Dear staff members, maybe this note of mine is out of context and perhaps it's also because I feel in duty of deep gratitude with Briana Banks that I address here pointing out this singular, bizarre fact that happened: at the beginning of the current month she was classified #3 on the Top Ranked Babes page, (not forgetting she had more than 80,000 votes), after the renewal of the site she's stably above the 400 position ... with just over 29,000 votes.
I'm sure there was a mistake in this particular moment, no one is to blame for, and I'm sure you will take this note into consideration, for her glorious history and of all this world that she represents,. I know that she always had the utmost consideration for FreeOnes and I think it's right to point this out.
Wish the Queen long live ... thank you!
P.S. Petra, try not to work too much please ... then about those who don't want to understand anything, as the saying goes, don't insist on beating a dead horse
With the new site, we were able to radically change the rankings so the same babes aren't sitting at the same positions all the time. It gets shaken up a lot more.
The overall rating has taken a huge back seat in the formula in preference of ratings over a more current period. This is much more fair to newer talent than a babe who's been sitting there collecting votes since 2001.
Additionally, followers (i.e. favorites) are now calculated into the mix and like rating, a babe can have 1 million followers but if she got the all in 2001 that's not going to count as much as if she got a recent influx.
And of course content is now added in. A babe who is still shooting and is getting us fresh new content will do much better than someone who barely shoots anymore at all. This is why you're seeing Crystal Rush, Leilani Lei, and even Paige Owens who has a rating of 4 in the top 25 vs. Briana Banks, Lisa Ann, Ava Addams etc.
Hi!
Congrats on the new site, sounds like it's been a f*king MASSIVE job and its certainly faster and looks like it'll have the flexibility to keep improving, so: kudos!
Just finishing reading this thread, some +1s, questions, and comments:
- Search: IMO the predictive autocomplete search feature at the top was maybe the best thing about FO; especially given how smoothly the search bar adapted to different focus (babes, board, etc). It seems like the babes search is pretty strong in the new site but the board/forum seems to have seriously suffered: no search link at the top, stuck in the corner, and unfortunately beholden to Xenforo's rules. Would it be possible to add a tooltip or something to explain how to use it better, e.g. how one had to learn to use "AND" etc? Does quotes mean 'include all terms' or 'terms in this order'? E.g. I was fixing to look up "glasses 69" but can't have 69. "rae playboy" ditto can't have Rae.
- Search continued: surprising lack of hits for things like "brooke photodromm" which I'm kinda skeptical about. Feels like something that would autocomplete in a flash on the old board search. Again I'm hopeful that the flexibility will allow y'all to beef up the search power.
- "Video links have the little video icon in front of the link URL" (Petra) - good to know, cheers. WOuld still be great to be able to filter FOR photos. Petra said "Unfortunately on the old site we only tagged a link as video. So we don't have a way to filter on only photo links atm as it was either video or not video.". But on the old site you COULD filter FOR photos so why is this different? Probably I'm just misunderstanding but hopefully it can be implemented. Reckon I got 99% of my credits from tagging videos as "not photo"!
- Filtering: looking good, again hope it'll continue to grow. Ability to filter for AND against would be great, for all elements where it makes sense. Filtering out certain providers would be great (e.g. those where a gallery page is always a full page ad, or a list of videos with the relevant link lost in the midst). Ability to save these preferences in one's profile would be a boon.
- Autologin: never worked with lastpass on the old site, not sure how well it's working now but I've not tested it exhaustively so i'll hold off on a full comment there. One thing is I believe lastpass & possibly other similar password managers struggle with flash field entries. Potentially could have a teeny username password box in classic html right at the bottom that nobody would notice but would autopopulate? Probably a crap idea!
- Save layout preferences, e.g. 96 per page. Would be nice. Ditto other prefs, pics only, jump straight to a specific tab.
- 'Automate' mentioned about the compactness: +1 for that. IDK much about writing websites but if it does turn out that the new codebase allows you more flexibility, then being able to have it all tight & small like the old site would be great - database view.
- Link profile pages to forum pages, another way to reintegrate the forum. IDK how true this is but it FEELS like FO has a pretty big community, or at least a semi loyal/old/grouchy one (!) - it'd be nice to try to keep it alive & healthy IMO.
Overall though: congrats on the rollout, the hard work is over!

Hi Admins,
I slowly get used to the new look and feel and really appreciate the effort you put in here.
Now I have a question regarding the relevance settings of the search:
When searching for Lara Fox the results show Lara Foxxx more relevant than Lara Fox.
Why tough? I can't see anything that makes Lara Foxxx more relevant to the search query...
Thanks and keep up the good work, site is getting better than before...

Ah, I thought you were talking about the search suggest on the site and not the board. This, unfortunately, is the xenforo design and as you use it more you get used to it. I actually am starting to like it. I think you probably need to google xenforo, maybe someone has talked a bit about it.
We ARE working on adding an "advanced search" plugin which will hopefully add more relevance to board searches. Bastards made it so you had to buy it.
- Search continued: surprising lack of hits for things like "brooke photodromm" which I'm kinda skeptical about. Feels like something that would autocomplete in a flash on the old board search. Again I'm hopeful that the flexibility will allow y'all to beef up the search power.
I assume you're still talking about the board? Again, lets see what happens when we get the advanced search plugin up and running. If we're talking about the FreeOnes site, we're starting with updating the search suggest layout first to see if we can make something that's more usable.
- "Video links have the little video icon in front of the link URL" (Petra) - good to know, cheers. WOuld still be great to be able to filter FOR photos. Petra said "Unfortunately on the old site we only tagged a link as video. So we don't have a way to filter on only photo links atm as it was either video or not video.". But on the old site you COULD filter FOR photos so why is this different? Probably I'm just misunderstanding but hopefully it can be implemented. Reckon I got 99% of my credits from tagging videos as "not photo"!
So yes, we had a button on the links for photos. But those aren't truly all photo links. What they are really is "not video links". So in "photo links" you also get cam, social, imbd, etc and so on links in addition to photos.
One thing we did do is added "types" to the links at some point. So we know if it's a cam link or an interview link etc but wasn't part of the "video yes/no" part so we have to do some magic to make it all the same thing behind the scenes and THEN once we have it all properly sorted we can add everything that doesn't have a type as "photo".
You've probably seen we have most of these in the "type" filter now. So that is the last step which is being planned very soon (I hate having to choose what has higher priority since I wanted it all yesterday!).
- Filtering: looking good, again hope it'll continue to grow. Ability to filter for AND against would be great, for all elements where it makes sense. Filtering out certain providers would be great (e.g. those where a gallery page is always a full page ad, or a list of videos with the relevant link lost in the midst). Ability to save these preferences in one's profile would be a boon.
I have a feeling the filters will always be tinkered with. Getting them to do AND/OR is on the list.
You CAN save your filtered searches already. ;-) Choose the filters you want and then click the save button that appears.
- Autologin: never worked with lastpass on the old site, not sure how well it's working now but I've not tested it exhaustively so i'll hold off on a full comment there. One thing is I believe lastpass & possibly other similar password managers struggle with flash field entries. Potentially could have a teeny username password box in classic html right at the bottom that nobody would notice but would autopopulate? Probably a crap idea!
I don't want to talk about this. Seriously, I can spend hours ranting. If you really want to know hit me up in a PM so I don't take up everyone's time with a mad woman's soapbox about her love/hate relationship with lastpass, auto login and forms.
- Save layout preferences, e.g. 96 per page. Would be nice. Ditto other prefs, pics only, jump straight to a specific tab.
Being worked on as we type this is saving your preference on row/grid, menu in or out, filters in or out (we already have this for theme color). Immediately we'll make it save as a cookie for everyone. Then the next step immediately after is to auto save the preference to your profile if you're logged in.
I don't know how easy it is to save the page you were on. Lets do baby steps here before the frontender plans how to best kill me.
- 'Automate' mentioned about the compactness: +1 for that. IDK much about writing websites but if it does turn out that the new codebase allows you more flexibility, then being able to have it all tight & small like the old site would be great - database view.
We're working on reducing some of the space right now. I just saw a proof for mobile and it's starting to look a lot better. I'm not quite sure what we're going to do with desktop yet. There's a story why it is the way it is, maybe I'll write about it someday (been thinking about starting a "project manager's diary). But, due to the feedback we already fixed the massiveness of the site on 24 inch screens. Hopefully you'll start seeing little tweaks regularly.
- Link profile pages to forum pages, another way to reintegrate the forum. IDK how true this is but it FEELS like FO has a pretty big community, or at least a semi loyal/old/grouchy one (!) - it'd be nice to try to keep it alive & healthy IMO.
We're currently trying to work out how to best do this. Unfortunately some things got pushed in front of it but the 1st step is getting people's usernames on the comments linked to their board profile. 2nd step is to figure out the next step in integrating the board and site profile to make it more 1 site.
Overall though: congrats on the rollout, the hard work is over! It's NEVER Over
Cheers!
Trust me, this is loads more relevant than it was 2 months ago. In fact, compared to how it was before it's the most relevant search out there.
The work isn't over, obviously. I have no ETA on when the next step will happen since I have a number of things I need to have done first. But it will be before summer is out if you can possibly look past the slight irrelevance going on.

It's on the list. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as people think it is and will take some refactoring of that feature. It's on the list but won't be happening immediately. You can, however, sort by name (alphabetical).
Bookmarks will not be making a come back as you can bookmark a page in your browser these days. That feature was created before browser bookmarks were a thing.

Thanks so much for this clear explanation, now I understand perfectly, right now I'll have to abandon the mental mechanism to which I had become accustomed because the immutable fixity can no longer exist today, in real time.
This formula, the new perspective of the ranking that you have introduced, compared to the past it's a radical change that I understand, is more correct than before and in my opinion all the variables but also the surprises of new talent can make everything more attractive and intriguing.
Thank you again, for all that you are doing and for your kindness, Staff and Petra in particular, it was nice to have the opportunity to write to you these few lines in this period. My best regards!

Hey dude Sorry about what I said.
Well with Fuskator, the Femjoy and Met-Art webmasters put up sample galleries so you should be all right there. Babepedia is still okay unless you get http 404 page removed errors. PicHunter, FoxHQ, Co-Ed Cherry, NovoPorn, and Pornpics - you should really look at.
But with ImageFap (I hope it's not blocked here) Webmasters have been issuing c & d letters constantly over there for years depending what is up there on a model. Yes, it could very well be stolen content. Just be careful as to what you're uploading (I imagine you're going to be a member there) as well as to what you're viewing and taking from that site as saved images to your harddrives.

it's ok no hard feelings but i never save photos directly to my hard drive i use a sandisk usb to save all my photos on i have maybe 2 or 3 pictures on my computer and they are only video game maps and i also never upload any photos to any website because i don't want no copyright infringements on me lol but the main site i use is Vipergirls
Yeah, but who wants dirty bookmarks on your browser for family to see accidentally some day?
Please rethink it.I’m good with change, but I’d like to know how to do the same browsing I used to do. My two main workflows in the old interface were:
1.Advanced search based on multiple criteria - demographics, measurements, categories. It would return a list of babes I could then explore.
2. Once I’m looking at a particular babe, being able to narrow her links to a specific category. For ladies who had a lot of links, if I wanted to see some of their less common category work, I’d often click on a common category that popped up on the first page, and then edit the category in the URL to reflect the harder-to-find one
What are the best ways to do these in the new interface?

Ok, so there are now filters on all the index pages. So essentially there's an "advanced search" on the babes, photos, videos and links pages. (plus we're updating the search page to be more form like but that will still take a week or two to implement).
1. Go to https://www.freeones.com/babes
2. On the right hand side, there's filters. Scroll down and pick the filters you want to see the babe result from.
3. Profit
FYI, if you're logged in, the second you filter something the "save" button shows up so you can save that exact query. Find it in "saved searches" in your collections in the menu.
Now you want to narrow down something on a babe's profile.
You need to select a tab in her section (photos, videos or links) and then you can narrow it down even more with the filters on those pages.
If the filter isn't open on the page you choose, click this icon to open it:
Hope that helps you get where you need to go. ;-)
Sorry FreeOnes, like most everyone else who has commented here, I do not care for the new changes either. The site was just fine the way it used to be. I have found that 95% of changes (of whatever it is) to be more negative than positive.
i couldn't agree with you more people always wanna try and fix shit that isn't broken and almost always makes it worse
Hi again Petra, cheers for the replies. Thoughts about a few of em,
Fair enough though it would be nice if there was a popup tooltip or something on the FO site since folks aren't gonna know what powers the search/board functionality intuitively. Especially since search is one of the most important features of what is somewhat a database site. No shade here, just a suggestion.
Great news, sounds like there's a lot more good stuff to come.
Doesn't activate for number of links per page or sort order I believe? I guess it only activated by right-hand-panel options?
Gave me a good laugh. Same love/hate with lastpass. Hugely useful core functionality. Shambles of a company in terms of getting that to work. I used to pay for the full version and realised all it did was give me financial justification for being angry at how often their product fell over. Now I use the free version and when it fails I just get to swear at the screen and work around it!
Re: links to forum stuff: I figure one hopefully-not-impossible avenue would be to incorporate board searches as an option in the main search dropdown. Might be cool to be able to multi-select those dropdowns too, but this is running before walking.
One more thing about searches, though unfortunately I forget who it was for the example, but I did a board search today for someone, FIRSTNAME SURNAME no quotes, and her specific board thread was the last link on the page, after various links with her name within posts on other threads. I feel like I've seen you mention search rank algorithm tweaks already so no worries if this has already been covered, but if not - I figure presence of search terms in thread titles should outrank presence in posts within threads which don't have those terms in the titles.
Cheers again!
