Hinter den Türen des YiffyToys Shops.
Blog postings about improvements we made.
We have changed the selection of toy size categories,
so you can select by price range inside each category right away.
We think this should make it easier for you to find what you are looking for
in our vast selection of toys.
You can still select your own price range to match your budget.
These are just suggestions based on the typical prices of toys in each category.
Contrary to the old one, the new layout also properly flows in mobile devices and narrow browser windows.
It is done!
The last old product photos of the more then 330 toys we have in the YiffyToys shop have been replaced with new ones.
All photos should now show a perfectly white background and no shadows.
All photos are done with the same light setup on the same background.
We just made the German home page of the shop more mobile friendly.
The English one is not updated yet.
What do you think of it? Please tell us!
The category foxes are now displayed below each other on mobile devices instead of rendering the same way as on a desktop.
Formerly the introduction text would take up more then just the first screen,
before the actual categories would be shown.
Since everyone is only interested in toys and lube,
the other categories have moved down.
Also the introduction text has been shortened
This is how it used to look up to this point.
To better find them,
we have added a new category „clearance sale“ for all the products, that are no longer being manufactured or that we will not restock.
We checked the statistics for the most often used search terms in the YiffyToys shop.
After removing an immense amount of failed attempts to hack the shop software via SQL-injection or Javascript-insertion,
we added a large number of synonyms.
Now you will find the results are where looking for when typing a number of common misspellings, synonyms, french or spanish words.
Of cause apart from the full-text search, there is always the advanced search,
where you can select species and features.
Sadly the shop-software doesn’t allow us to have search-ranges for the sizes.
For that we have created the „tiny“, „small“, „regular“, „large“ and „extra large“ categories.
As our categories grow with more and more toys,
we have found the need to subdivide them a bit more.
So as a first step, we have added two new subcategories:
We also enabled „Anchors“ for the „canines“ and „equines“ categories,
so you can filter the long lists of toys to find what you are looking for.
A customer notifed us that the given size of the Twin Tails „Alto“ was that if the „mini“ and not of the „Small“ variant.
We have taken new meassurements and fixed this.
While checking this, we noticed that Twin Tails had raised some and lowered other prices.
We have chosen a very optimistic exchange rate as we adjusted our prices to match.
We also improved some old-style descriptions.
For example, the Mocha and the Atlas now links the two size variants
(Also for the different versions of the Sidewinder „Arashiin“).
Also it seems that the Small Hidora was missing an english translation,
Atlas medium was showing a default photo of an Atlas small in English (it was correct in German).
And while at it, we consolidated the wording for „ejaculating“ in German and English product names.
We have made a number of improvements to the layout of the home page.
Looks like we never got around to translate the decriptions of the size categories.
(So you all know what „tiny“, „mini“, „small“, „regular“, „large“ and „extra large“ mean for us.
We also updated them fron plain HTML text to the new design editor and made them bold, so they stand out more.
We are experimenting with integrating the ActivityPub protocoll (e.g. Mastodon) into the YiffyToys blog.
The integration is even tighter then what we did with Twitter.

We moved to a new instance and things are working now.
