No date on videos anymore?

Aerowen

I don't mind the "X duration ago" on the thumbnail list pages and can understand that's actually more useful for a quick check of how old a scene is. But the actual release date should be included on the scene page for sure. Like some others have already mentioned as well, I too change the filename to something like Studioname.YY.MM.DD.etc... for better file organisation and sorting.

I suggest this solution, only on the scene page itself just show both as there's plenty of room: pun intended kek

This change should be very minimal as the datetime is already added in the code here anyway.
Thankfully because it's an actual time element (thx webdev) I had immediately changed it like this for myself with my userscript but most people won't be able to do that. So I agree with everybody here it should be visible on the scene page at least.

Aerowen Can you upload the script to one of the "userstyle" websites, so other users can import it with Stylus or another solution like that?

Please bring date back. I use date to rename downloaded files by performer so that I can watch video for any specific performer in chronological order. It's fun to see how the performer ages and improves.

Count me in the group that would really like to see the release date in the video details. I think I have found a work around, though. If you google search the exact title, the hit that links to the scene on SLR usually includes the date the post was made.

jonsinvr thats the date the page was first indexed by the search engine... not necessarily the actual release date

This topic and discussion remind me of the new Twitter... one person wants it the new way, even if employees and customers don't like it.

I think they want it this way because if a video is 1 year 364 days old they can still say it's a year old. It makes everything sound newer.

I would like the date back as well

I've been away for a bit so late reply, sad to see SLR has still not changed their ways so I added a tiny script that adds the full release date on greasyfork here. Sadly because it is intended for an adult website it seems you need to login to be able to see it there. 😧 So here's also a pastebin link, this doesn't have the easy install button though.

Stylus is only for CSS and this requires a bit of javascript so you'd need a userscript extension like tampermonkey, greasemonkey, etc. Some links to those for most browsers are on the frontpage of greasyfork.

Also I should add that it only shows the "SLR release date", which is often not exactly the same as the studio release date (if they also have their own website). Sometimes it's off by a few days, sometimes weeks.

My (maybe) "unpopular" opinion on this would be, Websites delete the release date could do this to hide the amount of new releases per month. Ok at the moment there are quite a lot but as we could see some of the big Studios are leaving from time to time. Maybe i´m wrong but these are my thoughts on this.
Wet VR for example ist shifting the release date always around to make it seem the last VR scene is just 2 weeks ago to have the 2 VR scenes per month timeline and from the 3rd VR scene backwards they remove the dates.

I also would like to have the scene release date back on SLR but there has been a reason to hide this feature now, maybe a little reduced vr contend in the future.

Aerowen should do one for the download limit too.. it can be done

Aerowen

spacepirate If you mean to "remove the limit" then no, from what I've seen that's entirely server-side and even if it was possible it would no doubt be easily detected and surely a quick way to get your account banned or something like that.

Sadly we can only hope SLR guys will change their views on that issue but that's been debated to death in another topic already. I have little faith left that it will improve tho. 🙁

I have been thinking of adding a 30-downloads countdown overview to keep track of when exactly you can download again because that's a bit of a pain to remember right now. But there are some weird behaviours on when timers actually expire so it wouldn't be completely accurate, might still be useful though.

Aerowen i meant to show timer
