Feature Requests and Bug Reports

As a Director, I would find it to be nice for the Actors to be able to see wether they have been shortlisted, as that, while being sad when they aren't casted, still is a feeling of success because being shortlisted IS in itself a little victory. So, I would find that pretty neat.

(I'm new to CCC but I couldn't find confirmation on this info/questions on the site or through email or through any tickets already submitted here on canny so I'd like to request this feature if it doesn't already exist.) I'd like for everyone who auditioned for a role to be notified whenever I post project updates. I'm a director/creator who's never auditioned on CCC, so as far as I can tell only folks who are following the project get e-mail notifications about project updates, but I wouldn't expect talent to follow every single project they audition for just so they can get updates. (After all, following every auditioned project would probably make for a very awkward and tedious chore of unfollowing every project where they're not cast.) Sometimes things change with the project before anyone is cast, so I'd like for everyone who auditioned to be caught up on those changes. My assumption is if they were interested enough to audition for a project, talent would probably prefer an easily dismissed notification for any updates on the project, but maybe there could still be an easy way to opt-out of update notifs for a project if they don't want them after all? If talent's audition is dismissed, should they be removed automatically from the updates notifications list? I don't know if most talent would prefer getting updates for a project that's continuing without them, but removing them automatically seems... rude? Someone may still be interested in the project despite not being cast, after all. Perhaps just a "turn off update notifications from [this project]?" clickable on the notification itself is best. It'd also be great if there was a way for them to Like or otherwise let me know that they saw the updates. Maybe a private Seen list for each update?

When searching, it's not possible to save the classification field, which determines whether looking for original works, fan works, or both. This is because the query parameter sent is "classification" (all code from SearchIndex.jsx): const data = { page: newPage ? 1 : page, payment: payment, classification: classification, order_by: order, search: search } ... getRequest('/api/v3/omnisearch/projects', data, (err, jsonData) => { ... But data is populated with the parameter "cl" (line 251): const [classification, setClassification] = useState(urlParams.get('cl') || 'all') If that were changed to look for urlParams.get('classification'), it'd work without issue.

dark mode feature would be perfect xD

Search bar is definitely crucial. It would be extremely helpful if users could search up projects/usernames.

I've rarely seen "Looking for a Quote" listed under paid projects that didn't immediately pick the first person who said they'd do it for free. This undercuts the professional community and punishes creatives who charge what they're worth and give perfectly reasonable quotes for their labor. If casting directors don't want to pay, they can save all of us some time and post a project as unpaid vs. "looking for a quote."

I already get a little red dot on the messages icon when I get a message. Why do I need to Mark As Read every message? It's incredibly annoying to see "You got a message!" And think maybe you've been cat for something, and it's just that project with 30 people in it and someone says "hello" and then everyone else says hello back, and you have to clear out all these worthless notifications.

I want a feature where you can delete people from your Followers List like on Instagram where they have that feature. Like if you have an ex boyfriend or some annoying person that you DO NOT want on your followers list because you just don't you can just remove them!

Many social media websites like Devianart, Facebook or Twitter has the "block feature" This site should NOT be an exception! I want a block feature so that people I no longer want to have contact can't follow me on my casting call page or see my auditions. When you block someone on this website much like facebook or twitter that person can't see nor hear your auditions & can't see your profile basically when they search for your username it will NOT pop up & it should say "User not found" or "You've been blocked from that user. If that person persists in making a sock puppet account so they can follow or stalk make sure that if they do that 3 or more times that harraser's account is IMMEDIATELY banned & can't make another account on their IP or another person's IP address I've seen that happened before some person stalked me online I blocked him several times on Devianart & his sockpuppet accounts that he eventually gave up trying to follow me
