I miss the lists of works on people’s descriptions D=. That way I could just click on people to read their new works, not have to scroll to find it (about the same amount of effort, really, but…)
Iota by iota, I have lost my life, in faith
I’ve passed this night dancing on coals
I blew away the sleep that was in my eyes
I counted the stars till my finger burned
I MISS IT TOO, ABBY!
“I can’t explain myself, I’m afraid, sir,” said Alice. “Because I’m not myself, you see.”
T’is coming, I promise. It’s a matter of presentation and right now, it’s ugly and hard to navigate. Why? Well, on the last version of HomeWolf, each board/forum has it’s own database table, meaning Verses, Chat, etc were separate. Now, however (and rightfully so from a database geek perspective) they are all in the same table with a simple field (“forum_id”) that denotes which forum it belongs to.
So, now, I do a search for all of a users’ posts, right? I’ll use Abby for an example, I get a list of every Verses and Chat post she ever started, in the order of which they were posted. Because I want to separate them by Forum, I have to do more than one query, which is not a big deal, but then I have to decide how to display them…which is where I’m stuck right now.
I want to do pages of posts, like how the Forums are currently done, so you don’t get a super-long page if somebody has lots and lots of posts. But, we have at least two forums to show, right? So, yeah, trying to find a pleasing layout and method to do so without cluttering the page or just being plain fugly, y’know? .
(EDIT: Um, the short version is I’m picky. ;) )
