Feature suggestions and discussion [READ THE FIRST POST]

@RepentantAnon
That’d be neat, though I’d opt for a vertical and horizontal line to crosshair the element, given how for really big and busy images a circle could be lost…

@RepentantAnon
On the right hoof, that would be wonderful for “why the hay is this tagged Rainbow Dash?”; on the left, who would use it for tagging? It’s the same problem that’s shut down my proposals for improved tagging in the past.

@RepentantAnon
I like this idea. Think about those yearly collab images, and people asking “where’s my OC?”. Just hover over your OC tag and the site shows it to you.

@PUBLIQclopAccountant
For years and years, I’ve wished I could attach short notes to my tag change sets, explaining why I did the changes.

@JP
It is weird that posts have changelogs, but tag edits don’t. When I want to add a justification to my changes, I usually add a comment to the image. But this is spam for regular image-viewing purposes, while normal comments are spam for tag editing purposes. No one reads multiple pages of “this is so cute” comments before changing tags.

@The Smiling Pony
yeah, that absolutely works too

Re-requesting the ability to search source_url history.

I’ve come across multiple cases where I’m trying to find an image from an old dead URL, and searching for that URL doesn’t find anything. But if I do a bit more digging and find the image on Derpibooru, I then sometimes see that the old URL I was originally searching for is there in the source history.

I’d like to see a feature where you can toggle avatars on or off.

@Blissful690
Use an adblocker to block https://derpicdn.net/avatars/, unblock it if you want to see them again.

@Blissful690
Please note that avatars that break our rules, including Rules #0, #5, or #7, will be removed. So, if this is because of a couple particularly inciting or antagonistic, or utterly forbidden on our site, or not safe, please report it and we will take care of it.

I think the ‘anatomically correct’ tag description should be changed because right now it says “anatomically correct horse vulva” when in reality it should be any part of a horse that has been drawn anatomically correct, including horse penises because we want the viewer to know that it was drawn anatomically correct

An RSS feed for notifications would be nice.

Also, the current watched feed isn’t listed on the API page.

@Yay295
Isn’t watched just a search for my:watched, not a unique API?

It’s unique because it’s RSS: https://derpibooru.org/api/v1/rss/watched?key=<user key>

You can see the URL in your settings.

Namespaces should be an actual set of possibilities, rather than just anything that precedes the first colon. (star trek and godzilla aren’t meant to be namespaces.)
Actually, it seems like there is a list, but I’m not sure what it’s used for.

The list of namespaces, categories, namespace-to-category relations, and other properties seems like it ought to be data, not hard-coded.

Making the creation date of Galleries visible in some way would be nice. Feels weird that it is tracked but not visible since you can sort gallery searches by it.

I don’t know if this has been suggested before, or if it’s already possible, but I’d really like to be able to get a random image with a certain minimum score. Better yet, a minimum score that I can change. EVEN better, a “random” search operator that I can add to any query to get a random image from the results, rather than all results.

@TwilyInSocks
The “Random Image” button both already exists, and it takes your current query into account, both on search pages, on image pages opened from a search and on image pages opened through the “Random Image” button

I didn’t know it did that, I thought it gave you a completely random image from the DB. Thanks!

To sort images by most recent comment date might be interesting, is that feasible?

That, or the ability to filter comments search by properties of the image they are for, other than building a ridiculous list of (image_id:# || image_id:# || image_id:#) from an image search conducted separately…

How about special notifications for when someone is replying directly to your comment as opposed to when they’re just replying to a post/thread you’re subscribed to?

I appreciate that attempting to edit a comment on an image where the comments have been locked just redirects to the front page; that’s a nice feature.
