Posting Wishlist
From Dreamwidth Notes
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/880379.html -- adding link to a page of the LJ-specific/LJ-accepted HTML to the static header and footer. Useful counter-suggestions in comments include making a unified FAQ with this information that is linked solely on the Post an Entry page, with a mouseover tag indicating why it's of import.
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/902330.html - add basic HTML "cheatsheet" to the HTML Editor page, whether clickable-to or visible on the page. Original suggestion was shredded to bits by people fearful of the HTML Editor turning into the ever-broken RTE.
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/904345.html - add a "now" button/link in the entry editor to update the time listed in the time slot. Supported by people who take longer to compose entries and want the entry time to reflect the time of posting rather than "the time I loaded the 'Update Journal' page."
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/848793.html - Users should have the ability to Recommend and maybe also Pan, posts and comments. "Panning" nearly universally derided, but perhaps some mileage in a Digg/[this is good]-style "I like this post"? Google Reader also has a "cool" recommendations aggregator: http://www.google.com/reader/shared/user/15650323335570657892/label/cool
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/849937.html - Posts which already have a cut tag should not be completely hidden if they are marked as having adult concepts or content; instead, they should be rendered as normal, with the warning page appearing between the cut and the full post. Some concern about potential abuse, but definite agreement that the adult warning pages are inelegant.
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/855934.html - I would like the time the entry was updated to be when the entry actually posts rather than when I first open the post page. General consensus that a button to "update to current time" would be better: see http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/904345.html
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/851162.html - Simply expand the 'Current Music' field into separate 'Artist' and 'Track' (and perhaps 'Album') fields so that users can gather and integrate the differential values in their LiveJournaling. General response: meh. :)
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/840636.html - Make Browse button for userpics appear for the full comment page (?mode=reply) the same way it does for quick reply.
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/843045.html - Add quote button to quick reply.
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/820859.html - Add one-click preview for quickreply
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/821199.html - Add rich text editor for comments (consensus seems to be that font size and font color should not be among the rich-text-editing options, though)
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/819871.html - Autosave when editing as well as when posting an entry (instead of only when posting)
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/823239.html - Offer per-user custom spellcheck dictionaries
- Add a word counter that tracks how many word have been written in a post - and possibly also a character counter for tags and subject line. It would be useful to see if you'll hit a particular word/character limit.
- Post Revisions similar to Wordpress - http://support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/. Backup the last x revisions, whether auto-saved or otherwise, of a post and have the ability to compare and revert to an earlier version. I would add that I would like to see the first version of a post to be saved as a backup option for comparing and reverting.
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/814051.html - Let journal owners see what filter a post of theirs is on - it was implemented so that journal owners could see that a post was filtered rather than just normally locked, but not to show what filter the post is using.
