A search feature I'd like to see, but don't really expect to see anytime soon, because it's possible to accomplish the same things at present (although it's clumsy, requiring either multiple searches or adjusting your blacklist for the purposes of one search).

► Tag Grouping
▼ Tag Grouping

The ability to group tags when using logical operators. Examples:
~(A B) ~(C D) returns images with A and B, or C and D (can be done with two searches)
~(A B) ~C returns images with A and B, or C (can be done with two searches)
~(A B) ~C D returns images with D, and either A and B, or C (can be done with two searches)
(A -B) C returns all images tagged with C, unless it has A and does not have B (n.b. if an image has B without A it still shows up) (can be done with two searches, or by blacklisting A -B)
-(A B) C returns all images tagged with C, unless it has A and B together (n.b. if an image has either A or B it will show up in the results) (can be done by blacklisting A B, but I don't think this can be duplicated without the blacklist)


Requested Feature: Turn the background color red on flagging/reporting pages
Useful because: People wouldn't think the report button is the respond button as much and would know that flagging something is a serious "stop and think about it" thing

Requested Feature: show implications on wiki pages like aliases

Why it would be useful: makes it easier to see which tag is connected

BTW i know i could just go to the implication page for that. But it would still be a nice feature to have in the wiki section.


Requested Feature: we should have an "aaaaaaaaa I came" feature like Rule34.
Why it would be useful: Less trolling and comments on pics about how they like it "too much".


In next update

► Apply tag aliases to blacklist
▼ Apply tag aliases to blacklist

Requested Feature: Have the server parse out a person's blacklist when they edit it in their user settings, do alias searches for all the tags within it and replace tags with aliases as appropriate, and then commit a blacklist that has all the proper aliases sorted out. So a person could put in "mlp rating:e" and after submitting they'd see the line had been changed to "my_little_pony rating:e".

Why it would be useful: Easier, more reliable blacklisting because people won't have to remember aliases.


Does an equivalent method of doing this already exist?

Requested Feature: A metatag for tags that a user has edited (e.g. tagedit:char scalie will show posts that Char tagged, or untagged with scalie)

Why it would be useful: Allows users to search for other users' tag edits. (The ability to search for edited posts by post id, and not tag is possible as well)


this is a little one, but... I wish that when I used a thumb nail, they wouldn't by default start a new line. it's frustrating to

and have them all display on separate lines... it'd take less vertical space to <thumbnail here> and <thumbnail here> to <thumbnail here> .. if i want line breaks, I'll put 'em in myself.


Already possible

► Ability to flag approved posts
▼ Ability to flag approved posts

Requester Feature: Flag for deletion of approved posts.

Useful Because If there are ever reposts that need to be deleted, e.g, of post #84058, or troll posts that were approved.

Fixed in next update

► Easier way to switch between aliases and implications
▼ Easier way to switch between aliases and implications

Requested Feature: Can we go back to the old alias/implication search interface?
Why it would be useful: It was much more convenient to be able to type in a tag once, click "search implications", and then "search aliases" to get a picture of all the implications and aliases involved than to go to Tags > Implications >type in name > search > Tags > Aliases > type in name again > search


Requested Feature: Separate blacklist for avatars.
Why it would be useful: Because the blacklist on posts is a great tool for supplementing image searches by applying a client-side filter to common topics I'm not interested in, but that's an entirely separate issue from avatars where there is a much smaller set of images that I just never, ever, ever want to see. Ever.

A couple of months ago, titaniachkt suggested an option to blacklist avatars by rating. Similar idea, I'm just thinking it may be easier to implement a whole-hog solution that stores a separate blacklist for the forums, and ne'er the two (forums and image search) should mix.


Fuck Sofurry

► Cum/came counter
▼ Cum/came counter

I don't know if this has been requested before, but....

Requested Feature: Implementing a "cum/came" counter for explicit/pr0n posts.
Why it would be useful: Several reasons;
1. It can eliminate those creepy "I came." comments.
2. This can be a form of info that artists can use to judge how "good"/popular their posts are.
3. It can give us another way to see what's currently popular.

I've seen it used on the rule34 booru before, and they've even made a page listing top counters, which I find to be useful as to what the "current trends" are.


Requested Feature: Ability to search "-fav:bob" and "-user:bob"
Why it would be useful: To search for images you haven't favourited or uploaded, rather than having to sift through all of them.

EDIT: Also "~fav:bob ~user:bob" would be nice, so I could search through my favourites and my uploads at the same time.


has the ability to remove flag for deletions by the one who flagged it been submitted for request? would be useful if the person flagged it by accident.


Request: Sort posts by number of tags.
Why: Would serve as a handy list of posts that need tagging. Go through the list from the beginning and add tags.

► Show implied tags on wiki pages
▼ Show implied tags on wiki pages

Request: Wiki articles for tags should include "The following tags imply this tag:"

Why: One click to find out which tag is preventing you from removing a tag.


What: Hide "Respond to post" (aka quote) on locked threads
Why: Because why is even on a locked thread?

But what about admins responding to each other in locked topics?

It's possible to have it hidden (or replaced with a non-clickable "Locked") for regular users but left working for mods+.

Not sure that its worth the effort, though.


Requested feature:
When you upload a better version of an image, and the old version gets deleted, the comments from the old version should be transferred to the new one. This already works with favorites, as long as the new post is set as the old post's parent.

Why it would be useful:
Some comments are informative or funny, and it'd be a shame if they got deleted.

Parent/child relationships don't necessarily mean that the images are the same, therefore comments would end up making no sense since they're on different images than they were created for.

But the post transfer would presumably only apply if the child pic were deleted. There would be no reason to delete anything if the parent/child posts were different.

Unless the image is deleted for reasons other then it being a duplicate -- like the child being an unauthorized edit that the artist requests removal of.

Maybe it could be set up as an option during deletion?
On a different topic...
Feature request: Some form of differentiation for Flash thumbnails. Automated screenshots, user-selected screenshots, even just put the md5 of the file on the thumb. It doesn't need to be useful for finding flashes the first time to be useful for finding a flash again.
Why this would be useful: "I wish I could find that flash with X and Y again...which one was it? "


Feature Request: You know the account upgrades like contributor and mod and admin and member? Is there a description thing to any of them?

Why would it be useful: I want to know what it takes to be a Janitor. *cringes* Don't hit me!


Requested feature: Highlight un-hidden images.

Why it would be useful: If you un-hide a tag you had blacklisted, you have to scroll up and down the page to figure out where the un-hidden images are in the page, trying to figure out which images get displaced so you can find it. A nice border around images when they've been un-hidden would make them easy to find at a glance.

In fact I CONSTANTLY have to get on Tony for trying to remove janitors all together "We don't use janitors anymore" "We aren't the only site that uses Ouroboros >.>"

I think the last person to be a janitor was riversyde when he was misbehaving a bit


Requested feature: Random button not causing blacklisted images to show up.

Why it would be useful: People don't want to play Russian Roulette when they click random. They just want a random pick at images they might be interested in.

possible, but too much of a pain to impliment correctly.

Isn't having a minus sign infront of a word usually saying, "hey, I don't like the bass but I do not want music in my searches"
http://www.bl.uk/aboutus/searchtips.html#exclude_words

Even if you hadn't faved them, there are still an assload of stuff to sort through and 'bob' might not have want you want uploaded or fave.
By the incorrect context of your search, you are stating that searchs and favorites by 'bob do Not show up.
