Requested feature: Each subject in a post has a separate list of character tags describing them.

Why it would be useful: This feature would allow incredibly specific searches and blacklists to be made, especially in regards to particular characters and fetishes.

With our current tagging system, if someone wanted to search for female elephants, they could enter the "female" and "elephant" tags, but many of the posts would be needlessly irrelevant to their intended search. They would get many male elephants, and females of other species, so long as both tags were in the post. They could add the "solo" tag to their search, but this would exclude a vast amount of artwork that includes female elephants.

While this would make correctly tagging a post more difficult, once correctly tagged, the entire database would become much more accurate and precise.

The system would be rather simple. The subject closest to the top-left corner (this corner is arbitrary) is Subject 1, the next closest is Subject 2, and so on, and when tagging, similar to how there are artist and species tags, you could associate tags as a subject, using a similar format: "subject1:green_eyes". This tag would denote the subject closes to the top-left corner to have green eyes. More tags would be associated with that subject, such as name, species, gender, colors, current sexual roles and positions, as well as visible body parts. The result would allow users to search the site for tags grouped under the same subject, allowing for specific searches to be made, which would be incredibly useful for finding art that matches ones tastes, searching for a particular character in a particular situation, or easily locating an unknown character or artist simply by knowing a basic description of a subject in a post. This system would also apply to blacklists, allowing users to be incredibly exact in the posts they don't wish to see.

It would be a daunting task, but with the sheer amount of posts that are made here, more organization is critical to maintaining a user-friendly database, and the longer we wait, the harder it will be to implement organizational measures in the future.

There was a similar discussion a while ago you can have a look at if you like: forum #136716

Speaking of blacklisting, why not make the "Random Post" button respect blacklist?>

Well, I tried searching site:https://e621.net/forum/show/30573 "commissioner" at Google to see if this was discussed, so please forgive me if it has:

A commissioner tag type. I know that we already have the copyright type, but that's normally used for characters, not specific pieces.

I'd rather not add a tag type for something that we discourage tagging of.

Unfortunately doing this requires a rewrite of how blacklisting is processed, namely sever-side blacklisting (rather than on your computer). It's something we've wanted to do for a while now but haven't gotten around to just yet.

Huh. This is the first I've heard of that. I should have done more research.

Is it okay to include this information in the description? That way, I can just do a Google Image Search of site:https://e621.net/ "commissioner name".

That's been encouraged in the past, yeah. Better to use the description or a secondary source line than to make a new tag for it than to make new tags.

Request: New post mode, click thumbnail to copy post ID#

Either 1. Click thumbnail, post ID (just the digits, no '#') is copied to clipboard, success message displayed

Or 2. Input text boxes with post ID (read only) displayed centered under all thumbnails. Clicking on thumbnail selects the post ID in the text box.

Why? Gotta go fast.

I forget if I've requested this before, but I would love it if the edit field when using "Edit Posts" mode would actually show up just above or below the specific row you're editing.

Gave some thought into this, if instead of separating the thumbnails by pushing the edit box into them, it could overlay it through javascript and avoid complications, right?

It's dirty and it might not work, but let's try it.

All code added to the PostModeMenu object.

The new init function:

init: function() {
        if (Cookie.get("mode") == "") {
            Cookie.put("mode", "view")
            $("mode").value = "view"
        } else {
            $("mode").value = Cookie.get("mode")
        }
		var l = document.getElementsByClassName("content-post");
		if (l.length==1)
		{
			var l2 = l[0].getElementsByClassName("thumb");
			for (var i=0; i<l2.length; i++)
			{
				idspn=document.createElement("span");
				idbox=document.createElement("input");
				idbox.setAttribute("id","idbox"+l2[i].id.substring(1));
				idbox.setAttribute("value",l2[i].id.substring(1));
				idbox.setAttribute("onclick","this.select()");
				idbox.setAttribute("readonly","readonly");
				idspn.appendChild(idbox);
				l2[i].appendChild(idspn);
				idspn.hide();
			}
		}
        this.change()
    }

Near beginning of change function:

if (s.value != "edit") {
            $("quick-edit").hide()
        }
		
		var l = document.getElementsByClassName("content-post");
		if (l.length==1)
		{
			var l2 = l[0].getElementsByClassName("thumb");
			for (var i=0; i<l2.length; i++)
			{
				if (s.value == "copy-id")
				{
					$("idspn"+l2[i].id.substring(1)).show();
				}
				else
				{
					$("idspn"+l2[i].id.substring(1)).hide();
				}
			}
		}

Near end of click function, list of else-if blocks:

else if (s.value == "copy-id") {
			$("idbox"+post_id).select();
		}

Finally, you need a new option in the mode select box:

<option value="copy-id">Copy post IDs</option>

Maybe something that permanently puts the status of "Read" to a forum thread? Sometimes I see forums that have no useful or interesting topic come across but have heavy traffic on a daily-weekly or even monthly basis and I would like to just ignore those without them taking up the front page each time.

I was thinking about that, but I instead wanted to just say something like a blacklist for topics.

For instance, we do use a topic ID, so adding "topic:30573" (which is this topic's number ID) into the blacklist would make us never see it again.

We could also do this for posts, say for some odd reason you hate post #898138 (they're even shocked at that!).

You could do "post:898138" just to blacklist it, and not all of the artist's works of art. The same could be applied to user IDs, unless we already have a system for that, by "user:59725". And don't check who that ID belongs to...

That does make sense considering we use numbers for a lot of things, but the next problem that would arise is the amount of characters your blacklist would quickly grow in. This is especially annoying for users that have a lot on their blacklist.
Besides, they are only temporary tags: even if it takes a few months before a forum thread cools down or gets locked, so you would still constantly have to update it.

I don't know what you mean by temporary tags. If you mean the treads, there are times when they get necroposted to life. If what I linked is a temporary number, then I don't know what the "real" number is, i just used my experience in manipulating URLs to a PC from a iPhone so I can play flash games on here without re-searching for the post.

Regardless, I would also bring to attention that I am ambiguous with blacklist. They could make their own for forums, as also for users and specific posts; I only listed THE blacklist for convenience.

They would need to change the code so that reading a more recent thread wouldn't make the older threads count as read, then.

Maybe if they had a way to blacklist specifically forum threads separately from your posts blacklist.

Idea 1

Requested feature: A few new DMail functions:

  • Carbon Copy
  • Sortable categories
  • Contact/friend list

Why it would be useful: Right now, DMails are rather simple and primitive. On a site such as e621, proper contact and communication can be imperative for success, especially among mods and admins.

Idea 2

Requested feature: A DText tag that ends all DText (e.g. [/e] or [/end])

Why it would be useful: Certain replies, often long and formal ones, end with a lot of excessive [/x] DText. If you can just end the section, quote, bold and such all at once instead of individually, that would be great. This would be especially useful if you spammed a lot of DText that continuously alters your text the more you spam it (e.g. [sub] and [sup]). It would also be great for ensuring the person who quotes your text doesn't get hindered from your DText.

Requested feature: the ability to search up to a time frame

Why it would be useful: to be fair, it may "not" be useful, but I can throw an instance here: say I wish to search for female/male unbirthing. Our site chronicles (I think I used that right) the images from earliest to latest, and allows you to choose how many posts per page. However, if I were to want to look for images up to a week ago, I'd have to "shoot in the dark" until I reach that time frame. With the ability to choose a timeframe, I could search up 'til I get to 1 week ago, and stop there because there would be no more posts.

Again, this may not be the most useful thing, but I normally like searching into X days ago, on inkbunny, to catch up to where I missed out for my normal searches. I do know that clicking on a post's "time posted" text shows me some form of timeframe, but I don't understand exactly what it does.

I'll see about fitting this in under /post/show. Under /post/index it probably runs the risk of being too expensive to look up for the number of posts that can appear on a page.

Requested feature: Scale the video content to screen width similar to images.
Why it would be useful: There's absolutely no reason why anyone would want the video content to go out of bounds of browser window, especially to the right. This have had an effect where there are uploads intentionally uploaded with much, much smaller resolution and even incorrect aspect ratios.

Clicking media won't work as zoom toggling because it acts as an play/pause, but there would still be toggle under the media as well as fullscreen toggling. <video> should act pretty similarly to <img> with lots of things.

Requested feature: I was also about to ask about adding notes into the videos as well.
Why it would be useful: Because some of the video content needs translation as well and with some, commenting/description might not be good enough, e.g:
post #880327 post #847197 post #837158
However I guess there wouldn't be way to toggle them off or time them if necessary. How massive pain in the ass operation would subtitle support be? <track> should allow using .vtt files with everything that also support the videos. As subtitles are still plain text, in theory it should be possible to implement it with the note system.

and just to be really annoying and demanding user, thumbnails?

Updated by anonymous

@Mario69 It would be neat if there was a system for user-editable subtitles. Not that there are too many videos that need to be transcribed, right? Some have no audio, others are just moaning.

Like in examples I gave, there are cases where there are text in the video itself. But that's why I asked that how painful operation that would be as of course if it's too hard to implement, then there's not much point if usage is low. But the support is there and it basically only needs text with timestamps.

But my suggestion about scaling videos to browsers width similar to how images are handled was my main thing.

A function that emails you if your ip location drastically changed, asks if it's you and gives an option to log out all active log ins and change the password like facebook has.

An example is that some asshat in Porto Rico tried to log into my Facebook a couple of days ago, soon as I got that email I changed my password.
I've seen a few sites that have a page that lists your "access" records, it lists ips and location, date of access etc. I think this would help keep people from getting stealthily hacked, or at least alert the person to the problem. FA and Inkbunny could really benefit from that kind of set up too...especially with fa's "we've been hacked!" Record.

The only issue I can really spot would be people using proxy, they would have the alarms going off every time the proxy switched over to a new ip

Updated by anonymous

@Esme_Belles: There could be a setting to display the last attempt as a banner above news, only display a (red) banner if the IP doesn't match the last one used, or never display a banner. Then have last 5 attempts always logged on Settings page, or better yet, My Account where there is lots of whitespace. It could be hidden in an expandable section under the options list.

Proxy users can pick the setting that makes sense for them.

You know, I was just talking (to myself) about sortable catagories, or the ability to make mailboxes. The contact/friendlist may be useful, and it probably will be, but I usually just do "respond", to keep the conversation list, unless it's a seperate topic.

We have no current plans to add these features to DMail but I'll keep them in mind for the future (they're good ideas but low priority as of right now).

For the latter, I'm currently working on several huge dtext cleanups that generally focus on code readability, performance, and, most importantly, making it fail more gracefully.

Requested feature: species/gender 'matrix'
Why it would be useful: At present, if I search "dragon female", I get all images that have:
►at least 1 dragon
►at least 1 female

This can get really annoying, as I obviously want female dragons to be in the posts. So, I propose a new tagging system for species and gender. The species tags would be changed to be formatted "<species>(<comma-delimited list of gender(s) present of that species)", and would be entered into the search bar the same. For example, I would search "dragon(female)" to obtain my wanted result above, and I could exclude males if I wanted to by changing it to "dragon(female,-male)".
This would be displayed on posts as a grid in the current location of the species tags, and would be formatted accordingly:
►Species tagged in the post would label the rows
►Genders tagged in the post would label the columns
►Each species-gender pair would have some mark in its appropriate cell if present in the post

This has been proposed before, but is complicated and would require retagging of nearly a million images. Additionally, the easier solution of gender-species combo tags using an underscore or alt form like "lionness" is officially discouraged.

Searching female dragon solo or female dragon solo_focus can help you, but the tag system you describe won't be added anytime soon.

Well, it could be implemented as an optional system, and people could gradually retag images to work with this system. That could reduce the workload, as well as distribute it over time and people.

God yes.

I would almost say even without looking the code of the site, that impementation should work almost identically with videos as it does with images.

I was thinking about that with notes, however it would still only require users to be able to insert plain text with timestamps, nothing fancier. I do fully understand amount of work compared to usage, so that's fine as my main point was the scaling of videos and the thumbnails for them![/sup]

They are. I can easily bring up page elements and add the style property directly to video tag and it works. That's why I was thinking without looking the code that it should be as easy thing to do as it is with images.

With flashes I'm actually not entirely sure as especially last several years flashes look goddamn ugly if viewed with anything else than native resolution. Because of that I have local flash projector installed. However if there would be option to seperately toggle these (images, videos, flash) in settings with flash disabled by default, that would be good as well.

Here's actually prime example why this would be good idea:
post #910820
Because if I wanted to made it scale to sites width, it would need to be uploaded as 60 MB gif instead.

Actually, they're trying to get it implemented already. It's just taking time because of how much they'll have to change the code.

But can you agree that:

1. It will require retagging of nearly a million images
2. It could take months or years to finish the code

We are? That's news to me.

Leveraging multi-tag searches has always seemed like a more efficient and reliable way to handle it.

I belive Char mentioned it.

I think it was a statement along the lines of: we'd like to do something like that in the long-term, but it isn't possible with the database/code currently in use and so isn't something currently being focused on.

As to feature requests: How hard would it be to move the "last page" link into the parenthesis after the page number links in forum?

That is, instead of "Topic last (1 2 3 ... 7 8 9)" have "Topic (1 2 3 ... 7 8 9 - last)

(Though, given that last page can always be reached with the numbered links, I've often questioned the need of a "last" link since it doesn't do anything different like sending you to bottom of last page.)

Speaking of the forum, would it be possible to always show the thread title? On all pages, not just the first one?

I keep opening multiple threads in tabs, and then losing track of which is which. Awkward.

Tab name is name of forum post...at least in Chrome.

I always found that the "last" link and the final number digit were required parts of the link system. For instance, you wouldn't know how many pages there were if all you saw was 1-8 and last, with the ninth being the actual last page. On the other part of "last" logic, it makes both a spare button and a bigger button to press to reach the last index. There are times when I ALWAYS hit the "second to last" number, because I use a mobile, until I either zoom in or manually try to click the "last" button.

So, in shorthand: the number is to show you the true end, the last button is so you can actually press the link to the end. As for your FR , I have to say I agree, because of my previous example.

Ah, I had forgot about that.
I always have something like thirty tabs open, so all I see is the icons.

Requested admin features

Requested feature: being able to fill in the fields of the mass edit tool via the url.

Why it would be useful: that way you can keep links to the mass edit tool and instantly activate it (very useful for resolution and ratio tagging).

Requested feature: a list of Handled by on the ticket page.

Why it would be useful: quick oversight on which admin handled what (and when).

Requested feature: a "ticket claim" feature to indicate that an admin is looking into the ticket without giving users more mail by putting it on Under Investigation.

Why it would be useful: this way it won't happen that two or more admins work on the same ticket and as result create duplicate DMails, records or bans plus all the extra DMails both the submitter of the ticket and the accused receive.

Requested feature: an "un-allias/implication" suggestion feature.

Why it would be useful: this way users can suggest these more easily and they don't get lost.

Is there any schedule about making a new tag prefix for gender tags? Or any reason of not doing so? I saw there are many requests about this here and there already, so my sentence ends.
Links: 1 2 3 4 5

Updated by anonymous

Requested feature:
Random button will exclude any tags you have blacklisted
Why it would be useful:
So people who use the random button do not see things they do not wish to.

(Unsure if anyone's suggested this before, sorry if they have)

Requested feature: Thumbnails that enlarge on mouseover in tag edit history
Why it would be useful: Easier to spot erroneous edits

I wrote a userscript that enlarges pretty much any thumbnail on mouse over while shift is held. If more people are interested i can upload it.

That sounds useful. Feel free to do so.

(Sorry if this is double posted, iOS is evil and reloaded the page without letting me finish typing.)

Requested feature:
Yes this has been requested hundreds of times but please make the down and up vote buttons larger and/or spaced further apart, or allow us to change our vote, or pop up an "are you sure" dialogue box when we click down vote on a comment.

Why it would be useful:
Accidentally down voting comments is too easy on this site especially for those of us on a mobile device.

Updated by anonymous

Requested feature:
Instead of a vote tally which displays the cumulative vote score (eg. 9down + 2up = 7down) display both as an independent tally (eg. 9 down and two up)

Why it would be useful:
because people sometimes vote based on their preferences. it's also possible for something to be really liked and really hated at the same time. Something may appear less like because allot of people don't like the subject.
