New Story Alert 10 Years, 11 Months ago Karma: 6
One thing I've noticed is though I may have a specific author as a "Favorite," if they start a new story, I don't get an alert until chapter 2.

But for new stories that people don't have on their favorites, is their a way on the home page to add "NEW STORY" in a bubble or star, just to highlight that this is a new story? I think that if we do something to highlight new stories, maybe they'll get a little more traffic...

Just a thought

I think it is a nice idea! It would be great to have something to get new stories more noticed.

Though, before such a feature could be implemented (if it even is possible) we'd have to clarify some things. Like what stories would be highlighted? All of them, including oneshots, or just the serial works? And how long would a story be highlighted? Is it still new by the time the second chapter is added?

Just a few things to ponder on... ^^;

Thanks Chie, you bring up some good points.

I think that it should be all new stories/one-shots/etc, with the "NEW" flag showing for 24 hours from time it is posted. This would allow our members all around the world to see that someone has newly posted.

As for subsequent chapters, those posted within the same 24 hours as the first, this is the tricky part and I don't know if it can be programmed, but I would suggest that if the first chapter and any subsequent chapters are posted within that 24 hour time frame should still show as "NEW". The time period would have to be driven by the original date/time stamp.

I don't even know if this is possible here. I've seen something similar on another site and thought it would be helpful here ~shrugs~

I think that sounds like it would be a good feature.

Now if he can get it tweaked just right...


It's done now... Must remember to reset things when using them to check for printing out the image... *whistles innocently*

It's only showing up on the home page ... and only if the story has been "published" within a day.

Perfect! It is my hope that people will have better visibility of new stories. For me, they always get lost on the front page.

You ROCK!

Well that sure was quick. Awesome, thanks Mith! And Zybentina, too, for coming up with the idea.

Added the new icon to the Fanfiction listing as well. Now there's two places it shows up at!

And there was much rejoicing... or some other such thing.

Now if I can only figure out how to make the Anonymous Reading thing play nice... :/ Oh well, at least one thing was accomplished! Go me!

LOL, baby steps, Mith. Baby steps.

I like what you've done and am very surprised that it was put into place! Thank you! Now I can see the newbies better!

I bow to your awesomeness....
