Hidden content + dead links = Frustration
I have checked out a few of the threads regarding hidden content, the "Thanks" button and removing your thanks. I use the "Thanks" button a lot, 1773 times and counting. I understand the reasoning behind hiding the links in order to accumulate "Thanks", I'm sure there are plenty of users out there that enjoy the content and don't bother to click the button.
My problem is this: I use the "Thanks" button as a means of keeping track of posts I have collected content from. Once I have successfully downloaded the file and verified that it works I go back and hit "Thanks". This system works well for me...for the most part. Hidden content has thrown a wrench in the works. Several times I have thanked a post and gotten the link only to find out it is dead. I can't "remove my thanks" to let me know I wasn't successful and if I visit the thread again I will assume that I have already collected said file. Frustrated... |

At the time these links posted they were a live links , we can know that while we check posts , im sorry for your Frustration but hide links is important for some posters
As for un thank or to remove thank , thats not possible for now . Your only solution is to report dead posts/links , a mod will remove it or remove the dead link , if dead post removed you will not see it again when you visit the thread |

1773 times... I bet you use more.
Nothing damages your pushing Thanks anyway. And "reasoning behind hiding the links in order to accumulate "Thanks"" is not just to get Thanks. It also protects links from outsiders and members who do not give a damn about Thanks. The real solution of your problem is... to make/use a tool or a spreadsheet to manage your download because PS does not seem to change the system as you wish. Reporting dead posts as yassar suggested is also a solution in negative way, but helps others too.

I'll take that bet. I'm adamant about using the Thanks button when I collect files from the board...that's what my whole system is based on. Nothing damages your pushing Thanks anyway. As I said, I click Thanks AFTER downloading the files AND verifying that they work. So, yes, it does damage the system I use when visiting here. 山川智之, I checked out the link to the tool you provided. It looks like you have put a lot of work into that. Kudos to you. However after scanning through 30 posts of directions on how to use it, I couldn't help but wonder why I was looking at charts and numbers instead of boobs. To my dismay, after spending my time not looking at boobs, I didn't see any links on how to acquire the spreadsheet you created. I have to admit, creating something along those lines is WAY over my head. I spend way too much time here already, I'd rather not take up more of my time trying to organize the board. I have been PMing posters when I've found their links to be dead. I'd rather give them the chance to re-up links rather than have them end up in the dead links graveyard. So far those efforts have been in vain. What purpose does the Dead Links section of the forum serve anyway? "Here's some content you could have gotten if you had been here sooner. Sorry, you can't get it now but enjoy these few thumbnails." Seems rather pointless to me... |

I do share your pain. On Friday I bought a DF Gold membership, merrily went along adding links to the DF Downloader (which is crap) and thanked each one as it showed as live.
The downloader stopped almost every one at 96%. I now have some 50 thanked posts that I do not have the working downloads for Quote:

To point out a few of the failings: If the same scene is posted twice in different compilations you get it more than once. If the originally thanked post is removed due to hoster failure, you don't know you have already had it either. If the same scene has more than one star and is posted by different posters in each stars thread, you may download twice. Regarding your specific variation on the problem, my solution is as follows: If I click a link and it is dead (other than have the moderator privilege of removing the post) I search PlanetSuzy for that scene to see if it is live on another host, failing that I do a full websearch. I suggest that if you do thank a post that has a dead link, you report it in the relevant section's dead link thread (as you are still a Junior Member in PATM you will have to use the "report post" button.) Keep a word document or spreadsheet with the details of the posts you have thanked with dead links in and then check to see if it has been fixed or removed. It may also be sensible to keep the PMs you send regarding dead links in a separate folder in you messages, so that you can check back from there. When POMO becomes publicly available then this problem may go away. Until then you may just have to accept that you will download some things more than once, and others never. Growing up in a time when the internet was still a twinkle in DARPA's eye, I still appreciate the fact that this miracle of technology still gives me stuff for free that I couldn't have even bought legally 25 years ago. Just have to accept that it is not perfect, but it is -unless you by a premium account- FREE! |
