Is there any way to improve thumbnail on long comic strips? Currently, they look like this:
 
full
 
Which doesn’t really do a thumbnail’s job. Is it possible to do something like displaying only a part of an image if it’s a long comic?

Since a lot of artists like to add a “support me on Patreon” kind of thing to the descriptions of their pictures, have you guys ever considered expanding the artist link feature to include a “Support On Patreon” kind of thing? So you could have (as an example):  
full  
at the top of the screen when someone searches for them? You could have link a specialized link slot that would only accept a “https://www.patreon.com/” link or something. (And before anyone says it, I don’t actually have a Patreon myself except to donate to Derpi with)
 
Also since I’m here, can I reaffirm my interest in being able to see how many people watch our tags? It’s an already implemented feature that is useful, would encourage more artists to post here, and has no downsides whatsoever. It doesn’t count as spamming if I’m merely attaching this to other legitimate posts; that drunk guy at the highway rest stop who said he’s a lawyer said so! ;D
 
Seriously, both of these would be a huge help to content creators. The former would help bring some extra revenue to those who live off of creating content, and the latter would be a venue for content creators to know how well recieved they are as content creators here (since upvotes aren’t nearly as useful for that since they’re biased based on each individual picture)

@Badumsquish  
Patreon etc links are something we’ve considered but haven’t added yet; it’s something that would be nice to attach to a tag, but it’s a slightly complex metadata problem. Edit: additionally, we’ve been looking at this in the context of also allowing people to advertise they’re open to commissions, not just in terms of Patreon.
 
As for tag watch counts - it’s not implemented, and it’s hard to do accurately due to complex watches. On top of that, it’s not clear to me that it’s a benefit or good thing for content creators - how would you feel if you had one single watcher on your artist tag? Or 1000?

Oh, it’s not implemented? Sorry, I was going by this post and just misred it (let it be known my computer skills are shite).
 
To be honest, I’d feel pretty darned good just knowing that people here were actually fans of my stuff as a whole. I feel a hell of a lot worse not being able to know.
 
I’ll be real for a minute. This is the only place I post, and it’s actually really disheartening and discouraging not being able to have even a clue how many people out there follow me. It’s like shooting blind, and sometimes it’s just like what’s even the point, right? Besides, how is it any worse than not getting some faves or upvotes, getting some downvotes, or getting snarky comments (which, by the way, this site does an amazing job of cracking down on unfair and dickish comments. Don’t get me wrong there).

I agree that being able to know how many people are watching your tag could be a useful (or at least interesting statistic). It is a good metric to gauge how well you’re doing as an artist, along side image score and favorites.
 
Perhaps have it visible only to the artist themselves though, to avoid a virtual dick size contest, but it is something I’d think a lot of artists would like to know.
 
 
@Clover the Clever  
it’s hard to do accurately due to complex watches.
 
How many people use complex watches though? Even if there are a few people watching a particular artist via complex watches, it’d be a very small number compared to simple watchers, so it’d be safe to say that the simple watchers count would be close enough to the real number, +/- 1%, maybe 2%

@Badumsquish  
What mods have is a raw list of people that have a tag spoilered, hidden, or watched, that afaik is fetched each time we check. So there would have to be changes to fetch that value and store it in a nice manner, plus to make it so only the linked artist can see it, since as joey mentions we don’t want another dick-waving contest going on on the site.
 
If it were a flip of a switch it’d’ve been done a while ago; sadly this’ll require dev time, and we have a big tech debt in many areas.
 
Soo… yes, we can and probably will, but probably not Soon.

I mean, it’d be nice to see it for more than just artists tags. And as far as dick waving contests, many sites have that information visible to the public without it being a big deal. If it becomes one, you could take away the toys but I doubt there will be one.
 
No need to chase away dragons that aren’t there.

Many sites are shit and harvest a culture of a person’s worth being only so great as their followe/watcher count. I’d rather not have “kiribans” or people waving around their follower numbers like it means something, or try to fight to push them up for some meaningless ego inflation.
 
I get that for most people it’s a matter of curiosity or satisfaction over a job well done, but I’ve seen to many instances of social site stats becoming important, and obsession, or just downright ruining everything.

@The Smiling Pony  
It’s always a double-edged sword with something like that isn’t it? To be honest though, I can’t see it as any more of a magic horn waving contest than like favorites or upvotes or even the badge system. Some people are like that, yeah (I’ve even seen people brag about having uploaded an image they found that got featured), but I still think the good aspects far outweighs the bad. Like Joey said, it also lets artists know that they’re improving and gaining an audience, and that their work is being appreciated. The single most heartbreaking thing that can happen for an artist is not having an audience. I stand by the idea that it wouldn’t be a mainline feature on so many art and media sites if it wasn’t an overall good thing that most people wanted.
 
But hey, you don’t know how awesome of news it is that you guys are even considering it, to be honest. I swear I will love all of you long time if you ever do it. That feature will, hands down, make this site superior to every single other site out there for a Brony artist as far as I’m concerned (It already beats them out for being such a lax, laid back, and welcoming environment with an all around good group of people).
 
Also too, truth is I honestly feel bad for implying it was an “already implemented” feature that just needed to be turned on. I’m dumb with computers, I won’t lie; I misunderstood that one mod’s comment and yeah, that was dickish of me. I’m sorry.

For members with a verified artist tag, how about a “Recent Artworks” section (either a separate box, or an option to replace “recent uploads” with it to avoid clutter), that displays the most recent images containing their verified tag(s)?
 
It’d be useful for artists who don’t always post their own work to the site, as well as artists who regularly post other people’s works non-anon, as it’d let people have an at-a-glace view of only that artist’s artwork when viewing their profile.

I don’t like the syntax quick reference - it draws eye to it, and it’s the point, but I know the syntax already and don’t NEED my attention drawn to it. I hope there will be an option to hide it when the changes are finished-ish.

It also does not currently answer the #1 question asked by everyone: how do I embed images in my posts? It explains most of the codes, but not that one. You have to click the “…” button to see it.

We’ve just forgotten to add syntax help when adding parsed areas. I’ll add it in.
 
EDIT:Actually, syntax help was already on the about me editing page, but it was for some reason placed below the submit button, which made it hard to notice, I even initially had two of them on the page while fixing the page since I didn’t see it.
