UPDATE 2 : Sub-Gallery Tab Type


dd2t4o6-0877c824-ea1a-4b6d-82aa-ef09698f

With the new "Sub-Gallery" Tab type thats been slipped in, I'd like to update that this suggestion has been 100% achieved on site, and I'm so grateful, its perfect and I love it ;u;
Thank you TH Staff! Even if they didn't see this suggestion and planned doing it either way, its much appreciated by many who commented below, and we're grateful <3



UPDATE: The new "Flattened" Folders option lets us achieve the nearly the desired effect!!!


This is an idea I've been thinking about a lot, and I tried to make a table/buttons for my characters in the Folder Descriptions before so that I could display them in sections, but it just isn't effective!
I think this would be AMAZING, especially with the new ability to view many many characters per page!!

The suggestion would be, to allow inserting dividers that are semi-customization, within character folders, and galleries!

Here is an example showing how this would be helpful to writers, or RP'ers who have different characters for different environments, all within the same "world" or story.
And yes yes, I know that you can make sub-folders!! But who is going to rifle through tens of sub folders? No one does, they'll just click "View All" so they can glance through everything more efficiently.
Having large sections of characters in one folder is amazing, especially with viewing so many per page now,
but being able to add dividers would make it PERFECT;

Another Usage would be characters you're looking to rehome! Instead of having many individual folders for, SALE, TRADE, SALE OR TRADE, CS, UNIQUE/One Off Designs,
I've seen even, Tier1, Tier2, Tier3, ect. For how attached someone is, or who they'll allow to adopt...
Thats a lot of folders, and then even have "Pending" folder for things you're waiting payment on;
Instead, have Everything you're rehoming in one folder, with dividers!;

(please note that none of these characters are actually up for trade/sale lol)

The Divider titles would have a character limit, and possibly a short description as well. Maybe even a color key option?


They could be used to offer brief explanations of a family unit,
These could be used to organize different species into sections, and the description could link to that species' information,


Another place I'd like to see dividers would be within galleries!!! This would be amazing for shapeshifters, outfit sections, or even dividing the tiny icons/chibis/full art potentially!

Currently, i'm using custom dividers like these for my sona;

because she has SO much art. I thought about putting her different forms into "tabs" on her profile, but those don't feel right because they are out of the way, and most people don't explore tabs. I like having all her art within one gallery, but having better dividers to seperate her shapeshift forms would be amazing!! :D
These could be used for Shapeshift forms, Art Types, Art sizes, design changes, to mark Outdated art/do not reference, Age, outfits, era, ect...!

I love the folders so very much, but I dream of being able to have each of my "worlds" together, in sections, labeled as to what they do or who they are, for the absolute most visually pleasing viewing for myself and others.

Thank you for looking!!!!

+1 I would love this A LOT

(I would submit a ticket but my last one isn't even a week old so that'll have to wait a bit)

tayleaf

Wicked Why would it be a helpdesk ticket issue? I don't understand XD


Kogami Thank you!! :D me too!!

tayleaf

Wicked alright thank you!
I had a suggestion on the forums a while back about letting us view more characters per page and they implemented that shortly afterwards. It may have been purely coincidence though XD 

tayleaf

I meant shortly in reference to the expected time for a change like that haha. It wasn't overnight. I know what you mean! :D I'm peacefully waiting, just happy with the amount of support this has gotten! :3
I'm in no rush! 

tayleaf

Ahhh cool beans!! Thank you so much for the info Wicked!! Like I said, I'm in no rush, so this is exciting news!

Edit: Oh
MY

GOSH

After going to explore the Flattened folder options I can say...this is EXACTLY what i've been wanting!!! Why didn't they announce that they implemented this!? Thank you so much for telling me Wicked!! /gross sobbing 

hedgemaze

Flattened folders are so good!! (Here's an example if anyone needs an idea what they look like-- I'll need to redo those descriptions now)

These updates are great; I'm so happy! I can't wait to see gallery dividers in action, too. Thanks to the admins and to the people suggesting and submitting these ideas!!

VincentVanGoat

Something I didn't know I needed but just changing one setting was a fantastic, noticeable change. All characters listed, and nicely split up? Hell yeah. Even better that the way I set my folders up made the change super smooth. This site is just knocking it out of the park with updates lately.

Kogami

Indiana The feature is already implemented and can be used by all users! All you need to do is check your "Folder" section, edit the folder you want and change its "Folder style" setting to "Flattened (Single page folder)" like the one I screenshotted here! 

(Make sure to sort every sub-folders inside the main folder for the feature to work)
