I've decided to create a topic where I would list those features and modules that the people request and that we decide that should be included in the site. I will also update the list with what I'm working on, and the progress of each of the modules.

I was hesitant before to creating a post like this, because we couldn't edit posts on the site, but since I added the functionality to edit posts, we can easily manage it and keep it up to date.

List of modules
- Fixing HOME button on navigation bar [100%]
- Image edits by moderators [100%]
- BBcode buttons for forums [100%]
- BBcode buttons for image comments/blogs/news comments. [100%]
- Number of new images on series list (by series) [100%]
- Update of series main page [100%]
- Improved upload system [100%]
- Update "Control Panel" [100%]
- Member cards [100%]
- Add "artists" as a browsing option.
- Private messages / Notifications
- Improved image info (type/size...)
- Edit/Delete of blog posts
- Tag control by mods
- Improved search functionality
- Banner upload module
- Topic list paging (20 max per page)
- List recent posts by user on their profile
- Posts by user
- Uploads by user
- User status (online/offline/last-activity)
- User nationality (flag)
- User ALB list upload

Right now, those are the ones that I remember from the top of my head. If I left something out, or you have any new suggestions, let me know and we can discuss if it is something worth adding to the site.

2+2=5, charlie, I'm sure that you have previously proposed some add-ons and I've forgotten to add them, so let me know if you remember

Thanks.

Hey IGC, I think I've mentioned this before, but I think we need a progress page for each member so that they get notified when their images that were uploaded were validated and when some of the images are rejected and they get notified why that particular image was not validated..

That's included in the PM system. Whenever we have the PM system in place, all notifications like that will be sent to the users' notification folder. I was thinking about emailing those notices like other sites do, but that would only clog your mail and put too much strain on the server.

Oh, ok then.

Oh yeah, what's the "Banner Upload Module " for?

So we don't have to use a forum post to put the banners, and then doing the changes manually, which is why they take so long to be updated.
When that module is added, you will upload your banners the same way you upload other images and it will be much much faster and easier to validate them and get them on the site.

So is this your vision of the future theanimegallery heaven. Sign me up to die.

Those are the things that we need to add... most of the features are things that should have been there from the beginning, but since I had to work from a gallery that didn't have any of those, it takes time...
It's not like they are really hard features, because they are not, it just takes time and I don't have as much time as I had before to code and test...
At least when I started with the site I was still in school so I had the time to set the basis for what we have today, if I had started today, I would have not been able to do it...

i havent been around for the whole time the site has been up, but from what ive seen u have done an awesome job IGC. not many people would dedicate the time you do to making this site better. these additions will take time, but it will just be that much sweeter when they are done

As you probably figured, all development for these features stopped with the move...
But as soon as everything settles down, I will get back to them...

The first issue remaining is the little space we have left on the new server. I thought 50Gb was good enough, but after moving everything, we only have about 3Gb left ...
The second problem is the load on the server, apparently all those concerns that the shared hosts had were not made up.. because the site is making this new server sweat. That explains the sometimes slow responses we are getting... So Charlie and I are looking for possible solutions so that everything works as smoothly as possible.

mmk i gots a few...

bug: when i hit the "home" button that is below the banner while i am viewing a users profile, the screen will go to a blank profile instead of going home...

suggestion: add to the profile page a "recent posts and/or topics made" list. also, make a ranking for "most posts/threads made by a user" would be cool. i dont think im first anymore lol.

something to keep track of everyone elses posts...

and! notifications of the last edit (and maybe number of edits) on a post. adding in BBC code boxes so we can stop having to manually type that in needs to be on the list too
