IMPORTANT UPDATE: visibility of content

[Paulsmithat]

Also notice we have added an area where you can see all your ratings: the small target icon on the top right of the suggested studios. So if you "can't see anything" that you think you should, please check this page.

This new page is a godsend, thank you! Agree with the previous poster that it's very easy to overlook but there was a tooltip that popped up for me pointing it out today.

I'm sorry I do not see how that page is a godsend unless I am missing something it does nothing to fix the issue, it just shows me what I have already clicked on.

My issue is that I had no idea what I had set to "watch". Being able to go through all of them and see there are a bunch of studios and models that I don't recognise and don't care about in there and clear them out has made my new scenes page much nicer.

[otto1219]

I finally figured it out.
Everytime I opened the page it showed the same two studios, and I could not change them. The page was set to automaticaly sign in so I kept getting the same choices.
I signed out, closed browser, then signed back in, and I was able to configure the page with the studios I want to follow. Going theough the selection process is straighforward, but takes a good while because it is such a long list and you can only see 4 of them at any one time. Also, After I got to the end of the list, many of the mainstream studios were not there, eg GIO and some others. I had to go back in and select again. There are easily a thousand choices.
So, it was cumbersome to set up, but it works!

So I still can't do a setting So i can see all new updates like before?

Jesus Christ, please return the site to the old format. You're killing the possibility of another great studio to emerge and also, there's no incentive for midsize studios to upload content as they won't be visible.

All studios, including small and medium ones, are presented at the very top of all pages that now have content restrictions. They just occupy less space than before. If you just do a few clicks you will quickly see many smaller studios that could use more support. It's not like they are buried.

Not sure XXX. Bro, I wish you well, only the best, but Toby Dick for example, hasn't released any scenes in past 9 days. I'm guessing it's a visibility issue & perhaps he got burnt on his previous 2 releases under new format. I mean I think I bought 10 of his scenes previous.

Maybe best to revert changes, inform people of what's going to happen, & say a months' time, allow them to prepare, & somehow allow for new studios to be accepted or rejected. But even that doesn't cover it all. What if there was a studio that wasn't pleasing but then started to be pleasing or came up with an odd gem?

Really I'd recommend taking a step back. I hope I don't sound rude. I respect you enormously.

[Christopher_Williams1]

Having the recommended sites up the top like it is now, isn't effective. What was there previously worked better as we can rely on the community to find scenes that they liked and the sales would push that video to the top, allowing the studio to make even more money. Eventually, people would start looking for that studio by name and then the studio continues to grow. With the carousel that you guys have to the top, maybe you can allow new studios to buy ad space, but I think we should make it as easy as possible for studios to advertised (free advertisement) their content. Once a studio is good, the commissions given to Pornbox would be worthwhile.

If nothing is done soon, traffic will slow down and getting back that traffic won't happen overnight organically. Currently, there're not enough content to keep us coming back. The rotations have been terrible. I think it was dap-addict that told me that scenes are pre-recorded months in advance and we can expect a better rotations soon. That hasn't been the case over the past year. It seems like after a bad rotation is completed, another bad rotation is sitting on the table, ready to be released for the next few months. And people don't know when a good rotation is going to be released, so eventually, they would just leave for good.

There is a lot of imagination in the scenarios I see here. For example Toby had a big spike of views since the update so he is definitely benefiting.

Again I think there are some odd uses of the site that we did not anticipate but we need some explanations and screenshots, not theories about studio production and other unrelated things.

@XXX

You asked for screenshots and feedback.
I will try to stay objective and limit rant/sarcasm.

Those are my "global" settings:

This is what i see today, right on top if i go to "new studios"

This is 3rd row:

little further down:

This problem is not limited to "new studios", since what i get when i check out "top recent studios" and scroll a bit down is:

'

I don't give a fuck if you are not applying my settings to the "Studios Views" or if those "Studios" are not settings their Tags right.
Fact is, this makes "New Studios" and " Top Recent Studios" Tab/View unbearable to me !
(Hint: maybe "gay" is not a good filter, since you don't know my gender. A female member might enjoy solo male content, while i certainly don't)
This was a severe problem long before this update, that it has not been looked at at all, even tough it was one of the most complained about topics in forum, is a direct slap in the face.

Then there is "Top Studios".
Has all the usual Studios we know forever, which always showed up on top anyway (not logged in /new user), and which every legacy member had set to his taste anyway.
But also some newish ones where i wonder how they can (still) be listed as "Top" like:
NF Studio, great start back then, but became plain scammers, re-uploading 4 year old scenes for more more tkt than the original one. (That this gets tolerated tells a lot about this whole site imho)
Or Bang Bros, not complaining about them, they are a good "Studio". But who on earth pays 6tkt or a single scene, or 30€ for a very limited Membership to them here, if you can join them directly for 10€/month ?
(For 4k+ download you also pay 30, but then you have unlimited access to all their huge library, unlike here)
Bangbros is only 1st example that showed up, there are many more like Hussie, Private, Porn World...
Just wondering how this is a benefit for Legalporno/Analvids/Pissvids.........


This was 1st part.
Next posts i try to explain how "New scenes" went from really annoying to fubar, for me.
And how reducing 5 steps of rating to just 2 strongly contributed, while also removing the last bit of perceived feedback i had.

PS:
Posting this from an new/freeloader account, since my main has my real name in it.
(asked for it to be changed prviosly, but LP id not manage ..)

change it back you fricking numpties

Yes, I still can't believe this is the first post on over a week over such a critical topic.

Change it back you Muppets.

I get that they're trying to find a way to manage the constant influx of spam studios, but the new site is still fundamentally broken. For example if I hide a studio, I don't want it hidden *everywhere* on the website - if I click on a certain model I should have the option of seeing *all* of her content, not just from the studios I haven't hidden. Or if I set up a feed for certain tags, I should have the option to see all the scenes with that tag, not just the scenes from the studios I haven't hidden. That's how the website worked before, there was no reason for them to fuck it up to this degree.

[tcooo]

Checking in here again. Just gotta get rid of the last few tickets and then I'll check again in a month if something improved and I can actually see the scenes/studio's And then maybe I'll subscribe again.

[netzerkaiser]

i thought this subject would be hopping but its so quiet.

does anyone have an opinion?

are LP losing or making money on new format, or do they even care anymore?

what is for sure is that through no fault of my own, i have bought infinitely less scenes than under the old albeit clumsy format.

that's a fact.

it kinda kills me that a scene might have come out 17 days ago that i'd buy automatically but now i don't have the visibility for.

what you think?

I haven't hidden studios, but made those I want visible by clicking the upward arrow: And for me both your examples work, i.e. I also get the studios shown I haven't clicked that arrow.
At least I think so!

From what I can tell there is no up arrow anymore, it's just show or hide. I hide most studios because they're garbage and there are thousands of them, and I don't want them to appear on my homepage when I'm checking out that day's releases. There's no reason that action should also hide them from a model's page though, it never used to be the case, so that's just a functionality issue they need to resolve.

[dap-addict]

Because there is more studios to hide I oped for "to show" me about 15 sort of core studios in my landing page. It was done much faster! And if I search for certain tags all other studios show as well - but a lot of these old scenes released first time 10 or so years ago are wrongly tagged. Thats the main problem I have searching by tags.

ok, when i go to 'new scenes' i see 'no scenes found'.

can anyone tell me how i can start from scratch to populate this field?

i like the fact that if you go into 'models' page, & hit the studio's scroll, you can get a list of available studios.

now that has an a-z & top as filters. if you could add 'by newest' as an additional feature that would help everyone greatly i think?

if somehow i could populate the 'new scenes' page with my favourites, then periodically check the merits of new studios, i could live with that.

can anyone help me start from scratch?

waterloo, i was defeated, you won the war.

Looks like you may have inadvertently hidden some studios or tags. There are a few things you can try.

First, head over to the page for the "anal" tag (linked below), as far as I know, tag settings will override the studio settings, that is if you set a tag to show all scenes containing that tag will be shown in your new scenes feed, regardless of studio.

Set it to "show" in the top left corner, same as you would with studios.
https://pornbox.com/application/niche/1

If you still don't get to see any scenes in your feed after this, head over to the tags page
https://pornbox.com/application/niche/list

By default, they should be sorted by popularity and chances are the tags that are hidden for you are common to all scenes. Just click your way through the first 5-15 of them and set them to show same way you did with the anal tag previously.

Does it have to be in conjunction with models? If not, that feature is already available if you go to main 'studios' page you can sort studios by newest in the top left corner. Though I guess you may already know this and are looking for something more specific.

Exactly!
Luckily they programmed it that way.
And that important Anselm hint answers the questions and complaints above.

Thanks for your great help. That worked. The key was I didn't know how to use the up | down. Also, I see you can select multiple tabs.

Thanks very much Anselm, I really appreciate it.

[Anselm_Weinberg]

You're welcome, brother. Glad things worked out well for you.
