  3. OK, these have been added! Note, they won't show up in the search box until at least one artist makes an association between their song and the show song.

      A collection of markup, styles, and scripts that are served by computers with working partition tables :D

  6. This will be addressed with the next design update

    feature request An API would be nice.

    An API isn't a bad idea, but it is not planned at the moment Now; you technically *could* query the endpoints that the site itself uses; but I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than some basic data mining. The endpoints that the site uses are subject to change at any point (which is why they're under the /api/web namespace). It's possible though that we could create another API that would be more stable for 3rd part developers.

    feature request Features & Feedback

    Thanks for the feedback! I've responded to most of your points individually This was a planned feature, but was dropped due to routing issues. What I mean is that when you're on a discover page, and you select a track, you *should* be able to hit the back button and get back to where you were. This wasn't possible using the current routing framework that PFM uses. I would like to see this feature, but it would require some design considerations This is currently not planned, but may be implemented sometime in the future. This is planned. These can be added to the next set of changes. Dunno about this one; it isn't a bad idea, but likely won't make it into the next few change sets. This feature is supposed to be rolled into Poniverse itself, and not something specific to PFM. This is possible, but isn't planned at the moment. This is similar to a "saved searches" feature that was dropped due to time. It will be added back soon. This can be addressed in the upcoming design changes. This will be addressed soon. This gets complicated... will have to speak with Feld0 about it. This isn't a planned feature, but will make its way in at some point in the future. This will be added to the next release If I have time for the next update, these features may find their way in. They're good ideas, of course, and will be added eventually.

    Bug report(s)

    Do you mean, when you hit play on a track page, that the player "freezes"? If you played a track from the discover page, it should play the next one on that page when it's finished - even if you've navigated away.
  10. This will be adressed within the next week or so. Thanks for the report!

    feature request Some Sort of Shuffle Option

    A shuffle feature would be nice; though the implementation of one is not trivial due to the way navigation works. Are you wanting a shuffle feature on the discover page itself, on the "top tracks" or on playlists?
  12. Huh. It worked fine in IE10 - however, it seems IE11 is complete borked. I aim for compatibility with IE10+, so this will be adressed in the upcoming design changes. Thanks for the heads up!
  13. Wow! This was a bit of an oversight. I'm adding this to the things to address in the upcoming design changes. Thanks for noticing!
  14. Yeah, you guys are quite clearly misunderstanding something. There are no mods with 6 or 1 posts. Not sure I exactly understand what you're saying here. Anyhow, Poniverse staff are *not* MLP Staff. I am one of the very few Poniverse staff members (maybe the only one?) who has any sort of mod capabilities on MLPF - but it's very limited and completely constrained to the pony.fm forum which is hosted on the site. I have no control over any aspect of MLPF or Poniverse that I am not directly responsible for. Frankly I am a little bit offended that some members seem to see Poniverse staff as a vanity position, or a position where the person involved has been granted "promotions" over other members of this forum. The reason why some Poniverse staff have so few posts (myself included) is that for the many projects in Poniverse, staff members are recruited from other channels. Believe it or not, not everyone is on this forum. Since Poniverse includes projects that have nothing to do with forums, it's perfectly natural to see staff members not having existing accounts on this site. When I got started with Poniverse, I had contacted Feld0 directly via email asking him if he needed help on a specific Poniverse project (unrelated to MLPF). At the time I knew very little about him or this website. Are you guys all suggesting here that my ability to provide value to Poniverse is predicated upon me having an existing account on this website? I am troubled that the title next to my name is somehow making people feel uneasy. It seems to be stemming out of a complete lack of understanding of who Poniverse staff are, what we do and how we operate. Perhaps we can make things more clear, and I hope that this posts helps with that to some degree. Or perhaps people should realize that just because I only have 101 active posts on this website, does not mean I don't pour the countless hours of work into the projects I am involved with (pony.fm being the biggest one). I don't care about the title, it's just two words. But don't you dare say I didn't earn it.

  17. Mr Feld0 got the songs ported over. Thanks for the feedback!
  18. This feature has been implemented! You can now unlist a track on the edit page, using the "is listed" checkbox. In a related note: if anyone sees a Littlest Pet Shop Happy Hardcore Remix appearing on the website, let me know - that just means I forgot to filter out unlistd tracks somewhere
  19. This issue has been resolved! Thanks for the report!

  21. The old design wasn't just an old design that I can plop on the new codebase. It wasn't an application, nor did it feel like one. We are working on something that has elements from the old design, but will be applied ontop of our new codebase and be able to house features that were not possible with the first BETA. As far as "recent tracks." Again, that information can be easily found on the discover page. I'm not against making it more clear how to get to that page on the homepage - but it will be made redundant with the activity stream. Remember that the activity stream will include, and highlight, new track uploads - so it serves the exact same purpose while also saving space and encouraging community interaction. This will be addressed with the design revisions we are working on. Right now I'm waiting for that to launch, instead of spending time on fixing things that will become irrelevant (things like this and the drop-downs being cut off).
  22. Hey Wonderbolt! If you don't know, I'm the lead developer of PFM now. The entire site was redeveloped from the ground up for this release; and it's important to understand that although it doesn't say "BETA" anywhere it is still considered to be one. Don't get the impression that this is the final release. I personally find "BETA" tags to be... a bit lame, but it may not be a bad idea to add one in to make it clear to everyone that this is still under heavy development. As far as your feedback; don't worry at all about offending people. Being a professional web developer, I think I've developed some thick skin in regards to user feedback. However, I do get very much irritated at people who are like "oh, it's different and it sucks" and nothing more - but since you didn't do that here, you have nothing to worry about Before I say anything else I'd also like to point out that the current design was a combination of something I pulled out of my ass while trying to meet the deadline; and some guidance from our designer. The current design is workable for what I wanted to accomplish for the release (to get people to start testing the new codebase), but I knew from day one it would have to be revisited. I'm currently working with a designer on a new design. We're going back to a layout that has a fixed max-width (it'll still scale down when you resize your window; but it won't fill the entire screen like it does now) as well as placing navigation up on the top. There are quite a few other purely visual things that are being worked on as well that should address many, if not all, of your concerns specifically. In addition to that, I am working on an activity stream and notifications. The activity stream will be prominently placed on the homepage, and will combine activity from the entire site into an easy-to-follow and interact-with stream ala Facebook or Twitter. This will replace the "recent uploads" part (if you want that information, head on over to the "discover" page) and will be made to be less visually dense than the current setup. At this point I'm thinking of a design similar to Twitter. More on that in a bit. The activity stream will combine comments (on anything from tracks to profiles), favorites, new uploads and follows. I've designed a pruning and aggregation algorithm over the last week that will remove duplicate information and address issues such as a single user spamming it. The most important part of the activity stream is that it is interactive. Tracks will have players, and when you play them, will expand to show the download and favorite buttons as well as comments - and a form for you to submit a comment right there. Same with albums, playlists and profiles. The idea is that this should be where a user spends most of their time on PFM if they are interested in keeping up to date with it. The hope is that this will address the concern that PFM feels too "static" and doesn't offer many places for interaction at this point. Also; at this time, the stream will be global. I hope that one day PFM has enough active users to have it only display activity from people you're following; but that isn't the case right now. I don't have a release date for these features; but I wanted to make it very clear to everyone that we are listening to feedback as well as implementing our own ideas for how to make PFM better - they're just not 100% ready yet Thanks!

  23. I've known about this being a possibility for a while; yet it isn't any easier seeing it happen. You have friends here, Marco. Despite that you believe your work goes unnoticed (for reasons...) you have actually been a vibrant part of my own involvement with Poniverse. I recognize and appreciate this. At the end of the day, you must do what makes you happy. Nothing should come between yourself and your personal goals - and when a situation becomes impossible to work with, it is your responsibility to make the decisions you need to make. I hope to see you around; and I look forward to seeing you at Bronycon 2014.
  24. Thanks for the heads up, this has been resolved. Remember though that this wasn't just a redesign of the website - it ended up practically an entire rewrite. Some things (like this) were simply missed by accident and wasn't a conscience decision I made to change the functionality.
  25. The accounts are shared, so yes, it is indeed integrated. It is technically possible (though not trivial) to not require a person to login with their poniverse account (even by just clicking on the "login" link if they're already logged in at poniverse.net). However, at this point, that is something that we haven't had the time to look into.
