The Glowfic Constellation

Do you have a setting, character, plot, art, or other notion that you wish to put on the Internet? This is the Internet! Whee!

I love the page numbers on the Tags Owed page! So convenient. <3

It'd be nice to be able to see 'my recent posts' without going trhough the Glowficcers page. Maybe make clicking the username in top left take you there, or a link in the Account page.

Basically, whenever I make a new page, I sort of arbitrarily throw a link up there and hope it's not in too weird a spot. I'm therefore slightly leery of duplicating this already-disorganized thing in more places, but it's still technically something that could be done if this is bothering people. Or is it just bothering people on mobile? I do have a way to check if people are on their phones.
Maybe just stick a 'scroll to top of page' button at the bottom of every page? Optionally just on mobile but I don't think those are that annoying even when they're superfluous, unless they like float in a way that blocks the page or something which I think is actually harder than just sticking a link at the bottom, why do people even do that :P .

Probably because it looks cool. People often sacrifice usability to make sure that things look cool, especially if it doesn’t impede usability that much on the machine they happen to use for development.

So when I'm on a thread's unread#unread link and I refresh, I end up on the first page of the thread. This seems... suboptimal.

Scroll to top was a great suggestion, thank you! I have implemented it in the fast but ugly way. I apologize. It's literally just a centered link at the end of the page, but hey, it'll take you to the top. (Or it should; please let me know if your browser of choice does not support linking to # as a jump-to-top.)

Page defaulted to 1 if it could not figure out a page, which in this case seems to have included the "you're trying to go to the unread post but you have read everything HALP NOW WHAT" case. Should be fixed now?

It is starting to become intractable to load all of the icons in all of my galleries every time I go to the galleries page. XD Maybe there should be some kind of galleries list view where I can go see a list of all my galleries (and maybe like, how *many* icons they have in them) but not all of the icons right then and there?

But I like seeing all my icons!

Maybe expand/contract options on the individual galleries, contracted by default, with an "expand/contract all" button at the top? (No idea how much work that would be, though.)

I mean, seeing all of your icons is good and valuable, I just don't want to have to do it every time I'm trying to add or edit a gallery. Also, the thing where I add icons to a gallery and get automatically redirected to the galleries page and have to ctrl+F back to the gallery can get a bit wearing.

omg though the icon galleries on the constellation are such an unbelievably positive addition to my icon-herding process
