Suggestion Box, Nearly April Edition in Suggestion Box

I wouldn't mind the ability to follow someone on a per book level... I.e. if they post annoying crap in one book but you want to read their normal entries....

edit notes?

As long as we don't adopt Whiskey Wednesday, I'm okay. I'm a Native American, my momma said to not partake of the fire water :(

Yay! I can't wait to see what nice-to-have stuff you implement. :)

I definitely can't wait for back dating!

I'd like to be able to see who is following me, not just who has friended me.

A nice paid feature might be to get notifications about who has added/deleted you.

How about a way to distinguish between male and female diarists? Sometimes, it's hard to tell who is and isn't.

Lock the header!

Oh, and the other thing would be a way to back up your box.

I'd really REALLY like to be able to export, even if it's just to a simple text file. Not being able to have a back up makes me twitchy.

I like the idea of adding an interests section especially if they are searchable people often are looking for support and having people with common interests is always a good thing.

The ability to reply to a note from the Comments section rather than having to go back to the entry, find the comment, and click reply would be wonderful.

Really, though? This site is GREAT.

I miss the Diary Circles, it was easy to create community with people based on topics of interest.

Comment deletion feature is awesome.

however, can we have it like this instead, ie if I want to delete my comments in others' entries, I can only delete my comments but others' comments in that thread will remain undeleted (unless those noters delete them later).

Or alternatively, set a time limit, for eg after a few hours none of the comments can be deleted except by the entries' owners.

At least we can have control on keeping notes which others leave in our books. The thought of noters returning back to delete their notes which ultimately erase out others' notes in the threads (including entries' owners' comments in thosr threads).....I find that worrying.

The thing where you can add basic stats (age/sex/location) to find other similar users (or get a ballpark idea of where this person is coming from, life experience wise).

Wow, that's a lotta suggestions. I would like it if we got notified if one reader commented on another reader's note--right now, I only see notifications if someone comments on an entry I wrote or a note I left--not if they comment on another reader's note on my entry. Does that make sense?

Otherwise, it's just grand.

Import function....

I vote for Dinosaur Thursdays next, but that may be a prehistoric notion.

It bears iteration ad infinitum that you are doing an absolutely amazing job!

Rock on!

Can we get a calender view and/ or ability to download our books? I found back on OD that without those two it became very had to track my writing.

Thanks.

I would like to be able to reply to a comment from my comments page rather than being redirected to the entry.

I'd still like a search feature. :)

Please don't change the way note deletion works. As it is, you can delete your own comments, and you can delete comments on any content you post (either comments or entries).

That's fair, and appropriate.

I want a unicorn. And a puppy dog. And an ice cream cone. Like so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4g4oV8lK4s

Good stuff. I like the comment deletion. That obviates need for comment editing/preview in a simple way. I'm thinking that maybe, though, if I leave a comment and the recipient deletes it, I'd still want record of it in my "Comments Sent."

What about some kind if hit counter for entries, based either on total raw hits or distinct users? I sometimes like to know, if an entry that I have written doesn't get many comments, is it because no one read it or because they just had nothing to say about it?

About the only other thing I can think of is ability to save a book to a file as text or html.

Having different friend groups is something I miss.

But loving your work!

I was wondering if you're thinking about taking the site fully mobile? I can't find a way to post pics from my camera roll to Prosebox. I think a fully mobile integrated site would be awesome. Mostly because I want to add pictures from my iPhone.

so is there an editor setting on here for entries? Like on OD we could put codes in there that would just show up every time you wrote an entry so you didnot have to always load them.. like if I always wanted the this code to show up in my text every time I wrote? <img src=" Pic here" class="center-block"/> is there a way to do that?

How about being able to upload images directly from your computer?

In many ways I've liked ProseBox BETTER than OD, but I kind of miss the "circles" feature. It was kind of nice to have a separate place where people with special interests could go to find and share entries about a common topic. I found a lot of my friends/bookmarks that way!

If this has been suggested before ignore me but. I would like to have better profiles available so we can search maybe by age, location, sex, etc. I would like to find more people to read.

Ability to mark a bookmarked entry as unread so you can remember to go back to it easily?

I would love to have the ability to page break with a visible line. Is that already there somewhere and I've missed it? If not, Is there a code that I can use? Thanks

The new editor seems to have some quirky behavior for me (as usual, IE11/Win8.1). I think what you're trying to do is not have a scrollbar in the edit box, it just grows in size as you type and rely on the page's scrollbar in the browser. The problem is that the size of the edit box doesn't seem to grow quite as fast as the content, so I have some content I can reach by scrolling the cursor but there aren't any scrollbars. The total lack of border around my typing area is also irksome.

Fix, pretty please? :-)

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before (apologies if it has!) but what's the general consensus on needing to use < br > for line breaks? I personally find it a drag, especially if I'm writing a long list. I'd love to not have to write or copy/paste < br > over and over. Maybe I'm the only one who feels that way? Not a huge deal, but figured I'd mention it as a nice-to-have suggestion. P.S. Congrats on 5000 users!! Woooo!!

I have a suggestion/request. I don't know if this would even be possible, but I've found myself moving entries into another (private) box after a week or so. Unless there's an easier way to do this, I've been having to edit each individual entry to change which box I want it in. It's not a huge issue right now, but if I want to continue doing this, I'm going to have to do it at least once a week, to avoid editing a shit ton of entries at once. So, would it be possible to move entries into other boxes without individually editing them?

Also, when I hide the "current news", is there any way to "unhide" it? I had to search for your account to post this, since I couldn't figure out how to unhide the news.

I'd love a feature similar to the "jump to newest entry" button that was under notes on OD!

I am real disappointed and frustrated with the default entry order. I write an entry it goes to the top of the heap like that's my first chapter.. I have 3 entries or chapters and my introduction is at the bottom of the heap and my 2nd chapter is at the top. So someone comes a long and clicks on what they think is the first chapter and they are confused. I think entries should be at the bottom of the list by default. I also suggest that the entries, or chapters if you will should be able to be rearranged after the fact.

Three things.

1) When you hit enter you dont get a line break. That is bad. 2) You should have some kind of counter so you see how many who reads a specific entry. 3) You should be notified if anyone following your diary.

I wouldn't mind seeing a button to lazily center something.

I really would like a download feature. a simple text file would be ok. But I don't like that there is no way at this point to download the entries. I have to write them in a program like notepad to add onto my previous entries to keep them all together. Then copy and paste and then work on certain formatting that I would like for this entry. Double work. If you could do this, I would certainly write more, but at this time, I hate the thought of possibly losing everything I am writing. Thank you.

How do we all feel about bookmarks disappearing after they've been read? Sometimes I like to go back to them and I'm having a heck of a time finding them anymore.

I am sure someone has mentioned this before, but will there be a "download your diary" feature in the offing?

Editing SNAFU

I am having problems with the order of my entry chapters.

Notice on the right hand side a box titled "3 published entries" underneath the title are a list of 3 entries. The last entry in the list is "My complaint is lengthy" I want that entry to be the first entry in the list, but I don't know how to rearrange the order or if it is even possible.

The first entry in the list "Attorney misconduct bureaucracy." I want to be the last entry or currently the 3rd entry in the list. But I don't know how to do that.

When I start writing a story and enter chapters as I write them, the first chapter and subsequent chapters are continually pushed down to the bottom as I add each chapter. Hypothetically, I finish the book and I have a list of chapters and someone comes along and reads my book. The person quite naturally starts reading the very first entry. The very first entry at the top of the list, is the very last chapter of my book. So that someone reading the top entry is reading the ending rather than the beginning.

The default always puts latest entries to the top of the heap, including the final chapter, or last entry of the book being at the top, or first entry. I write my books chronologically forward. If I wrote my chapters starting with the ending and go from there, this would not be a problem. I don't know anyone who writes backwards chronologically.

Last thing, Is it possible that I can rearrange the entries to whatever. That would solve my problem too. Look at my entry list on the right of my screen. How can I manipulate the entries in the order I want them to be in? If this can't be done it can't be done.

I hope you understand. I have been trying to figure this out before make anymore entries. Thank you so much for your concerns. I really, really appreciate it.

"G" the back dating trick worked; however it is a very convoluted way of doing business I should say. Thanks for the tip my friend, I appreciate it. As for Wikispace, I need to research the matter. I may end up over there at some point; although, as a journaling site, NOT A BOOK CREATING SITE, Prosebox is friendly. It is beyond me why they refer to "create a book" all the time.

"G" one last question. When I back date the entry or sometimes called "chapter," let say 3 weeks back, will the posting go through just posted. That is will the back dated entry be seen by people as a current entry to make comments on?

I realize this may have already been suggested, but is there a plan for downloading our Boxes? Perhaps a premium feature?

Also, it would be helpful if the title-entry box would default to today's date if it is not populated by the user. I see a lot of people complaining about it (I don't get the issue, but peh.)

Staying here, FWIW. I see nothing that appeals to me over there. If this place folds, I'll consider it a sign that 15+ years of semi-public journaling was enough.

How about a paid version (yearly? monthly?) to have a book w/out ads?

Just a note to thank you for the options on Bookmarks to show Unread/Recent/All. Or whatever they are. I like them. I like to go back to ones I've read and leave notes later or see what other notes are there. Thanks again.

I was wondering if there will be an option in future to mark unread bookmarks as "read". I'm starting to get behind on reading entries and it gets overwhelming watching them pile up on my bookmarks list. Maybe I have too many bookmarks. lol

Am I missing the May Suggestion Box? Oh well, I will put it here anyway. So, I noticed the other day that on the comment page (where I read my notes instead of on each individual entry) I noticed that I don't see replies to those notes I doubt it would happen very often, or maybe it does and I just don't see it, but there could be a conversation (or a fight, who knows!) and I would never know it unless I go to the actual entry. Not sure if anyone else is interested in seeing ALL comments, including replies, on the Comments page, but it sure would be nice from my point of view :)

I would love to be able to mark entries on my bookmark page as "read" even if I haven't, to clear out the entries I'm not interested in reading without having to click through to them.

When I build a link, in Open Diary I generally had an external link open a new tab/window (a href="URL here" target="new" > description of URL < /a) [ of course, the parentheses would be replaced by ' < ' and ' > ' ] . However, if the link went somewhere else in my own diary, I usually did not have it open a new tab/window, simply by skipping the 'target="new"' term.

How do I disable the 'target="new"' function here that seems to be automatically included whenever the system detects a link that I've written?

Good work overall. Thank you.

I think this has been brought up before, but could we have private entries? I don't know about anyone else, but sometimes I just like to write things out and look over them myself, without anyone else's input.

is there a way to export your books, or even a printable version of entries? I used to print off a lot of my entries on Open Dairy before they went under, just so I always had a hard copy of my entries. Just wondering. Maybe there already is and I just haven't quite figured it out yet.

Have I missed the way to get enntries out of my bookmarks when I don't ever want to see them again?

I think I phrased the above question badly. Trying again: Have I missed tye way to get entries out of my bookmarks if I do not whih to read that particular entry at all.? And, thank you for your very prompt reply.I'm still not used to someone actually being there,

Not sure if it's been suggested, but I was thinking an optional view counter might be cool. Sometimes I'm just curious to know if people have read an entry, but without comments, there isn't a way to tell.

Is there a list of current users somewhere? I'd like to see that.

So, you know there's unread, latest and all bookmark tabs? Well how about a "favourites" tab where we can, say "star", our favourite books and have them come up as unread in the favourites tab. That would be cool.

I know I'm really late, but.....

What about a preview button for changing your icon picture?

I think the default should be "all" when clicking the bookmarks link. Currently the default seems to be just to display the unread ones. The problem is, if you don't leave a comment the first time you see an entry, it doesn't show up next time you click bookmarks and you forget it.

Not sure if it's already possible or not, but I'd like the ability to mark an entry "unread". Often times, I read an entry but want to come back to it later to finish reading it or to note on it and I don't want to have to dig through the "all" bookmarks to find it.

just a thought. thanks.
