Why is it such a hassle to imbed on this site?


Posts: 9485

I doubt this will ever get fixed but, just saying- if I could figure out how to make it work on my own website (the SC mocking jay bull shit I had going as an interim websites between SC shut down after Good’s melt down) then... surely, someone, could fix this problem pretty easily? 

 

I just want it to be straight forward like it was on SC mocking jay. Copy, paste. It worked on mobile, it worked on iPad, it works on windows, Firefox, google chrome, safari. It automatically embeds gifs, images, from anywhere, and youtube videos, vimeo videos. 

 

To go a step farther I’d love it to imbed tweets, instagram and facebook, tumblr and Pinterest, imgur, posts- automatically, like discord does- but- better. 

 

OO and Spotify, sound cloud shares as well. 

 

Also, the ability to drag and drop or post files directly from your computer, ipad or phone. 

 

Audio files, videos, images, PDFs, jpegs, gifs, everything. I want it all to auto imbed when you share it- as any social media does. 

 

This is a website for god sake existing in 2020 and we don’t even have these basic features. 

 

We don’t even have profiles. And the PM system, is a fucking mess no one uses it because it’s so terrible. 

 

And good wants to add, “categories” like, no one asked for that. 

 

Do what the people asked for. 

 

Also the OP should be able to delete posts in their thread if they created it. HAHH i loved that feature on OG SC

We all saw how easily SC Mocking Jay was shut down, just sayin'.

You make it sound like it's difficult.

Facebook? Why?

Just take screencaps if you really need to show something, otherwise what is it accomplishing for our group?

That'd require hosting it on this forum itself, which is a terrible idea. 

Just upload it to Imgur, like people do for other forums like Reddit for example. It's really not that much of an inconvenience to know how to use the internet. 

This is a website for god sake existing in 2020 and we don’t even have these basic features. 

You don't even know what you're talking about. 

We don’t even have profiles.

We do actually. 

And the PM system, is a fucking mess no one uses it because it’s so terrible. 

The PMs work just fine for me. 

And good wants to add, “categories” like, no one asked for that. 

You were the one singing it's praises earlier, wtf. 

Do what the people asked for. 

You aren't "The People", and he has poll topics for this stuff. 

If you could learn to code, maybe you could host your own site, or at the very least you'd understand the size of the task you're asking for as if it was just something that was the snap of a finger to do. 

Also the OP should be able to delete posts in their thread if they created it. HAHH i loved that feature on OG SC 

We never had the ability to delete our own topics..?

You could always just link it, how is it difficult for you to just copy and paste a link using the link function

Posted Image

or try to embed it using the source code button (tho tbh idk if that works, never used it myself) 

 

Just screenshot or download the pic and use imgur (tho that's moderated so anything naughty or against their ToS Will be removed) or discord to upload it (again anything against their ToS Will be removed but make your own server without members and upload whatever, who's gonna tell on ya? Yourself? Nah) and then copy link.

 I already know how to do all the tricks and more than what you listed there lol I wasn’t asking how to do it 

 

I was alluding that this is a hassle and should be changed considering it’s such a basic thing all social media has

that was my fault for trusting jim to be an admin 😂😂😂

it’s not, if I could do it im insinuating it’s quite easy lol 

To go a step farther I’d love it to imbed tweets, instagram and facebook, tumblr and Pinterest, imgur, posts- automatically, like discord does- but- better. OO and Spotify, sound cloud shares as well.

ok fine not Facebook whatever idc about Facebook lol 

Also, the ability to drag and drop or post files directly from your computer, ipad or phone.

why

mmmmm it is tho 



This is a website for god sake existing in 2020 and we don’t even have these basic features. 

You don't even know what you're talking about. 


well, I know that it took me two seconds to do all of what I’m talking about here lol 

 

We don’t even have profiles.

We do actually. 


not like Luna was imagining for SC back in the day when I was designing alongside her programming upon her request (just before she went insane) 

 

And the PM system, is a fucking mess no one uses it because it’s so terrible. 

The PMs work just fine for me. 


I despise it and it’s because I designed the original PM system and then Luna ran with a Janky version of it and implemented it when it was just a rough draft and, she took the whole idea wrong and implemented it wrong and didn’t run it by me before she launched it for approval 

 

so the whole thing just looks incomplete to me like it was never finished (and poorly executed) in comparison to the original flawless design I had in mind 

 

 

 

And good wants to add, “categories” like, no one asked for that. 

You were the one singing it's praises earlier, wtf. 

no I simply asked everyone if that’s what they wanted or not I wasn’t biased on the matter 

 

Do what the people asked for. 

You aren't "The People", and he has poll topics for this stuff. 

yeah I made one too and no one wanted the categories and then he said “I’m doing categories anyway” cuz he wants to XD 

 



If you could learn to code, maybe you could host your own site, or at the very least you'd understand the size of the task you're asking for as if it was just something that was the snap of a finger to do. 


I did host my own site I’ve had a few and I know it’s really simple you’re just using a host that is a tad bit gay and limiting lol but I get it- cuz money. 

Also the OP should be able to delete posts in their thread if they created it. HAHH i loved that feature on OG SC 

We never had the ability to delete our own topics..?

 No not delete the topics, you don’t remember how we could remove posts that were made inside of our own topic that were made by another user? It would just say that the post was hidden. On lunas forum. 
(becomes skeptical this is the real TC)

That website security was also shit. If they wanted to take it down even without admin privileges, they'd likely succeed. 

I just want it to be straight forward like it was on SC mocking jay. Copy, paste. It worked on mobile, it worked on iPad, it works on windows, Firefox, google chrome, safari. It automatically embeds gifs, images, from anywhere, and youtube videos, vimeo videos.

I mean you make posting gifs and all that the normal way difficult. 

It's quite easy. 

To go a step farther I’d love it to imbed tweets, instagram and facebook, tumblr and Pinterest, imgur, posts- automatically, like discord does- but- better. OO and Spotify, sound cloud shares as well. 

Facebook? Why?

Just take screencaps if you really need to show something, otherwise what is it accomplishing for our group? 

ok fine not Facebook whatever idc about Facebook lol 

So why shouldn't we do screencaps and shit, instead of expecting Meta to add stuff we don't really need? 

I'm asking why we need this feature in particular, it seems like fluff without substance. 

Also, the ability to drag and drop or post files directly from your computer, ipad or phone. 

Audio files, videos, images, PDFs, jpegs, gifs, everything. I want it all to auto imbed when you share it- as any social media does. 

That'd require hosting it on this forum itself, which is a terrible idea. 

why 

A) Hosting fees: If the images are hosted on the site itself, it has to be stored somewhere if it's not some side website like we otherwise use now. 

B) Liability: If it's on Imgur, it's an Imgur problem, while if it's hosted on his site itself it's considered his responsibility. 

Just upload it to Imgur, like people do for other forums like Reddit for example. It's really not that much of an inconvenience to know how to use the internet.

mmmmm it is tho 

You seriously expect this forum to take itself more seriously than Reddit

For real, it's not hard to use image hosts. You're asking for more than we need just because you expect this shit to be like Facebook. It's a forum, not social media. 

This is a website for god sake existing in 2020 and we don’t even have these basic features. 

You don't even know what you're talking about. 

well, I know that it took me two seconds to do all of what I’m talking about here lol 

Which things, recycling code from other people? 

We don’t even have profiles.

We do actually. 

not like Luna was imagining for SC back in the day when I was designing alongside her programming upon her request (just before she went insane) 

She was insane before you ever joined SC dawg. 

And the PM system, is a fucking mess no one uses it because it’s so terrible. 

The PMs work just fine for me. 

I despise it and it’s because I designed the original PM system and then Luna ran with a Janky version of it and implemented it when it was just a rough draft and, she took the whole idea wrong and implemented it wrong and didn’t run it by me before she launched it for approval 

so the whole thing just looks incomplete to me like it was never finished (and poorly executed) in comparison to the original flawless design I had in mind 

This PM system already does more than enough. It even has a goofy encoding system built in if you worry about ocular eavesdropping.

 

Do what the people asked for. 

You aren't "The People", and he has poll topics for this stuff. 

yeah I made one too and no one wanted the categories and then he said “I’m doing categories anyway” cuz he wants to XD 

He's trying to find ways to streamline the search so that it's not so intensive on the website. While not the best idea, it's not like it's some fluff choice purely.

If you could learn to code, maybe you could host your own site, or at the very least you'd understand the size of the task you're asking for as if it was just something that was the snap of a finger to do. 

I did host my own site I’ve had a few and I know it’s really simple you’re just using a host that is a tad bit gay and limiting lol but I get it- cuz money. 

You didn't even code any of it, hence why you handed it to Jim to do it who then promptly destroyed it.

It's not simple if you're not choosing to just recycle existing assets.

Also the OP should be able to delete posts in their thread if they created it. HAHH i loved that feature on OG SC

(becomes skeptical this is the real TC) 

Oh, you mean the censorship function that proved to be entirely pointless?

If there were ten posts blocked, you'd have an entire page of minimized content and still have to go to the next page. It was both a bad idea and poorly executed.
