Don't know if this is the right thread, but I suppose it is.

Did the mods disable the like + share buttons?

It would appear so, and then they will take away the rep system, the threads and then... our souls lol.

Thread 194143

You could read a bit before making yet another thread...

Thank you for the link, Ponyo. In my defense, I did look around, and 'wtf' doesn't exactly constitute as a thread title that clearly displays the issue so that others can easily pick up on it.

It Seems Aswell That The Search Engine Just Brings Database Error.....

will work on the search engine soon

the like/share buttons were a security hole, unfortunately. not sure if there's a way to bring them back

Seriously?? Damn, Thats Bad. :(
If That Is True Is There No Way To Make A New Like/Share Button System??

i can look into options for alternatives once all of the security issues are sorted out

i can look into options for alternatives once all of the security issues are sorted out

That would be very appreciated. Thank you for updating us.

Spent all night changing all my passwords. Now going to use a separate email and password for this site from now on.

Hm. I wonder what's going to happen to Alpha23's � 5 likes and I'll post blahblahblah � system; I guess he'll be forced to drop it, if he hasn't done that already, that is.

Oh, well… To speak the truth, likes (and even Reputation) can go, for all the utility they have.

Polls and link_parsing also seems to be disabled.

Must have been quite the hack.

Talking about already "active" polls? I ask because I can add polls to my own threads just fine.

Yay.

??

Talking about already "active" polls? I ask because I can add polls to my own threads just fine.

Well, maybe it dont work with sticky/closed threads.
The one I just made, i wanted to make a poll asking who changed their passwords yet.

Sarcasm, dearie. Yay to be a part of a forum with such problems.. xD

Thank You, "Dearie" Hehaha.

My Email & P/W Were Original To Here Anyway.

i can look into options for alternatives once all of the security issues are sorted out

I would appreciate that, too. And I'd like to thank you for your transparency* :)

*This wasn�t ironic. I mean it (because I usually am ironic).

Which same passwords are in danger here? Those associated to the current email in FFShrine, or pretty much every password/account/email that one has?

They've vanished, both for individual posts and in one's profiles.

There's been an event with the site, and the like & share buttons have been removed.
Please read around some more before creating a thread.

Thread 194175

I see. They were the one of the few "perks" for the few people who actually provide contents for this forum instead of leech all the time (that's 95% of users). That's bad.

Just leave a comment with some kind words. They probably mean more anyway.
Means you are actually making an effort to thank them for their work.

I've never understood the want for "Likes". It's nice to know that people enjoyed your post I suppose, but there are some people here who insist on you "Liking" their post before they send out a link... I can't understand that mindset.

I know those people, Skelly.
I'm just thinking, where's the pride in all the likes if they HAVE to like it to get a link?

Its The Same As Asking to Boost Someone's Rep For A Link,So......

I don't say "You MUST like and give me reputation for the link".
I say that I appreciate all reps and likes that I recieve. I still give links to people even if they only request it.

Did I Say "You?".....Hmm. No.

Calm down everybody. Azetlor, no one's "attacking you" because you like to get likes and reps.

(Looks On Proud) Hmm I Think It Works

I've never understood the want for "Likes". It's nice to know that people enjoyed your post I suppose, but there are some people here who insist on you "Liking" their post before they send out a link... I can't understand that mindset.

Just to clarify things. I am probably one of those that you thought.
Well, as some gentlemen here share my links outside forum & linked my MEGGA account and endanger its safe operation.
instead to post your own link I have to take the following measures:

1. All my links except those on western thread is hidden and distribution is carried out through private messages.

2. I devised a way not to wait even a little bit of my links. I have some software which is connected to my inbox on shrine.
So when member who is interested for my post confirm LIKE button message with link automatically goes to his address!!!
System is not perfect yet, but works. Just ask other people whether he waiting for my links.
Means, I do not insist that someone LIKED my post like reward to me, than it is really NECESSARY!!!
I have, unlike some here who only know how to criticize, 3-4 uploads here per day.
Just imagine for that time, my inbox is full.

Finally, this is message for you, mr. gold & Azetlor: please share something not run idle conversation!!!

Have you seen Skelly's sig? They're just a snippet of what he has shared...

I understand, zvonko. That's a very clever system you've set up, connecting the "Likes" with your inbox. :smrt:

But your way of using "Likes" is different from the way that some users interpret "Likes". Some people think it's offensive when you don't "Like" their post. And that's what I can't wrap my head around.

I have my blacklist too. but on it NOT are people who do not like my posts.
On my black list is mainly selfish whores from shit place named eda88 forum.
I endured in this place just one week & ran headlong. On that place 99% links not work and half stuff are stolen from here.
On shrine exist many members that shit place under others nicknames, of course!!!

All the best

I can't understand that mindset.

Well, for me it's kind of important, because on top of the appreciation, in my "accumulative" threads it's an indication of what people are more interested in, or less.

Still, 95% of the people on this board *never* contribute anything, so you get no likes nor thanks for anything.

Of course I could just not send any links to people with just one "brick" in their profile. Again, that would exclude 95% of all people. Fine by me ...

What I'm referring to is bullshit like this:


OP wants a "like" in exchange for the link. I just got a PM:

"No "like", no chocolate!"

A member - who has several thousand posts, full rep, and four years here - can't get a link because he didn't "Like" the original post. That's the sort of behavior I can't understand. Sure, it's courteous to "Like" a post if you really do enjoy what's been shared, but it shouldn't dictate whether I can listen to the music or not. Why should I even "Like" something I haven't even listened to or received yet??

Ultimately it's your thread, you can choose who gets the links or not, but to base it solely on how many "Likes" you get is really a silly way of operating.

Because there's so much pride in a like which was forced!

A member - who has several thousand posts, full rep, and four years here - can't get a link because he didn't "Like" the original post. That's the sort of behavior I can't understand.

That's not the point, really. A user can have 1,367 posts but just one "brick" because all he really did was say Thanks or request something (often the latter!) 1,367 times but NEVER EVER contributed anything himself.

I'm fine with not supplying content that I paid for(!) to any of these people, but I was fully content as long as at least they had to express their thanks through likes (not hard work, one may say).

I read concepts expressed here and you know what I say to myself?

So fucking glad I've approached the Shrine back when crap like Reputation and Likes weren't added yet, at least that helped a bit toward instilling a mentality of share for the sake of sharing.

And folks who hate leechers are disgustingly ignorant: that group of silent folks which has enough of downloading is the reason most of the links of this place have been active for months, or even years! Try seeing how long a link lasts if you rely solely on the bunch of folks which take their time to thank you. Like it or not, leechers are the ones you should be most grateful toward, this place would have been doomed without them.

Finally, this is message for you, mr. gold & Azetlor: please share something not run idle conversation!!!

Excuse Me??? I Have Shared Lots Of Things WithbThis Community Actually, Who Are You To Judge Me. Get Your Facts Before Accusing Someone of Not Shareing Thank You.

to Mr Gold
I do not judge anyone, just said that conducting this conversation a waste of time and I will no longer participate in it.
Instead i will upload something what I suggest to you!!!

-LOSSLESS STRIKES BACK-

My signature contains what I have shared. And that's just half of it.

That is not what you said you said i had not shared, anything..... so thanks for your input.

So.. you accuse and insult someone and expect for that someone to be okay with it, and keep quiet, saying he doesn't contribute anything when he has?

http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Travis-Bickle-Saying-You-Talking-To-Me-Taxi-Driver.gif

Oh, sorry, I forgot to laugh.

The "View Latest Started Threads" button is a useful one. :)

That is not what you said you said i had not shared, anything..... so thanks for your input.

Tell me in which part of my text you found it i said that?
This is the only sentence where you mentioned:


Finally, this is message for you, mr. gold & Azetlor: please share something not run idle conversation!!!

Please share something

Before you accuse someone of shit and being so mighty you first look at his threads where he has posted many things, incluiding lots of Disney stuff, discs, and Robin Williams.. many many things. Your accusation was terrible.

What are you talking about, f..k? Who am I here accused that has shit thread?
Do not talk to me, until first read my text. Whom are you trying to be a lawyer?

I said only truth about one private forum:


On my black list is mainly selfish whores from shit place named eda88 forum.

Its just pointless. Okay fine i contribute noting to the forums, over 10,000 posts or me only saying thanks and requesting. Okay. Great thank you.

Now on with the show.....

PLEASE, ONCE FOR ALL, READ MY LIPS:

Where did you read that I said, 'Mr. GOLD NOT HAVE UPLOADS or CONTRIBUTING HERE' ?
Please tell me, because i have high opinion about yours GIF THREAD!!!

IF YOU ARE MEMBER THAT PRIVATE FORUM SORRY BUT MOST MEMBERS (EXCEPT FEW THAT I KNOW) IS A SELFISH WHORES!!!

All the best

I am not a member of that forum. Fine its dropped, no more.

to PonyoBellanote

It was my goal from beginning. That all together finish with all these empty conversations and we begin to do what best we can.
To SHARE something.

All the best

That is not the main goal shareing, general discussion sections is for talking. It was on the forums long before the downloads section. :)

Why do you visit the General Discussion section if you think it's so pointless, zvonko?

I thought of that false dilemma LIKE post or NOT, not other discussion!!!

I thought of that false dilemma LIKE post or NOT, not other discussion!!!

That happens, here in general discussion, one topic turns to something else. (Food talk turns to sport when tv ect....) you just roll with it.

Yes and I recognize that and I feel the need to explain why on my posts necessary to confirm LIKE button!!!
You also know for my system AUTOMATIC MESSAGING because already you have experience with receiving my links.
Whether you might be waiting some time? I told you No. It is only because there was a LIKE button.
I do not know what I'll do now if i must forward all message manually.

Just because that i go in here on discussion thread to explain that not to insult someone!!!

Its okay mate, we are past it. No probs :)
I donno sorry you will have to manually do that. Maybe pm one of admin to find out what is happening and tell them the situation....

Situation is that:

Sarah works on security issues, but i doubt that we preserve all posts!!!
I think that forum will be reverted on a old back-up, that means the loss of some uploads!!!
How much depends on how old are system back-up.

THIS ALL IS MY OPINION

Like I've said before. The concept of the like button and reputation only serves to weaken bonds and pit us against
one another. It does not matter who gets more likes. It does not matter if you never receive a single like.

What matters is the content you put out and the people who take the time to say thank you.
As you can see, there are already people arguing in this thread because of the disappearance
of the like button.

The fact that it is gone is a good thing for the Shrine. More people will be inclined to communicate with
one another and to give thanks instead of pressing a button which, in all honestly means nothing, at least
to me.

I'd rather focus on the constructive feedback I receive from others when I post things, the thanks I receive
when I choose to share, and people generally just being happy and enjoying what I have to offer. Rather than
a stupid button that is almost too small to even see on the screen. It is way more worthwhile to COMMUNICATE
WITH EACH OTHER than to simply press a button, acknowledging them. That's a compelte cop-out and utterly
lazy.

Who gives a fuck about likes. Seriously. It's just a number

to Zaralyth

It looks like a mission impossible to explain how that button necessary to me!!!
Just seems to me that I have explained all, when it appears again some with a statement without reading the previous posts.

Please read carefully this

Thread 194202

Thread 194202

There are better ways to monitor who wants to get the link other than the like button.

to Zaralyth

Points is in SPEED RESPOND!!!! That do it software instead me!!!!
Algorythm not read yours messages only states that have been received.
That the software knew witch of my templates with link to send user it's need some information from post.
MEANS YOU MUST PRESS SOMETHING ON POST (LIKE BUTTON or REP. ICON WITH THUMB UP) IF YOU WANT TO GET LINK!!!

If you know BETTER SOLUTIONS to message forward automatically, tell me.

I do not and never will play the "PM me for the link / like my post for the link / do something for the link" game unless there is some reason (like the music in question coming from a banned record label) why I cannot share the link publicly.

That said... I liked the likes. I LOVE comments - real people saying real things about my posts are infinitely more valuable than logging in and counting up the number of people who pressed a button because you forced them to... but "like" is quick and simple and it can be a useful tracker.

Wimpel started doing the "like for the link" and I was going to start doing the same thing myself in the event I shared something that way. I'm not a very organised person - and that's got ten times worse since my stroke - so having the list of people who liked your thread would've been a good safety net, to know who asked for your link.

Nonetheless... I'll live without it. Perhaps it will encourage people who would've taken the quick route of clicking "like" to actually write something instead. Here's hoping. :)

It is way more worthwhile to COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER than to simply press a button, acknowledging them.

Agreed.

I find it much more rewarding for someone to leave me a comment in my thread than for them to click "Like".

"Like" could mean anything. I much prefer being able to read, "Wow Skelly, I thought I'd never be able to hear this Wallace and Gromit music!" "Thanks for the Ultron trailer song!" "I love Blackadder!" or even "Thanks for trying, but I don't like the way it turned out..." It lets me know how what I've done actually affects the member.


Perhaps it will encourage people who would've taken the quick route of clicking "like" to actually write something instead. Here's hoping. :)

There's a member here named samy103 or something like that. He doesn't participate in discussions, he doesn't share anything as far as I know, but he has 2,000 posts. He says "thank you share!" so I guess his English isn't very good. But he's said that 2,000 times and I think that a comment from him is still more valuable than a "Like".

That's the route I hope people start taking in lieu of likes: actual comments, no matter how bland.

Or maybe people will get even more lazy and just take it without even showing any sort of acknowledgement. Either way the world will spin on, and people will continue to share music just the way they always have. Maybe some uploaders will realize how damned useless those "Likes" were.

Thank You Comment.

I'm talking here about my algorithm which responds when someone liking my post and immediately sends link, and the other people here stubbornly shake their story in a circle, whether someone more respected when to leave a comment or liking post.
As unnecessary dilemma!!!

I give up!!! There's no way to explain more, not worth.

Maybe you can change your algorithm to send out links when you get a reputation point.

Sarah has said that the like systemnwas taken down dureing the hack and it looksnmore tan likely that it may not ever return, so we need to jsut live with it. Nothing more can be done.

dammit... I was going to like your comment. xD

though. I wont miss the like button. Please people, comment. with you "like" on posts, I don't know what do you like. My share, my links, my covers, my shirts, my panties. What?
The rep points, I always leave a comment in there. Not just press it. I even leave my username there, so that people know who was it.
I have people asking me shit, on rep points, and I have no idea who the hell are they.

I Had That lol, A Person waanted A Link To A Album But It Was Pm Only, So They Rep Me "Please Send Link, Thank You" Thats it, No Idea Who Wanted It,... That Was like 3-4 Weeks Ago, and Still Dont know lol.

It does opt people to show actual appreciation toward their upload by writing a nice comment. It's one thing to get a like on your post but it's real heartwarming to see someone actually take the time to comment and say thanks.

This topic just keeps going in circles.

Aha, I guess so.
But I'm saying that I'm secretly sort of happy that the like button's removed.
Although it annoys me that I automatically go and click a like button only for it to not be there, I actually think this will do the shrine some good.

Sarah has said that the like systemnwas taken down dureing the hack and it looksnmore tan likely that it may not ever return, so we need to jsut live with it. Nothing more can be done.

What about search system? Maybe we can do without it too.
Not to mention that I can not use many options, like 'Find latest post?' or 'Find latest thread'.

They went down to, sarah said she was working on that after security isssues were fixed.

The search option in the Shrine was sorta useless anyway.


Just Google:


site:forums.ffshrine.org insert search terms here

I'll take your favourite stuffed animal as collateral.
Knuckles, Oviraptor, Gengar or Polar bear.... a strange weed yellow butterfly. Which on you chose as collateral?

Back to the point, I agree with Zara.... zAralit, Zaralifa, ... fuck it. ZARA.
Communicate with each other. I take million times a comment in my shares then a like. I would never like without posting a comment of some sort, be it a joke thanks or something else. There are people here, logged since the dawn of time when Adam screwed Eve that only hit "like" and no posts what so ever. They are free to do as they want, but honestly, if I share something I would like to have any kind of comment, stupid or not, it means someone cares enough to COMMUNICATE.
I don't know.... the future of human kind is... loosing tongue and hitting buttons? Kinda might happen if people continue like this. I mean.. "like" means nothing to me. Comments are gold, like SkelletoDeMan393 pointed out.

The search option in the Shrine was sorta useless anyway.

The search here always brought up what i was looking for but meh.

"LIKE" ;)

I like you too Mr. Gold, and I forgive you for what you did to miss Swan, you prick.

Bye Bye "Like"! Welcome Back Dear "Communication"!! :)

Gotta make a movie about that. "The Whore Like, and Miss Communication. A human Downfall."

I like you too Mr. Gold, and I forgive you for what you did to miss Swan, you prick.

Excuse Me Dearie??
I Have Done Many Awful Things to Miss Swan, To Which Am i Acused This Time.

Wow, no more searching either? Now I can't find anything.

Liked.

The search mostly worked for me, mostly.

You and I both. It was a good tool for me, despite what seems to "everyone" agree in being useless.

I see what you obviously did there. xD

It does opt people to show actual appreciation toward their upload by writing a nice comment.

That doesn't work with "classical by request", "film music hunt" or my run-on-themed threads, People saying thanks for my releases in those threads (1,200+ uloads) would wreck them.

And sorry that I expect at least the small "token" of appreciation by sharing music that I paid thousands and thousands of dollars for. :( - Unlike the scores of people who actually provide ZILCH but just leech off of others and for whom I still provide (unlike some others who say "users with one brick" shouldn't bother to ask - maybe I should do that, too.)

And as I said before, it's a pointer for me as to which kind of music/style people prefer.

What do you think of Beheading?

It is a rather barbaric practice.

You didn't mention your thoughts on lossless yet though, what are they?

oh. I see. Since there is no "like" function you are trying a this trap into "Like/dislike" imaginary button. you don't fool me. xD

I think the majority in here already know how I feel about lossless. But just a quick thing:
LOSS of my time, and I could not care LESS about it.

I'm surprised more people don't know how to search the Shrine database on Google. I've always
found it way more effective than the built-in search function here on the site..

Well, I'd be content with the "reputation button" that seems to be working in some threads but not in others (bottom left of each posting).

Really?? I Have Yet To See A Thread With No Ability to Press the Rep Button... (Unless To Much Has Been Given That Day By Myself...)

please tell me you'd know why I disappeared and the button "Like" in all Thread
Thank You.

please tell me you'd know why I disappeared and the button "Like" in all Thread
Thank You.

A Recent Security Problem With The Site Caused The Like Button And Search Engine to Cease to Work, Also Effected Are Bookmark Links. The Admin Are Looking Into Sorting It. That Is All Anyone Knows. :)

:this:

If this keeps up there will be more threads about "Where's the Like button gone?" than "How do I delete my account?".

If only users took the time to read a bit, instead of rushing and create threads.

Just merged the two threads.

Rep seems to be working in my threads.

Which same passwords are in danger here? Those associated to the current email in FFShrine, or pretty much every password/account/email that one has?

Your password on FFshrine.

However, if you use the same password anywhere else, change it.
