videoville - 361 videos and 241 directors strong - has just jumped servers and is now running on MediaWiki 1.12.

         

kev, this moneyfornothing avi is b0rked

         

Thanks, kays.

         

kevathens, which links are you referring to exactly? I can see both inside the box on the right, and they are working; but maybe it's due to a specific user role...?

         

Hi tobi, I can't see them over here. :(

         

once i'm logged in i see them fine. (what i don't see is the story, when i'm commenting on it. i take it that's a bug to be fixed? oh, and: that allow comments really should be checked by default... but i think that and the stories-per-page and recent comments-per-page might be issues that kris needs to sort out) btw. more info for everyone re: antville 1.2 here.

         

antcast, the antville video podcast, is BACK! subscribe to it in itunes or miro, then sit back and let quicktime goodness fill your soul...

1000K thx, tobi!

(k - any chance you want to change the title of this post to sumthin like "antville 1.2 news & blues"?)

         

If this can help, here's an unusual behavior: when I click to read comment that is on the same page I am already browsing, the page is reloaded from scratch, instead of just jumping to the related anchor.

         

dek: let tobi know here.

         

oh well u live n learn!

         

maybe this is a stupid question, but I am trying to search for antcast to subscribe to the video podcast through itunes and it isn't showing up (neither is a search for "antville"). Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

         

no-go: itunes never vetted it. you need to go into itunes>advanced>subscribe to podcast, and then just copy in the link feeds.feedburner.com .

         

dek: let tobi know here.

Nevermind. I see that the comments now use a "nice URL" without the anchor, thus the new behavior is what is being expected.

         

expected, maybe, but not improved, i'd say. (i'll let him know.)

         

trivia: this is the 8372th story on videos.antville.org! 2472 last year alone

         

antville 2.0 question- does this mean the front page is 4 stories? So someone posts a great video, and then some dorks post 4 shitty ones and that great video is bumped to the backpages?

Minor thing; but I feel like some great work won't get it's due because of bad timing. Anyway to put the old number of front page stories back?

         

cap': the point's been put to kris (also re: number of recent comments on front page). he'll no doubt right this.

         

i second the cap'n

         

I don't like these short pages. :(

         

me neither

         

fixes coming mid-week..

         

The reloading of the page with each click on a comment shouldn't happen anymore.

Comments should be enabled by default in the story editor.

And could someone check if the missing links have re-appeared, please?

         

Uh, and how many stories would you like to see on the front page?

         

mo than fo thats fo sho

         

tobi: thx plenty.

the videos.antville frontpage had about 15 stories previous to the renovation - 20 might be ideal (that'd be about three days worth of posts, given videos.ant's average); and recent comments featured were 40 - if memory serves me right.

main other thing: d'you think it's possible to be able to see the story and previous comments while one writes (and saves) a new comment?

(oh, and: how come so much text now shows in the recent comments list? used to be three four words at most...)

         

I'd go for 15. Less is better?

Hey Tobi, is it possible to have a separate box to enter director names, and have these automatically link to Videoville?

e.g: The White Stripes "Conquest" dir. Diane Martel

If you need help implementing this, I can definitely help.

         

most things fixed, thx to kris. search is also partly re-enabled, currently only finds text in the body&title of posts, not in comments.

videoville director-link and some other possible features are getting some thought. other problems/gripes/requests?
