Yesterday and even a bit today, people were reporting an issue with entering the members section. This was caused by changing the server from being run by Nginx (which was causing all kinds of errors) back to Apache, the usual tried and true server software. Unfortunately the code used to protect the members section under Nginx, pretty much is impassible under Apache, so it had to be fixed. But the problem has been resolved. Please try clearing your Internet cache, and logging in again. And thanks to everybody who pointed the problem out to me.

Now down to the vote, to some people’s clear surprise, Inuyasha wins by a landslide! Here’s the votes as I counted them…

The vote tally:
Inuyasha (N/A 10, Doujinshi 1)
Cowboy Bebop
Boondocks
Catgirls (Hentai 2, N/A 5)
Furry Doujinshi
Shuffle! Doujinshi
Lolicon (Doujinshi 6, Hentai 1)
Soul Calibur (Hentai 1, N/A 2)
Tales of Vesperia Hentai
Boondocks
Waffles
Dynasty Warriors
Egyptian Hentai
Lactation Hentai
Transformation Hentai

Always remember my wonderful viewers, there are two sections voting (members and public). So what you see, isn’t always exactly how the vote is going to go. Thanks everybody who voted, I’m off to collect Inuyasha doujinshi. Of course while I’m gone, the newest vote has already started. And I don’t know if you guys noticed, but it seems the earliest votes, have the greatest influence. Just a thought, and happy voting!

Today I’ve got a few things to report, the first is that I’ve gotten rid of the image resizing in the gallery. It was an interesting experiment, but with no way to actually view the full size image (with this Lightbox), I figured you guys would rather scroll and see the full size image than not scroll and see a minimized one.

Though I must say I already like this gallery, I mean really… just how often has the site crashed since we switched to it? That’s right zero! I’ve even been able to ditch Nginx off the server which was causing assorted other problems like odd redirects, or everybody having the same IP at the forum. Good riddance if you ask me. The only problem I’m really seeing with it so far is the Lightbox program could be better, I’ll be testing others as I find them until we find a better one, but the gallery behind it I rather like.

Gallery stuff aside let’s talk about the vote, or at least an idea for it…..

A quote from Skullhead:
——————————————————————————————————-
Hey everyone sound off if you agree with me on my idea for voting. I think there should be one voting per week. Whatever has the most votes gets updated first, then whatever had the second most votes would be updated the next day and so on in that order. For the subjects/categories that only had one vote (since there’s always quite a few) could be updated either at random or based on whichever one hasn’t had an update in the longest time. I think this way peoples votes will have a greatly higher chance of being updated and won’t feel like your vote is being wasted/futile. It may also give Nideovinja extra time to search for material, being able to see what will be updated next ahead of time, maybe even be able to update a series hentai and doujinshi together. Some votes take way too long to finally get updated (ex. Burst Angel took over a month), I think this voting system can be faster. In a way everybody wins. If you think this is a good idea then lets support it.
————————————————————————————————————–

I figured I’d cover this here rather than in the comments of the posts. See for years we actually did a weekly vote, it worked out okay… but even in a time when the site was getting far more traffic we’d get 14-20 votes. People really just didn’t seem to give it the time of day, especially when compared to our daily votes which often get 30+ votes. The main point of these votes is actually to encourage traffic by giving people a reason to come back daily, a way to interact with the site (which I’m actually thinking of adding other ways as well). Also as I noticed when the old gallery blew up a few days ago, I asked a question… and got a few responses but not many, and that was over three days. I got more responses to my question yesterday than that. So it sort of serves a two fold purpose, one to encourage traffic, and another to actually encourage site participation. So I’d like to thank you for putting forth the idea, but for now I think we’ll keep things as they are. I rather like the interest people have in commenting now.

That being said, let’s talk about the vote….

The Vote Tally:
Breast Expansion 11
Inuyasha (Hentai 2, N/A 2)
Lolicon (Doujinshi 6, N/A 1, Hentai 1)
Shuffle! Doujinshi 2
Tales of Vesperia
Soul Calibur 3
Scat Doujinshi
Catgirl Hentai
Mass Effect 2
Rosario + Vampire Doujinshi
Games Gallery

So with Breast Expansion taking the gold today though it’s weeks of lobbying (congrats on that), I’m off to collect stuff. However while I’m gone the votes are already rolling in, will you follow in the footsteps of the Breast Expansion people and lobby others to your cause? Happy voting!

So today finds us with an active new gallery that I feel should probably have a few words said about it. The first thing to mention is that it’s actually two different programs working in concert, so for those of you who are getting a white screen with an image whenever you click a thumbnail, the Lightbox program isn’t working correctly for you. I’m definitely going to look into that, and if necessary replace it. Goodness knows it’s only the work of a few minutes, so we can definitely try various ones.

Also about the Slideshow, it should appear in the same location as the thumbnails, simply replacing them. I’ve been getting reports that it’s not doing that for some people. In some cases it can take a little bit to load. I’ll definitely look into speeding that up. Though the Slideshow is a part of the actual gallery program. So I don’t see it being replaced anytime soon unless I can find another program that works to completely replace it. I’ll keep my eyes open, though I have yet to see the slideshow fail to load in any browser be it Opera, Firefox, Chrome, I.E., or even the default Android browser.

Also some people have mentioned the 28 images viewable in the Lightbox before you have to close it. This is a function of mixing two programs that aren’t 100% designed to do so. Other Lightbox options are available, I’ll look for more compatible ones.

Edit:
I’ve enabled the gallery’s ability to resize the image to your screen size to avoid scrolling. Also I’ve enabled the ability to click the image in order to advance to the next image, and the ability to close the window by clicking off the image. Also as you have noticed, doujinshi preview images in the news post now appear in the same Lightbox. No more Imagevenue garbage.

Question of the Day:
What do you think of the new gallery?

About the vote:

Well I must say… you guys are going to love this, you know in the same way that you’d love a world without porn. :/ My useful web host had 16 days… yes 16 whole days to copy over the databases for the members and public galleries. Well they did… kind of. The members database has apparently been switched with an older version, which means I have to upload some of the most recent updates. Which sucks I admit, but isn’t half as bad as the public gallery. Yep, they just completely forgot to move the database, so now with the old server deactivated and gone, well so is it. So now I’m rebuilding that. Hopefully I can shortcut it a bit and do it quickly. But it’s going to hold up updates for a couple days at least. My apologies, I’d stay around to chat longer but I’ve got to get to work on this, the longer I spend chatting, the longer everybody has to wait. Again apologies, I’ll have it back up as soon as possible. *Wanders off muttering, “Stupid Web Host”*

Edit:
So in realizing that it takes about 3 weeks to rebuild the public section with the old software (yeah it’s that slow) I’ve opted for a different gallery software which promises to do it faster. So today is something of a test run for it, and if the site spends the rest of the day crashing because of this new gallery…. I’ll know it’s probably not a good replacement.

A things to note about the new gallery:
1. You can now click the arrow keys on your keyboard to move through images (once you’re already viewing an image).
2. Don’t mind the folder graphics, if this gallery works I’ll be going back through and adding the custom gallery graphics, though with 924 hentai galleries alone… I think I’m make certain it all works first, before I get too happy adding stuff.
3. This gallery supports html links in it, which means that I can have movie download links that don’t require you to change the file extensions.

So anyway I’m going to let this gallery run a bit while I fix the members gallery. So just for a recap, the hentai and doujinshi sections of this new public gallery are complete, just not the movies yet….

Edit 2:
If you’d like to help out, let me know how the new public gallery is working for you! Thanks in advance to anybody who lets me know.

Edit 3:
The current state of repair of the members gallery is that all of the updates including 8/20 are back up.

Edit 4: 8-25
I’ve discovered that the members gallery isn’t as okay as I first thought, new items added to it are broken, and lead to the wrong locations. So it’s been replaced by the new gallery format (The old gallery will still be available while I add movies to the other one, so that all the content is still available in the members section the whole time). And as for the movies sections, while hosting images with this new system is easy, hosting movies isn’t… I have to code links to each and every movie file. This will take awhile, so work on the theory that if you see a thumbnail for a movie folder, then those movies are available for download.

Edit: 8-26
The Members Gallery is completely repaired and now sports the new format. I’ve also gone through and added thumbnails for each movie, direct downloads that don’t require you to add the extension as in the past, and any other info the movies were missing.

Time to start on the Public Movies now… I’ll keep everybody posted.

Edit: 8-26
And it’s all fixed, and all supporting the new gallery! I’ll be back later today with the update!
