting your pre-ordering gold account members know when they can expect these changes.
I'll have to take a look at that when I get home. On my phone right now, not brilliant for editting stuff
Good, now that you has all these. Can we make suggestions on some features?
I want a StarSwirl character tag so that there will be more fics on Gandalf x Twilight...somehow.
Fantastic! Finally, an update that I actually like!
One minor problem though.
Why did the site delete my biography? Do I have to write it ALL OVER AGAIN?
WHY???
Good stuff, good stuff.
Have a pony:
I like it! Hmm, what else to suggest, what else to suggest... Ah, I know! I thought of this the other day. In the bio, there are options to include contact info, like Steam and E-mail. It shows the icon for whatever it is and then some text to the right.
I think it would look better if the text was eliminated and the icons made bigger, maybe into buttons which the bio module sort of seams into using something similar the in-module boxes (gah, I suck at jargon! Like the box at the bottom of the blog module which says "Posted by TheOwlWBU at 7:39 am, 8th Apr" or whatever). Maybe some tooltips as well.
If you do that, it physically separates it from the FiMFiction bio but still retains the feel that the information still belongs with it, which I think is kind of appropriate for links to your presence on other websites. Hang on, I'll just mock up an example since I'm tired and I think I'm babbling and it's way easier.
Sorry for using crappy logos. My google-fu is being pretty weak.

STOP CHANGING THINGS
Where has the My page button gone?
64722
It was pointless because it exists on the user toolbar. Just click your name.

Thanks, I did not know that.
Still going to miss the little guy.
Currently, I prefer how the site used to be, but I don't disapprove of the change. I think with a bit of time, I'll grow to like it as much as it used to be.
Haters gonna hate, I personally love the new update....my page looks so shiny and new!!!
Er... Not sure if I'm the only one with this problem but... Where's the bio at? Seriously. I may just be an idiot (which I really am), but I seem to have lost mine.
Excellent! None of this was necessary, and yet you guys went out and did it anyway! Love the changes with modules, especially allowing changes on the userpage itself. All i need to do now is get used to not having Spike around at the top left anymore
Brilliant update! Cheers!

It's done on the user page now. I need to announce this properly somewhere. It makes much more sense there, you can just copy and paste the existing one across.
65021 Eeyup, I fixed it. Thanks for the help Knighty, you clever bastard. Keep up the brilliant work. You rock -
will we ever be able to add background on our page or change transparency levels on sections of the profiles.
I don't know, just having old youtube profile look nostalgia i guess
65021 Heya knightly, question:
I remember there was a "user's last five comments" module before the updates. Is that gone forever?
I thought it kinda neat, but I can live without it. Just wondering.
