I think pushing it onto the uploader might be the wrong way to go about it.
I’ve recently gotten to enjoy just making the scripts, but so far I have 5 or 6 completed scripts waiting to be uploaded, because I honestly just find it kind of a hassle to upload.
The funscript is already uploaded to eroscripts’s servers. Couldn’t it just automatically generate a preview?
The hardest part is to create your first post. Onve you are happy with the result you can just copy it into a new post and replace the title/photo/script and you are done.
Noone here tries to force anything on uploaders, if you don’t want to put heatmaps you don’t have to.
@kinetics thanks, I’ve linked to it in the templates
@Halipa I definitely don’t want the templates to be too cumbersome. A lot of the new topic template isn’t strictly required, though I would guess you’d get a lot more engagement if you do fill most of it out.
I was thinking: maybe it would be easier for new people if the script template was initally filled with all the information, so people would just have to replace it? Like Lenght: 0:00, Link: xxx etc.
You could move all the explanations to howto post with a link on top of the template. It might be confusing for newcomers or people with only a basic computer knowledge to see all this extra text that don’t appear in the preview.
