Suggestion for mods: filter threads by media

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to make suggestions or provide feedback, or if this has been suggested and denied before. But this site is such a great resource for people, and could be even greater if users had the simple ability to filter threads, or even specific forums, to see posts with media only.

Thread filter option examples:
- All posts
- Text only
- Contains media

Benefits:
1. Users would be able to search for things much easier instead of clicking & scrolling through dozens of threads and pages.
2. This would reduce the amount of redundant posts in the “Requests” forum.
3. This would reduce the amount of reposts.
4. This would alleviate server congestion, as the search feature could be more accurate, and less users would be tediously clicking through long threads.
5. Better user/community retention as people would be less likely to give up their searches and look elsewhere.

There are a lot of thread comments that are just “so hot” or “more?”, and being able to navigate without loading entire pages of this would be a net positive. This will not diminish the quality nor frequency of discussions in the community here, as platforms flourish more when people can navigate them easier.

Some days I would like to know if a video exists of something without creating a whole new thread to ask about it. Other days I just want to find specific content of cute stories or sexy animals faster.
My constructive criticism is also based on the fact that the #1 critique I have heard over the years about ZV is its difficult navigation.

Thank you for your time.
 
This but adding the chance to filter by if the post has pictures or video, since am mainly searching videos but I don't have the chance due to few time.

Yes exactly. Having a "filter posts: contains video / image / gif" would make this site so much more navigable!
In the meantime simply because it's easier, even just having "contains media" would be so helpful
 
What would be helpful on this site, is if content posters would give a brief caption about the media they post. A lot of media gets posted without any comments, or maybe something little useful like "Something I found on the web" or "old BF stuff". The search function does not get far with those captions.

That would certainly help. Hard to hold people to that standard, especially since I’m betting half the people posting only have one hand available at the time lol ;)

But it all goes back to improving the search & filter capabilities of the site
 
Any change that you can imagine requires manual changes in code or installation of a new plugin is extremely unlikely to be implemented.
1. Plugins cost money.
2. Changes in code do not survive and make upgrades more complicated.
3. The forum is old and difficult to upgrade already, non standard things may break it even more.
Also all changes like this have to be done either by the admin Floofy or by someone who has access to the bare metal sever. Mods do not.
 
There is something I found as a setting that will show all media when you click on one. Mainly images I believe. It will gather all of them in one collage in a thread.
But don't expect anything though.if the media mod had more work put into it. That could've stayed. But mods had barely any access.
 
There's a lot of good information on here from all of the users who took the time to share. But out of curiosity what if you wiped the whole site clean and start over???
