I second lantern-k1ng on the co-owning thing. My best friend and I co-own plenty of characters as well so an option like this would be rather useful!
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...
I think a feature for co-ownership would be really useful if there's not one already. that way, a character that belongs to two+ people can be uploaded by the main owner, but still shown on everyone's profiles
omg PLEASE let me share characters!! I rp characters that are shared or have npcs that are shared it would be so so so helpful ;_; Not multiple people or a ton of people just co-owned esp since....it would be so quality of life to not have to go through partner to get everything perfectly synchronized every single time or to figure out who gets to put duel-owned character up on profile when it's someone who is equally owned and who we both pay for art for but it would look super weird to have doubly up (so one of us would just put private so that it's not getting spammed for people who follow us and are otherwise going to get alerts x2 when we post the same stuff).
x1000 this would make my life so so so much easier. Even if the co-ownership shows in a separate section from other characters this would be AMAZING (especially if you could then post as the character, etc. since it makes it tough in worlds, etc. for rp without straight up giving the character to the other person). lantern-k1ng
I'd love a way of liking or saving a forum thread without subscribing to it and getting notifications for every post! Just a list page where I could go back to a thread I wanted to check out later. Things tend to get lost in my browser's bookmarks~
@smolderingskies People tend to ping themselves in threads they want to save for later.
Still, I'd love for this to be a thing too
Is it possible to look at your previously made comments on characters/forums somehow? I'm pretty new and I just offered in a character without saving the webpage...
@lightningclawedsky Fear not, you'll have to search for that thread again. I suggest bookmarking important threads to your browser!
I have no idea if someone's reported this yet, but when you're blocked, you can still see the OCs of someone who has blocked you. You can't comment, but you can still see the OCs. I think this should be a feature that should be changed so you can't see anything of the person who blocked you, yanno? Blocked is blocked. x:
Then again, maybe this is being kept around in case there's a scenario where someone claims OC theft and they need a link to the specific character even after they've been blocked? That does make sense, too.
Regarding block, I see this in the FAQ: "I'm thinking of blocking stuff like favorites", and I think that would be a good idea. It'd be a little strange if someone you have blocked, or if someone who's blocked you, can still favorite your characters.
I think I speak for alot of people when I say I have about as many AU's as I have characters, which of course comes with like a million new versions of said characters, so maybe something could be done with that? For example, sub-pages for AU versions?
it'd be nice if there were signatures, especially if you're trying to sell commissions or you're looking for specific art without spamming (of course there should be a limit).
This was entirely UI unfamiliarity on my part, but if you create a character and list yourself as on-site creator (instead of the default like I should have, oops) it sends a transfer request to you from yourself for the character in question. Is this something you guys would be looking to clean up? I'm not nitpicking or anything since it's definitely not intended usage, it just also seemed like the kind of quirk that was worth mentioning since I can't find anyone else who goofed like I did haha.
Maybe privacy settings on the Links depending on each character's individual privacy settings, as well as privacy settings for a character's field information?
May I ask if the point "Clean up mass image/character management" involves the idea of making more than one gallery for each character possible? Or if this a thing in general? I'd love to sort pictures of my OCs into sepperate galleries of for example "fanart I received from other artists" and "refs or pictures I drew myself"
:> That would be awesome!
