More organised favorites
0
Sorry if there is already a thread about this (couldn't find one) but are there any plans to make the favorites list a little more user friendly? If you have a lot of favorites it's really hard to find a particular manga with only thumbnails.
In the meantime, are there any add-ons or userscripts that add some more info to the favorites page?

[color=#993300]The matter has already been discussed and the fact of the matter is it'd be too taxing on servers to do it for every user, more likely than not (and Jacob has replied on this) it will be considered for Fakku Gold

Honestly, it seems like a bit of a stretch to suggest that also adding author and tags for example would lead to a noticeable increase in bandwidth when this site probably serves hundreds of thousands of images a day and is offering a public API.

[color=#993300]First off, all of us have an infinite space for favorites, such that as every user's database will accumulate. We've already had bugs with the favorites page before, additional coding can cause even more possible mishaps
Secondly, we have to take in to account the rate in which favorites are added, let's take the most recent hentai posting for an example. In 6 hours, we see a spike of about 450 users adding the manga to their favorites. Taking a guess on average traffic flow, we'll see a jump to about 500-1,000 favorites in a day. Combine this with the average upload rate of about 1-3 in a day. This can be on average about 750-1,250 favorites in a day. I may not be a computer whiz, but from what I know about coding and the little information I can gather about the sites servers (which, mind you, can't handle more than 10 subscriptions per user), it might not be stable.
And what's wrong with clicking on the picture? I can see the convenience of it, but it'll take time and possibly resources Fakku doesn't have as of yet

And what's wrong with clicking on the picture?Clicking the picture loads an entire new page for that manga with all of its information and comments, which is pretty wasteful if a user just wanted to check the title/author/tags. If this is what people are currently doing, Fakku might actually lower its server load by improving the Favorites page. If people can see the most essential stuff at a glance, they wouldn't always need to load up the actual manga to see what it's about or why they might have fav'd it.
That being said, I doubt bandwidth is really a concern here though. I'd be surprised if users viewing their list of favorites accounted for even 1% of all this site's traffic. The information that gets displayed there wouldn't affect the amount of bandwidth being used for adding or removing favorites either.
I made a simple script for myself that adds the titles below the thumbnails. I think it's already a huge improvement and it doesn't cost Fakku any additional bandwidth at all.

[color=#993300]Maybe my memory's different for me being able to recognize things by image instead of tag, but the concern is from the influx of favorites being added to a user's profile, not browsing them. If anything, adding tons and tons of data piles up, that I know from the page bugs throughout the forums. I know little about coding, but application of anything on a widescale could let problems arise. You seem apt at code, so why not crack at the idea yourself?

Fakku doesn't want users to start using the favorites as a sort of personal archive, so the feature is intentionally being kept as rudimentary as possible. I can understand that and if that's the issue, a client-side script won't circumvent it.

I know they are all good, but I can't tell at a glance what I'm in the mood to read so I end up just randomly clicking through them. If Fakku gold comes with improved fav management I will definitely be considering it.
Thanks for the replies in any case!
