If a user is unfollowed, remove their submissions from "What's New" feed.
If I follow X user and they have submitted 100 pieces of art that are in my "What's New" feed, remove those 100 pieces automatically if I choose to unfollow X user instead of forcing me to manually close every window with their art in it in the "What's New" feed. I like this feed and find it useful, but this feature would be handy, especially since the importer is making it so a lot of artists are submitting hundreds of pieces all at once right now.
This is a technically difficult problem - though we do have some changes in the works that should make it a little less necessary.
For example, the import tool is no longer going to spam 'what's new' when someone you follow imports a bunch of stuff - which should help clear this up a lot. In addition, we're looking to make it optional for users to 'notify' their followers when they publish something - again, which should help with spam.
Closing for now - as hopefully the import changes will fix this for the most part!
Introduce in user activity or type to better distinguish between artist and commissioner.
We need option to better filter our commissioners from artists, the current system present currently doesn't do it and it makes it extremely hard to figure out who is an actual artist. (Usually this information is only visible on submissions.)
Always display next submission button when viewing a single item.
Sometimes when we go onto a single item by following a link or opening it in a new tab there are chances that the navigation bar next to the user's name will be missing, and have to be re-opened in the same page in order to appear.
Custom YCH Pages
Add a new feature for YCHs that allows a user to start an auction and give a sample image. Instead of someone submitting art in the normal way and having people post their bids as a normal shout or comment, they would click a button to bid an amount with a buy out button there as well.
Now the artist that uploads and stars this YCH will specify a minimum amount, and a buyout amount. They will specify how many slots and name these slots too, and these slots will each show their own buttons. Perhaps you can also make it so they can specify a minimum and buyout per slot too. Example: 3 slot YCH with "Bottom" "Middle" "Top" slots where middle has a $10 less minimum and less buyout because the character is barely visible in it.
The artist can also specify a minimum up amount, so you can't bid $60.01 when the previous user bid $60. Say, the artist specifies a minimum increment of $5. Now you can add a +Min button, where users can click +Min and bid $5 more than the last guy with a 30 second cooldown on it both as a script that disables the button and server side so they can't simply refresh the page to get the button back. The amount should be actively updating too so that they don't click +5 when 3 other people had posted bids prior to him clicking that. I know that there are good scripts out there that can keep all browsers that have that page loaded synced with the newest number but, thats up to you.
When buyout has been reached, it locks that slot to the user who won it, and informs the artist that a slot has been filled. The artist can then discuss this slot with the user and decide if they should null out his bids or not. If he wants something the artist refuses to do for example, the artist can click "cancel bidder's bids" which forbids him from bidding again on the same slot and erases each bid he did, adjusting each bid before it accordingly or even lowering each bid between all of his to the minimums.

Yea, I'm bad at giving examples I guess. But I hope that at least some of what I have suggested here today would go to use, even if this last particular option here doesn't get used exactly as I described it. :P
What's New List View "Clear this submission from your feed" bug
When viewing "What's New" in List View,:
If I clear the submissions currently loaded in my feed with the "clear this submission from my feed" button the last few submissions I clear are reloaded in my feed when I go to load more submissions.
Reverse the follow icons on profiles.
When looking at my profile page, instead of showing the icons for the newest people who have followed me or that I have followed, it is showing the icons for the oldest. When new people follow me, I don't see who it is unless I open up the list all the way. I would just suggest to reverse this like other sites, so newest are displayed first.
Art Zoom-in Handling
Not quite sure where to put this, it's not quite a bug, but it's not a praise either.
When clicking on art to zoom in you will have definitely notice at least one of two things;
One, art only zooms in in the dimensions of the original image, it won't expand the viewing area accordingly. I find this really awkward for viewing an image, especially when some of the images don't fill my browser screen, and only need a bit of enlarging to be at full size.
Two is that when clicking on an image to zoom in, it actually loads a new page instead of just overlaying the image file on-top, like it appears to. I'm not sure if this is just a temporary measure, but it also seems a bit weird that that is the style FN has decided to use.
I would like to suggest they change these systems to be a bit less awkward. Have the images zoom in to their new dimensions, instead of viewing a now huge image in the confines of the original size, and updating the site to a version where the page doesn't re-load to a new page when you want to zoom in.
Just a thought.
Activity Streem behaving differently if a link is being posted, CSS broken.
See in my activity stream. There is an entry titled "Music" with a link to a youtube Video.
The link seems to cause the CSS to act weirdly, on top you can't click the link it opens the entry where you can click it.

[Manage Submissions] Filter by tags no longer works
When in the Manage Submissions interface, the "filter by tags" field on the left no longer does anything. Whatever tags I put in there, nothing changes in the grid. I used this previously to help create most of my folders, but now it does nothing.
A Hobbies section would make this site stand out more as a Social Network and Art Site.
I was thinking an additional tab with a drop down menu of various hobbies and you click it and it takes you to a page for submissions tied to that via a hobby tag. Ex. "Hobby:Sports" Or let us post directly to that hobby's page.
I realize the site already has Tag searching in each Media's tab. But for them to have their own section on the menu would help the site keep a social media image and not just art. Also that way you click one hobby and it would list all kinds of submissions related to that hobby on one page. How it is now you would have to click a form of media then type the tag restricting it to results just in that media.
I'm pretty sure we all have interests outside the fandom and having a place to talk about those would be nice. People could talk about their hobbies and things they do that don't necessarily have anything to do with the fandom. Having a news section would be cool too.
If a hobbies tab get's added here some suggestions: Sports, Entertainment, Music, Gaming, and News.
Sorry if this came off a bit rambling, I haven't been here for long and I wanted to make this seem like a good idea without messing with the site too much. There are already a lot of just art sites, I thinking having more emphasis on social media might help it stand out more.
