[All of this is from the perspective of a brand-new user of the site. I hope this is helpful.]
On the tag definitions page:
1. This might be fixed already, but I think there (used to be?) still places where the tags were shown as abbreviations or acronyms. In the tag definitions list, any tag that (still?) shows as an abbreviation should be listed. For example, "Multiple (Mult)" or "MaleSub (Male Submissive)", "ENF (Embarrassed Nude Female)". More examples are RAAC and BTB.
2. Sort the tags into alphabetical order, OR, add group headings as they are on the author's posting page (with the checkboxes). To a newbie reader, the long list appears very disorganized.
3. The list of Genres is not sorted. Not by popularity, and not in alphabetical either.
On the list of stories pages.
1. The very first thing shown is a non-functional "Jump to contents" link that doesn't actually do anything in my browser.
2. By examining the source code, I figured out that the disc icon is marking read/unread. I have no idea what the flag does, even though I've been on the site for years. Ideally, they should be explained at the top of the list. Or they could go to the bottom with the "* Not enough votes" footnote.
3. For the sake of us who have issues scrolling, the "Add/edit notes" icon should be either (a) in the upper right next to the disc and flag icons, or (b) on the same row as the Bookmark and Epub buttons. On a list of fifty stories, the extra lines take up a lot of space and require a lot of scrolling.
On the Quick Stories Search page.
1. The Search Again button is inside the table row of the first story listed, instead of being the first bordered table row next to the search box.
2. For some reason, on THIS particular page extended symbols such as curly quotes are shown as [?] symbols instead of what is expected.
3. The "* Not enough votes" footnote is missing.
4. The orange up/down "show details" toggle is not explained even thought this is the only page that uses it.
5. The read/unread disc and mysterious flag icons are missing.
On the front page of a story when you click "Show Details"
1. the "* Note enough votes" is missing. Ideally, it would show after, and only when it is being used. Like this:
##,### Words | Votes: * | Score: * (* Indicates not enough votes)
Story details, throughout.
1. The minimum number of votes to get past the asterisk is 20, I think. EXCEPT, if you post a vote on a story, the current rating (but not counting the vote you just cast) is revealed to you. The reveal is like getting a reward for voting, I guess. Can we LOWER the minimum to 15 or even to 12?
2. Are there any reasons comments aren't showing in the counters, like this:
##,### Words | Comments: * | Votes: * | Score: * (* Indicates not enough responses)
For comments, the minimum should be 5 instead of 20, I think.
