"FN Connect" 1-Click Login API w/ TFA -- "verified accounts of <username>" section

SeiRruf 9 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 9 years ago 2

Inspiration:
The more FurryNetwork (FN) develops, the more potential I see in it as a center outlet for furries, globally. Being able to interface everything, and create our own "Google" of things. Remembering passwords for each begins to be more of a hassle than not, unless you're using a password safe. But what other furry communities allowed you to log-in the same way you would log-in to other networks, at the click of a button?


Suggestion Details:

* FN could eventually have a "Login with FurryNetwork" (or link a FN account) API which other furry communities can implement into their existing websites. This would be secured to a level of protection making it safe to use, even if someone's FN login credentials were compromised by making use of Two Factor Authentication (TFA) either by phone number, or email, if set up by the user. EDIT: (found TFA already suggested here, but my suggestion goes a bit more into detail with verification and 1-click logins)


* FurryNetwork could provide the option for users to link/import details from their already owned furry/social accounts, and services owned and ran by Varka (e6, f-list, etc). Which would show up on their profile as "Verified accounts of <username>" (of course having the user log-in to these accounts through FN to verify them). This would further help eliminate impersonators, as the account holders could have all their official accounts verified and listed on what could soon be the worlds most popular Furry Network.


Summary:

I see FN as being a one-stop place for everything Furry. Offering ways of other networks to interact with FN could have a large positive impact on the network overall. I found another suggestion Here. "Verified Accounts" while searching this that may also aid in the whole "verified accounts of <username>" section. A selling point for FN where users can feel they can escape from those trying to impersonate them.


Importance:

This is a low-priority suggestion, which definitely can be implemented after launch. I feel the more FN reaches out to other networks, the more universal and accepted it will begin to feel.

Answer

This doesn't seem like it could be a possibility at the moment. This would need a large amount of reworking to the current site to implement, and it could take multiple years to negotiate this with other furry sites; in addition, they'd need to change coding on their end, and there's no guarantee other sites would want that. We also don't see a huge demand for something like this. If we do get to the point where this would be greatly beneficial to others, we could revisit this idea.

URL: [Object object] bug found under Messages when clicking receivers username.

SeiRruf 9 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 9 years ago 3 2 duplicates

I recently noticed a quick bug which did not clear after clearing my cache, with several refreshes. This bug is minor, but serves as an inconvenience. I was able to reproduce it by sending a fresh new message, which may eliminate caching all together.


Replicating:

  1. On FurryNetwork, navigate to your messages (/conversations/).
  2. Click on/Open an existing message sent or received (if none, send one).
  3. In the body area of the message, click on the receiver's username above the body of the message.
  4. You should end up at the following URL: https://beta.furrynetwork.com/[object%20Object]/


I believe this is due to recent programming updates, which may have gone uncaught after changing the structure to the Objects used to handle usernames/profile urls.


Other Information:
System - Windows 7

Browser - Chrome, with JS enabled

Adblock - Disabled


I hope I filled this correctly with enough information to reproduce and correct this bug for the developers.

Answer

The site has undergone some changes. At this point, clicking on the name above the conversation will take you to the user's profile.

Maybe icons and fonts seem a bit big for me

mindbcomplex 9 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 9 years ago 1

I know nothing about web design, but everything feels clamped together imo. The design itself is awesome, but feels like the buttons and designated spaces take a lot for themselves. And I can perfectly read smaller fonts.

So that's my feedback, I'm sorry if I sound rude.

Answer

We've had some significant site redesigns to make better use of the space. At this point, we're close to having this finalized.

Using href Tags When Specifying Where A User Should Go

Hyginx 9 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 8 years ago 1

This is more of a user-friendly addition than a bonus feature. One of the quickest ways to lose a customer/user is to make it hard for them to find what they are searching for. It is because of this that I think it would be a good idea to either replace the direction to a page and instead use a tag to direct to it, or just adding it to the desired destination (i.e. "Settings -> Control Panel -> Site Layout/Theme" and adding an href to Site Layout/Theme that links to the page).

I love where this site is going and can't wait for it to be released tot he world.


Best of luck,


- Hyginx

Knowledge bases doesn't work

Teya 9 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 9 years ago 1

Hey there! :)

I wanted to take a look at the Knowledge Bases to be able to use Furrynetwork in the right way. The only thing is: There isn't something be shown. There is nothing in general. Is it because I use Firefox or didn't you add some things there?


Lovely greetings from

Teya <3

Answer

Articles at this point have not been added to the Knowledge Base. These will be updated as time goes on. No changes to the Knowledge Base structure are needed.

See Latest Art?

IJrges 9 years ago updated by Rykomi (Support Admin) 9 years ago 4

When I go to my front page I only see posts by artists I'm following, and my buttons on the bottom only take me to popular posts, which haven't changed hardly in months. How in the heck do I see a feed of just the latest submissions (by chronology)? I want to browse art to find artists, but I cannot find artists as long as only the same images are visible.

Seach for artwork with any of the tags you enter instead of all of them.

trecneps 9 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 9 years ago 1

This could just be a checkbox by the search box. Or there could be 2 fields to type in. One would be "artwork with all of these tags" and the other would be "artwork with any of these tags."

Additionally, I think it would be helpful if an advance search was added.

Example, say I want to look at male characters, but only wolves and foxes. I could enter in something along the lines of "male AND (wolf OR fox)" to find only male characters that are either wolves or foxes.

Answer

At this point, there hasn't been a large amount of demand for the "or" function. We are looking into improvements for the tagging system, though; once those are out, if there is more demand for this function, we can look into what it takes to implement that.

Infinite scrolling does not unload posts after they leave the screen

Asonix 9 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 9 years ago 1

In order to improve efficiency, posts and images and stuff no longer visible (scrolled past) should be unloaded (just removed from the page probably) to preven the browser from freezing and crashing after trying to render too many elements.

Answer

At this point, previous posts are unloaded in order to prevent the crashing described in this idea. This definitely has helped with stability.

Encrypt support.furrynetwork.com

Due to the option of logging in via this unencrypted URL instead of beta.furrynetwork.com, it would be wise to extend that TLS 1.2 encryption to this subdomain.

Collapsible tag search pane

Songbird 9 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 9 years ago 1

When viewing galleries, I would be appreciate the option (arrow icon) to collapse the search pane on the right into a thin strip, using the same icon to revert it to its full size.


Presently, I can only see three rows and five columns of thumbnails on my regular-sized laptop monitor, the least amount of thumbnails at a glance between FN, Fur Affinity, e621, SoFurry, and Inkbunny. Refreshing thumbnails to fit the additional space when the tag search element is collapsed would make browsing artwork more comfortable for someone accustomed to the higher information density offered by competing image gallery websites.

Answer

The site has had a significant redesign since that time. While only a few rows can be seen, the thumbnails are now compact, and this makes it easier to view a large amount of thumbnails at a time.
