Wow! Excellent add-on... I seem to recall some of us requested this. It's great to see that so many ideas are emerging and becoming reality here at Aminus3. Well done/chapeau ;)
I just noticed that the images on the blogwatch site didn´t refresh. There is a notice "No photoblogs on your Blog Watch have posted images for today, 3 March 2008" But definitely there are new shots. Bug or feature ;-) ?
Perhaps you can change the name on the account page from "Favourits" to "My Blogwatch"- cause there´s already a link called "Favourite" in the comment section; I think this would prevent some confusion.
Likewise, I am noticing my blogwatch selections are not updating automatically today (3/3). Is there some trick to make that happen, or is it a bug? And for some reason here I got listed under my blog title (Look Closer), but I am still your friendly, neighborhood Viewfinder. My friends call me VF.
It is a great feature to have a blogwatch and follow photoblogs that you like, thanks for that update. As usual I do some tests like adding photoblogs and removing them to see if everything is working, there seems to be a error when you try to remove a photoblog from the blogwatch list, following I paste it:
Fatal error: Argument 2 passed to FavSiteBase::delete_by_user_id() must be an object of class QueryHelper, called in /var/www/vhosts/aminus3.com/subdomains/user/httpdocs/admin/fav-details.php on line 37 and defined in /var/www/vhosts/aminus3.com/subdomains/user/httpdocs/library/php/base/FavSiteBase.php on line 484
I also noticed you are working on the option for image collection and adding friends, when checking the details of your watched blogs you can see other options in the favorites tabs, =)
It is 3/4/08 and I am noticing my blogwatch is not updating and has not since 3/2. Is there some setting I am missing, or is this a problem in the blogwatch system? I'd love to hear an answer.
There was an earlier suggestion to be able to see who's watching you. I think it's a great idea, but I think that who's watching you shouldn't be shown to other members because of insecurities perhaps?
Thanks for adding the BlogWatch...it's a really great feature. Quick question though...is there a limit of blogs you can "watch". If so, is there any way we can increase the limit? There are so many blogs that I like to visit that this is a great way to keep them organized. Thanks in advance.
Hi mtpocket - we put in a limit of 30 blog watches when we first launched this feature because we wanted to see how well the site performs with this new system. Only a few people have hit the limit so far (or at least only a few have written to ask about it) and we have not publicized it yet.
As I've mentioned before, we are working on our A+ pay accounts and will likely make unlimited blog watch a feature for paying members and limit free accounts to a fixed number of blog watches.
My question for you and others in the forum, what do you think a fair limit is for free members? Is 30 too low?
I'm so pleased to see the blog watch added, as I'm one of those who asked if we could have a way to add other members in a sort of favourites list. The way it's been done is great.
I would suggest a much higher limit for free accounts -- if you must have one at all -- because having the ability to easily go to favourite blogs can only increase the number of comments, thereby contributing to the vibrancy of the community.
