>>> Board Upgrades, Fixes and New Feature

[Petra]

Yesterday the board was updated to the latest version. Please let me know if you believe anything is broken!

Next, I believe the upgrade may have fixed the search problem that we've been having. For those of you who've complained about the search, let me know if it's gotten better.

Lastly, we installed a new plugin for bookmarks. With this bookmark plugin you will be able to:

- share bookmarks
- search for bookmarks by labels/tags

If you want to bookmark a thread, then bookmark the 1st post. Otherwise the post that you bookmark will show up in your bookmark folder. Let me know how you guys like this one!

Did the upgrade bring us the "Similar theads" section at the bottom of each page? In general, and I see a lot of Niche and Fetish Corner pages, the suggestions are appalling. For example, in this thread:

https://www.freeones.com/forums/threads/white-men-fucking-asian-women.773026/

here are the "similar threads":

Is this functionality broken or is from lack of tags or something else in the threads?

The board upgrade must have added it. I'll see if I can adjust it in any way... or it might just need time to compile.

More importantly, HOW is the search?

Haven't tried it, rarely need to, and when I did, the old one was generally okay. Anybody else have feedback on it?

Since nobody's saying anything, it must be ok finally.

Anyone have feedback on the bookmarks??

Yeah! the three letter ban is gone for searchs

Search looks good. Tried some phrase/quotation searches, and the excerpt in the results not only matches the phrase, but also highlights individual search terms if they appear in the same excerpt. Improvement for sure!

Similar threads feature down below also seems relevant for me.

Excellent! Glad we finally got this thing to work (somewhat) correctly!

Some threads, yes but in Fetish Corner, mostly no. I really suspect it comes down to how well tagged things are. Most tags = better suggestions. Few or lack of tags = irrelevant suggestions. No good way to fix this unless we can go back and add/fix tags to threads. Please try this out and see if I'm correct.

Example:

The Non-Nude thread: https://www.freeones.com/forums/threads/best-non-nude.468/ has these tags:

which leads to these suggestions:

Why the Non-Nude thread has a tag for "farm system" is beyond me but it leads to the "Just Say No To Farmed Salmon" suggestion.

 

[Petra]

Yea, unfortunately unless someone wants to go clean up stuff that's something that takes a human to fix. I can't set something in the admin for it.

Just say no to farmed salmon. Honestly, this worked on me. I'm looking that up!
