Also biggest of all what IF requires is to support Image and Gif upload on its own. Tired of having to upload the images/gif in image hosting sites which do not work after a while until premium membership is taken and then post on IF. Though direct embedding of Twitter and Instagram and YouTube was the bestest update after rewards, but then if this image hosting problem is solved that would provide a lot of respite to all of us.

Coming to tag, number of people being tag should be increased.

Also allow keyword / phrase search for fanfiction.

The Google search, helps but ends after 10 pages.

Would love if filter for Year too is added along with it.

Tags we will increase soon but we can only make it till 10.

Well we ourselves want to start the image upload feature but little wary about the resources it might take up. So do not want to start it without proper checks.

Some restrictions we have planned:

• We would be keeping image upload for senior members or above.
• Limit on number of images and kind of image a user can upload. We would have to bring in rules which does not violates any copyright laws.
• Max Limit on Image size eg. 200kb - 1mb. And our server will further compress it for fast loading.
• User putting image needs to give proper details about the image.
• Per post only certain number of posts can be added and there would be a daily limit also.
• We would not be able to support GIF upload for now.
• We will reserve the right to disable image upload feature for certain users who often misuse this feature.
• Feature may be disabled / enabled on certain forums / topics. Will be sharing more details when we are near the launch of that feature.

Cheers,

Vijay

Does the IF years badge go up only if we complete 5-10-15 years. I have completed 6 years (I think) and my badge still shows 5?

Now it shows 6.

And now anniversary badges will be calculated and sent daily.

Hello..

I am facing some issues in certain ff threads where I am unable to see any new post... The current ones are posted around 1 or 2 months ago and after that even after refreshing I am unable to see new OS or FFs.. Please look into it.

Thank you!!!

5 badges are visible, anniversary, group, engager, commentor & friends wala

Do we have badge for 100 buddies? I haven't gotten mine yet.. 110+ buddies hai mere🤔

Also these autoplay video ads are really eating up my data.. ads load before the content and it's irritating cuz they won't stop playing. Could we please not have them? I'm cool with normal ads without audio/video.

Thank you for your feedback.

We have optimized the page and have reduced a lot of ads. For example the top ad we have removed from Mobile devices so you get access to the content right away.

We have limited the video (which shows our latest video for more visibility) in Forum Post page and it has been frequency capped to 4 times in 24 hours. So lets say you visit 4 topics/article pages and the 5 page onward you will not be seeing it.

And yeah as for the data these are streaming in HLS so it downloads only in small chunks and often plays it from cache if you have seen it in the previous page.
