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.

1. X +5

3. X +5
4. Z +5
5. D +12
6. X +Buyout
7. Artist deletes X

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You should be able to send messages in a way that will cause them to be eventually expunged from the database after a set period of time (months or years—the shortest option should probably be at least a couple weeks.)

Thinking about privacy and security in the long term, one of the most potentially harmful things that could be gleaned from a compromise of an individual's FN account is the Messages conversations they're party to (as either sender or recipient). This is not just about RL-identifying information (like telling an artist your real-name PayPal email address, or providing info for a room share at a con with someone), but also discussions of non-public personal interests, etc...

Implementing an option to delete messages manually does not address this concern, unless it's done such that any participant in a messages conversation can cause the message to be removed from all participant's view on the site. (If FN did choose to go that route with message deletion and work out a timed two-phase delete so abuse can still be investigated—that'd be awesome!)

Anyway, I think it would be great if there was an option to send a message with a (long-term) self-destruct timer such that eventually, barring the occurrence of a particular administrative reason to preserve specific users' data (abuse case/subpoena/etc...), all copies of the message would be deleted in time, disappearing first from both the sender and recipients' view of the site and later from the database entirely.

This is not about guarding against malicious intent on the part of any participant in a private conversation. Trying to secure content against the intent of someone you're sending it to is a complete waste of time, so please don't bother bringing up "but they can screenshot it" lines of reasoning about this. This is about making it so that your intent to have a message be ephemeral can be clearly communicated and automatically executed. (The will of people you're chatting with are not the threat this (or anything) can guard against—it's all about the bastards who get passwords from hacking some other site then get into your correspondent's FN account because of password re-use.)

Thank-you :3

When the import for FA was finished I never received an e-mail, but more importantly, the stuff gets put in drafts with no indication. The least that can be done is writing that imported items end up in drafts, but an on-site notification on top of the e-mail would be nice.
