What other tweaks/functionality would make you use tshirtslayer more? Is there something really obvious it's missing?


judascrust's picture

I think maybe a "next" button would make things a little smoother, like if you click on a picture in shirts or battle jackets or action shots hit a "next" button to see the next picture in that catergory instead of going back and selecting another item. Maybe even a "random" button too, see a shirt, then a patch, then a cd/record etc...

Might be cool too if you could get a notice when someone follows you, help bring people together and all that gay shit hahaha

There's my 2 cents anyway!

cambotero's picture

yeah i remember it in the beginning, it was a useful button for those who were too lazy to search for stuff and wanted to see everything, like me. heheh

DethronedEmperor23's picture

I use tshirtslayer basically 24/7. Im always on here. So, my idea would be, maybe an easier way to look up a user? like how you can just type their names when youre going to send a message to them, but as a searchbar here? Also yeah would be cool if you could have a notice to see how many people follow you.

Vertigo's picture

Agree with the idea of following notification. As a junior here, I'm really keen on knowing who's following me now haha.

Plague's picture

I third the idea of a following notification. Would be nice to know who likes ur collection.

Direct chat between users or friends, Like on facebook. The possibility to chat when someone in your friend/folowlist is online, communication between users will go much faster instead of sending mails. The chatbox here is no succes, but the possibility to chat directly with someone whos online with the permission of both users ofcourse, would be cool and Communication between users will be much more smooth! Think about it Doc, cheers

DethronedEmperor23's picture

damn, some great fucking ideas!

BeefCakeAssThrash's picture

when you trade with someone, there's always gonna be a security risk.. even if the other trader is a reliable one, postal service might fuck something up.. you never know. It's a risk you have to take. I think an instant chat might smooth the process up a little bit, while even being able to still see the previous messages sent to one another, like with Facebook. if something fucks up with the trade, we could then maybe share the chatlog with you.. Sounds like a swell idea to me, don't know how it sounds to you tho.. you're the boss :P

if it possible to bring back the vote system by flames, where u could see the most liked items on this site voted by the total number of flames.

Judas Priestess's picture

I agree.
It also would be nice to add a notification for when someone favorites your uploads.

PForx's picture

The problem is that most people here either vote 5 flames or they don't vote at all. Some people of course give lower ratings, but it would still be way too many items with 5 full flames.

odder7's picture

maybe a way to look up 'most favorite'd' or some means to look at the 'most looked at' pages like on my favorite porn sites (LAWL). I love being able to see what is being looked at the most. Turns me on to some good shit usually. At least on porn sites. ;p

gizter's picture

hahaha. i read ''turns me on'' and it made so much sense, but it wasnt the full sentence yet.
but it does need to have a time limit for the most watched. i think at my favorite porn site they have like most watched in the last 48 hours or something. otherwise it will always be the same.
since TSS isnt as heavily uploaded as that site, maybe go by week or month.

PForx's picture

I can think of a few practical problems with "most favorited", but "most watched last 7 days" seems like a good idea.

viohead's picture

Enable searching for a specific album or related merch in the sale/trade section.

Kathulex's picture

Ability to search for specific users

Putting "search everything" button as far from "logout" button as possible on mobile versions

Next and previous buttons for main page sections (newest shirts and jackets) and userpages

My $0.05

DethronedEmperor23's picture

A Tss mobile app would be great too

Morbideath's picture

yeah im with this too, but knowing it would cost hell. devloping an ios app and andriod app is bit too much for such a site i think

Morbideath's picture

it is. can't ask any more

nuclearthrasher666's picture

A limitation of the number of items a member can upload in one day. How many time have we see some new member uploading 50 t-shirts or patches/cds in one day? It's really annoyng when you or another member uploads a cool item and 20 mintes later it's "buried" by 40 new ones because someone thought is a good idea to upload his WHOLE collection all at once. It's even worse if you have something for sale or trade. So if there was a limit of 3-4 new items for each category per day everyone whould have more time to display their items and all the other members whould have more time to see it, comment etc.

DethronedEmperor23's picture

YES. THIS.

Bayernpirat's picture

i think this is stupid, when I have only one day to work really at TSS, I´ll put on 20+ uploads from the last weeks at once, why should this got reduced?

nuclearthrasher666's picture

If you upload 20+ items at once you don't leave any space for other user to upload and display their items. Even your own items will be "buried" and ignored if you upload them all at once. Their is no point to upload them just to exist it the tss data base right ?

nuclearthrasher666's picture

Those features are great if I want to search for a specific item or items of a specific band. But is really awesome if you discover a new item when you just enter the main page of the site . After all the whole point of tss is to display/show your collection and comment, rate, trade, sell etc. with other members not just to upload it online ! This limitation will affect mainly new member not old ones because most old members have already upload the majority of their items. It would encourage newcomers to spend more time here insted of droping off a load of pictures and then go away. And everyone will have more time to show their new items .

judascrust's picture

good points!

judascrust's picture

I get what you're saying here but for me, some of the shirts I've uploaded are for some local bands near me, bands that I'm sure many users here haven't heard of and would probably never search for and just as a fan I'd like to give them a little exposure by posting the shirts... its kind of a bummer that a smaller, lesser known band has to lose out on some exposure because someone goes and uploads their collection of 100 of the same maiden / priest / big 4 / overkill etc shirts we've all seen a million times......its even worse when they're all slightly differing variations of the same band / tour / album...

I've also uploaded a couple of shirts for some bigger bands that no one else has posted before or since (so far) and again, a rare, unseen shirt that might interest someone could go unnoticed because of someone's mass upload session....no disrespect to anyone who owns a giant collection and simply wants to share it and I know putting limitations infringes on the other users' freedoms but I'm just saying :P

Joel's picture

No shit! The first time I uploaded that Sabbath box set I just bought last week, it was buried half a page down within a couple of hours because this new Portuguese member Flame was uploading what seemed like dozens of items! It must have been viewed by a whopping two people the first time around.

PForx's picture

I agree with the "see who is following you" thing.

DethronedEmperor23's picture

also a notification when someone comments on your thread or one of your items, thatd be very helpful to keep up to date.

gizter's picture

you already get an email, and a pop up at the bottom of your screan when it happens when you are online.
you can also see if there are new/unread coments on your pics when you look at them on your profile. says so in red below the upload.

[edit] just see its in white, thought it was red.

danielucifer's picture

A "View Random Collectable"-button would be cool.

danielucifer's picture

I always assumed that's part of the design, so I nether bothered to click it. Well...

gizter's picture

still waiting for a way of knowing if anyone put one of your uploads in ther favorites

oldmate's picture

yea I would like to be able to list all my items that have a new comment. If I miss the email and someone comments on something old, it can go un noticed for awhile.

danielucifer's picture

Groups sorted by genres will lead into a huge confusion, since too many bands can't be put into a clear genre. Someone will post a Venom shirt into the Black Metal group and suddenly all hell breaks lose and the unnecessary arguing starts.

odder7's picture

'Most looked at" or "most favorite'd" like at PornHub lawl.

NocturnalOccultist's picture

Enable "search" at the forum section

hector.kirkwood@gmail.com's picture

How about enlarging the pictures of the cd/vinyl/patch/poster etc section?, those pictures are fucking tiny!!!
the same size as the battle jackets at least :)

MasterDeath's picture

^This
Also it would be great if you could hover over the photo and have that photo zoomed.
I think it's not that bad idea since like any other member here I would love to see the details on the certain shirt/vinyl/jacket/patch/etc.

DeathDealer's picture

Little flags of the country people live in in front of the username on their personal page, So you can see immediately from witch country they are instead of looking at their comments

ThomasMustaine's picture

I really like the statistic stuff and I'd love to see more of them, like proper rankings by band, type of merch, or country!

oldmate's picture

Maybe add a "pins" type ?? personally I would like to just look at all the different pins.. but that might just be me :)

oldmate's picture

also when I am tracking myself it would be handy if I could filter the results. like only list forum activity or posts on shirts that sorta stuff

what do you think about a new comers fourm, where new members can say hello and intro themselves ?

oldmate's picture

1 more thing, would it fit if you had the top 5 tshirt guessing game leaders on the main page and also who won the last one ? next to or below the image ?

meaningless's picture

no idea which other feature TSS needs...but i can tell ya what i rly dont like...
When i click on 'Reply' ...the whole page moves to the top..so i can only see my field for the command..and everything below...

gizter's picture

meaningless's picture

meaningless's picture

omg..thx so much Doc, ur the best!!! :D its like before :D yay :D thx very much :D

Apa's picture

Would it be possible to sort of connect a new upload to a previous one if it's an update of the same item? In some cases there is multiple uploads to a band that is actually the same things because people upload several versions of their vests. Some way to add that your upload is an update of a previuos upload and then only the new bands are added to the count. It would also make it easier to find older and newer versions of an item.

Apa's picture

Awesome! :)

Nater90's picture

Awesome as fuck emoticons like MSN chat had back in the day and we can pinch each others....Nah not really...

Instead of voting stuff in flames we should rate it out of rubber duckies like I do for my radio show, The rubber ducky is the most metal of bath toys and I have one that rides shotgun with me in my car

I second the motion

Tahini's picture

I dont know if this has ever been discussed in the forum (a quick google search within the site points to no) but how to treat bands with the same name? E.g. Orchid (screamo/hc band from Massachussets vs psychedelic rock/doom band from SF). Do we use the same system as in Discogs, with numbers in brackets after the name, we put something else in brackets (what?), we dont differentiate... ? Is there a way to pull the data from Discogs so when you input the name of the artist you get a selection menu or something? LastFM does it quite messily in my opinion.

Nater90's picture

Had an idea when you upload patches.

How you mark it as Sale, Sale or Trade etc, How about "Used" when you use it on a jacket.

&

When you upload to sell or trade, Mark as "Brand New" or "Second Hand"

Lic.Casas12's picture

Cheers Doc!
Please add an option to delete comments 'cause sometimes my english is very bad haha.

wolfskrieger's picture

How about deleting accounts or changing names?

Morbideath's picture

there's the long-time standing bug, not anything associated with the new features though. I still got random user name on my profile page tab......

Odiumediae's picture

What is the following functionality doing, aynway?

I mean, you've got some names of other's on your profile or your name on somebody else's profile, yes. Does it do anything I don't know of, yet?

gizter's picture

at the bottom of the homepage it shows when people you follow upload new items.

Odiumediae's picture

Aah! Very nice, I ddn't see that, thanks!

Nater90's picture

Not so much a function, But is possible to have a worldwide Tshirtslayer Day where we all get the day off work / school / life?

SatanicSmoke666's picture

How about the option to change our screen name.

576,663 items in the gallery, 883,477 comments, and 637 items have changed hands in the last month.
