Merging characters into tabs

Posted 6 years, 9 months ago by ElithianFox

Let me start off by saying I love the new tab feature! From the forums it looks like there's still some bugs to be ironed out, but it's a great feature altogether.

The addition of this feature got me to question if it was possible to merge different AU versions of the same character made before the feature was introduced with the regular character, and turn that old AU character in a tab without losing faves and links. For example, I have my character Garry and then I have his modern human AU as a separate character; is it possible to turn that separate AU character into a tab of the regular without having to remake that tab and losing faves and links?

I understand that this is a very niche suggestion that is only applicable now that the update is here and probably wouldn't be used as much in the future, so if it would take too much resources it's no issue at all just having to remake the tabs! <:

I actually came here to ask about the same thing! It's not a huge problem but I do have a couple characters with full separate, complete pages for their AUs, and I was wondering if there was some way to request them to be linked in as subcharacters, even if just manually by submitting a ticket. (Conversely I was curious if there might be a way to decouple them at some point in the future, if a user wanted to.)

Oh gosh yes I was wondering the same thing!! 6__9 I used to upload images for different forms of each character on seperate character listings, and there's a certain character I want to "combine" because,,, I'm gonna have to manually tag the new tabs onto 300+ images on the other listings and that makes me wince

I was wondering that too. Would be great if they would add this option :D

I also would really like this! It'd be good for all of us who have so many character variations already @ 3 @

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is one of the few things I can say 100% will not be added. I'm sorry for the trouble. : (

That's okay, I had a suspicion it would be a little too niche. Thanks for confirming, Minsu!

Waltz

Agreed, thank you for letting us know!

I was thinking of suggesting this too! I'm glad someone else already did.

Definitely a needed feature when you have alternate forms of a character
