I second the suggestion from a few people above me. I think the ability to make character links protected and private would be very 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...
idk if this was suggested before, but how about name changes?
For example, the first name change could be free and users have the option to change their name every 60 days or so?
How about if you set a character to a looser privacy setting (private to protected to public) that it gives a notification to people who would now be able to see the character if they couldn't before? Just a regular 'USERNAME uploaded a new character' notification, but for characters that are changed to looser privacy settings.
idk if anyone ever made this suggestion but, if you could make Management a bit easier by highlighting the characters when they've been selected, i'd really appreciate it! it's hard to tells who's been clicked/un-clicked when i'm managing tags/etc for multiple characters :") also if possible, multiple image uploading? thank you for your time and hard work though!
i think it would be nice if when you linked a character profile on a site that previews links, the preview showed the character's icon instead of the user's icon.
Lately I've been getting notifications for subscribed users' added images, and I can clearly see the thumbnails but when I click them it doesn't show and says I don't have permission to view the image. I think if the user has set permissions on images, then people outside those permissions shouldn't get notifications in the first place, or if they change the permission after the notification was sent out, then the thumbnail shouldn't be visible in the notification page anymore. I feel like I'm unintentionally intruding on these users' privacy because the system still allows me to see these images when I shouldn't be able to.
I'm not sure if this is a thing yet but!! Figured I'd drop this off anyway just in case hh
So the blocking system here is both great and also kinda wonky!! On threads I'm subbed to, I'll still get notified if someone I have blocked comments. I don't really have a problem with that per se, but I'd prefer not to zee the persons name ;o; ((like instead of "new comment from --" it'd say "new comment from a blocked user" if that's at all possible..
THERES ALSO!!
Idk about others, but blocking people here means we don't wanna be in contact with them, nor do we want them looking at our characters.. if the person we blocked logs out and goes to our page, they'd still be able to browse... I dont wanna hide my characters from EVERYONE just bc one person makes me extremely uncomfortable..
So I thought maybe, more privacy settings? (I know it's on todo but aahhhhh)
Public is ofc for EVERYONE, visitors with no account and people who do (unless blocked)
Maybe something where people with an account here with Toyhou.se only can see? Like they'd have to log in to see them!
Then the usual authorized only, and private blahblah
OH AND ALSO
Sorry for two comments omg
I wish we could see when/if a post/comment got updated. People could be changing their comments to hide something icky they said and we'd never know because the comment doesn't show that it was ever edited beyond the original post
