Okay.... Looks like I've gotten everything done for the main system.. Got to go into testing then I'll throw up the release canidate for you guys to try :3

---Old---
Too many ideas now have dripped by and too many requests have been forgotten. So I'm making a wish list now for the things that people want, admins and users please post everything you want done here. We already are in a Version 3 revision, though it's just feature porting for now.

and since the suggestion box is cluttered to the point I can't read it.

Things so far getting worked on

Things scrapped

-Optional #thumb side responses to images (kinda like what 4chan does) (we have enough distractions from the image, might just make an emphasizer for thumbs)
-Redo login system for easier recovery/stricter registration (voted down by staff)

Things done

-remake mascot changer(for all of site)
-Request system for name changes and comment deletions and pm abuse and reporting users
-setup default blacklist to "Safe only", quick change safe and unsafe modes
-Anonymous blacklisting
-Create updated Post system
-Send reason with mail
-add updated time to pool
-Bug repair color code for takedown
-improve user record system
-Repair Paginator
-replace tag subscriptions with something useful/working (favorite queries) (ended up just repairing the subscriptions)
-Internalize News
-build automated maintanence task (for tags and stuff)
-takedown submission form
-remove staff password recovery
-create email/username lookup for admins
-add edits and alias/implications to mod actions
-New GUI (I need footer, background and Iris images from the mascot artist people) -completed... sans images
-Fix thumbnails showing the big no-no -completed, waiting for packing
-find the broken daemon elements and repair them Only broken daemon is already slated for repair.
-Redo the entire help page to be e621 oriented. -completed, waiting for packing
-timestamps -completed, waiting for packing
-moderation logs -complete, waiting for packing
-Super Secret Project beta for those at furry booru -complete, waiting for packing

Oh, btw.. the codebase being worked on is lovingly dubbed "Ouroboros." Since I'm sure to be biting my own tail with this project XD This officially retires Arcturus's code, to preserve the old teams edits, and to be able to merge code with the official source if needed.

If I get permission from the rest of the staff, I'd love to make this an open source project down the line. Though I'd like the teams permission first.

Note, besides the above, this marks the 1.0 release of Ouroboros. Anything additional will be either a maintanence patch or an extension. The reason for the extensions is to keep the main program "Clean" and "No additional Flavor", while this is the focus of e621 originally, we have grown to need more. I'm sorry Arcturus, but most of the extensions will be integrated into e621 eventually.

-Extensions

* Dtext2
* BorosForums
* Wiki2
* ProfilePlus (For 20pc only)

We have a suggestion box? Anyway, forum timestamps. And change the viewing of a user's deleted posts to the deleted index, not a post search.

How about working tags on the post moderation page? Also, a way to skim through your favorites with a 'next' 'previous' and/or 'random' button? The one in there now tracks through regular posts according to the order they were uploaded.

Here's a thought: is it currently possible, by any means, to search by size? The site clearly keeps up with it, as you can see the file dimensions on each page... but there doesn't seem to be a way to search for it.

Why would one? well... it'd make it a lot easier to find wallpapers, for example. It'd make it a lot easier to populate the 4:3 and 16:9 tags. (the whole wallpaper/widescreen/ratio area needs a little cleaning up in general(for example, 16:9_(aspect ratio) is currently aliased to 'wide screen', while 1920x1280 implies 16:9.... when 16:9_(aspect_ratio) should alias to 16:9 which should imply widescreen. ) )

Of course, arguably that's not the focus on this sight and it's a bit offtopic, but it WOULD be nice to search by size... presuming there's not a way to do that already.

Yes. So that the tags are properly colored and they bring up the correct page for the specified tag.

Also,

http://e621.net/post?tags=fav%3Askeeter

Did you do anything here? I noticed that it's still the same.

Just for the sake of clarification, let me reiterate my self.

There are already the 'Next', 'Previous', and 'Random' buttons under where it says Related Posts. Those buttons work fine when used to move from post to post in chronological order according to order of upload to the site. What I was asking was, is there a way that those three buttons could instead navigate through your own favorites from your own favorites page, or would separate buttons be needed? I was also asking if that could be implemented.

Bring the comment flagging system back pls :3

Also, before 2.2, the was a count of how many comments and forum posts a user had made on their profile... can we bring that back? I have to click the "View" to know if they even have any comments/forum posts.

And perhaps a way of searching posts by tag count?

Not sure if that would be entirely useful, since most flashes start out with nondescript images like load screens.

I suppose you could add a field to upload a separate thumbnail for the flash, but I can see that being easily abused.

ITS A TRAAAAAP

Oh yeah, that aside...

My personal request is for a Blacklist system that pushes blacklisted images to the back of the queue(Spelling error?) so that you don't have to go through pages with blank images. <_>
I know that somebody said a technical term for it, but I don't remember what it was...

Since the image system is run in ruby and the blacklist is run on javascript. this ain't gonna happen. :(

and with the flash thumbnail, Maybe in the future, when we get more mods and stuff.

but 1 more question...why it was changed to "download" anyway?

because that's the one included in danbooru's default packaging.. as far as I know. the blacklist and download image follow a suit, add the flash one to match those two and I'll add it in :3

So let me get this straight. You would also like an image that says something like "Blacklisted" ?

Better than empty space.

But if you manage to fill empty space (which originaly should be filled with pictures that are blacklisted) with non blacklist pictures,than there is no purpose for it.

I have no idea how feasible this is, but would it be possible to distinguish between the flash files that are "games" or other animations you have to interact with (ex: post #131983) from the ones that are just animations that go through their loop on their own (ex: post #133057)?

Then the Flash icon could be kept for the "games," whereas for the loops, it could be in the thumbnail.

I <i>would</i> like to see the loop in the thumbnail, if possible. I always avoid anything that says "Download," since I never want to play any of the little games, but of course I then sometimes inadvertently pass over ones that are just animated.

I know I've seen on sites in the past where they have just like a half second loop of the animation in the thumbnail, but I know nothing of coding, so I don't know how that works.

I'm not sure bro.Games are just interactive flash animations.I don't think there is a way to seperate games from flash ,without doing it manualy.Not sure if its posible do separate .swf videos from games/animations without tagging it 1 by 1.0

Nah, I get that much. I guess I wasn't clear, because the word "interactive" eluded me -facepalm- What I should have said is differentiate the interactive Flash animations from the non-interactive Flash animations. There are many you don't interact with at all, but come up with "Download" in the thumbnail, since they're still Flash.

I still like the idea of a blacklist friendly search- browse full pages w/out blanks-skip blacklisted images and go on to the next one.

flash "games" cannot be differentiated from flash "animations." through coding means.

I guess the only way I could think of that might be possible is like a tick-box when you upload.

"Check this box if this is an interactive animation" or something that directs whether it gets the "Flasth" thumbnail or not. But that's probably more hassle than it's worth for everyone, and of course there's no guarantee it'd get ticked. It'd have to be something people could edit on the posts, too.

Bah, forget it. Too much trouble lol.

Tags can do the job.
Flash_game = "Game" icon
animated = "Animation" icon
video = "Video" icon

Tags are in no way reliable for making a thumbnail for a post. What if it has none of those tags? What if it has two or three?

I really like the darker colors and rounded edges, but I think the pages might need a little buffer from the top. theres too little space between the browser and the links.

Also, a slight modification on the comments, I think it might look a little better if the comments were set in the same way the java IRC page works. with the text sitting on top of a light blue field. Just some suggestions, they might look horrible, or might make the page look better.

after several days of looking at the sight, I have to say I like the changes, over all. they took some getting used to, but it's generally very pleasing. it looks much better then before :)

the only crit I have is that the color difference between a visited link and an unvisted link isn't nearly enough. This really only matters on the forums and in a few other places... but It took me quite a bit of staring to try and figure out WHY some of the links seemed like they were a slightly different color then the rest.

a different color--a few shades darker--or perhaps a darker gray blue?--might be a better option.

my 2 cents :)

Actually in the latest update (not applied yet) I made them the same color, 'cause it was just annoying having half of the text a different color and I didn't think anyone made use of it.

What about having a link to the forum on the front page, along with the "Posts", "Comments" etc?

Edit: I see that it's there if you click the "more," arrow, but I think it'd be useful to be on the home page itself.

Please provide an API function to retrieve a single post. When calling the post/index.xml, I want to pass something like "?ID=123456" to get the metadata of a specific post. Until now I had to do ugly HTML parsing to get the infos out of the actual post page, which is a pain in the buttocks, and takes up too much bandwidth and performance.

Oh! nonono, that's a wonderful option too. I really, really don't care if I've clicked on someone's name recently, if I've viewed the first page of a thread in the last couple of weeks, or if I've checked out a tag, or similar recently. I just figured that having everything the same just wasn't possible. :)

I fix this problem by bookmarking the forum, myself. it's sort of a sideways fix, but there you go. it WOULD be nice to see more options on the front page.

I like it. The gently striped backgrouns is far more subtle then the current bright white lines... though I might increase the contrast between the 'light' and 'dark' rows slightly more, but that may be a side effect of my monitor getting older. It'd also be pretty cool if that effect could also be brought into the forum itself..

I think, anyway. I could be totally wrong too.

anyway, if nothing else, looks very awesome and refined. :D
