New Feature Request Page to replace IdeaInformer

[ddavison]

There is a new feature request list LIVE now on the website. This replaces the older one that was on IdeaInformer, but unfortunately, we seem to have lost that old list of feature requests.

Here is a link to a Wayback Machine capture of the old list from 2022 if someone wants to scan that and see if there were any feature requests you still want to see captured going forward.

FYI, refreshing the page after submitting resubmits the request. You need to clear the form upon submission.

I added a request, which worked fine, but I was given an approve button, not sure if I'm supposed to be able to approve my own suggestions* might be a bug

Yeah, shows "Admin mode active" at the top, but it doesn't actually let you approve/delete

You can also review the suggestions & comments you previously made by going to the Idea Informer Homepage. Login, and then access your user profile (top right corner). From there click on My History. This link might take you directly there; Idea Informer » Feedback 2.0 (http://idea.informer.com/profile.php?what=activity)

Bug note; after submitting an idea, manually refreshing the web page resubmits the idea. oops!

Almost as if that was already mentioned above :)

Got 'em

[LordEntrails]

A feature request for the feature request list ;)
The ability to sort by creation date. I often used this on the Idea Informer to view the new ideas so I could look at the ones I had not yet considered for voting.

[ddavison]

You can sort by any column, including date.
But… you have to be able to see the date column. You need to expand your window width, shrink the font size, or change column visibility.

[ddavison]

Refreshing the page has been addressed. It is still possible if you use the history/back button and choose to resubmit the same form (bad user ��), but hitting F5 or refreshing no longer does that.

Thanks. I will remove that message.

[LordEntrails]

Thanks Doug!

Sorting the suggestions by vote counts seems to be a bit weird. It's not really sorting them by highest to fewest or fewest to highest properly.

Seems to work fine for me. Which browser you using?

Point of note, you are sorting by title in that image (note the dark arrow)

[deer_buster]

Thanks. I will remove that message.
Still seeing that message if you thought you had removed it...

Haha, yes indeed. Wrong sort option.

Thanks. It is now only displayed to Admins, as originally planned.

FYI, after submitting a request the page redirects to an insecure page without HTTPS. This raises an error/warning page in Firefox. Verified the behavior on multiple browsers.

Thanks. This should be fixed now.

[LordEntrails]

FYI, the Idea Informer site is back up if you wanted to access the old site and obtain any data/ideas from it.

[Blackwolfe]

This is a very promising move by SmiteWorks. Thank You.

Can it be set up to receive a notification when a comment is made on a request you have submitted or commented on. They same way you receive notifications from the forums. I have added this in the Requests Page but was hoping commenting here might be a better place for this type of request. If this is better you can remove the request from there, or let me know and I can delete my request. Thanks for all of your hard work!!!

I added a new category for Rulesets. You can now request a new ruleset so that people can vote on the system they would most like to see built next.

Thanks for that. Is there a way to give a link out to people for a specific request so that they don't have to search?

[Trenloe]

The Status filter doesn't work - it looks like it's a mismatch in case between the filter and the records. For example: Filter = 1-Suggested, records = 1-suggested

There was an error when you had both category and status filtered for the search. This is fixed now.

No, but if you can find it, I put a request in there for such ;)

I did, and I upvoted it

When an item is completed, can you add info to the build so we know which it’s included in please? Also, can’t seem to view any comments that have been added.

What happens when you click on the comments button?

Note, you can add feature request for the feature request tool to the feature request list :) Just select a category of Website!

[sedgetone]

Get a pop out window and can expand the first comment but can’t advance to any others.

[LordEntrails]

Pop out window should look something like this;

Found a bug in the idea text field, it doesn't sanitize inputs for < and >'s. Or, it *does* but only by deleting everything between them lol.

One feature that would be nice to have is a DM friendly NPC creation for Traits and Attacks. An example would be like a Pull down list based on the books a person has and of course rule set they are using. Since wording has to be percise I know lots of DMs who have trouble making a good NPC since traits don't work or spell attacks because they don't know how to word it correctly. I think this would help immensely for new Dms who are using FGU and veterens who are use to it but are welcome to the easy use of it.

Put it on the Feature Request list linked in the OP :)

The easiest way to create a new NPC is to make a copy of an existing one and edit the copy. That way you retain any wording that makes it work.
