Inactive Accounts
Both Weasyl and Deviantart have sections in their ToS that state "[we] reserve the right to terminate or suspend accounts that are inactive, in [our] sole discretion, for an extended period of time (thus deleting or suspending access to your Content)." in regards to vacant accounts.
I am especially interested in this policy also being implemented into FurryNetwork's ToS, as the issue of people signing in under a particular name and then leaving the account entirely vacant forever after seems to be a common one. This can be especially frustrating when other users would love to acquire those inactive account names.
It looks like everything was taken care of! Let us know if you need anything else.
Kelevra is correct; favorites are private, and promotes are public. We'll likely have some renaming of terms in the future, but this feature is currently in place.
So, what constitutes a 'View' ?
Specifically, we have huge previews of images in our 'what's new?' list (when not in grid view).
From here we can promote, fave, or remove the image from our queue. You can also see 90% of the image plainly.
Are views tabulated simply by viewing it in this manner? I don't think they are. The only way to register a 'view' on a piece is to click into it. And the only thing you can really do by doing that, that you can't immediately do from the 'what's new?' list is comment on it.
So, you could end up with pictures having more faves than views, right? Which is absurd.
So, unless i'm totally wrong about this, i'd like to know what people think on the subject. I know that i'm glancing at artwork in this huge preview, and then closing it. If i don't have something to say on it, that artist doesn't get a view from my interaction, even though i definitely looked at it for a few seconds.
Currently, views are only calculated when looking at a full size image, and it only counts unique views. You are correct that viewing an image in the activity history or What's New feed does not count towards that total.
We're currently going to keep the total count of views the same. However, statistics are interesting, and it could be neat to see the total number of impressions (similar to Twitter) that you get on users' feeds rather than how many clicked to view the full image. After having helped with social media, though, it's clear to me that people engaging with the post (clicking, favoriting, promoting, and downloading) have the greatest influence for establishing a strong following. I think seeing how many people clicked "download" could be helpful.
If we have more demand for these types of statistics later, we can discuss these options with our development team.
Importer Verification?
Could you give some explanation for what the heck that box is even supposed to mean?
There should be a Captcha on the page. If for some reason you don't see that appearing, go ahead and clear out the cache for your web browser; this may help this work.
Please let us know if there are any additional problems.
Import tool immediately fails with no error message.
I enter my info, fill in the captcha, click 'Login and Import', the box vanishes for a second... And then pops right back up, with the same captcha, and no error message explaining why it didn't work.
It's been doing this every single time I've tried, since the captcha was implemented.
The importer has gone on and off due to changes in FA's coding. This has been corrected, and it is now working. If you have any other issues importing, please let us know.
Disable double-click selection (CSS -*-user-select: none) on most non-text items.
.no_selection {
-webkit-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-khtml-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
}
Refresh Button for New Notifications
Maybe have the page notify you that new notifications are available and allow a refresh to see them.
With some redesign, the site now will pop up a notification at the top right of the page to show that you have something new. For now, you will need to click on the drop down menu to see them. I can understand the benefit of the notification page having a live update type feed similar to Twitter; however, this would be a large amount of development without being very useful for users. For now, we aren't going to plan on this, but we could take another look in the future.
Refining or group delete "What's new"
I would like to suggest to add following functions in addition to the "Clear all" button
1. Delete new submission notification from particular artist, or delete all but the latest one from one specific artist.
2. Delete new submission notification older than several weeks/ months/ years.
I can see the benefit of having these other functions, but it would also add on a layer of complication; we'd rather keep this function straightforward so it's not confusing to users.
Submission guide / text parsing macros
I am wondering if FN can do "text parsing macros" in description and journals like FA.
For example:
embed YouTube videos,
show another members icon and names in Description
and <<< PREV | FIRST | NEXT >>> buttons for comic / picture series.
If yes, please add a guide and link at somewhere easy to find when uploading for easier navigation. (Such as in Manage Submissions )

"Importer" Function immediately fails
As of today, whenever I try the Importer function, it immediately fails, with the message:
"Login failed. Please retry"
I am confident that the (new) password and captcha are correct. Though the importer is trying to use my full email address rather than just my fursona name to log in... Perhaps that's the issue? I cannot change this, however. The "username" is locked as the full email address.
Any thoughts?
