Thanks to sharcu for harassing me to finally add moods to allpoetry
Below the online list on the right, you'll notice a new menu for 'Your mood is'. You can set your mood as a smiley, and it will show next to your name for your favorites. Your "mood text" will also show below the link to 'View profile' when they hover over your name. We're still testing some things with the latest update, so please be patient with the bugs
We've also made some more additions and fixes to the advanced author page editing features.

Thats KEWL! go sharcu for making u do that!(not that harassing is good)
-
That is so cool! It reminds me of that thing on deviantART, and I love it!
-
(A reponse to certain comments)
Yeah...so it's a little Myspace and a little Facebook...but I think the main idea is this little feature won't make AP anything like Myspace or Facebook...know why? Because there is no crap here I come here for poetry...not to check in on insane drama or whine...not that I do either because I'm a mature adult. I don't exactly see any of that networking drama on AP and I'm sorry for anyone who does...letting your friends know what mood you're in isn't going to destroy the foundation of the website.

(Sorry if I came off a little mean...that's my "term paper" voice...that voice gets me A's in English class, haha.) -

if AP were like myspace, everyone would be running around in their underwear... (I'm feel I'm too old for Facebook, sorry, my prejudice!) I think the smiley thing is a nice addition here- it might be a starting point for an interaction which would result in an earth-shakingly profoundly deep piece... (wouldn't that be a change of pace!)

hmmmm all this talk of going away from poetry i think is a load of crap -- i love reading and writing here, but why can't we have fun along the way if you don't like the feature, its simple -- dont use it
but i quite like the idea of the moods as i said before -- and i agree with a comment below -- would be great if we could have a busy or away smiley to add to the list --
great work as always Kevin
oh as mentioned would be great to keep the motto seperate from this please
-
Moody Mottos
Yeah Dude, like I want my motto, like in Latin dude. Seriously I quite liked my motto. It is in fact a motto I chose for myself when I went to college & try & get my head around 21st century computer technology. I nearly stole the RAF's motto.
But I like this one "per angusta ad augusta"
"through struggle to honours"
I just don't get the 'mood' thing at all. -
Kevin, My "When I'm not writing I'm blank" doesn't show up even though I always fill it in. Please fix it so I don't have to say "My mood is humming."
-
I agree with thelordreigns - but other than that, well done, Kev!
-
one little suggestion
Kevin, can we have two lines on our author's page - one that says "My mood is ....." - Then another line that says "My motto is......."
I think that keeps the integrity and tradition of the motto. I remember when the motto used to show up on each comment! I guess I am becoming a sentimental veteran here too ....
Happy 4th of July!

I miss the My motto also, i used to love to read other peoples mottos after they read a poem or sent a reply to you
-
-
I like this. I'm using it right now.
Can we have one for when people IM us and stuff like that. Kind of like "Available" and "Away" (with custom messages if it's not too much)?
Thankees much

this almost proves to me that this site is falling away from writing itself and starting to aim at the young and their "myspace generation, etc." isn't this site about writing, despite the mood, and so on ... after over a year i decided to start posting again 'cause of the few talented writers i have become friends with ... i see nothing has changed ... i guess "anything to make money" will soon replace "the art of writing"
damn, this is funny, so now we can see a person online and find out what mood they are in ... hell, enjoy your steak dinner -
hmmmm...I'd have to agree that I don't really like that the moods thingie has taken the place of the motto. I liked the motto way better. However, I can't even see my trophies on Opera so it doesn't affect me majorly anyways.
-
woot!
i like it..
but i would prefer it, and perhaps many others, that the motto be kept separate than the "text".. you can have a mood text field rather than clubbing the two together. like facebook does it.. "BlahBlah is...."
I believe that would be better.
-
don't people's moods change from moment to moment depending on what they are doing here and what poem they are reading/writing? Geez- Kevin - it would be kinda hard to keep up!
-
awwwwww, cute
I like it...
peace everyone.....
We have been through much worse with upgrades
Remember??????

Sounds interesting. Seems my favorites don't have any yet so I've yet to see how these look. I think that can be useful to people like me who are a lot on AP but sometimes not really doing much. But just a suggestion, perhaps you should try not to make AP to FaceBook like, 'cause I hate all the apps there and that's where I saw moods before, but moods alone is good. Could we one day have a real-time AP IM?
-
OMG I put mine as
and it's so cute and tiny I love it
-
Please return the text to "my motto is"
I don't think that should have anything to do with the emoticon beside our name
-
right. got it now
under visitors.
couldnt see it before
i like it
good job kev -
I'd earnestly suggest you concentrate on getting the rules written approriately and take care of this site in a way that is deemed responsible... Instead of concentrating on being a fun person???? Just a Thought...
-
How can I decide on a mood?
My motto is, "If you don't like my mood, wait five minutes because it will change by then." lol
-
-
Lol, You're clever!
-
-
I'm sorry, I feel like I'm spamming here.
But, I saw first hand how the "mood" looks when a friend of mine had her mood set in my online list...and to be quite honest, I think it looks rather unattractive and if it is possible, I was wondering if there could be an option to turn it off. Or perhaps maybe instead of having the mood by the username in the online list, simply have it showing under the drop down links when you hover over the names, or simply have it showing on their author's pages or something under "My Account" instead.
I really do not like the way it looks. -
I also have another question.
How come we can't edit our motto under our author page settings anymore? I kind of liked it that way. -
"# Last seen right now. Member since August 30, 2004.
# I'm a rain & tears poet for 10359 comments.
# My mood is Every rose has it's thorns, and I have mine. I can make you bleed on the inside."
...
Um....that's a motto, not a mood, is it not? Will that be fixed? -
Thank you
-
I enjoy the mood addition, but I miss 'my motto'
guess I should learn to cope without it
-
"My mood is Youth and skill are no match for experience and treachery."
that's was my motto....I liked having a motto. I'm always cloaked, so the mood is a moot point for me. -
wootness . . . always thought this would be a good feature to have on here
-
As Sharcu says...Poetry=emotions and so I think it is a wonderful idea!!!
I appreciate the fact that Kevin is always trying to improve this site as well as the fact that HE LISTENS to people...
That is rare and personally I appreciate it.
I care how people feel on here. I know my poetry evokes my emotion on any given day as I am sure others can testify to.
My only complaint is I am a big doofus and don't see the place where you set it...
I say way to go Kevin...WhoooooooooHoooooooooo!

I love this awesome new feature. It's great
-
How MySpace and Facebook
I liked how "clean" AP was without the same things as them sites, why I use this site more than any other -
What an awesome feature. It kind of reminds me of what facebook has for mood settings. Thanks for always updating this site with cool new features.
I've been a member here since 2003, but didn't really start posting a lot until 2005. I must admit I'm addicted to writing poetry and it's all thanks to this site. I've been here so long, all the time spent writing has made me come up with a style all my own, though I notice since I first started writing the cosmology/philosophy/reincarnation style in 2006, it's starting to catch on on this site, well maybe not the reincarnation and philosophy, but quantum physics sure seems to be catching on. Thanks for making allpoetry such a wonderful place for poets. Keep up the great work.

im using internet explorer and i can't see the mood thing at all, just to let you know. not complaining, just tyring to help.
-
-
Yeah, me either. My friend and I are trying it out, but I can't see what hers says.
-
-
This sounds like what's on MySpace. Should be fun to use!
-
OKies, so it works on firefox, but it's not working on Opera...which I use all the time.
-
Oh wait...I'm a doofus...I see it...heh...
-
I'm confused...I can't see the moods thing at all. I've tried on Opera as well as firefox and it shows up on neither. Am I doing something wrong?
-
WONDERFUL
I love it! just another way to connect and be family...awesome idea...thanks bunches for such a wonderful site
-
Yay! I like it!
-
Go Tim!! I think he likes harassing people lol.. umm, sorry. But anyway, these are some really cool changes .. I like the whole "mood" thing.. people don't need to ask.. "how you doing" anymore lol.. thanks! I like!
-
Wow! I didn't think you'd add it so soon. And you're making me look bad by saying I'm "harassing" you
-
-
Hey, it's the squeeky wheel that gets oiled, Tim
-
-
Great idea!
-
I think it's cool....it's an addition I have on my site as well.....nothing wrong with a little smiley face next to your name.....let's others know they can approach you and hopefully gain a new friend ~
If you have a grumpy face, people will know to stay away!
Thanks Kevin,
Bear ~ -
Oooh, cool! ((that's probably why I couldn't get on 40 minutes ago, haha))
-
My mood is
Still sad that I can't get to the second page of comments on a poem! -
-
I agree with that, Jeff... I wish we couls still go back durther than just the 1st page of comments, too.
You could always be like Sharcu and harress Kevin about it

ooh i like this
i like this it sounds fun, and should be a good addition to what we have were on ap -
Personally, I doubt I will be using it, seeing as I already have that on both myspace and facebook, and it seems kind of pointless on here. We have our poetry to tell people how we are feeling, not to mention private messages, etc. I truly don't see a need to turn allpoetry into another blog website.
-
I like it too!
How come my motto is not showing up when I look at my own name on the online list? is it showing up for others. Also, I changed the motto twice but the current motto is not showing up on my author page???
Thank you Kevin! -
-
Thanks for pointing this out - it should update the author page after I next update the site, hopefully in the next day or so, sooner if more major bugs show up.
It only shows for your favorites currently, so since you're not on your own favorites list, you won't see it.
-
-
I like it
however its showing below the groups list on the right not the online list
-
-
the groups list is in within the 'online list' section
-
-
No offence...but this is kind of Facebooky (moods) and...what's the point? But I'm sure many people will find a use for it...
-
-
Facebooky? Gobsmacked? Now HOW am I to even start to get used to the queen's English when you keep adding like that!?

*cough* it's a...er...real word...i promise *cough*

It's definitely targeted at the community site aspect of allpoetry, rather than the poetry side specifically. But what makes us a better community makes us read more and appreciate each other more, so it's all connected.
-
-
Yeah, I'm just worried that we'll start going the way of Facebook and every other social networking site, when we have something special
Other than that, I think I should say what a great site this is
-
-
AllPoetry is a Poetic Community. If it was strickly poetry than there would be no commenting on other people's poetry, no contests, no groups, no forums, nothing.... Is that what you want? Poetry is a lot of times emotions which is why moods is important on here. Personally, I care about my friends I have on here and if they set their mood to sad, I'll stop by and ask them about it and read their poetry to see why
--Tim -
-
No, I never said that did I. Don't put words into my mouth.
But good for you, I'm sure they appreciate it. -
-
I'm not putting words into your mouth. I'm simply saying that this is both a poetry site and a community (like myspace or facebook, though it is a poetic community). I was simply asking if thats what you wanted which obviously it isn't.
-
-
Lol
I just don't really like myspace/facebook I guess...and I'd rather see this keep it's unique quality rather than...following the crowd as to features etc if that makes sense. -
-
This site use to be rather boring... back in the day Its really been improved since the better since the start and continues to do so. I only use myspace to send messages to a few of my friends that I don't contact all the time. Anyways, I won't say more as we're crowding up Kevin's column But I understand where you are coming from and I hope you understand where I am coming from. Poetry = Emotions, so moods for a poetry site might be a good idea... Guess we'll see.
-
-
I've only been around for a year and half. I remember when I first joined there was a huge revamp that pissed a lot of people off!
Nah, let's crowd it up some more
