http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/885964.html - Include a "Mark All Read" button at the top of the message inbox, as there is on the bottom. Comments request this be expanded to include the “Delete All” button. [In DW Suggestions]

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/889605.html - 1. Don't allow blank PMs to be sent. 2. LJ form completion behavior - should be internally consistent, yes (PM form behavior mirrors Tag form behavior, for example - but should also be consistent with external standard form behavior?

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/890016.html - refresh message count in headers when deleting messages in inbox (only on the page where the messages were deleted from, not cross-tab or cross-window) Zilla 378

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/890470.html - need a better process for spam removal - fewer clicks, able to remove in bulk.

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/848476.html - Subscriptions management needs to be more powerful: Users need to be able to see how many subscriptions they have, directly. Zilla 326

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/850627.html - Remove the exclamation point from "Subject: [lj user] updated their journal!" (And every other place where there is an exclamation mark in an email! OMG! Ritalin! Yay!)

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/847292.html - Make inbox sortable. Includes sorting by user and by whether the message is from a user or a community.

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/815477.html - Identify which comment notifications in the inbox are from comments that have/have not been replied to.

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/824839.html - Allow subscribing to entries from a particular user in a community.

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/815318.html - Create custom notifications (say, when a particular username is used in a public post on one's friendslist, or a particular keyword)

~~http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/643881.html - Have the option of getting all notifications by email only and not use the Inbox at all.~~ (We've discussed this, and there are good reasons not to do it -- instead we'll make the inbox easier to use and bulk-delete items)

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/837018.html -- More flexible PM permission options (OP suggests this workaround - When you send a message to someone who can't normally PM you, you should get a confirmation screen with a warning and the option of adding them to the allowed list, e.g. 'If you send this message, this person will be able to reply to you for one week, in spite of your settings. If you would like this person to always be able to message you, ticky.')

Provide full options (Inbox, etc) for outside-of-journal comment notifications. Zilla 36

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/898112.html - In emails, provide some way to unsubscribe. For active accounts, this could include a link to the Manage Subscriptions page for active accounts. For inactive accounts, this could be an authcode link that would allow you to turn them off without logging in - maybe only offer this for News notifs, since they're the only ones most inactive people keep getting.
- Counter-suggestion in comments: "You are receiving this message because you have a LiveJournal account. If you no longer wish to receive these announcement messages, click [here]. If you no longer wish to receive ANY e-mail from LiveJournal, click [here]." Then, it would take the user to a confirmation page where it would say "This e-mail address will no longer receive any e-mail from LiveJournal (or "copies of news and announcements.") To undo this setting, do FOO."
- Bonus points if it can turn off the selected notifications for all accounts using the same email address. Otherwise if someone turns it off for one account, the next News post could still be sent to them under another DW account, making it look like the unsubscribe request was ignored.

In emails, always state the username(s) that is signed up for the notification. People with multiple accounts they've forgotten about often can't figure out why turning off news notifs doesn't work.

At top of Manage Subscriptions page, have a row of checkboxes you can use to select your default notification methods that will be automatically selected when you create a new subscription. LJ's default is Inbox and email only, but this would allow each person to choose their own default.

Make HTML in private messages either be parsed or display, rather than vanishing.

Have private messaging be turned on/off from Manage Subscriptions, not Edit Profile - or at least provide a link from the former to the latter!

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/677044.html - In comment notification emails, put the new comment at the top and the "this was a reply to" part underneath.

user may get email copies of private messages they send, not just those they receive http://community.livejournal.com/lj_advisory/1183.html?thread=30623#t30623 FIXED

mark "Add friend" message in ESN 'read' if you've already added them http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/778214.html

After an action has been taken on some notifications (e.g. mark as read, mark as unread), de-select the check boxes ready for the next action http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/778475.html

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/795518.html - use linked page numbers for navigation instead of only having 'prior page' and 'next page'; this makes sense for users who keep everything, and have multiple pages of inbox listings
