Re-requesting adding a thread-watcher
The 4chanx way is ideal, but anything is better than nothing. For those who don't use 4x
>floating window that lets you keep track of every thread you watched.
>You can watch or unwatch with keyboard shortcut W.
>Watched threads keep track of which page a thread is on (useful on faster boards)
>You can track watched threads per board or all.
>Thread watcher has a red color when its on page 9-10
Think that's about it. And the 4x way auto subscribes you to watching a thread if you make a reply.

Perhaps a way to hide the generated filename and only show the original name? I don't see the point in showing the generated filename by default in the first place.

Pressing update on the bottom of the page shouldn't scroll you to the new bottom, instead it should keep your current scroll progress.
Sometimes auto update scrolls me to the top of the page if I am switched to another tab, annoying.

This. Other tabs I have at the bottom constantly "read" new posts without me looking. I have to scroll up a bit to stop the auto-scroll behavior from messing up my stopping place.

straight up what i came here to post lel
i know this site isnt and realistically wont ever be as fast as 4chins but ive used 4x for so long it feels wrong to not have a threadwatcher on the site

please implement thread watcher from 4chan-x(t)
also add a option to replace these shitty filenames with the original filenames

I think these filenames are a result of encryption on upload. But now that you've pointed it out, it would be a shame to lose manually named filenames that are a big part of 4chan culture.

Seconding the above (filenames and watcher). I'm here to suggest scrolling improvements:
>threads remembering your "last read" position and autoscrolling there once you reopen them (I think this would be crucial with a thread watcher where you don't keep every thread permanently open in a tab)
>the unread post count updating dynamically as you scroll new posts into view, rather than only resetting to 0 once your reach the absolute bottom of the page
>posting a quick reply should also not immediately scroll you to the bottom of the page, right now this makes it very difficult to catch up to a longer thread and reply as you go
Also
>quick reply window should either remember its last position or default to somewhere like the top-right corner, rather than popping up in the dead center of the screen each time it's opened
>and a very small one but it seems like it's not possible to resize the QR textbox vertically? I can only resize it horizontally
Regarding filenames, I'll seriously miss the timestamp based ones, because for the last decade I've been using that to sort my files and the UUIDs will not fit into that at all. But I imagine that's probably not possible in the existing chan backend? If so just storing the original filename (with an option on upload to wipe it) would be cool.
And another tiny thing would be an option on upload to alter the MD5 of an image (e.g. randomly alter one pixel by 1 r, g or b value). But only as a nice-to-have after you've got free time.

Oh, two more tiny ones:
>moving the reply window between the quick reply and the static reply form at the top is neat, but annoying when near the top of the thread (e.g. reading the OP) and the page suddenly snaps up to focus the static form
and
>a "mark as (You)" button - invaluable for if I say make a mobilepost on the shitter and then come back and I'd like to have reply notifications on my desktop browser now

Yes, I will make fix for this so the scrolling don't happen
>it's not possible to resize the QR textbox vertically? I can only resize it horizontally
If you resize the Quick reply dialog box (bottom right corner, the textbox should expand accordingly. I know it is not best UX placement of resize option.
>>9242
>the page suddenly snaps up to focus the static form
I know that pain, I will see what I can do to try to fix that (been on back burner as it is not too often you stumble on it).
>a "mark as (You)" button
If you click the arrow left of poster name you can choose "Add (You)" to mark it as (you). I might not have used best wording when I created that menu.

thanks m8
>If you resize the Quick reply dialog box (bottom right corner, the textbox should expand accordingly
The UX is actually the same as on 4chan and 4chanx, but for me it only allows horizontal resizing.
I guess this might just be a me issue. Regardless it's a pretty minor niggle so feel free to ignore, all the other stuff's way more important anyway.
>If you click the arrow left of poster name you can choose "Add (You)"
Oh amazing, my problem was not the wording it was that I was looking for the arrow somewhere around the ID and post number, not on the left side of the entire post header. That's just me being retarded and too used to the 4chan(x) UI. Actually I think when I first switched to 4chanx I couldn't find the post options arrow either because it moves it relative to vanilla 4chan, so yeah it's just me lmao.
If you want to adjust the wording I think similar functionality in 4chanx and mobile apps uses something like "Mark as (You)" and "Unmark as (You)", but it's not a big deal.

Thinking a bit more on this, could be you're seeing the MD5hash as the first file? I don't really see much of a reason anyone would care about a visible hash if that's the case and I support a default hiding of the jargon string

It would be nice to be able to see the date/time stamp of the most recent post (and I suppose OP too) in a thread in the catalog by, for example, having a tooltip appear when you hover your mouse over a thread.

Not really an issue on desktop, but when phoneposting the Quickreply window shrinks when you add an image, thus making triple checking for typos a challenge. Would it be possible to change it so the window adjusts accordingly? Thank you for the catalog feature.
Also just noticed the quickreply window goes away when scrolling to the top of the page. Very clever.

Good improvements.
The boardlink at the top center still links to a board index, while the board link in the list brings me to a board catalog
I know this site already has video with sound support, so some 4x style toggle autoplays in the options for gifs and videos could be a nice QoL bump.

Dedicated thread reply tracker tab
Got couple:
Subject isn't in quick filter menu, but you can set Subject filter through options manually. So quick link pls.
Ability to add filters from catalog view. Maybe add arrow dropdown menu thingy there.

There doesn't appear to be any functionality for hiding threads entirely.
I tried filtering a thread's OP and it still shows up on the front page as well as the catalog.

if you mean by hiding that can't see it at all, then its not working, went through different mutations of STRIPED in Subject with regexp toggled and not toggled, still no matter what i added, can see thread in catalog. meaning that even /^STRIPED$/ doesn't work. Only filter that seems to work is image spoilering as seen here >>9314.
Also filter list is bit rough as it needs refresh to see changes.

Click the Arrow next to name and select
Add Filter > Post+
But I will look into adding the text search option too.

Shift + Enter to submit a new post on the quick reply would be nice, but doubletabbing works.
On the homepage, both the [recent imgs] and the [recent posts] column could link to shortened threads, to save bandwidth on both ends.
So change the link from
mlpol.net/board/thread#post towards
mlpol.net/board/thread@50#post

If you resize the Quickreply dialog box itself (lower left corner) the comment box will resize with it. I know it is not the most optimal UX.

We're not susceptible to the same attack that 4chan was when it comes to PDFs. Our way to handle PDFs is more akin to a file storage service. We don't process PDF files other than checking that it is a PDF file and scanning it for viruses.

I may be retarded, but it seems like archived threads aren't really marked in any way. I had https://mlpol.net/poner/65 open in a tab for a while, and I went to post there just now and got a message saying "thread is archived".
But not only is that not visible anywhere on the page itself, but the autorefresh timer is still running, "refreshing" the thread every 5 seconds. And reloading the page doesn't do anything.
I think that if /poner/ really picks up speed and threads might start archiving regularly, this could be worth looking at. As a more precise to-do list of what a user might expect:
>favicon changing so the tab is visible as archived
>the page text saying "archived" instead of e.g. "page 10"
>the auto-update automatically stopping, the manual refresh button getting disabled, and possibly this also saying "archived" (for reference, 4chanx writes that in red text)
Speaking of favicons, I remember someone mentioning that the icon for threads with (You)s is almost indistinguishable from threads with just unread posts, but apparently it wasn't in this thread. Either way bumping that anon's point, it's nice being able to see at a glance if you got (You)ed in any open tab.
And one very minor extra unrelated suggestion would be having a posts/posters/images/page display near the top of the thread also, not just at the very bottom, so that you can see it immediately when opening a thread rather than only once you've already read every post anyway.
Again for a 4chanx reference it puts it in the sticky header on the right (so next to the Options button currently), which is even nicer since you can see it at a glance from anywhere, but I'm not picky. (4chanx also adds a red notification if you got (You)ed anywhere in any other thread but that would have to come after a thread watcher implementation kek.)

There was some spam so might have been that it pushed it off into archives. One of the spam preventions is that if catalog is spammed to hell the catalog and therads will be restored when spam is removed. But I will look into if there is a better way to do it (but might take time to tweak that due to more work on underlying code).
I will look into tweaking the notification favicon for (you)s. And the other Quality of Life suggestions.

Oh, it is in the Archive - reading is hard. Thought you said it was in the catalog and missed the "not" part.
It should have said "Archived", so not sure why it says "Page 10". I will look into it. Thanks for letting me know about it.

What's the filesize limit here? If not then I'm adding it as a suggestion.
I noticed on 8moe that they have a file size upload of 50mb, along with which files are supported. But I don't see any info for where this would be on mlpol, and I checked the help under options.

That's a decent chunk, but I still don't know where that info is found. Just by trial and error? It should be somewhere on the website UI, either under options help or the reply window.

Can we get .webp support for uploading images?
the ability to shiftclick threads on the catalog would be a nice little quality of life thing i would appreciate greatly
What is supposed to happen when you click on "No." before the post number? It highlights the post but doesn't do anything else that I'm aware of. If it copied to clipboard the link to the post (https://mlpol.net/qa/9226#9384) then that would be nice.
>>9394
just realized I can right click a post number and copy it, rather than copying the post number and editing the URL. clicking on the post number pops up a reply which is nice.
still, the "No." text before the post number seems useless.

Small thing I just noticed re:favicons: it seems that the (You) icon is not just hard to notice, but a thread updating and loading another non-(You) post after you got (You)ed actually reverts the favicon back to the default "unread posts" one. I'm not sure if it's just me but it seems to be relatively consistent.

This site is borderline perfect, as other anons have said it needs a decent thread watcher, if that was implemented then I'd happily make this my home board. Also massive thanks to staff and anons of mlpol for accepting us refugees, it's comfy here. The features on this site such as, lack of cuck timer+captcha and video support with audio are a real eye opener as to how shit 4chan was.

Very much looking forward to this. For me, thread watcher + dynamic post "read" status based on scrolling are the two big features that would basically make this site perfect.
With some luck, you might even be able to lift some of the frontend javascript directly from 4chanx. It's even MIT licensed.

I can honestly say with full confidence that our website code was more secure when I first turned the website on drunk and disorderly (thanks pupper for making actually good code) than 4chan was last week, constant security updates were always number 1, in fact I accidentally crashed the server the first week because I wanted to keep a script running for the security updates
we secure the server itself against any ssh, we keep the server code updated, there is a solid separation between our own communications and the server software, and we store NO user data, your ip addresses are on our server for 1 nanosecond before being garbled into a non-reversable encrypted bit of nonsense, the best we can know (for moderation purposes) is that two posts were made by the same person. And all the posts are backed up so they couldn't even just delete everything and leave us in shambles.
even if someone managed to somehow using voodoo magic break into the server the worst thing they could do is momentarily piss us off.

Don't know if it has already been mentioned, but for spoilered images, the original filename doesn't show when unspoilering the image (you can still save it with the original filename though).
Can I request the G5 icons to be added to : ?
Can you make a feature where you can move tangents or off topic discussions to the appropriate threads if they exist?

This has been getting me too since I'm used to scaling the quickreply from the actual input portion. The problem is we're using this site's implementation incorrectly. You need to go to the ENTIRE quickreply box's corner.

Created a Thread Watcher.
It is first iteration so if you see any bugs or features you would like let me know.
You can Watch a thread by clicking the [Add to Thread Watcher] link or by using keyboard shortcut Shift+W.
It shows:
>(Unread posts) [Title/Text] (page number) and /board/

I might also mention that if you got the "[TEXT MISSING]" for thread, it was a small bug on first upload that I fixed. To get it to work just remove using [Remove Thread from Thread Watch] and add it again.

Fucking based.
So far looking great. Obviously some small things are missing but I assume you probably have plans to add more so far so I'm not gonna blurt out a todo list immediately, and this is already a huge help. One thing I will ask though, is how difficult would it be to have a setting to auto-watch threads on reply?

Feel free to blurt them out, Any pointers to what is desired will be a huge help in coding. This way I don't have to speculate what people wants and can instead try to do the best I can to implement what is desired.
>how difficult would it be to have a setting to auto-watch threads on reply
It should be possible to do that.
The current thread watcher is a work in progress. So info on styling and what info and functionality that is desired will be a great help.

>a better highlight on (You)s - I like that threads on the last few pages are already red, so I'm not sure how to best highlight that, but maybe maybe the reply count deep red and bold for example? ideally you'd also be able to tell if a thread is on page 10 AND has a (You) so I'm not sure, might need some experimenting
>speaking of last page highlights, I'm not sure if p9 needs highlighting, but p8 definitely doesn't IMO (even 4chanx didn't highlight it)
>also a "you have unread (You)s" icon in the modal titlebar itself, for when it's minimised/collapsed
>also, I would be ecstatic if we had a closeable threadwatcher with (You) alerts still working, that means:

>>>clicking the (You) notification in the boardlist header would either open the entire thread watcher window if it's closed, or open a mini-view just listing the threads that have unread (You)s
>a "delete thread" (i.e. unwatch it) button directly in the thread watcher, so you don't have to open the thread and click remove

>for the future, I haven't tested it yet but I assume because it's in alpha you probably don't have it yet, mentioning just in case - archived threads should be un-highlighted (shown faded) and should also get automatically pruned/unwatched after a few days or so (but not immediately so you can look back and check at any threads you were following that got archived) (maybe the auto-delete period can also be configurable in settings and disable-able for those who want to only manually clean their watchers)
I think that's about all I'd want out of a perfect feature-complete watcher. Obviously I don't expect all of this to be implemented immediately, I just tried to give you as comprehensive a list as I could to hopefully guide development.
Styling-wise, the main question is how to display (You)s properly without interfering with the p9/10 highlighting, otherwise it's already looking great. Maybe for p9/10, only the page number should be red ad maybe experiment with making the thread italic, and for an unread (You) the entire thread should be red (and bold because unread posts)?
Hmm, really scrutinising it, also the board title at the end can be hard to read if considered important, maybe making it at the start of the name and constant width could make it more table-like and readable, so e.g.
> (0) /poner/ - We are so BACK (p1)
> (0) /qa/ - Quality of Life Improvements (p1)
but I'm not entirely certain about that.

Incredible turnaround fren!
Glad that my detailing of 4x functions helped out.
I am impressed that you got it out this fast while 8moe admins got asked about this a week ago and it's still broken with no sign of clear skies anytime soon. In fairness, they're getting butfucked by glowniggers right now so they have their hands tied.
It's a little easy to miss as a link at the top, but I'm used to it being a button or key so I can adjust quick. I'll be sure to spread the goodnews and report back if there's any bugs. Am I to assume right that it doesn't auto-update and you have to refresh manually?

Pretty extensive, and very much 4chanX again. I was going to suggest things in chunks until we get closer to the old home thread watcher. But if Pupper want's to absorb all the autism at once, then it's certainly right there for him to go over.

>Am I to assume right that it doesn't auto-update and you have to refresh manually?
That is correct. It updates when you load a page and when you click the update button. To clear the "Unread" counter you have to update it on the thread that has unread posts on it.
If you have any suggestions or requests for features or changes please let me know and I will do my best to implment it.

Always welcome. I might ask for more suggestions after each iteration, and would welcome suggestions restated if they were not implemented but desired. This way I don't have to keep track of what I missed and hopefully can faster finetune features for this and other stuff.
I am not the best at writing to-do lists they tend to end up as walls of text I loose track of.

Understood.
While you're here, what's the deal with with the double filenames with the huge string being the biggest one? Is it necessary or can it be trimmed down to just normal filenames. Which this guy brought up but didn't really clarify >>9228
It looks like it displays a hash on the first filename of the thumbnail hosted on the server, and then the real filename that was uploaded. Which is just "spoilered" when a file is under a spoiler
It would probably be best if the hashname was hidden or significantly sized down, unless there's a reason for it

Argh, some good some bad. It looks better on the eyes but it would be ideal if the full filename was mostly visible and the larger one, not truncating each so heavily. Or just hiding the hash by defualt
The suggestion stems from making an effort to preserve the culture around naming files manually, which can each have its own commentary or meme which enhances it being just an image.
See when the full filenames can be meme-y and very /mlp/, but hovering over it just makes more effort that I don't think people would bother with.

I will do some tinkering and tweaking to make it better. And I will have a more functional and better implementation tomorrow. I might have rushed this tweak a bit, but good to get feedback on so I can make it better.

I think it's an improvement over truncating everything, I would still like to axe the hash being displayed.
From a UI it's visually cluttered and the filename is easy to miss since it's so very tiny. Sandwhiched between the bigger hash and the reverse lookup tools. Maybe have the other stuff as hover-over to display the tool/hashes?
Comparing to 8moe and End the UI is clean, and it looks like moe do use hover to full filename so maybe its workable.

Add an option to disable the automatic scrolling when an image is un-maximized. Its such a terrible anti-feature and every altchan seems to do it.
Added function so you should automatically scroll to the last post you read upon load of a thread. It might need some fine tuning, so let me know of any improvements you would like to see.

Oh shit MASSIVE
I haven't tested yet right this moment on whether this also implements per-post "unread post" decrementing (vs. having to scroll down to the bottom to mark the entire thread as read simultaneously), but the actual scrolling to last position works perfectly and is a huge gamechanger in how easy it is to go back and catch up to threads (and goes hoof-in-hoof with the thread watcher letting me close a bunch of tabs and re-open them when I see new posts)

Great that the giant hash has been mostly cleaned up since that was the giant fucking file being moaned about, but if that's what it was I think you could just add it like [hash#] and satisfy people who don't like the unicode. It would still be less messy than truncating the string.
I am pretty neutral about it since I dont think I would ever use the hash file over the filename file.
>>9772
I am not neutral about this though, I'd like to see is the filename size/info on the same row as the hash, but right now it's inconsistent on how it's stacked, different sizes, and sets off my autism. Pic2 vs Pic3, Pic4 vs Pic5

Question: what is the purpose of that first hash-link? Why can't the original filename be in that spot?
I see that the original filename, right now, links to a download by original filename, while the hash links to a download by the hash/site filename. I suggest that either
>a: the original filename becomes the default download, with a "hash filename" button next to it or something; or
>b: the current hash download link is still replaced with the actual filename; and add a button to download with original filename next to it (e.g. replace the tiny font text that currently has the original filename with just "(orig)").
Here's a quick devtools mockup of what I mean for option b - both of the links go to the same places they do now (i.e. clicking on "image.png" saves a file called "EA2F....png", and clicking on "(orig)" saves a file called image.png).
Arguably I also find the hash filenames to be pretty useless to save by, but doing it this way will preserve mlpol functionality and even the way 4chan also did it (except 4chan did not have a convenient original-filename download button at all).

>>9775
>Question: what is the purpose of that first hash-link? Why can't the original filename be in that spot?
I can set the original filename in that spot, but sometimes the original filename can be really long. I could do an similar to "save as original" and have "save as timestamp" instead of the hash. But I will do some testing. As it has been hashes for so long some might prefer that as you know if you have saved that image before preventing duplicates, but also some prefer the timeline of saves.

I saw it as soon as I came back to check, it looks like it works well. I dont think that part needs anything changes like completely hiding it ala 4chanx and I'm fine with that function as is it now.
For the thread watcher my first feedback I think the glowing red warning is set too low where it is right now (5). Page 9-10 is the typical one as the glowing red purpose for page info was so you could save a thread from getting archived.
BUT this should come with a caveot, have a rule against excessive necrobumps as trolls abused on /mlp/. /mlp/ had punished necrobumping with bans at one point but they stopped giving a damn and the board suffered for it as trolls quickly adapted to update their new slide-strategies bumping all their page9-10 threads around the same time and just leaving it to rot like stale bread.

BUT this should come with a caveot, have a rule against excessive necrobumps as trolls abused on /mlp/. /mlp/ had punished necrobumping with bans at one point but they stopped giving a damn and the board suffered for it as trolls quickly adapted to update their new slide-strategies bumping all their page9-10 threads around the same time and just leaving it to rot like stale bread.

I will do some tinkering and make "notification" colors better. Also making the watcher itself more conforming (or how to say it) to the different themes.

So two things maybe a options toggle for to only see shotened uploaded file and a toggle to have the thread watcher be on the left side?

>options toggle for to only see shotened uploaded file
The hash filename was an bug from my side, I had swapped the class on one of the uploads.
>a toggle to have the thread watcher be on the left side
I added an setting in the options menu to set the thread watcher to be on the left side.

>I can set the original filename in that spot, but sometimes the original filename can be really long
Personally, I think the ideal solution would be to have a max limit beyond which it gets truncated with an ellipsis ... , and the full title is in the HTML "title" element to let you hover it.
>as it has been hashes for so long
Perfectly understandable, having an option would please everyone but probably adds an annoying amount of extra work to fit in
>"save as timestamp"
That will be absolutely tremendous if you add it, speaking as a refugee

Did some updates and added Timestamp download, Cleaned up the file header and some minor tweaks to the file handling.

Glad you like it. Feel free to give feedback on any improvements or bugs you might encounter.
Going to take a little rest from coding, and then tomorrow try to look over what all have said and my notes on other improvements that are desired.
There is a bug where the "hide image" don't save it to user settings, so on reload the image is show again, but I will look at that tomorrow.

By the way, aside from the huge wall of text I posted earlier, having used the thread watcher for a little while now I can say that currently the top really big improvements for usability are:
>1. Auto-refresh the watcher once a thread is marked as "read", so when you scroll down you don't have to also click on the watcher refresh icon to register the thread as read
>2. At least a force-refresh of state when another tab updates it (i.e. reading a thread in one tab would mark it as read in every tab), but you can kill two pegas with one stone by just adding periodic auto-refresh, to also check for new posts every n seconds without having to again manually refresh the watcher
>... gap in priority here...
>3. An option to auto-watch threads on reply
Roughly in order of priority. Right now it works great but it's a bit clunky to use across multiple tabs due to how manual the refreshes are, so having it automatically take into account once you scrolled a thread would be a game-changer, and having it passively auto-update in the background would be another one. (Would probably need some extra logic though to make sure out-of-focus tabs don't all spam refresh requests for all threads all the time.)

Ok, so after using it a bit:
- scrolling should be instant instead of smooth scrolling
- should highlight the first unread comment (same as #postid does in the url)
- longer thread names should be shortened instead of braking it into multiple lines

Can we do something about the current state of /vx/? Threads from 8 years ago are still on the catalog.
I like the overboard but it doesn't actually show ALL the latest posts on the this chan. If the thread is autosaging it doesn't show up on the top of the list as the latest most recent post. I don't know if this is working as intended or something that is warranted for a change, but something I noticed.
Love the thread wather. What do people think about having the originating board of the watched thread on the left, instead of the right like in the second picture?

Did some improvements to the thread watcher. It should now update across tabs when you update it in one. Also added an option to add "remove" button next to thread links so you can easily remove from there. Also moved the /board/ to the front of links.
Will do some more tinkering later on improvements in other areas of thread watcher, scroll to last read and other areas.

Thanks for that Pupper, I appreciate it. Doing {YOUR_FAVOURITE_PONE}s work. I suppose it depends on the resolution of someones monitor or it's orientation but you can keep adding threads to the watcher past where you can interact with it, though I doubt there will be many people with a list as long as picrel.

As an aside, all tabs updated when removing all those threads from the watcher, so that works as intended.

I added that icon due to the way resize of textarea works in the Quickreply (resize the quickreply dialog box), and people had trouble finding out how. I added it in hope that it would be a little guide/hint. It has not been there for long so could be reason you didn't notice it before.

Here's another frequently used QoL suggestion while you nail down the thread watcher.
Thread hiding from the catalog.
>Either with a [hide] button next to the others like [last 50] or with Shift+Click.
It looks like nhnb does have it but the function is broken, no surprises there. It can hide threads, but never keeps track of it in the filter list. So if you accidentally hide a thread, you're just permanently going to live with that. And if you wanted to hide a thread for a while, but look at it later can't do that either.

It's a nice addition, truth be told. The standard size of the QR box shrinks when you add a picture, which is confusing for a new user. Thank you.

When I want to hide a thread, I don't plan on revisiting it afterward, though a catalogue hide button would be helpful for the inevitable shitposting that'll be incumen in.

Granted, that is usually how most people will use it. Though for nhnb it was just testing out the function and now that thread is gone like a blackhole to me.

Clear your cache, if that doesn't work then try another browser in private mode and report back.

It worked, thread that was hidden was brought back when I cleared browser settings. However, ALL of the watched threads I had were deleted with it too. I genuinely do not like anything about that board, it's made with spaghettis code and run by a team of aspies.
At least now I might know why the thread watcher would fail at random, it was probably cache/cookie related. And all the threads I watched from here are gone too, but the ones on 4chanX remain even if I clear the browser data. This could also be why people were complaining about watched threads here not working right, more browser hiccups

If you get around to an auto-updating a thread watcher...
8moe has a counter for unread updates in their thread watcher. With the watcher set to minimized here it could benefit from a similar update like [(#) TW] the # being how many threads have updates since last opened.

Pardon, but might I make a suggestion?
