Sexy Labia: Love Your Sexy Labia

Okay, just a heads-up folks. . .I've added the following features
so far:

1) Who's Online: Shows in real-time (updated every 5 seconds anyway),
what members are on the site currently.

2) Added a small "Some SexyLabia.net Members" section which shows
some of our most active members (in no particular order), although you must
have a profile pic to appear in this section.

3) Added the ability to directly post videos into a post and have it show up,
but this function is still sort of "beta" and doesn't yet work with all websites
that have video (only youtube so far, but I'm working on youporn, xtube, and
other sites that allow embedding of videos).

Anyway more to come. . .stay tuned. ;)

Excellent feature addition LL... love the Who's online and Some Members profile pic.

Regarding the Age Verification you are working on ... i hope you have considered all countries... because lot of the standard systems don't apply to our third world countries.

I would like to see some of the following information in a member's profile:

• Username: himu
• Gender: Male
• Age: 42 years old
• Country: Bangladesh
• City: Dhaka
  
• Member Type: Moderator
• Member Status: Verified
• Sexuality: Ask me
• Ethnicity: Asian
• Body Type: Average

Yeah in this regard, I think for now just the "Terms of Service" checkbox will be enough for the whole age verification thing until I figure out a better way to do that without being too intrusive to the end user.

Now in regards to the location feature, and such -- for now I've added a new link to your profile pages, called "Edit My Details" where you can provide additional information about yourself, including your location.

This will then show up on a new separate page on your profile labeled "About Me".

Actual country location flags are coming. . .

Also, how do you all find the site load speed??

Do the pages load up pretty fast for you??

I'm running NginX on this server to ensure that
things load *very* quickly in addition to using gzip
compression for just about everything.

Let me know how the load times are for you folks. . .

The site load speed is perfectly fine, LabiaLover.

But whenever I'm on my phone and want to comment. the cursor always jumps and is slow to process the text.

Other than that everything else is going smoothly.

Yeah, sorry about the cursor jump you mentioned from your phone -- the thing is, it's an auto-refresh built-into the site so that if a comment is posted on a page while you're on the page the comment shows up automatically.

The problem is, this doesn't work so well when the site is browsed in a mobile browser. :(

I'm working on it, don't worry! ;)

Site load is fine at this point, but I also realize that the site so far is relatively unadorned. Let's see how it goes with the addition of a few layers or style sheets.


Another thing I've noticed is that if I let the page sit idle for too long I get a notice that my IP address has been blacklisted. I'm not sure how this happened but if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

As far as the redesign goes, I touched on that already above.

Now about the blacklisting thing. . .that would be a security module
working on the server, if it says you're blacklisted, please copy/paste
the error message to me at labia@sexylabia.net or send it to me as a
PM on the site, so that I can check it out -- also be sure to include your
IP address, so that when I'm checking the site logs I can find your IP, and
see exactly what made the server decide to blacklist you.

Another feature added based on messages I've received:

Members have been sending me messages saying that
they like the content, but that it wasn't always easy to identify
who started a specific thread.

Some members have said they'd like to easily be able to
identify who started what thread since they are more interested
in seeing posts by certain people than others (*gasp* how dare they!).

I kinda saw that coming to be honest, because obviously everyone
identifies differently with certain threads, certain members, etc.

Either way, you're now able to clearly see who the thread author
is directly on the thread before clicking it from the main threads page. ;)

Ok. . .

So after some thought. . .I decided to make profiles public again.

They are only public in the most basic sense, meaning someone
who is NOT a member of the site can see when you last signed in,
how many things you've posted or commented on, and your about
me page, but as usual your personally identifiable information stays
private (like your e-mail address for example), unless you make it
public (you can do this from your profile settings page).

My logic is that this will demonstrate to other women who are interested
in joining the site, but are a little skeptical, that we have lots of other female
members here who have joined, and they will also find a place to fit in here.

If you like to see what people can see, just logout and then try to view someone's
profile on the site, and you'll see what information is displayed -- nothing personal,
just basic info about when you last logged in, etc -- the same thing that is visible
to site members. ;)

Anyway. . .more to come. . .stay tuned.

Yes, moderators (well really only two of you at the moment @himu and @tempest_driver),
you now have access to the dashboard and can see some of the stuff I see as well:

https://www.sexylabia.net/dashboard/settings

It will allow you to see traffic stats (just page views actually for now), it also shows how many active users there are on the site (doesn't show the total number of users, just active users -- i.e. people who login, participate, view stuff but don't comment, etc)

You also have access to the change log as well which allows transparency between the 3 of us (and eventually more moderators as the site gets larger), so that we can all see who edited/deleted what, etc.

You'll see the flood control settings as well -- no need to change anything, as I've set that up already, but I did want you guys to have access to it in case we have users who are posting spam or trying to post spam egregiously -- that tool will allow you to limit how far they can go.

You have always had access to the moderation queue -- this is basically where posts go if they are flagged by a member, so that you can decide how to act on it (i.e. change it, re-post it back to the site as-is, or delete it).

You can also manage spam (the site catches this automatically at the moment, but every once in awhile we'll get one that slips under the site's radar, and this is where it ends up), you can decide if it's REALLY spam, or an accidental thing, and allow it through or delete it.

And finally you'll see the Piwik link in the back-end as well -- it won't work at the moment until I set you guys up on it, but you'll be able to see much more detailed analytics stats -- how long users spend on the site, what pages they view, what countries they're in, etc.

In addition, you should now be able to see every user's e-mail address when you click on their profile in case you need to contact them for any reason directly.  This should really only be done when some kind of site violation occurs.  Otherwise just send the user a private message if you want to talk to them about stuff not related to your job as a moderator -- just like any other site member. ;)

You can also see one more piece of additional information on a user's profile now: their IP address.

This should be helpful in troubleshooting issues later down the road if a user has trouble logging in, or whatever the case might be. . .

More to come @himu and @tempest_driver -- stay tuned guys.

Also, I'd like to have at least one female moderator -- any of you ladies wanna volunteer for the position??

It doesn't really involve much yet, just really approving new accounts, and checking for spam every so often, and some of the stuff I mentioned above.. ..

Let me know ladies! :)
