HGG Community Forums

I've had an account for a few years but only started actually playing 3 days ago. I've had a few thoughts I decided to share. It's entirely possible some of this already exists and I just don't know how to find it. XD I've been having a lot of fun for the most part and I'm really enjoying the game so far!

Barn images
I'm guessing this has been suggested before, but I'd love to be able to see a thumbnail image of my horses in my barn! Even if only in tiled view, which I don't usually use, or maybe a third view of images and names only? I maybe wouldn't use it all the time, but it would make me very happy to be able to see all my horses images without having to go through the search. I love being able to admire all the different colors I've managed to get, and seeing the names just isn't the same.

Basic playing info
I'm not sure what to call this, but I think it would be super helpful to have like a bullet point list of important beginning player tips or suggestions on things to do and/or things to keep in mind as you play. I have in mind something like stalls can't be added to barns or herd helper horses can be gained from shared links in the forums and can often have much better stats than plainly made horses. They are mentioned in their respective areas, but it's easy to miss them at first.

Important Links
This is kind of tied in with the previous, but I hunted So Much for information on what a certain herd helper actually does that I ended up bookmarking it in my browser because I can't find it again when I want it. Links to this and other similarly useful pages, or perhaps a My Bookmarks tab on the nav bar in the left? would be incredibly handy. Here again this is one of those things that you can technically find, but it's really hard at times and would save some frustration by being easier to access.

Search additions
I would so love to be able to do a search for custom breed names! I was and still am very curious about the ones in existence right now and it would make coming up with my own much easier. I think it might be fun to collect horses with custom breed names but that's difficult to do without being able to look for them. Being able to search for members by name instead of ID would also be helpful.

Chat name links
A small thing here, but I'd love to have names in chat that link to the person's page or stable or something. I know you can scroll through and find them in the membership list and click that if they happen to be a member. Having the name in the chat link would just be more convenient. This one I'm not sure if it's possible though depending on how the chat is coded.
