Ah, good to know. i figured it was something like that, but thought i should check first. Not exactly a variety of sex toy im familiar with
We could put some photos in a table to fit in multiple examples? Might be good for Metal (etc): (it scrolls on a mobile screen, just as an FYI to anyone on other devices. Shout out if any of the formatting looks weird for you)

I think one image is enough for each entry, otherwise it could get too clutter and overloaded.
I’ve tweaked it a little to mirror the existing single image entry, but with the ‘photo-roll’ swiping in from off-screen. It doesn’t look cluttered on my phone (single image in portrait, double in landscape, triple in faux desktop), but I’ll check it out properly on my laptop and tablet later. What device is everyone else using? (I get very mobile biased with formatting )
Though at some point we should probably agree on how big an image we want for each entry. The ones we started with inherited their size from the copy and paste, so we can go smaller than full-screen (on mobile) if we think it’d look nicer. Too small may ruin the desktop view though, so that’s something to check (and as they’re currently used as product links they don’t open in the lightviewer pop-out).
No rush to decide on photos though, I’m just throwing some ideas around. We don’t need a firm decision until after most of the entries are decided, and the descriptions edited.
Ion tablet i. Getting 1 1/2 in portrait, 2 1/4 in landscape
I think including more examples of items could be good for some entries (different Rabbit shapes, nipple clamps, toy materials), though I appreciate that it also has to look good. If there was some way to get more examples in and have them look neat and proportionate then that would be great. It doesn’t have to be for every entry though.
I think I prefer the rolling grid to have a portion of the next photo visible so you can tell it’s a scrolling bar. On my phone the one above only shows the first photo, and then you have to know to scroll, so it doesn’t seem that intuitive (though looks crisp).
Perhaps it’d be good to check out what a single photo looks like on different devices. Does everybody like the big photos that are in place at the minute? There are a couple of formats depending on if they’ve been updated yet or not. Can anyone tell the difference?
The super large one i have just been jamming in are i think too big. Wasnt sure what to adjust them to so just stuck the image in for future editing.
I prefer the offwhite background od them though as it makes it easier to see.
The size you used for the anal douche entry is nice.
On my phone they all auto-shrink to around 300x400 (full screen width) if they’re larger so I went with that. The ones inherited from the guide are all straight photo links and not embedded images though, so they may behave a bit weirdly on different devices. I think embedding the images is the way to go (like the Douche one, and the others we use around the site), though I am more mindful of how the glossary looks on all devices compared to something more ephemeral like the dotd posts - so I’m open-minded. I definitely need to jump on the laptop and check out what the desktop version looks like.
If we like the 300x400 size I can start swopping a few out as I go.
I don’t want to overload the entries with too much code at this point, as I think it can be quite off-putting for some people if they just want to edit the description text. So I’m going to save the More Info and navigation stuff until we’re a bit further in so as not to scare people off.
I had a noodle with the description while I was playing with the formatting, but I wouldn’t say it’s the final draft. Feel free to give it a polish.
Will have a shufty when i get some time.
No worries. I just didn’t want you to think that it was finished finished.
@Silkyhat I’ve copied and pasted a couple of your edits from ‘Whip’ into ‘Cane’ and ‘Flogger’ (just so you don’t think I’ve straight up deleted them ).
And thank you for joining in. It’s most appreciated.
I’ll cut it and paste it here, out of the way.
Arab Strap
An arab strap is a type of bondage cock ring that includes a strap or tether that can be pulled upon or used as a leash. Designed to emulate harnesses used on mating stallions to instill control, arab straps are usually made from leather with either metal or rubber cock rings. They work in the same way as a cock ring - restricting blood flow and increasing male virility during wear.

@Silkyhat whip entry looks great, I had a bash at it but i dont know enough about them. thanks for doing that as it was worrying me.
@Calie anal dildo entry is super. Nice job
Have updated blank entry. Hope its useful. As before, still a wiki entry you can just press edit and copy the code strait out
I have tidied up the raw text in A and B (so far). Hopefully this will make them a bit easier to navigate if you’re not used to wikis.
When you open one up, each entry inside should look a little like the one below. If you’re just looking to edit the description then aim for the section I’ve highlighted in green.
## Ball Gag

A ball gag has head straps connected to a ball that is inserted into the mouth. The balls are sometimes punctured with air holes to ensure airflow and assist breathing. Ball gags without air holes prevent the wearer from breathing through their mouth. A ball gag is used to instill a sense of submission. Because the wearer can’t talk, the wearer has to become more creative with communication and their partner better at understanding their lover’s requirements during play.

Do we want to seperate the kind of thrusting toy that uses magnets (often called pulsators. Aka the fun factory stronic types) from the concertina mechanical veriety?
Also any siggestions on what image to put for TPE/TPR, there are literally a thousand tpe/tpr toys and they all look diferent. I was thinkig a fleshlight, as theyr the most common?
Maybe describe both under Thrusting to start? The magnet ones may need an extra sentence along the lines of ‘pacemakers! ’
Yeah, definetly. The electro sex section needs the “do not use above waist” warnig too.
I am just shoving images in atm. Any preferences, i noticed you’ve swapped a few i put in the other day out. Would you rather i leave it?
I’ve been looking through the guides for inspiration for these kinds of things. Here’s a link to the new Advice section, and I’ll pop the Chimp Edit below. It’s out of date, but it still sort of works, and I think it has some old ones in that didn’t make the cut.
If you’re unsure on ‘the one’ you could make a shortlist?
