Website: Realm Page feedback & Ideas!

Firstly, how cool! I love how fast my colony sign updated and that it only took a few minutes after updating–several times-- my realm’s page on the website, for it to show the updated version on the website!

I LOVE that it has a dedicated description section for info, AND a dedicated info section for rules/guidelines for players to know before they go! That’s so awesome, thank you!

Also love the ability to make a custom banner, and info on the best size it should be, and that the important stuff should be kept in the middle for when it’s used on a smaller info-card type view! Great thinking and clarity!

On that same note, LOVE that I got 8 images to upload additionally, to show what may have been described in the description, and or the actual landing spot of the SLURL a player will teleport to when clicking the TP button!

Here’s where the first suggestion/idea comes in:

Instead of “CAPTION FOR THE NEXT ONE” maybe try “CAPTION HERE FIRST, THEN BROWSE IMAGE” ?

I suggest that, or something similar, because I admittedly thought the first image might give me a pop up to caption, and I uploaded it without a caption, and that’s when I realized both why it was written, “CAPTION FOR THE NEXT ONE” and why I didn’t get a popup for the first pictures caption, lol. Of course, since it only took one try, and was easy enough for me to delete and do it proper the 2nd time, this suggestion is an easy one to bypass, even for me! :heart:

Anyroad..

Next, I LOVE that you guys included a “Who to contact about this land” section, where I, the owner of the sever stuff, can name who else on the land can be contact about stuff and what stuff specifically!

2nd Suggestion:

Allow a check-box option maybe, that allows me to include myself, my own name, as someone to contact about stuff and name which stuff.

I also admit, I tried to put my name first, as primary contact for ALL things on the land, and realized it wouldn’t let me because it says I’m already named as owner.

I, personally, never assume the “owner” is a contact person unless there’s a sign somewhere saying they are, because enough of the playgrounds I’ve played on have had “private” owners, who maybe even built everything but aren’t really involved in much but their own stuff otherwise. Naturally, this made me want to make it clear, even as an owner of the playground, I’m a great contact person for all things.

Totally okay if I’m in a minority for those experiences and thus, you guys decide to keep it as is. All good, no problem! I’m just offering the feedback/ideas! xD

..

Lastly, but not leastly, lol … because you guys wrote, “A gallery below your description. Show the places people actually arrive at” for the screenshot section of those 8 pictures, I can’t help but want to be able to include SLURL’s for some of those locations, like as part of the caption I could include or leave blank for none. Would that be doable?

Thanks for all the awesome work!

I forgot to add the suggestion to change the lingo from “region” to “playground” or “sim” even, because in SL, “region” refers to the whole sim, and not all SLC playgrounds are a region, some are just a parcel on a region… Maybe it’s semantics but, I felt like suggesting it, do with it as you please!

Hey @RemmyHun - good to see you back on the forums and posting your ideas - it’s been a long time!

Just letting you know that all your suggestions here were noted and were actually well detailed.

I have gone ahead and implemented all of your suggestions.

1. Editable captions. There’s now an Edit control on every screenshot, so the order stopped mattering. Label clarified and its hint moved above the field.

2. Owner as a contact. Now a checkbox, not the name box, and you can add yourself :slight_smile:

3. Image SLURLs — I have implemented that.

4. “region” → "realm”. I’ve renamed the “Around the Region” to “Around the Realm” which matches the rest of our language used on our whole website.

Let me know how you go adding yourself to the realm :slight_smile:

Amazing! Thank you so much for your speedy response AND resolution! I’ve already peeped at the update and added myself as a contact, and I’m going to start adding SLURL’s to the pictures I wanted to give them easy access to those spots!

Also, “Realm” was a great choice! Thanks for letting me know my details of those suggestions were well received and not overdone! lol I’ve been practicing my short-and-to-the-pointness.
