Feature suggestions and discussion [READ THE FIRST POST]

@Thanotos Omega
…That's one way of putting it.

Out of curiosity, does Reverse Image Search list the results in order of similarity, or just randomly?

@Solitude
What? That's how it works, He pays the bills, And get's Tons of Trixie delivered to him,

Can you please not derail? Thank you.

@The Smiling Pony
I support and second the Teaspoon list of butts.

@The Smiling Pony
→ Ability to have verified artists control over their verified art
→ Improve user page to include user description, custom links, comments, etc.

DeviantArt and FurAffinity are not good role models for an image hosting site to follow.

Teaspoon's list of wants:

→ Tiny thumbnails in notification page
Doable, might happen
→ Ability to check off notifications without going to the image/thread/stream
Doable, might happen
→ Page that lists everything you're subscribed to
Doable, might happen
→ Reply notifications specify if you were replied to directly
Quite complex, not likely in short term
→ Notifications on image deletion or merger
Quite complex, not likely in short term

→ Support of ustream, justin.tv, twitch.tv and picarto.tv streams
Unlikely for now especially since not all of these services provide embeds.
→ Support for custom IRC embeds in streams
Possible but with limited network support — IRC links are more readily doable.
→ Additional description field in stream embed pages
Likewise doable.
→ Save NSFW stream setting for streams
Doable.

→ Update image comment section to resemble forums (less JS)
Work in progress.
→ Avatars in image comments
See above.
→ >>#t and >>#p syntax in image comments
See above.
→ Image and Forum comments that are replied to link to the reply with a click-preview
Doable, not in progress.
→ Click-preview on forum comments
Doable, not in progress.
→ Ability to edit image comments
Will be an iteration on the initial rollout of forum style comments to images, with additional restrictions
→ Tag categorization (artist, rating, spoiler, character, important, important-NSFW, other)
Already exists to an extent via namespaces, will be worked on but not a priority now.
→ Divide tag display in tag list by category and then alphabetically
Doable, not considered at present.
→ Prioritize tags image file names by category
In the to-do list already.
→ Forum post and subject search
Already in the to-do list.
→ List forum posts the same as image comment posts under use profile
Already in the to-do list.
→ Image comment search
Already done, but needing serious interface work.

→ Page that shows "previous versions" thumbs for images that have been merged
Image provenance and edit history is a fairly complex beast but something we're looking at. It will be done after or as part of the new upload workflow.
→ Finish the Activity page and set it to optional home page
Define finish.
→ Complex filtering
Not currently feasible in some cases; a limited implementation may be made available.
→ "Smarter" Spoiler display priority
Already mostly done.
→ Unspoiler on click as an option
Already mostly done.
→ Ability to have verified artists control over their verified art
Already on the to-do list, probably after new image workflow and image comments.
→ Improve user page to include user description, custom links, comments, etc.
Not even on the radar
→ Mark new/unread PMs and/or list them at the top
Sorting is a bug, will be fixed
→ Ability to search through PMs
Not likely to happen
→ Ability to search for users by name
Already available for mods, a user-facing one might show up.

It would be very nice if a mod could give us the feasibility and status of these features.

@Clover the Clever
→ Finish the Activity page and set it to optional home page
Define finish.

>>357414 for starters

→ Improve user page to include user description, custom links, comments, etc.
Not even on the radar

Then I'm putting it on the radar. Again, given this is an edited copy-paste of the document from last April, and that was a copy of the Confluence document from November 2012.

* Allow users to have a "home page" with:
→ Editable "about me" section.
→ Links to other sites the artist uses.
→ Quick access to all images made made by the user if they're a verified artist
→ Thumbnails of the latest few above such images
→ Link to Livestream/s if they exists, respecting stream SFW/NSFW setting
→ Images from a verified artist and their /tag/ page includes link to user's profile page

* Activity-page type display of user's activity
→ Recent comments
→ Recent forum posts
→ Recent uploads
→ Recent favourites

View user's tag changes?

@Parzival
Seconded. Or at least our own.

One thing that I think would be really cool to see (though I fully realize that it would likely be rather complicated to implement) is "combo filtering". As the name implies, it would filter out images that contain a specific combination of tags. For example:

The user sets up a combo filter: Tag A + Tag B.

If an image is tagged with Tag A but not Tag B (or vise-versa), it is not filtered. If the image is tagged with both Tag A and Tag B, it is filtered.

@LanceOmikron
This I would like too. Could we get this?
It's basically what I want.

@LanceOmikron
@SunnySide

→ Complex filtering
Not currently feasible in some cases; a limited implementation may be made available.

@dt
Yeah, that's what I figured. Ah well, thanks! ^_

Can there be some way to display notifications on the activity page?

Multi person PMs, More or less like a private forum threads, where one of the people has to send a message from it to some one for them to join, So you have less need of one person going Brony1 said X should i tell him Y?

@The Smiling Pony
THIS

→ Implement Background Pony ID system to forum replies
→ Implement Background Pony ID system to image uploader

→ Spice up Background Pony IDs with randomized "pony-like" names
(someone made a userscript for this that was mildly amusing)

@The Smiling Pony
Don't the Forums already have Background pony ID?

@trashboat
Not on reply; I'll clarify.

@The Smiling Pony
I'm still Confused, What do you mean by "Not on Reply"?

@trashboat
If I reply to an anon, the ID is not included in the replying-to link.

@The Smiling Pony
Oh, I get it now

The Spoiler:s4 tag is being used in the wrong way.
E.G: Pinkie Pride episode was looped today and there is thousand of spoilers, users just don't know how to use the freaking spoiler tag…
