Site Post » Banner Selector · 7:51pm Aug 8th, 2012
You can now select what banner you want to use by hovering to the left/right of the banner to select the next/previous one.
Also, regarding the search redirecting to google:
A lot of people seem to be suggesting that the filters have gone or something. This...is not the case? The search never used filters by default, if you go to the browse page and click the search icon at the top, it'll bring down the filters.
The reason text search goes to google is because filtering on search results makes no sense almost all the time. If you're searching by text, you know the name of the story. If filters help you find it, sure, great, but the whole point of searching by name is find a specific story and google does a much MUCH better job of that than we can hope to provide right now.
WE 90s NOW.
Banner selector ... banner selector? Banner selector! YAY!
Neat!
Banner selector... for only 3 banners
this site is a peace of shit. te admins ddont know what their doing. fuck u knitty.
Yes! I was always hoping to find the one of Dash reading to Twi, its sooo cute! But I almost never got it
)
Now I can choose! Best idea evar. (Although I think the 502fiction should be a choice sometimes
I only found out about the filtered search recently, only because I made a comment that I thought the search possibilities were rather limited. Turns out pretty much all of what I wanted was there (like the ability to only see completed stories), but the UI wasn't intuitive.
It'd be nice if there was an option to go to "Advanced Search" as a 4th option, below Clopfics, Latest Updates and Top Rated Stories. And if that search button in the picture in your blog post said "Advanced Search" rather than "Search," to distinguish what it does from the search above the banner.
Knighty, serious problem with those banners.
There's no Twilestia one.
Dropping the ball, man!
Needs a romantic AppleDash banner
knitty add the buttons
>adds banner selector to script
>knighty adds official banner selector

Oh well, mine still has more options

Seriously knighty. Step up your shit.
Is there/can there be a link to download them?
Pretty please?

But guiz, Twilestia is inferior ship.
Oh my God. We finally have a banner selector and people are asking for more goddamn shipping banners? For Christ's sake, two of the three banners are already pairing images with Rainbow Dash. How about a little bit more variety? Relatively speaking, I'm kind of a closet brony. I visit this website somewhat regularly and the last thing that I need someone to think when they walk in on me reading and find out that I'm a "brony" is that I femship these colorful cartoon horses from a children's television show together as well. Which I don't, because in my opinion that's fucking stupid and completely inconceivable within the show's universe. Look. I'm being an ass, I know. But all I'm asking is could we please get a little more variety within the banner selection before loading up on a shit ton more ridiculous shipping banners?

Quit your whining and just use the banner of Sweet Apple Acres with the FIM Fiction logo on it. There was no need to write an entire paragraph on it.
277008 Despite the complaints allot of people have brought up over the search thing, I think you guys a running a great site here, and you only keep improving. Thanks you guys. :3
277048
I'm not quite as angry, but... yeah. Ponies giving eachother bedroom eyes at the top of every page kinda squicks me out.
How about a picture of that official map? Or some more scenery porn, like the Sweet Apple Acres one?
277056
...I swear that one wasn't there five seconds ago.
Okay, I certainly will!
[rage mode disengaged]

I believe one of the purposes of this addition is so you don't have to view the shipping banners if you don't want to.
277022
That's what Stylish is for! :D
I just need to find something I can actually use as a banner first...
277048
>the joke
> You
Out of curiosity, does the awesome 90's pop have a purpose? Or is it just there to break up the seriousness of the preceding banner bit?
Shut up, Aqua is totally awesome, man! That's the kind of stuff we listend to in the 90's, dude!
277017
Came here to say this.
(Also, no Twiluna, and no Twilunestia)
277048 >more variety
FiMFiction has 27 different banners that I know of. Unfortunately, knighty's banner selector doesn't seem to let you use all of them.
277063 How about this? dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Pinkie_loool.png
277071
That's... terrifying at best. I meant a cute and adorable AppleDash one. :P
277056 He's right though. We need heteroship banners, too! Spairty, Fluttermac, and Disclestia, Knighty get on it.
277008
There are some days I really wonder who killed this man's dog.
277040
Your face is an inferior ship!
Personally, I prefer the "original" logo. But that's just me.
277073 I'm sure you can find something you like in FiMFiction's glorious selection of 27 different banners
277008 I believe we have a spy among us. It could be you, it could be me...
Accually is Poultron.
What happened to the other banners in the rotation?
Nice idea! Like it.
Please, add more banners to chose from (especially >>
)
Only problem is, now after you have selected a banner, there is currently no chance of getting back to the random selection.
It would be nice if there was a possibility to chose this again. If there is a possibility already, please tell me.
Still, thanks a lot for the banner selection!
W00t, banner selector. Long live the 502 banner for its awesomeness.
277063 I do not understand 'that's what Stylish is for'
I wanna know where the hell we can save these things to our computers!
2 things:
#1: Aqua is awesome, and you just reminded me that I need to go and find all of their music and listen to it all again.
#2: What happened to the banner with the two bluish pegasi on it? I really liked that one....

It's an add-on for Firefox (and maybe chrome?) that allows you to write your own styles for sites. It can override any styles that you want it to. For example, I've changed the default home page for Firefox Nightly to look like this.
With that add-on, I could simply replace the banner image CSS with my own to give it any look I want. If I had the time (and if I wanted to), I could basically re-write this entire site to look the way I want (but the functionality would remain the same).

I don't mind the Reading Rainbow one. It is pretty cute. I'd simply prefer AppleDash. :P
Just want to point out on the searching that with google it can take you to results that you don't want such as blog posts or comments.
277106 Look at [link]
I want the 502fiction one back please.
That's the only one that says the truuuuuuuth!
277100 Cloud Chaser and... er... I ALWAYS FORGET HER NAME. ERGH. I did like that one. It was cute. Like the Dash reading to Twilight one.
277112
Oooh, thanks! I completely forgot about that site.
Edit: Now I just need to figure out how to add multiple banners...
Give me one banner that isn't ship.
But who would use it anyway when there are so many shipping ones? 
.
.
.
Wait, there actually IS one!
277122
That's Cloudchaser and Flitter that you're looking for. But yeah, that one's adorable.
There's a Twixie banner now?
This isn't a game, Knighty. This is srs business
My only question is, if FimFic has 27 banners, then why are only 6 of them in rotation? Is it easier to code that way or is there another reason?
Long live the Rarijack Banner
277124 I'm not one for advertising things I've made, but if you want more options when changing your banner, I suggest trying this. Here's a screenshot:

277145 knighty did not add all of them to the array. Check the page source, then find "var themes = new Array("
