Suggestion : Folders within a folder.

Postby calidogz » Tue Jan 04, 2022 3:32 pm

Here's exactly what im thinking.

Many users who hoard, collect, & have multipule trade groups.. well.. have alot of confusing groups.
If we could make folders within folders, say, have a ''hoards'' folder, then everyone could put their hoards in that folder.

Basicly you have a mother folder and then a child folder in that one. I hope this makes sense ^^'

This function already exists in a limited way and quite a lot of people already use it or something similar.

You can make a Hoard "title" group, leave it empty (or fill it with a placeholder pet) and then make subgroups using numbers/letters. There's a few threads already about how to organize your pets (see this one for example) but here's how I organize mine, specifically using the Hoard group as an example.

I did this for quite a while, what im suggesting is a way to downsize the groups a user has. If you're trying to find a group of trades but the user has a million hoards (and some do) or they have them in hard-to-read fonts, its hard to find.

here is roughly what im suggesting. A dropdown off all the children groups branching off of the mother.

I do like @dogtreat as well and even if it's not "perfect", that's the best we can get with the current System..., knowing they are sorted/displayed alphabetically...

"If you're trying to find a group of trades but the user has a million hoards":
=> Well, not-trade Groups should be locked by "that User", and "that User" should think about placing their Trade Group(s) at the Top or at the End of the Group Structure if they want other Players to trade "easily" with them...

"in hard-to-read fonts":
=> ... Well, their Groups will remain in "hard-to-read fonts", I'm afraid...

+ Having collapsible (Sub-)Folders with a User with many Unlocked Groups would require a lot of Clicking to open/scroll/scroll back to close/close / open the next Folder/maybe open some next Sub-Folder/scroll in both directions/close/close / etc..., while with the current System, we just need to scroll once to have a look at their open Groups... (if the "Pets on your WL" Group is too large)...

+ The Tree Structure will probably "get lost" if any Group/Folder is open for Trades (Everyone/Friends/WL) but some "higher Level" Group/Folder is locked (or more "restricted")...
"Pragmatic Thinker"...
I don't try to read anymore when Users use ']Size=85[' (or smaller...!) on the Forum or in their Trade Rules..., as this is completely unreadable on Desktop in any Browser...!

I usually have Sigs turned OFF, (except Events), because of too many heavy ('.gif') Pix (metered Connection, I pay per Mb), and I don't want to know the SPR Orientation of other Players on a Game Site...
Current: Sigs turned OFF...! (Feb 2023: I don't read/post on the Forum anymore after getting a Board Warning...)

The Pets from my 'Special & Rare Pets' Group are open for (nice!) Trades / True Date Swaps...

- Owls - (=> 11 missing...!) // - Staff Dogs - [2010-2019] COMPLETED...!! (Missing 2x [2020] + 2x [2021].)
"Big" Dreamies: Animal Eggs #45(2014) + #100(2022). (Missing x15 in total...)
All Animal Eggs I already have are visible in this Group, with their corresponding Pet...
