I agree. The infinite scroll feature on stories need some fixing.
Thread for Specific Criticisms of the new design
Why the old myCast was better? Well because the new one is still flawed. There's some bugs and stuff that haven't been fixed. Plus, several features from the old ones were left out.
More important bugs and errors are the fact that u don't receive any notifications after being tagged or mentioned in the comments by another user and vice versa, and u didn't receive any 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.
Thirdly, u CANNOT even see new messages on your private message inbox and can only see messages that u made ages ago (old messages).
The list keeps going, and the rest can be seen here in the previous replies on this thread, but yeah.
They also need to 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.
I keep casting roles, then returning and finding that it’s listed as “no suggestions”, or sometimes the image of the actor will show, but when going to vote it says “no suggestions” - like it completely removes what I entered. The popups are exhausting and the new AI crap has got to go. I miss the old site.
Heck, it doesn't even show my castings nor the characters' images even after I refreshed it many times and have been getting in and out of the page several times. This new layout really need some adjustments and fixing.
WRT to the email notifications since that's been passed around a bit - I got in touch with Robby White about this and according to him, they're working on building an entirely new system for email notifications which is why they haven't been readded yet, and that they're also working on a very in-depth email newsletter that will be sent out at the beginning of each week. So, don't worry, they're coming back.
Passing this along from the Slack, but two of the things I know people were complaining about not having here (Individual role permissions and not being able to see who uploaded images to actor galleries) have since been readded! Here's the full summary:
- See who uploaded a gallery image
Open any image in an actor's gallery and you'll now see "Uploaded by @username," linked to their profile. Handy for crediting contributors — and for reporting or blocking anyone posting images that break the rules.
- Lock down individual roles
Story owners can now control who suggests actors on a per-role basis, separate from your story-wide settings. On any role's edit page you'll find "Who can suggest actors for this role" with three choices:
Use story setting (default — nothing changes)
Only me— lock the role so only you can add actors to it
Anyone— open a single role to the community even on an otherwise-restricted story
Perfect for those faceclaim/fancast roles with specific caveats where you want full control over what gets added — no more constant blacklisting and re-adding.
- Your sort choice now sticks
When you sort a role's suggestions (Top Voted / Newest / Oldest), that choice now carries across every role and story you view, instead of resetting each time.
Planning the entertainment early can make a big difference to the flow of a wedding celebration. A professional old gore barn wedding dj can create the perfect soundtrack for every moment, from the first dance to the final song. Great music and smooth coordination help guests relax, celebrate, and enjoy an unforgettable evening.

@dizzyfeetevents bro sybau, no one's inviting u, and NOBODY asked u to be here lol.
Okay, some good news: I think they finally had us receive notifications when we're being mentioned in the comments by others again.
But I still want the notifications emailed to us!
Damn, still no emails huh. Well, guess we gotta wait for another long time : (
when people mention you in a comment inside a specific role, clicking the alert just throws you into the story itself and you have to go hunt down the comment inside each role one at a time.
Also, another thing I forgot to address. A casting that has been officially confirmed should ALWAYS come out on top even if there's another casting suggestions with even more votes than the officially confirmed one.
This used to be the case for the old layout. But now, it doesn't seem to be, saw it on a Life is Strange fancast story.
auto load of roles after the first 20 on desktop version still does not seem to work. its been 3 months now guys.
Okay, I try to reorder roles on my recent story which had like 42 or smt. But when I try to reorder them, there were only 30 roles listed while the others that came after the original 30 are NOT listed there (didn't even show up on the list even tho the story itself has it).
How tf am I supposed to reorder and fix my story's roles? This shit's annoying smh.
Heck, I even try to refresh it and try to exit the page and enter it again. NOTHING CHANGED! It's still not listed when I try to reorder my roles!! 😭😭😭
I have to refresh the fucking page in order to see cast suggestions every time
would be nice to get a response from an admin about all these issues, if even just to see that you acknowledge our complaints.
There are some countries that are missing, such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, and others that weren't listed in the nationality sections for actors.
Not only that, but we still can't look at our recent messages that we made on the private messages and we can only look at the outdated messages from many years ago instead of the recent ones lol.
My new favorite feature of the site was that you could just put a picture in the role using one of the buttons but now it doesn't do that anymore. This new format blows.
forum requires a "jump to last page" option on forum threads, like this one, so users dont have to manually flip through 5 pages of comments to get to the latest one.
Can somebody do something about the casting? Because most of the times, a confirmed casting on some stories didn't came out on top bcuz they had lesser votes.
Like, the official castings for MCU's X-Men were already confirmed, but most of the times, I see that the ones that came out on top and show up in the story's main page are the suggestions that wasn't even confirmed. Why? Bcuz those suggestions has more votes than the official confirmed ones.
(for example: Kit Connor is officially confirmed to play Cyclops, but the one that came out on top was another actor suggestion because that one has more votes, while Kit Connor as Cyclops suggestion has less votes + a downvote).
Back then, confirmed casting always came out on top, no matter how many votes they got. Now it's no different than any other basic casting suggestion.
Get rid of the paywall. It's not worth it.
