Ideas

[Mark]

There are a few things that I can think of that for me personally would improve my experience of using the site and app:

1)  If after watching a video if it could be marked as played/watched that would be great for me as I often lose track of what I’ve seen or not seen etc.  

2)  As mentioned elsewhere, to be able to download episodes for offline or audio only consumption would be great so I second this.

3)  To be able to create a playlist of videos would be a nice to have too.

4)  The Favourites section doesn’t seem to work for me as I can add videos to my favourites but I am unable to remove them.  I can un-mark them as a favourite but they stay in my list.  Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

That’s it for me and thank you for opening up this topic.  😁

another one is – why to restrict the comments under the videos on certain characters only? very difficult to type

partially – at comments under videos and also in the forum, when something is not allowed – maybe – the text is too long etc – 
the forum or comment under the video doesnt work anymore, and I have full loss of all I typed – for me very terrible, becaue, my comments are quit long ….

how about posting documents like pdf,, doc, txt etc under Videos and forum?

please help us – I think this do think a lot of other members … Thank You

My ideas to improve this forum:

PM’s personal messaging
and easy quote functions

Hey @Mark!

1)  If after watching a video if it could be marked as played/watched that would be great for me as I often lose track of what I’ve seen or not seen etc.  

This is a feature that actually worked on the platform in the past. It had to be disabled when we were forced off of our original video streaming solution because it was causing serious buffering issues with the new provider. However, at this point we’ve built our own encode / streaming back-end, so it’s high time that per-user watch progress and a “Continue Watching” feature be restored.

2)  As mentioned elsewhere, to be able to download episodes for offline or audio only consumption would be great so I second this.

Absolutely, this is one that we’re keen to include as well.

3)  To be able to create a playlist of videos would be a nice to have too.

Okay, this is interesting. I haven’t thought to do this yet, but I don’t see why not.

4)  The Favourites section doesn’t seem to work for me as I can add videos to my favourites but I am unable to remove them.  I can un-mark them as a favourite but they stay in my list.  Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

I think this just comes down to caching. If you wait a few minutes after “un-favoriting” an item it should eventually work its way out. We’re working to switch over many of the api endpoints that serve the data on all of our carousels pretty soon, so I can tweak that caching behavior then and make it less aggressive.

Better video comments are a top priority for us to start on within the next few weeks. It coincides with another big feature that I can’t announce here yet, but we absolutely know that the current video comment system is garbage.

I didn’t realize the forum was clearing out your content when a restriction was met, I’ll take a look at that when I can. As far as pdfs, docs, etc, this could be done, but there are a lot of security risks that would need to be tackled for it to be properly implemented. I don’t think we’ll go down that road anytime soon, unfortunately.

Thanks for the suggestions, keep em rolling.

Quoted replies would definitely help out right now trying to respond to everyone 😂. This shouldn’t be too hard to enable, I’ll stick it on my list of forum to-dos.

PM’ing then is actually already supported, but we’re just not ready to handle all of the harassment mitigation and moderation that we would need to implement for it to be safe for the company to allow. There are a lot of ways that could come back to bite us if we don’t handle it properly. With that said, we have discussed it and its definitely in the cards, just not at the top of our list yet.

Thank you!

Comedy… In a world full of potential to parody we could do with a little comedy 😊I get that comedy isn’t easy, I mean we’re all so delicate these days! For me, it’s my release. We’re on the verge on WW3, the alien invasion and the return of the (add your messiah here)… it’d be nice to laugh a little 😊 

I’m not saying hire Spitting Image to make a few Rothschilds or do a Come Fly With Me ‘Lolita Express’ (or Mr Bean Goes Adrenochrome Harvesting) 😊, just something to tickle a little…

Just an Idea.

@Josh

Thanks for responding so quick. Another problem I have spotted now is that the link function does not work. When I try to post a link in an answer, it will not go through.

@Roy

You should be able to use the insert/edit link button on the toolbar to [insert both internal and external links]. But just copy and pasting it in won’t immediately recognize it as such. Maybe I should put this on my list as well (would definitely be more convenient).

@dreamtripping

Hello! I’ll make sure the content team sees this one

[JD]

Heya, 👋 thought a good idea might be to have button above the comments underneath the video for each show that goes straight to the forum for extra talk or comments

[Roy]

@Josh. The insert link tool do not work, but when I posted a link directly without using any of the buttons, the link worked.

@Josh – thank you for your help and technical feedback

Hi Dreamtripping, Thank you for your suggestion. This has been noted and passed along to our content team. Have a great weekend 😊

@Roy

Can you send over some info through the contact form at the help center on the main site: https://ickonic.com/HelpCentre

– Device OS
– Browser name and version

Don’t post it here, because I don’t want any personal info public, but the form on that page that I linked will get it through to the team and then I can take a look and check if we have a compatibility issue.

Thanks!
