This is a thread for all of those little features on 4chan, addons, or wherever else that you miss and would like to have here.

A new thread for this? Okay. it's organized
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

Also forgot that 4x will link to an archived version if the thread has been deleted/archived. This might not matter as much on a slower site, but auto-linking to archives is pretty nice.

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.

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

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.

* Fixed so that reply don't scroll you down to your post anymore.
* And added option to make board links into direct catalog links.
Will need reload of page to get the new js. Let me know if there is any problems.

I have a problem with auto-updater: if I scroll down to the bottom of a thread page, leave my tab and wait for new posts, sometimes posts are read automatically, and I get no special favicon icon displayed

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.

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.

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
