Add profile rating to profile page
As I was digging through the new users, I found users who were improperly tagged as General with adult avatars and banners. Following a chain of users with similar avatars, I found another user with the same, but they had marked their profile as 18+. I flagged the profile as I did the others, but had no idea that they were already marked until finding them in the pile of fresh users eventually.
Having a little icon somewhere on the profile page itself, unobtrusive to the rest of the page but there for confirmation purposes, would make mistakingly reporting profiles happen less, I feel.
This is a bit of a touchy subject; while having that could help in terms of moderation, it would also brand accounts as being mature. That might not be a problem - after all, users are choosing to upload mature images for their profile picture.
There are likely reasonable ways that we could cover this through moderation without have an intrusive system; having moderators who primarily look at general art, for example, would likely help us catch those profiles faster.
External Website Links in FN Profile
Many furs can be found in numerous places on the internet, primarily Twitter and Facebook. Having a specific place on the FN profile for external links would help furs connect with other FN users offsite. Currently, you can create a custom profile block for social media sites, but that could get clunky and inconsistent from profile to profile (eg. one user might have one block per external site link while another user has one block for all external site links), and having an option for external links will help users remember to include the links on their profiles.
At this point, the custom profile blocks are the best way. Not everyone wants or even likes external links, and we want to give users the freedom to customize their profiles as they see fit.
Artist type on profile page
would be good thing to be able to see on the profile page when viewer comes there to be able to see what kind of art artist mostly/usually does and would be also good way to spot those who just commission others or watches only. kinda like Furaffinity has used and as a default setting for new registering user the default type would be Watcher un-till he/she changes it from the settings
How to import art from Furaffinity?
I cannot for the life of me, figure out how to do this, I've searched the help topics and all I've found, is topics pertaining to switching back to classic mode to import, however I see no option for that either, can anyone help?

You're not the first to miss it, don't worry! I've had to point a couple friends in the right direction as well.
You Should be Able To Stream Your Webcam
I think it would be cool if furries with fursuits can stream themselves, kind of like YouNow, using their webcam to a audience. This can give some furries more popularity and they can show off their amazing fursuits
We don't have plans to have streaming directly to the site, but we're looking at integration with other streaming sites.
[Furry Network Webpages | Site Ideas] Furry Network Front Page / Welcome Page
Request:
The conversion of Furry Network site URL (currently beta.furrynetwork.com) from Character Feed to a Homepage or Front Page.
Implementation:
Replace the Furry Network site URL destination with a proper homepage, and move user feed to another URL (user.furrynetwork.com for example [please excuse my lack of technical knowledge]).
Reasoning:
To me, Furry Network feels a bit disorganized, which is I think brought about by the fact that there is no clear frontpage to say:
'Hey! Welcome to our website! Wow, look at the 10 newest submissions, here's some site info and the latest update and details about the upcoming update!'
A front page, in my opinion, would be a huge benefit for everyone.
- It could tell people what the site is all about, and persuade non-members to become members.
- Obviously this would be more helpful after the site is more public
- It would help artists get noticed.
- I honestly don't see any way of gaining followers besides having friends and word of mouth, and I think it's a healthy way to make sure that the site is more of a community than just the most well-known artists that people would think to look up.
- It would unify the site by bringing you a page that everyone sees, with minor user-personal modifications to it to provide a better experience.
I think that having a place that is semi familiar to many people would go far in having more people adopt this site rather than sticking to an alternative simply because the site brings so many new ideas along with an alien layout and just isn't your average artist site.
While I'm not advocating to become just like other sites, there are reasons why dA, Weasyl, FA, InkBunny, and SoFurry have certain similarities, and that's because I think finding something that works and that people understand and tweaking it to perfection is how we get great things.
The front page of Weasyl, for example, being able to request critique and have a Tweet sent with your submission's link from the WeasylCritique account, along with having a submission on the front of the page until it got bumped by newer submissions was probably the single best thing a site could have done for exposure.
I know I talk a lot about exposure, and sure it's something I think everyone needs, it's a great way for me to explore the fandom I love so much and just find really amazing creations by really amazing people.
A better part of discovery comes from when I already have a goal in mind... I have to upload a submission or something, but something on a front page catches my eye and I go on a huge spree of checking out different artists just based on the art that sidetracked me in the first place.
Hopefully this is taken into consideration. I'm all in on this site and genuinely think, once things are a bit more smoothed out, that this could actually be the downfall of FA, especially by making things like Commissions easier and even having a fun system for that purpose.
The site has undergone some large changes, and the home page currently shows the most recent submissions. At this point, we want people to be able to access what they want a quickly as possible, and a greeting page would likely make this more difficult. We do want new users to be able to gain an audience, though, and we'll be discussing other ways this could be possible.
Make it more clear what PG13 according to the MPAA
This is probably one of my biggest pet peeve when it comes to art sites. Some of the stuff in the Popular section of the site is not PG-13 (focusing on butts, lude poses). To me, that's indicating that the users of the site don't know the rules.
The MPAA's criteria for PG-13 should posted on the rules page and a link to it the rules page should be obvious on the upload page.
Thank you for your concern.
We have our own criteria already created for this issue, and apart from a few minor changes, we feel it has been doing a good job. If in doubt, it can be flagged or reported for us to verify.
We're actually in the process of revising our policies slightly, and should be releasing an updated version of the Code of Conduct soon. Hopefully this is suitable.
Telegram watch bot
There's an fa watching bot for people to be able to get updates of what people are uploading/posting; designing something that hooks in with an oAuth to verify users would be pretty nifty.
We do plan on releasing an API as we get closer to the official release of the site. However, we don't currently have plans to develop a bot for this purpose. Other users would be welcome to create tools that they find useful when we have that available for them.
Quick Submission Management Buttons
Individually opening every single imported piece, scrolling all the way down, and selecting either "unlisted" or "draft" really slows the process down when trying to clear out the trash from a long way back. There ought to be quick status-change and deletion buttons in the corners of submission thumbnails.
At this point, we do have a way to make all drafts public, and it's also possible to select the images you want to delete and delete all those.
