Is it possible (or maybe it already exists?) to have a keyboard shortcut to go back and forth for highlights. Would make it much quicker/easier navigating massive threads.
 
Maybe this has been considered and rejected in the past, but perhaps pink joindates shouldn't be allowed in fast-moving happenings threads. They invariably contribute absolutely nothing and are a high risk of a fedpost getting through and fucking up the site.
 
Make separate navigation for blue/red highlights versus green highlights so people can find informative posts without skimming 1000 worthless opinions.

Yes I know this is only a problem on A&N and you hate A&N and I also hate A&N but this is literally the only website I can trust for timely information on any remotely politically charged happening.
 
The easy one: Maybe have overrides for custom titles that are local to a thread. A lot of people including me have thread-specific memes and in-jokes as a title and I'm not sure they alwaya want those to be global.

The important one: we need acessibility for those of us with the ideal aryan phisique (BMI 44), hence I suggest buying the domain kiwofarms.st to cut down on vrilfingering when typing the url on mobile.
 
With the growing popularity of PPPosting (e.g "HE'S (x), HE'S (y), HE's (z)!" ) type of memepost, an accompanying Smilie would be nice.

To replace reaction scores, the site could do an MBTI type of thing on a web chart that shows you what reactions you get.

It could be private to prevent farming, OR a high enough score could give you a badge for your profile picture to encourage a diversity of posting strategies and tones. So the A&N circlejerkers would all earn "likable", but if they want a rarer badge they'd need to be more original.
 
I was originally going to make a dedicated thread about my request to attract other people with the same concern but it turns out there was already a thread made back in 2016 about it and I figured that if I went ahead and made the thread anyways, it would be hand-waved away because of that which I wouldn't have liked because I really want this to become a feature.

Anyways, what I suggest is a built-in feature to disable YouTube embeds/embedded videos as a whole ON MOBILE (only also saying embedded videos all together as a good measure even though I've only faced this problem with YouTube). A very big pain in the ass when trying to navigate the site when mobilefagging is the fact the YouTube embeds freeze the site back to kingdom come. No matter how fast you try to outrun it, the page WILL try to load that video that you don't fucking care about by freezing for a bit and inconviencing you in what would be a smooth browsing experience. Even browsing a page that has at most 5 embedded YouTube videos on it is a bitch since the microstutters from loading said videos come to rear their head way faster than you expect them.

Now, a reason I say that this feature should be mobile only is because it doesn't make much sense for this to be a thing for computers. There are already many ways to circumvent any possible slowness of YouTube videos, whether utilzing ad-block filters to modify their behavior/how they function or just ouright blocking them with the many element blockers ad-blockers contain like with uBlock Origin or Brave's built-in one. Though, having to do this is moot anyways since a PC that isn't from the 2000's with a decent internet speed can already browse this shit fine.

On mobile, even when I'm at the comfort of my own home utilizing my 500 Mbit wifi, browsing the site is still a bitch because of videos. I don't think there's anything that can solve the freezes and micro-stutters these things produce. However, it's truly niggerhell when on data/LTE, when you're out an about and loading the homepage already takes like 7 to 9 seconds to load.

Another reason to have this be built-in to the site is to make is avaliable to everyone. See, Android users already have the ability to use extensions with their browsers, Firefox being the most notable one. They can already utilize uBlock's filtering/element blocking capibilites to a full extent (I think. In honestly really don't know what it's like but I'm assuming for the sake of arguement. It's very likely true).

Unfortunately for me and likely many others users, I'm Apples' bitch and am forced to deal with the limitations of IOS. Our ad-blocking is limited to DNS filters and built-in browser solutions that aren't as good as their desktop counterpart. I use Brave mobile. I could technically make a filter that blocks all YouTube embeds but that would be inconviencing me in other parts of web-browsing and this is a juice that I think is worth the squeeze. Having it built-in makes everyone happy with one unified solution.
 
If it is at all possible, can we get the option to mute people by thread instead of only site wide? Some people are usually great posters, but in particular threads they are completely retarded and/or respond to every bait post, making the threads hard to read.
 
If i may suggest something, the Community Feature tab is long as fuck and, despite being useful to tell the users what's new and whatnot, it would be better if it showed, like, 5 features and then you could click an arrow to the right to the left to go to more community features, it would make the website look cleaner.
I don't even know how it looks on mobile because i hardly use KF on my phone, but it's too much text on PC.

Wait, there's other stuff below the community features tab? I thought the proper way to use the site was to click one of those and then start typing inane thread tourist bullshit.
 
Perhaps there's a way to do this already and I don't know it because I'm retarded, but an easy way to attach an attachment on another post to one's own post, besides just using regular hyperlinks to the raw attachment URL? If not, could such a feature be added?

For example:

Someone posted in the Charlie Kirk thread about some furry sperging. Another user rightly calls him lazy for not archiving. In the latter post, a local archive is attached, but not inserted. Since the furry in question has a thread in animal control, I posted there with links to the original YouTube video, the PreserveTube archive, and the local archive attached to @Not A Cat Person's post.

Is there a way I can reference the attachment in Not A Cat Person's post so it appears on my post like this, and can thus be inserted like any other attachment, instead of downloading and re-uploading as a fresh attachment?

My rationale here is to avoid duplicate attachments which needlessly suck up disk space, and save Null a little bit of money on storage costs. One attachment like this might be nothing by itself, but across the millions of posts in this forum, deduplicating attachments has potential to save a lot of space. Using plain links the raw attachment URL accomplishes this goal, but at the cost of not being able to embed media directly in the post like with other attachments.
