Ads with sound

Max Willis 12 years ago updated by Sarah 12 years ago 4

Hello,


at 21:04GMT on 30/11/2012 I was subjected to at least three adverts on your site which unsolicitedly played sound. The ad units were for Strepsils, Air Wick and one more which I do not recall.


I used the silence button on each ad, but after that ad had finished playing and a new one loaded, the new ad began playing sound.


Please can imgur not use intrusive ads with audio, or make the mute button persistent.


Kind regards,

Max

Judging by the FAQ, "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here!" (Annie reference.) Is there a way to create sub-albums? (Not sure if that's what Cameron W is requesting or not.)

Angels William 12 years ago updated by Sarah 12 years ago 0
Is there a way to make sub-albums?
Say, I've already created an album, and on the list of things I can do with that album, one of the choices is "create new album" or "create sub album," which would create an album inside that existing album (e.g. the album "classmates" inside the album "friends").
That would be a great help to me organization-wise, as I have a lot of pictures I'd like to upload; and organizing smaller categories inside larger ones would make things so much easier to sift through when looking for that specific photo I want to share with someone.
Thank you for considering this idea!

Imgur albums in chrome do not work properly.

Dan Klamet 13 years ago updated by Sarah 13 years ago 0
Albums only load the first three or four images on the main page, and slideshow albums don't respond to clicking on the thumbnails or back/next buttons.  Disabling adblock plus and hoverzoom does not change it.  The expansion button works if I click on it, but they will not load on the album's main page.

Down votes

The site is awesome. There are only a few drawbacks. To stem the onslaught of down-voting new captions on new images, maybe you could implement a buffer time for people with a low rank. Like they are unable to up/down vote comments on a new picture for half an hour maybe? That way no one's quality captions will be lost because someone wants their caption to be on the top.

tags and filters

Jason D 12 years ago updated by Sarah 12 years ago 1

I propose a tagging feature that can also be used to filter in/out images.


We all love different things, but many "appropriate" images are either uninteresting, startling, or just damn annoying. Imgurites should be able to post  their pokemon, Community, lolcats, spiders, Emma Watson, Minecraft, shock/horror gifs, whatever, but I think Imgur is getting popular enough that we can no longer generalize about the collective preference of the community. Especially with the new ability to directly upload to the feed, it would be really nice to automatically filter out the images that we definitely don't want to see. I think the community can be trusted to properly tag images and police tag abuse for the most part.

Kevin 12 years ago updated by Sarah 12 years ago 0
It'd be nice to have an option to change the order of the comments/captions on an image; instead of being based on the highest rating being first, there could be an option to order it based on the time (newest being first).

It would make me moan like an elderly orgasmic sheep if we had this, and it would solve the problem of the good-but-new captions being at the bottom.

Please prevent users from downvoting comments that no longer appear on the corresponding image's page via user profiles.

Chris Phillips 13 years ago updated by Sarah 13 years ago 0
For some old images, all the comments dissappear, but comments I left for that image can still be seen via my profile. This has been exploited by some users to attack my overall rep score by downvoting everything they see on my profile (so for example someone so inclined can reduce my overall rep score by 30 if I've posted 30 comments per account that they have). Please prevent users from downvoting comments that no longer appear on that image's page by removing both the vote links from the user profile for those comments. It doesn't make sense for people to be able to vote on inaccessible comments anyway.

Repost Button

Daniel Lucas 12 years ago updated by Sarah 12 years ago 1

Due to the new User Submit functionality (which i love! thanks) there are obviously a TON more reposts out there. It is impossible for users to know that pictures they find on facebook/reddit/4chan/etc are actually from Imgur or that they have been recently posted on Imgur from the same site. Unless one monitors the New User Submit 24/7, you can never know unless it is actually on the Most Viral page. Thus, I would like to give my idea of a Repost Button to be placed next to the Report/Spam button. This would allow people to report reposts from the last 48hours(just an example) without having to downvote people(not their fault they want to share something with the community that was recently shared, or at least not ALWAYS their fault) or without reporting it as Spam or Abuse(which should be saved for the gore/porn/etc).


You are smart people, I am sure you can work out the gritty details if you decide to move forward with this idea. Thanks for listening/reading!

I'm sorry Sushubh, but there are no plans on doing this. JavaScript makes browsing through images in albums extremely quick and easy because the page does not have to be refreshed.
