Add a Top-level Audio/Music Section?
I'm a little confused how the Multimedia Section's taxonomy is intended to work.
Other sites like the FA or DeviantArt model falls into the trap of having a labyrinth of subcategories. Conversely, Booru sites' tag-based system makes no distinction between different categories of media. FurryNetwork seems to be using both Categories AND Tags.
The tag system works a little cleaner in artwork than the multimedia section. For instance if I go to the Artwork section and type "music" into the tag filter, it will return pictures that have to do with music (assuming the artist included that tag in zir submission). But... if I go into the Multimedia section and type the "music" tag, so far only 9 submissions return.. but I know darn well there are more than 9 songs uploaded to the site. :) If I type "video" only TWO submissions are returned...
So how do we deal with the Multimedia section? Do we make tons of subcategories? It would become quite the slew of them.
As far as the Audio/Music category goes, I'm very much in favor if giving that art form its own section entirely. Two reasons for this:
- Just like art, photography or stories, audio alone does not constitute multimedia; you have to have more than one element combined (e.g.: art and sound, or photo and sound) for it to be multimedia. Therefore, just like artwork, stories, or photos, audio constitutes its own category/section.
- All the audiophiles and furry musicians would love you for it! It would be the first of its kind--an entire section dedicated JUST to that art form. That's never been done before since the Furry Music Foundation created its site back in the 1990's. They've been attempting to get off the ground for years, so this would be a big step in helping that effort.
That's actually a really big usability issue - not being able to tell types of submission from one another.
Perhaps adding a dropdown to the search form - say, "Show only...." with a dropdown (All, Music, Video, Animations/Games)?
Clicking on a link in your feed should open a new tab.
Basically everything the header says. Clicking on a link in a post(Not a submission!) should open a new tab instead of changing the page you're on. It'd just be a helpful quality of life change.
Import Tool for FA does not import all submissions it finds no matter how they are categorized on FA
I gave the import a spin a couple of times. The first time it found nothing. Turns out this was because all my stuff was in scraps. After I moved everything to my main gallery the import tool found all 116 submissions. However, it only imported 91 of them. I tried again and it grabbed some extras but not all of them and created duplicates.
Next, I cleared my gallery here after ensuring everything was gone and gave it another try. It still found 116 submissions but this time only imported 88 of them. The first time around it got them in order, I was just missing several submissions but as of the latest import things were put out of order.
Sort feed by ascending/descending
This is a convenience feature for anyone who likes to look at all images in their inbox/feed. Viewing the oldest first helps make sure nothing gets buried.
being able to search a tag for all submissions within a catagory besides popular and feash
Hoping to see something added to see all the postings with a tag search on the furry network website. being limited to just popular and fresh hurts finding submissions that don't fit in the current choices.
FA import duplicates existing submissions instead of syncing
My fa gallery after being imported is not snynched up with new gallery posts.
If this isn't a feature it should be. If it's a bug it needs to be fixed.
Edited the title / the word ordering on your post a little bit, to help more people find this topic!
The FA importer right now duplicates existing submissions when you run the import again, instead of just syncing over the ones which are new. This used to work properly, but appears to be a new bug. It's something we're committed to fixing though!
Voting for this, as I've experienced it myself!
At 2560x1440, /artwork/ endless scrolling never triggers
When viewing an /artwork/ page in chrome maximized at 2560x1440, the "Loading more results" bar is already visible on initial page load and there's nowhere to scroll to, which seems to prevent endless scrolling from ever triggering in the first place. Workaround is to temporarily shrink and then restore the window, but it would be nice if it could either load more images initially or at least trigger the first endless scroll population on page load in large resolutions.
How to escape @ symbol?
I'm making a second story entry (tutorial) and I faced a problem when liking to required sources.
The links in question contain @ symbol and stylizing breaks at it, whenever I try to neatly put the link behind a descriptive word [name](link) or just having the bare link.
The only solution I found was to put spaces on both sides of the symbol and ask people to copypaste the whole link and remove spaces but that's stupid.

Keyword Alias + hierarchy in tagging / search (like e621)
Like e621
When something is tagged "fox" it will automatically get the tags canine, mammal.
similarly the words foxes, vulpine, vulpes, fawx could be grouped that they mean fox as well.
a proper aliasing can make searches much simpler, so we have to search for only 1 keyword instead of often 3+ variations.
real full view?
It's pretty bummer that both the display image size and the "full" view are apparently dependent on your monitor's aspect ratio. I sort of expected that the full view would actually let me see the full aspect image, not the scaled down one.
&& With this alleged "zoom" function effectively not existing for anyone on a non-touch laptop, it means all I get to see are the dinky views allowed to my ~16'' monitor.
I don't want to dl every image I want to see full size, and clicking "view image" is two clicks too many for something that the site should just natively do. I want "full view" to actually show me the full image, that's all.
