Tech Wishlist

Go To

As your friendly neighborhood Admin Team, the gang here at TVTropes HQ is always working to improve the site. Many of those improvements begin with suggestions posted right here, on the Community Wishlist. Is there a feature you really want on TVTropes? Post it. Is there something we could be doing better? We want to know. Do you think we look fat in these pants? We were totally afraid of that. See a bug? Report it.

Important things to know:

  • We're all about that content-creation life! The top contenders for our attention are ideas that'll create more content, like the video uploading feature, or speed up launching new pages. On the flip side, design or layout tweaks won't be our top priority.
  • Help us dig through the goldmine of old wishlist items! If you have an old request gathering dust or spot one you're totally on board with, give it a bump and a like. There's a treasure trove of 6+ years' worth of ideas just waiting to be rediscovered. Items without enough love may not make the cut and will be closed.
  • Was your wishlist item locked up without an explanation? It was most likely disapproved or just too big of a task versus the benefit it would ultimately have. Time is precious, and we want to focus on updates with the biggest bang for the buck. Don't be discouraged though! We appreciate every idea and we're always listening.

It'd be nice, but also it needs own page size and search options, because I personaly need all of them on one page.

What else should be done to the followed threads page?

An option to filter out locked threads would be good. Task-focused subforums like Image Pickin' accumulate a lot of locked threads.

Followed Pages has a Mark All As Read button, so a similar one can be for threads.

^ Possibly with an "are you sure" prompt, but yes.

One of the threads I follow has 60,000+ posts. Being able to mark that backlog read and see when there's a new post (via bold markup) would be great.

Okay good ideas. I want to make the followed threads and followed pages better and offer the user more functionality. I know there’s that other wishlist about unread badges for followed pages I think?

So far I got:

Followed Threads:

  • mark all as read button
  • filter out locked
  • add pagination. Wish
  • fix forum search to search first by title and for phrases VS single terms

Followed Pages:

  • follow related pages w/ updates. Wish
  • add unread badges. Wish
  • Fix pagination showing up with no results
