Fleshbot: Now With More Better!

Fleshbot: Now With More Better!Sharp-eyed readers may have noticed that something seems different about Fleshbot today. No, there’s nothing wrong with your eyes: we’ve just launched our quarterly redesign (or as we like to think of it, style upgrade). So what’s different?

More ways to interact: It used to be that if you wanted to say something on the site, you had to just leave a comment on a specific post—even if what you wanted to say wasn’t directly related to the post at hand. Well, no more! Thanks to the Fleshbot Open Forums, you—yes, you—have more control over the conversations that happen on Fleshbot. With the help of the handy dandy new comment box—and some Twitter-style hashtags—you now have the ability to say what you want, where you want, when you want. For example:

Say you’ve found a hot new picture of Kate Moss’s nipples that you’re just dying to share with us. Click that box that says “Found some flesh?” (which appears on the front page and tag pages), upload your photo, and put #celebrityskin in the text. Voila! You’ve just submitted content to the site—and it’ll appear at fleshbot.com/tag/celebrityskin. Got some hot amateur pictures? Submit them with the tag #amateur. Got a general tip? That goes to #tips, my friend.

But wait: you say you want to have a chat? Just send your discussion to #forums, and talk away to your heart’s content.

And, of course, you can always comment the old fashioned way. In fact, it’s now easier to keep track of those discussions: when you’re logged in, you’ll receive an alert when someone responds to your comments.

So that’s pretty much it. Questions? Comments? Just leave them in the comments on this post (or, if you prefer, come up with some clever hashtag to submit them with). And as always, please be advised that there will be some bugs for a while as we work out the kinks (the bad ones, that is).

    Just like the last change, I think I like it, it’s just going to take some getting used to. But all the old features seem to still be here, and new ones have been added. #internal

  • Lux Alptraum

    Another use: you can submit your suggestions for gratuitous nude photos to #gratuitousnude–if we like your pick, we might even promote it to the front page! #internal

  • Brian47

    It all makes me want to contribute even more! Good job, Lux and everyone! :) #internal

    shucks. i thought “#internal” meant something else!

  • thePrototype

    The new layout is great, and the notifications are even better! One thing that isn’t so good is I lost my star :( #internal

  • Ruthless if you let me

    Oh man, I do like the new layout. I am excited to see what the tips bring in that get promoted. It’ll be like crowd-sourced Fleshbot.

    The only bad part was losing my Gawker-wide star. I got it back on io9, but I miss it here too. #internal

    After loading more posts, the Back button “forgets” the loaded posts, so one has to click “load more posts” again. #internal

    Is there any way to show the “Extended” versions of the articles like you could before? I really like being able to read a paragraph or two without having to click on every link…
