User blog:Endlesspossibilities 2006/First impressions of ICP and the discussions

Ok as most would know the SML Fanon Wikia has changed with Forums being removed and the entire wiki going to UCP or so while I don’t understand why the latter happened at the moment I will give my first impressions on both (although the discussions have been here since like August or before but just grouping it together to not sound like I’m milking out blogs or something so I’ll start with this

Note: I used my IPad for most of all of my interactions on here so if there’s differences on computers than Yeah take this with a grain of salt Stuff that I’m ok with

-The color scheme

The color scheme while I prefer the other one being more vibrant for a lack of a better word the color scheme is still ok and tolerable it’s basically a light mode for the wikia same goes for the discussions

-The writing

While recently I did not do much writing here but from what is shown it’s ok and I’ll concede before the change to UCP I had problems just coping the scripts from where I write Chaoters and Shorts since it doubles the space in between lines and I have to delete them and sometimes it just has > or something like that like with the season two premiere of Tournament Arc But I could be ok with that

What I have issues with

Now to note this is not in order of what is the most problematic so if things sound like Murder, Arson, And Jaywalking Than my bad

Discussions: No Quoting

Now what do I mean by this well before Forums were removed and during the massive wave of Q&A’s (and me being a reason in part why there were so many) and the usual things we do to answers questions is to quote them so people would know which question did they answer while there were exceptions but that what the are exceptions not the usual thing but fast forward to discussions there was no way to quote while I did but that was me having to do this

But still that still an issue and basically sorta made Q&A’s kinda for the lack of a better word hard to do (not exactly a problem for Roleplay things Like Jeffy And the YouTube Headquarters And SFU Roleplay)

UCP: The thing bouncing up and down during writing

Yeah how do I explain this when I was uploading my new Short when I type in changes the thing goes up and down with each letter typed in it gets dizzying after a bit

UCP: Message Walls.

Yeah just doing this part all together ahem let’s start

Trying to link stuff

While Sending Slugs a message on the Friday the 13th SFU stories I tried to do [ [ And that failed which I mainly did do Than when I notified RH my new Short I tried just copying the link than pasting it while it succeeded the first attempt didn’t when I pressed save it just failed Than I had to do it again but it less serious but never the less

Next the message walls of RH was nearly gone while Culdee’s was mostly gone while with mine with as much as I seen was mostly intact still it meant that art that others did for fun or skits sent to them are gone like say my Firestar Abridged skits except I found them via my contributions than why would this be much of a problem as I making it out to be well

The navigation through it sucks remember me and the other SFU members (for the most part) has been here for a year and made stories and added categories and made comments and messages on message walls which would mean there be a decent amount of edits and let’s say you needed banner art but remember someone did some a few months ago but uh oh the messages that had it on your message wall but you still have your message with the art itself Than time to look for it now just have to put in the time code because of the many edits you made than you got it
