Automatic Blacklisted Tags
I'm really not sure if this was a bug or it was just automatically put there by default, but I seemed to suddenly have some blacklisted tags. I never really added any, but they just randomly appeared there.
Not sure if it happened to anybody else. If it did, I guess it's a default thing, but an explanation would be okay, it's confusing how this suddenly appeared there. Again, I am 100% sure I didn't add these.
Sorry about that - this was our mistake. We screwed up deployment of a new feature, and will be rolling back / removing those default blacklisted tags today.
We'll make sure all the other things needed for this feature to launch are ready, and do it properly next time.
All guests able to open NFSW content (especially underaged) until they create an account?
/title
Basically guests of any age can view NFSW content, but not accounts under 18.
I am not saying allow accounts under 18 to view NFSW work, but ONLY let accounts over 18 view it, excluding guests.
Faster way to browse notifications
Notifications are huge, and often include replies in-line with the notifications scroll. This makes it very slow to read through all new notifications. Can we have the ability to show notifications in a way similar to the browse artwork / photos / stories tabs, where we see notifications in a large grid and can quickly glance through them?
The "What's New" page has significantly changed. Items are now tiled, and it's simple to dismiss the submissions. It's much easier at this point to look through new submissions.
Import tool does not work for users banned from FA.
While not of utmost importance, I've found that users who have been banned from FA are unable to use the import feature. FurryNetwork is precisely the place to look to after one has been burned by Neer's banhammer and I'm sure a more seamless integration for those users would be appreciated.
As the import tool logs into your FA account in order to perform the import, I don't think this is something that's really all that feasible to implement at the moment.
Furry Network does have great drag-and-drop multi upload and edit functionality though:
How to zoom when cropping
How do i zoom in when cropping an image for my icon?
I seem to only be able to crop it a little. Is this a size issue?
Right now, you can zoom in by using the mouse wheel. As far as I can tell, there is no longer a limit for how close you can zoom; I got to the point where a single color filled the entire image.
If you have any future issues, feel free to submit a separate ticket.
DJ Routines & Mixes
I'm not quite sure if the uploading of podcast episodes, shows, or routines that are DJ mixes are accepted.
I am wondering if I'd be able to move some of my shows over from other websites.
This is definitely a bit of a hard topic. Currently, our rules about plagiarism say it includes "[c]reating edits of any work without the original owner or creator’s consent." In general, I would say that anything protected under Fair Use would be fine; however, if large or full portions of songs are used (as in the case of DJ mixes), it would be crossing the line here and would not be allowed unless explicit permission is given.
Improved dynamic filtering.
I absolutely love the system so far, but I think that it could be further improved by including synonyms, and all forms of the words that are put in, so that you can capture and filter out the most of what it is you are trying to avoid seeing.
I find that for quite a few things, that I have to manually enter in as many forms of the thing that I dislike seeing, and I would love to see a more automated system to encompass those ideas.
This is something that seems difficult to implement in a meaningful way. Tags are always going to be changing, and even if we catch most synonyms, some creative spelling is going to slip by. It's something we can look into if there's a large demand in the future.
filters: ideas for more filtering options
After examining the Artwork page, the only thing I can point out for a downside is the lack of filtering options. These are expected to be in the future and I'm eager to see where FurryNetwork will go with filtering options for artwork, photos, written items and videos.
I'm starting this thread for discussion regarding filters for any and all relevant upload items to see if we can come up with. I'd also like to add to this thread some opinions about how filters should work.
The first ideas that came to my mind are:
- Species: from categories (feline, canine, scalie and so on) to sub-species(wolf, husky, golden retriever, ect.)
- General theme / concept: such as Fantasy, Sci-fi, Modern
- Rating: to be calculated according to number of favoritings and promotions divided by days passed since submission upload (this is just a suggestion of a basic concept for a rating system that needs improvement - discussion regarding this idea is also welcome)
Those are just my thoughts. what are yours? make sure to post your opinions and ideas for filtering options and feel free to expand the discussion. Maybe we can come up with something new and different? who knows?
At this point, people are able to search using tags. The one worry I'd have with filters is that most of that can be done just through solid tagging; it's best to keep that simple.
We do have different time periods for popular sorting, and this is being worked on right now to make it work better.
Efficient use of space & Nice looking!
Just because there was zero praises so far. I want to highlight my favorite aspect of FurryNetwork!
Nice looking with efficient use of space. This is one of those rare sites that look fresh and up-to-date while not feeling like everything is massive and wastes space. Today many sites focus solely on the mobile look, but FN has succeeded making the experience great for computer users as well.
I love how artwork tiles on pages, it's a nice experience to scroll through different works - unlike on many other sites where thumbnails seem to float here and there. You've paid attention to both showing artwork big enough and fitting as much thumbnails on one view. Also viewing submissions nicely focuses on the submission itself.
Kind of hoping the feed page would get an update/alternative layout to be more like the rest of the site ^^;
Ability to add a watermark
It would be nice if we could add a standard watermark or a custom. But that may be stupid. I was just suggesting cause my boyfriend and I mostly do sketches and we don't tend to watermark them and the added security would be nice.
In general, we agree with Neotheta on this. Watermarks are a bit tricky - while this does add security, many people will be less likely to share the art. The internet has been doing a much better job at finding the original artist for pieces that are shared; usually, the risk of someone stealing the art and cropping out a signature is worth the potential for attracting new fans.
We'd prefer to leave this up to the artist. They may watermark their work if they want, but it won't be a built-in feature.
