[READ] Todo List

Posted 9 years, 6 months ago (Edited 6 years, 10 months ago) by lulu

on the todo list in very rough order of priority:

  • Authorization levels - kinda done, but still looking for ways to improve
  • Worlds Overhaul.
  • View Previous Posts / Subscribed Threads / Created Threads
    • Actually probably just a General Forums overhall...
    • Allowing users to delete their own threads.
    • Showing when posts have been edited (+ possible for mods to see original post?)
  • Folder icons and blurbs
  • Species creation
  • Literature submissions/pages for characters
    • Changable privacy levels for the pages possibly
    • "AU" pages
  • Clean up mass image/character management
  • QoL fixes
    • Mass deletion, links to individual edit panels
    • "Next" button when browsing through character pages.
    • "Are You Sure You Want to Delete" pop-up when hitting delete for posts/comments/everything
  • Deleting comments probably needs a confirmation panel...
  • Site search
    • Character search by tag or unverified URL
    • Image search by URL might be useful too, hm
  • Fix thread notifications links to take you to the latest page... Actually I should have it take you directly to the post, I was too lazy when coding this and it's gonna be a pain in the ass to change now
    • Same with thread links on the forum's front page
  • Random character/user link (only for listed and public characters & users)
  • User autocompletion
  • Tag blocking
  • Layout fixing like just in general going around and fixing forms and also checking to see that everything wraps correctly
  • Liking or favving forum posts
  • World tags maybe
    • World galleries
  • Popular world listing on the front page thinks about it... Maybe worlds that've added a lot of members in the past few days? hm...
  • Have a look at a chat... I don't think cloudflare works with websockets so I'll need to have a think about it rubs chin I don't really like the idea of an AJAX chat
  • Image thumbnail / character avatar cropping tool
    • This is half done but I realised it was taking way too long so I've shelved it for later...
  • Drag & drop uploading
  • Bulk image/characters upload
  • Tagging images with multiple characters
    • stares into the distance i'm not looking forward to this
  • Image tagging and specialised/tagged galleries, embedded galleries for character pages
    • stares further into the distance... also not... looking forward to this...
  • Dice rollers on the forums
  • Downloading threads as a PDF/etc... / downloading character profiles?
  • Custom Post Formatting
  • Delete images from image manager
  • Character link sorting/deleting
    • Editable icons seperate from the character icons?
  • More user options including # of charas displayed on a page.

Feature fixes / comments

  • Watermarked thumbnails needs to be looked at, I'm not really happy with it atm.. 
  • Commission a logo artist for a clean logo 
  • I should just outsource the front end to a proper front end developer
  • Fix how images teleport when you try to drag one that's at the end of the row

Features I'm thinking about and welcome suggestions for:

  • Anonymous comments (if I do throw this in you're still certainly going to have to be logged in so the recipient can report malicious content if necessary)
  • Allowing for fandom/canon characters 
  • World chats - just mulling it over right now...

This has probably been mentioned before, but I think it'd be really nice to be able to search up certain keywords in the trade forums, so it's easier to filter out the threads you're not really interested in! 

I'd also think it'd be nice if we could subscribe to a tag in the forums so that whenever someone posts a thread with that specific word, you'll receive a notification. For example, if I subscribe to a tag that's the name of a closed species, any new thread that is made afterwards with the name of that species either in the title or their post will give me a notification.

Thank you for all of your hard work!

The "suggest an artist" feature is a great idea! Not sure what shape it will take but we'll try and add into the code update.

Krawark
We will look into it!

A delete account feature is in the recode! Change username feature will be added, but the specifics and limitations haven't been finalized yet.

I think the current opinion of the mod team right now is that we want to offer mild NSFW tags as an option, but it isn't something we will be heavily moderating. We're still talking about this topic and how to deal with it right now. Basically, we'd like to support and offer tools to people to control their feeds and what they see, but at the same time the current way is really cumbersome for users and mods.

In short, not sure, but still thinking of ways to deal with the topic.

An update/overhaul of the trading system is def. on the table. Unfortunately, probably not in the imminent future. Sorry for the trouble. : (

Forum organization is something we're talking about too! I'm not sure it will take the shape of a tagging system beacuse personally, I think it might be solvable with better forum organization (subforms, nesting, more forums, etc) and better user-forum tools (IE. past posts, created threads, subscribed thread feed), but we'll take forum tagging into consideration too.

I would really love to see some more levels to the blocking system! It would be rad to have some kind of "softblocking" feature where you can block people's posts but they can still post in your threads, ping you, don't get a message that they're blocked, etc.; basically a milder version of blocking to allow you some peace of mind! Like, I run a lot of forum games and other threads, so if I ever block someone then they'd suddenly be unable to post in any of those threads and it'd be immediately obvious that I blocked them. Aside from not wanting that to be so blatant so as not to prompt any vagueing or drama on- or off-site, just because I'm uncomfortable with someone or have personal issues with them doesn't necessarily mean I'd want them to be unable to participate in the threads I made!

I've heard of people blocking users just because their avatars bug them, too, so I think for really a lot of reasons it would be useful if there was a way to hide a given user's posts from your view without having to resort to full-on blocking them! The current blocking system is awesome for if you really want someone far away from you and totally cut off from you, but I think there are a lot of cases where someone's reasons for blocking aren't so severe or where they'd feel really unsafe the person they blocked found out about it!

This might have been said somewhere already, but I'd really love an option to switch out 'feed' and 'popular' on the front page.  Or possibly make it something you can add/disable to the front page like the other options, as well?  I mean I guess it's not a big deal since it's really just an extra click away atm, but I really did like the original layout of having both new characters and the recent overall most popular characters on one page.  
The feed option is a nice addtion for sure, but it's really not something I have much need for all the time, while on the other hand I do like checking the most popular more frequently.
If something like this were possible, I think having this option would be really nice, and also allow people who prefered the original setup to keep it as it was!

I love the idea you have about adding an option for fandom / canon characters. I'm part of a roleplay group that uses canon characters on another site and it'd be great to organize them here. I know some people can be sensitive about OCs and fandom characters being mixed though, but if there's a way to keep them separate, maybe even a feature to hide them for certain people, and so they don't pop up on featured characters it should be fine, hopefully. ^_^ 

Also, it'd be great to see this site become more mobile friendly in the future. It's a bit hard for me to navigate on my phone.

IDK if this has been added yet but could we possibly have threads automatically lock others hasn't been any activity after a certain time period? (i.e., 180 days with no posts) 

GalacticCommanderKat

I'm not sure if anyone else has suggested this, but how about an option that if you were to merge two of your characters together, you could transfer one character's artworks over to another's profile instead of re-uploading them or creating a new profile altogether?

FAMILY TREE OPTION PLEASE?

_featherweather

admin please fix the error when we try to upload too big character images - it still shows the error as "needs artist info"

Along with the general suggestions for game subforum due to the flooding of general chat...
I'd also think that a "species" subforum would be nice because idk if they belong in general hmm..
