In this role https://www.mycast.io/stories/add-anything/roles/best-versions-of-marvel-characters/652463696, if you put the "Sort" in "Oldest First," it's the EXACT order I put the suggestions. This THIS is the way it's supposed to be!
Thread for Specific Criticisms of the new design
the "trending stories" page looks like it never updates or changes
I just noticed about the "Trending Stories" one. Also, yeah, I checked the casting order for roles again, the ones that came on top on the main story page were seemed to be based on alphabetical order when no one votes on it. I swear, the casting order is screwed.
Also, whenever I post some reply on the forums, the post didn't immediately appear. Just have to wait for several minutes for it to actually show up lol.
the longer it takes the site's issues to get fixed, the more the cracks are showing in the new design, which in turn shows how superior the old design was over this. frankly it doesnt even feel fun to use this site anymore when the stuff you add isnt even added immediately when you refresh the page.
Another stuff that I wanna point out here:
1. When we were to upload a poster of our story, they no longer have the option to zoom in or out (change the size of the poster).
2. Actors' ages aren't displayed when we were about to cast a suggestions (back then, when we typed the actor's name, it usually show their profile along with their age AKA how old they are). Imo, this is important when wanting to cast someone for a particular role (example, u gotta look at the actor's age when casting a character, cuz no way u cast a 40-50 year old as a high schooler or a young adult lol).
3. Whenever I clicked on the Next or Prev role button, it take me to the Director role for some reason. Even when I clicked Previous or Next Role, it still brings me to the same exact Director role, not taking me to the role that I last added on my story. And even more ridiculous is that whenever I clicked the Next Role, it didn't took me to the role that I added in my own story. Rather, it took me to a role from a completely different story made by other users. And most of it is random. For the example, I was on a role of a character in one of my live action VG stories, but when I clicked the Next Role button, it took me to a Human Torch role on a Fantastic Four story by another user.
4. The zooming for character role images are way too zoomed in. Whenever I adjust the slider, the zooming is way too much.
5. I cannot see recent PMs. For some reason it only shows on the Messages notification, but when u access it, u only see the PMs you made a few years ago (basically your old PMs) and not the new ones.
Sorry for the constant reply spam on most of the threads in the Issues topic by the way. I was just trying to keep the threads that talked about the actual issues of the site alive (if you know what I mean).
I would give anything to have the old layout back again. So far this new one has been nothing but a complete disaster!
The stuff you add wasn't even added immediately unless you refresh the page or exit it and then go back.
I agree that there's still some bugs and other stuff they have yet to fix and adjust here.
What in the name of Sam Hill happened to https://www.mycast.io/stories/stagecoach-1969?
Another issue with this stupid layout is we can't see our recent private messages! All I see are old ones and we can't see what we sent! I hate this layout so much!
Finally! Guess I ain't the only one complained about not being able to see our recent PMs. U can't see what u or other users sent recently and only old PMs, which is a total pain.
Heck, I'd say using private messages is the only choice we could do to get other users come to our stories since now, in this current layout, whenever u tagged/mentioned someone in the comment, u won't get any notifications (srsly, that's one of my complaints here along with the PMs).
I have to constantly refresh the page to see all the suggestions
And then whenever you cast a suggestion or added a character image on a role, it gets too long for them to appear. They don't even appear immediately like it used to back then
Well, u can refresh the page for them to appear. But sometimes they don't even when u refresh. U have to exit the page and then get back to it to see it appear, which was a pain tbh.
And by the way, regarding posters, it seems you cannot zoom in or out the poster images that u uploaded as the image size has automatically been set once u added a poster image.
Hey, anyone had a problem with the Search? Because it always shows the exact same thing twice (two exact same stories made by the same exact user. It's definitely not a duplicate story) or just... y'know, being kinda buggy and stuff bcuz some stuff didn't appear unless u put certain words in it (although that one could've been my skill issue at best lmao).
Notifications from blocked users shouldn't show up AKA we shouldn't be able to receive notifications from a user who we just blocked, and so it should disappear after we block the said user.
I just blocked a user recently, but the notification of him voting on my castings is still there and not gone. This was a thing for the old layout, now the new layout somehow still have us receive notifications from blocked users. Or MAYBE, this was an error on my end? I don't really know.
@Spidersonicprime had said this, but I need to say it again for the guys up there (you know who) to notice.
1. Bring back the option to allow other users to make edits or suggestions to roles in a story where the creator choose only the creator to make the suggestions and edits and the option to allow only the story creator themselves to make edits and suggestions to roles in a story where roles are open to everyone.
This was the Advanced Settings whenever we edited a Character Role on our story, but it'd be easier if we have it too on each character roles and not just on the Edit Story section. This was a thing back in the old layout, but now they got rid of it. I know there's a collaborate option WHICH U GOTTA PAY FOR. But the one mentioned above is way easier than just going to the story settings, and would be easier as well if we didn't want any suggestion for a specific role (locking a specific role so that no one can cast an actor except for the story creator).
2. We receive emails about users voting on our suggestions, private messages, other users making suggestions in roles you made, and getting mentioned in comments by other users. Idk why we didn't receive any new emails despite the account settings said so.
Okay never mind, my complaint about the actor profile editing has just been debunked lol. It was just me having skill issues with this new layout, especially on mobile.
The pagination/infinite scroll feature does not work, and keeps me from being able to load beyond the first 20 roles.
Also, the "search for a poster" in the "Add a Story" isn't working!
