Resized images are pixelated (Feed, icons, profile banners etc)
Images on the "feed" page (and many other places, it turns out) look pixelated from resizing, when the original image is small.
Example - this submission: https://beta.furrynetwork.com/artwork/414237/black-iron-tarkus-vday/
Full image .JPG (smaller than 2500x1500, so original sized):
Resized 750x350px preview for feed page:
Something weird is going on during resize. Any chance of a fix?
Circles and Sharing with specific people
This is an idea coming from Google Plus, though I never really used it (G+ that is).
Seems Quite intuitive though:
When posting a submission, it would be amazing for the person submitting it, to promote and/or change visibility to specific groups/users. This goes hand in hand with the already suggested "group" feature.
For instance, this could work the following way: Patrons on Patreon can see pictures first (delayed publication might also be an option here, for instance to support regular comic page releases), friends can see submissions first, long term/recurring commissioners see content first, etc. Or Commission can only be seen by friends because it is personal, etc. There are a lot of different scenarios to utilize such a feature.
More informative texts on the site to tell new users "what's this?" and "how does it work?"
Just some simple, short informative texts on the site, to inform new users about features, what they do, how they work and what they are for. Since a new user's account is empty, there is a lot of potential space.
For example: When you click on the dropdown menu and go to tickets, tell the user what tickets are and how they work. Or explain how the characters feature works.
This should give new and inexperienced users a better overview, a good first impression and can help to experience the site and its features more easily.
Ability to disable banner / Optional banner sizes
Once a banner has been uploaded, you cannot revert it to the original new-account state of being black, small and generally out of the way. (Default) It would be great if you could change the size for your banner as well, currently I personally find it to be quite large. (Different size options decided by the site would be fantastic). I would love to possibly allow for a text overlay on banners as well, however, that may invalidate the custom fields.
This is mostly a personal preference for my own account, I would like to disable my own banner until I come up with something, or to simply make it a little bit cleaner looking.
It could be good to allow disabling banners across the entire site for others who simply prefer a username and icon.
Infinite Scrolling Jumps Around
Often when I'm scrolling, the list of images will jump around as the infinite scrolling algorithm unloads an incorrect number of images from the top of the list, rather than only those that got scrolled off, triggering the browser to re-layout the images. It gets very disorienting having to scroll back up a bit to find where I left off, and sometimes that even triggers the list to re-load those images causing the list to be moved around again.
Thanks to everyone who reported this. This bug should now be fixed!
If it's not, and you encounter it again, let me know - and I'll both reopen the bug, and bring it up with our development team! (Please include 'steps to reproduce', if you find them).
Folders for Favorites
Just like you can add your own artwork into collections, it would be cool to be able to add favorites to different folders. Such as I'd love to separate art by inpsiring pieces and drawings made for me, so I can quickly find what I'm looking for from there.
When faving, if you have more than the default folder it could give you a dropdown of the folders when you press the favorite button so you can choose right away which folder to place the favorite to.
Click on someone's name on a Notification to go to their profile page
Sometimes it's nice to go and look at the page of someone who commented or promoted your piece. I think that when you click on the name or icon of someone on your notifications, it would be nice to take you to their page!
Ability to share my collection of favorites/view others' collections of favorites
One of the best ways I have found to discover art and artists is to browse a friend's favorites. I notice that isn't currently possible here. Can we have the option to share our favorites collections, and the ability to view those that have been made public?
Story Icons
I've poked around a bit, but I haven't been able to find anyt other posts on the subject.
Has the topic of story icons or cover art been brought up? Because, while I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover or a story by its icon, a lot of people do. I feel like the story system could be more robust if this feature was added. It could also help make the stories a little more unique. Right now, the story section is a little bland.
Community tab chat room
A live place directly on the site for people to just hop in and out chat, could have SFW and NSFW rooms
