Ideas to improve FA and accessibility
2 years ago
• A privacy option setting for Display Favourites that allows you to show adult favourites to mutual followers.
• BBCode hints/reference button next to the Bold/Italic/Underline buttons to reduce formatting guesswork.
• Multi-file uploads (a bit of a pipe dream knowing FA's backend) so multiple YCHs don't spam notifications.
• Additional categories such as "Animation" and "Downloadable Game" (or at the very least HTML5 file support)
• PDF support. Please. I need to be able to view PDFs without having to download them just so I can read smut.
• Notes auto-responder with filtering so you can permanently get rid of "hi do u rp" low-quality messages/spam.
• Tags/search term blocklist so I don't have to see things I really never don't ever want to see. Ever.
• OH GOD PLEASE LET ME FORCE-DISABLE COLOUR FORMATTING I CAN'T READ YELLOW TEXT WITH THE LIGHT THEME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
Other than that, 10/10 would recommend using FA!
EDIT: Other things that I thought of that would be cool!
• RP status/availability next to Accepting Trades/Commissions
• Anonymous Favourite (shows your name as only "Anonymous faved YourArt" to the artist and doesn't show your favourite to other users viewing your Favourites)
• Spotlight Favourite (opposite to the above; notifies your followers that you favourited an upload)
• The ability to directly reply to a shout on your page as if it's a comment that you can reply to (saves the awkward back-and-forth between two completely disjointed shoutboxes)
Fixes FA needs:
• Light theme preview description is still dark, almost unreadable due to black text on dark grey background
• Light theme News banner is still dark, almost unreadable due to black text on black semitransparent background element
• Stats page breaks formatting after the first 394 characters - even breaking urls/iconusernames in half, however links are still treated as clickable (DANGEROUS: CAN BE USED TO INSERT MALICIOUS URLs)
• BBCode hints/reference button next to the Bold/Italic/Underline buttons to reduce formatting guesswork.

FA+

Also yeh, I'd love for there to be MP4 support. With more and more people making proper videos, It'd be nice if they provided a section for video makers who want to upload to a safe, reliable site instead of goin to more... Questionable sites.
And yeah, MP4 support in the Animation category would be a must.
