Three weeks in, extinguished most fires

Hey guys, it's me. What the hell is this craziness?
You just keep spamming my mailbox! Every time a new error occurs, I get an email, and let me tell you I haven't been able to find my saved Ebay searches for the past three weeks. How can you guys not just accept I built the perfect website and stop breaking shit?
On that note, where are all the tags you're supposed to put on videos? I thought I was clear that my tag system is perfect, not confusing, really nice to use and absolutely needs no improvement in user experience whatsoever, so what's the reason for not tagging posts?
Also, stop posting so much! There's over 200 videos still in queue, and we've already accepted over 750 of them! If you're not careful we'll be hitting a thousand videos in the first month.
In the past couple weeks I've taken a bit of a break, fixing only the most major issues and smaller improvements that needed to be done still. For example, marvel at the new subscriptions bar you have on your homepage. Or the small styling changes that make using this already perfect site even better on mobile.
In all seriousness though, the support has been astounding. Thanks to all y'all who have decided some of your salaries should go to a guy who just wrote a commit message with description "I don't know what I'm doing :)".
btw, if anyone has new logo ideas, website design experience, or would like to code in a Sveltekit app, let me know.

If we did a good logo and such you should do a contest for it???? That way it’ll be more people submitting

I appreciate everything you do here. If I were to ask for a single specific thing, it would be to search for any specific tag, and get only videos with that tag in the search results. I know this takes time, and if I am doing this wrong and it is simply user error, please ignore me. If I were going to ask for two specific things, it would be the above first, and second, to be able to leave comments on videos so that we can tell the posters how much we appreciate them (or perhaps ask 'how did you make that fascinating inflatable toy, b/c I'd like to build one, too' :p ). I am so very happy the site is back!! <3

yeah I plan on only uploading 4 videos for now so I have content on my channel at least. can't recover my old videos but fresh new site = fresh new videos! as far as the logo keep the current one as it signifies the unity of the community vinyl/latex im going to be with this site for the long haul

Hmm that's strange, email validation should be working on mobile. Will have to look into that!
Bobby Corbin
Never mind as when I revalidated my email no issue on desktop so I just have to keep in mind that some features may not work that great on mobile for the time being anyway with this being said off to enjoy squeaky content

Um I can’t get passed the resend email verification to link my patreon to my account and I’ve received the emails but don’t have the option to enter the code until this is fixed this patreon is blocked out of the site

I think the old logo staying will help people who still think InflateVids is off from the community will be able to find it. Awesome to hear that there will be an update to the tags so that people have to add tags. Maybe also they have to declare if it's NSFW or not.
AnotherLooner
Oh ye the amount of videos has been very encouraging actually. We've got some new validation coming for the tags that should make moderation a bit easier on us. Glad you like the currently logo!

I like the old logo tbh, keep it as is. As for so many vids being uploaded that is good as people want to use the site. If you want people to use tags, start making it a priority before they hit submit. That way no video will go out without tags.
