Sounds like it could be useful and, I'd guess, easy to code. Stick it on trac for albert to consider.

It'd be nice if we had an order:random metatag like http://moe.imouto.org does.
Trac is where albert keeps track of bug reports and feature requests. You can make a new ticket to request a new feature. You just need to fill out the summary and description fields; don't worry about the other stuff.
However, the trac has been completely clogged with spam for a while now, so who knows if he'll see it.

It's like posting a technical support ticket, sort of. Go to http://trac.donmai.us/ and click New Ticket. Fill out the info, briefly describing what you want it to do. "Owner" is Albert. As for the other categories, I suppose "Type" would be Enhancement and "Priority" is minor (at least, this isn't critical or major anyway). I think you can ignore Milestone and Cc and Keywords, though keywords can't hurt.
This way it goes into a structured workflow for albert so he can address it when he gets a chance. Feature requests on the forums can get missed more easily (although it's good to post here as well, to get feedback on if it's even a good idea, which I think this is). Edit: Although evazion has a point about the spam. Jeeze, spam on a trac? I guess spammers have truly run out of places to spam on the internet. Now it's just getting surreal. Even so, this is probably more likely to get to albert there than a forum post.

For what it's worth, this Greasemonkey script hides all of the spam tickets that are currently on the trac.
I went ahead and closed all the present spam tickets.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

I've gotten those before. Trac comes back on its own after a little while.
