I know you're having problems generating link codes but seriously I've been waiting almost 5 hrs for a link. Is there an ETA on when this will be fixed or should I find another way to get this video to the customer?

Hi PrincessLavender, we're very sorry about the delayed link generation overnight. It seems that the servers weren't scaling up to demand like they were supposed to. All links have been generated now. Michael's nearly finished rewriting the link generation system and the new code should be online today or tomorrow, so it should be more robust after that.

We'll look at adding categories to albums, and it's good to know that several people want different options for displaying their profile pages. We'll make it happen.

Gave the link out. Allowed 1 download. Checked today and it says he downloaded 2/1 times. Whats the point of giving an allowance if they still can download it? Or maybe he tried twice?

Hi PlayfulDesire,

We've just looked into this, and found a bug where the Download link works for five minutes after first being downloaded. (It was a consequence of an early design decision that it seems we didn't change when we thought we did.) So, a person can appear to have downloaded the link twice if, for example, they double-click the link rather than just single-clicking it. But it doesn't allow downloading after the five minutes have elapsed: as you'll see if you try to visit the link URL you'll have provided your customer (or if you visit one of Sabihah's (https://www.projectmaenad.com/links/3047750986)), there is no download link available if you visit a link with too many downloads.

Sorry about this! We'll fix it so it doesn't allow a five-minute grace window (though we might allow that as an option in the future, if models want to allow it).

I have had issues updating links. Sometimes a custie attempts to download it on a phone or a device that can't handle the download and it counts it as one download anyway. I'm fine with that, but when I go in to change it to allow 2 downloads it shows 2/2 downloads used immediately. I ended up having to make a new link for him. Is this is a known issue? Thanks =)

P.S. LOVE YOUR SITE!

Hi DiamondCupcakes,

Thanks for the bug report! Michael's just looked into it and hasn't been able replicate the problem. We suspect that it might have been caused by the customer double-clicking on a link, bumping the count to two within that five-minute window. If that's what caused it, it should stop happening with the site update we have planned for tonight.

Wondering too. Been waiting for a link for about 17 hours now.

Sorry about the problems overnight. All links have generated now, and we're looking into what went wrong. We use a third-party service to scale up servers automatically, but it seems to be unreliable. If we can't be sure of the problem today, we'll find a different solution.

Hey everyone,

After a major release yesterday, links should now be generated much faster, and we have further plans for improving speed. Also, there's no longer any feasible limit on album size - the biggest we've tested was 11GB but the system should be able to handle albums up to about 30GB.

We've also prototyped a grid view for the profile page, as CurvyWinona and PrincessLavender suggested. This isn't intended for actual use yet - we just want to see what you guys think. If you go to your profile page (e.g., https://www.projectmaenad.com/m/MasonTwenty for Sabihah), and add "?grid=true" to the URL (e.g., https://www.projectmaenad.com/m/MasonTwenty?grid=true for Sabihah), then you'll see the prototype. You'll see that albums are displayed in a grid of four across. Clicking an album will show greater detail about that album.

Please let us know what you think! If you like it, we'll add an option to have it displayed like that by default.

PrincessLavender

That looks much better! I love it! Only problem I see (which isn't really that much of a problem) is that there is only room for one line of text for the album name. For example, I have an album called "hanging and swinging tits" and in the grid view it just says "hanging and".

LinaTsunami
09-10-2014, 03:55 PM
Thanks PrincessLavender! We've increased the space for album names, and made this an option available to everyone. If you go to Account Details/Update Profile, you'll see a new field called Profile Display Mode, which can be Rows (by default), or Grid. Changing it to grid will enable the new grid layout.

Just wanted to mention that this site is AWESOME and I'm using it constantly. Thanks so much for providing such a good service. And sorry for bombarding your servers with my 500mb custom clips lol

Hi I keep getting this error whenever I go to log in. Sometimes it will let me get past the log in page, but then when I go to click on anything else or to generate a link I get the same error again. It's been like this for me since September. I haven't been camming much so it hasn't been a problem but I am going to be selling a lot of videos soon and would like to be able to continue using your service. If you could please let me know how to resolve this as soon as possible that would be awesome! Thanks!

Hi BrieBrie!

Thanks for the bug report! We were unaware of this problem. We've just checked the logs and unfortunately there's nothing useful there, and it seems to be working right now for us - can you check that it's working for you? And if anyone else has seen the problem, please let us know.

To clarify: does it occur intermittently on any page of the site, or do you know of some way to always cause the error? Also, what browser, and what computer (Apple/PC) are you using?

Thanks!
Lina

Thanks for the reply :) It seems to happen whenever I go to log in. I click log in and then that error pops up. Sometimes it will let me through to the main page but when I click on any of the other pages the error pops up again. It's been like this for me since september. I've tried multiple browsers: Safari, Chrome, Firefox. I use a macbook.

Any update on adding option to buy clips on the site?

Anyone else having the file upload get to about 60% and then it starts over?

LinaTsunami

Hi BrieBrie,

Thanks for the information! We've still been unable to find the problem. Would it be okay if our lead programmer Michael contacted you directly for a quick phone or Skype call, so you can make the error occur while he looks at the logs? He'll contact you through StripperWeb to set up a time, if that's okay. It should just take a few minutes.

Hi Winona,

Sorry payments are taking so long. We regret that we didn't think through the scope of it when we said it'd be a few weeks. The last thing we want to do is take payments and have unreliable or unstable systems for paying out. So it's not looking like it'll happen in October, unfortunately. We do expect it will be in November.

By the way everyone, just this week we added the ability to re-order your albums. A couple of people emailed us asking for that. That's available on the Manage Albums page.

Another recent unannounced improvement, though you might have noticed already, is that links will often generate much faster due to some new caching systems. We have some more ideas for that so there will be more speed improvements soon.

Has else has had any trouble uploading files tonight? We spoke to Bootsie and there was one 2GB file that wouldn't upload, though others worked. It could be a temporary internet connection problem, but if anyone else is experiencing it then it could be something more.

THanks so much for helping me! Something weird was clearly going on with that file, because I saved it as an MP4 instead of a WMV and it was fine. The support on this site is incredible!

I haven't' used PM in a month or so (havent had custom orders lately) but used to today to upload a vid for my custy. Holy cow! The time it took me to upload and make the link was insane. The link was created almost instantly! Whatever improvements were made definitely, I applaud you. I already loved the site as it was but now I'm just blown away. Thanks!

LinaTsunami
11-16-2014, 12:02 AM
You're welcome DiamondCupcakes! We're running on more powerful servers than before, we're running some tasks in parallel where possible, and we're caching a lot of data that we weren't before. The first time you generate a link to an album, it may still take a while, but subsequent links to that album will be faster.

I apologize if I've missed this somewhere, but do we have to upload the videos each time we want to give them out? Maybe that's a silly question... I don't know lol but are we able to upload a file one time and then give out unique links to each person, or do we have to upload it for each unique link?

LinaTsunami
12-24-2014, 04:58 AM
Hi SarahTime,

Sorry for the confusion! The idea is that you upload one or more files to an album, and then you can create as many links to that album as you want. Each link has a unique address, so different customers get different links (which is helpful if you want to limit the number of times they can download it, or limit how long the link is available to them for). To upload files to an album, go to Uploads & Albums/Manage Albums. To create a new link, go to Uploads & Albums/Create Link.

Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions.

I love ProjectMaenad as well! The only thing I wish that I could do is have the ability to move files out of albums and set them aside rather than having to delete them...unless I am doing something wrong?

LinaTsunami
01-12-2015, 05:14 AM
Thank you, everyone! We love to hear we're making things easier for our users :)

When payment processing is ready (still a few weeks at least, we're really sorry), we'll email all our users, and we'll post it in this thread.

LinaTsunami
01-13-2015, 03:39 AM
Hi Hyori, sorry I didn't see your post before. We're actually really close to implementing the ability to move files between albums. It'll very likely be released this week. I'll get Michael to email you when it's done, and I'll update this thread too.

Yo, I lovvvvve the feature that I can put member's name in the clip link info! Very useful feature for any odd clips made for certain members in the future!

Keep up the great work!

Quick question. I had a custy try to download a video and he told me it took a very long time to load the file. After some time his virus checker stopped the download and said it identified the file as malware =/ any reason why that may happen? I know my files are good so I can't imagine why he got that error. I even tried to download it myself and had no issues.

Hey DiamondCupcakes, that's very odd. We haven't had that happen before. I expect it's a false alarm but we'll check it out. Please email the URL of the link to [email protected] Also, if possible, can you find out which anti-virus program your customer is using?

Just wanted to let everyone know that we've added the often-requested feature to move files between albums. Files on the Manage Albums page now have "Move" links underneath, and if you click it you can move the file to a different album.

Has anyone else run into the problem of the videos failing to upload? I emailed support who wrote back and said that they can't figure out what the problem is, but other girls have been reporting the same issue. I feel like I've tried everything. I convert the file into a million different things to try and make it work.. sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I'm getting really frustrated because this is my GO TO place to create links :/

As Ivy described, there is a rare but recurring issue where uploads fail for some users, either occasionally, or in a few cases, routinely. Seven users have reported this since we launched six months ago. It sometimes seems related to geography (one user couldn't get any uploads to work during her trip to Singapore, but it worked on her return to the USA). Sometimes - very strangely - it sometimes seems related to the type of file (two users have found that MP4s don't upload but the same movie encoded as a WMV or MOV does upload, at least sometimes).

It is extremely frustrating for us too. The problem occurs between the user and the cloud storage system we use, never passing through Project Maenad servers at all, which is what makes it hard to track down. We're probably going implement an entirely separate backup uploading system, using a different cloud storage provider, and see if it works when the current system fails. If it works well, we might switch over completely, or otherwise run the two systems at once. Unfortunately, we expect it will be at least two weeks before we can do this, probably longer.

If you've experienced this kind of error, we'd love to hear about it; it might provide more clues that will lead us to the problem. Please email [email protected] with the details, especially your location, what computer and browser you use, and what kind of internet connection you have.
