Scene tag

This improvement to Algobox is something that many of you have been waiting for! You now have more power to select the type of scenes that you will see in your search results and in the Highlighted Scenes. Here's how it works:

If you access Algobox through a standard Internet browser, such as Internet Explorer or Chrome, then at the top of the main page, you will see a link labeled "Settings". When you click on that link, you will be taken to the Settings page.

If you access Algobox through Algodoo (the program in your computer that you launch in order to download and upload scenes) then you must click on the Algobox icon at the left side of the screen, and then click on "My Scenes". You will then see the "Settings" link on the left side of the page. When you click on that link, you will be taken to the Settings page.

The Settings page allows you to select and adjust a few personal properties such as your Time Zone, Language, and the ability to change your password. There is also a list of "Groups" that gives you the ability to hide one or more groups of scenes that you have no interest in seeing. For example, you would select (highlight) the group labeled "Bug reports" if you do not want to have scenes in that group display along with all of the other displayed scenes. On the other hand, if Bug Reports scenes are the only scenes that you are interested in, then you can highlight every group in the list EXCEPT for Bug Reports, and then those are the only scenes you will see!

We have created two new groups after receiving suggestions from many users. One is called "Marble & Athlons & BFDI & Camps", and the other is called "Technical". The "Marble..." group is mostly for the younger users who enjoy posting and downloading those type of scenes, and the "Technical" group is mostly for the advanced users who enjoy posting and downloading complex scenes and/or scenes that were made using Thyme script programming.

Remember - when you select (highlight) one or more groups and then click on the "Confirm" button, scenes that are in those groups will NOT be displayed. If you are interested in a particular type of group (Technical, for example) then make sure to place the scenes that you upload in that particular group. You cannot select a group if you upload your scenes from Algodoo. You can only select a group if you upload your scenes through a standard Internet browser.

If you have any questions about this, please contact me by writing a comment on this scene description page, and I will usually reply to it within a few hours.

Thanks,

Xray (Algodoo Admin)

NICE!
YES!!!!!!!!!! Finally something to resolve the problems with Algobox!:D
@Xray

You Mean The D Word?I Didn't Know That Was Bad...
Sorry!:(
One problem: The settings do not effect the NEW page. I selected to not see bfdi/marblerace/whateverthons, But when i clicked new, I still got BFDI, Marbleraces, and whateverthons. >:(
Also when i selected all but technical, I only got 2 scenes >:(
I be honest though, I want most of my scenes on the technical group. Sorry about not editing comments; Im using algobox built in browser in algodoo, And cant exactly figure out how to make a working forumn account. Wich is also why i put suggestions n' stuff in scenes insted of forumn posts.
I am the critic of the algobox now, I guess, Lol.
MoBuilds - The new system isn't perfect, and so you will still see some marble race scenes and other childish scenes if the users did not select the correct group when the scenes were uploaded. Concerning the Technical group, that is a brand new one, and so there aren't many scenes posted in that group yet. When I have the time, I am going to transfer many of my own scenes into the Technical group.

Concerning the Algodoo forum, I don't know why you have so much trouble with it. Registering is simple, and you can use the same user name that you use on Algodoo, or you can use a different user name. It's of course best to use the same name so that people will know who you are if you've been active on Algobox.

If you want to try to register again, just let me know what problem you are having, and either I will figure it out for you, or I will pass it on to someone else for help.
Yeah, so I put a few scenes in the "Technical" group. They are not all technical, but at least they are not MRs.
Wow.... Just amazing.... You may think I'm being sarcastic but I'm not....












It's the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life XD.
congratulations xray i finnaly im starting to like you
If you guys looked over Technical groups by hiding all but Technical, you can see s_noonan took the opportunity to seize it by editing his scenes group.
Now, that problem is solved, what about that really dusty featured/rank/comment/download section?
Oh My Lord! So many downloads and ratings XD. Also, how was this uploaded on July 14th 2016 XD.
I went forward in time, uploaded the scene, and then went back to the time frame I came from. Why?
Praise jesus.
Could a filter also move anything with "algosomethingathon" and "~whatever~ camp" in the description and or title into the category? And perhaps create a way for users to tag scenes as camps and races? Thanks, it's nice seeing some scenes that deserve attention.

Some Cool Improvements right there! It took a Century that a new Update will come out. Good Job!:coolgrin:
I highlighted the Camps Marble races group and half the scenes that were originally on the new page dissapeared.
WOOH

Maybe it will finally be worth browsing!
Can we still make camps on this?:s
1001535 downloads! WOW:o
Are you from the future? cause it says fourteenth of July, when it is only the sixth!
It means no more marbles and BDFI & Camps?
Pootis-Man -- I'm not sure what you are saying, but if you believe that we are eliminating marbles, algicathlons, and camps, NO we are not! The group filters allow a person to select groups that they have no interest in, and so they will not see those kinds of scenes on the Algobox pages of displayed scenes. That's all! So, for example, if you select "technical" group in "Settings", then you will no longer see any scenes that were placed into the Technical group.
But how can i see every single comment of a Scene?
1 million downloads, 836 views.............................................­..




Seems legit..
OKAY it appears as if it has fixed itself now.
The only complaint i have now is that its too easy to accidentally click "Log Out" instead of "Settings"
Just take careful aim, try not to shake, and squeeze the trigger nice and slowly. That's what my dad told me when he taught me how to shoot a gun. ;)

How?
