The advanced search has an option to filter results based on the type of content. Using that filter, you can limit the search results to only include stories, or only include visual art, and I find that feature really useful.
Is it possible to do the same when viewing a user's gallery, or when viewing their favourites?
(Or rather, I'm pretty sure it's not possible, but I think it would be a really valuable feature if we can manage to add it.)
The background on this is that I'm usually much more interested in finding stories than pictures, but stories can be in the minority on FA. Something I'd really like to be able to do is go to my favourite authors, and see what their favourite stories are.
Unfortunately the favourites galleries are usually mostly images (because FA is mostly images). It's hard to trawl through the galleries or the favourites page and identify all the story content, particularly because you can't always tell which is which from the thumbnails. Stories often have some artwork for the thumbnail, so they look indistinguishable from the other content until you click through.
