Suggestion Box, July (it's too hot) Edition in Suggestion Box

It is too hot, ugh.

Any update on importing entries from saved OD to PB? I ask because my husband asked me today when he had his heart surgery. Where is that info? In my OD. I used to just skiddaddle through my entries to locate whatever date he needed and am really missing that ability. For medical forms, you know ;)

A way to search your own entries and/or comments.

too hot?? HAHAHAH It was 65 degrees here today! THANK YOU WILD COLD FRONT!

We'll be back to our regularly scheduled ball sweating by the end of the week, I'm sure. I'll think of something then xD

When you change your diary "theme", only you can see it. I'd like it so that everyone's theme/layout/whatever is visible to all. My diary is dark and brooding and has an R rating, and as such needs to be read in appropriate atmosphere. It's just not the same reading my writing with a pink background or whatever, yo.

There was implemented and quickly withdrawn an RC kind of feature?

You are doing a terrific job by the way.

• Current author / Current book navigation at top and bottom of page, not in the left sidebar

• Default entry title to the date.

• XML/plaintext backups by book and by author; optionally including comments

• Community books with entries that are links to entries in member diaries (for Flash Friday & other group writing)

• Your ideas about gamification: it's time!

• Entry tagging

• Ability to mark entries as "unread" manually

• Side-by-side Markdown/Preview editor

• Ability to suppress autoembedding of videos

• Ability to embed soundfiles and video from Photobucket

As is, the site is clean, wonderful, reliable, and fun to use. You're a genius. Thank you so much!

• Oh, and calendar view or chronological listing for all entries by an author.

Hi. I'm hanging out but not writing much. Enjoying the improvements.

When I was looking into doing an alternate site, I had a FB group dedicated to brainstorming ideas. Here, you can have them now. (Some have already been addressed--yippee!)

An "I read this button," similar to the like button on Facebook. Diary stats, with the ability to see who has read your diary (by diary name, with the option to read incognito as well.) Search notes, and search entire site by key word or phrase (an option to exclude your diary from search) In-line spell checker - DONE! Automatic "reply to" this note - DONE! Comment threading (optional) - DONE! Improved graphics handling - Haven't tried it, trust you. Personalized a message with Favorites request Better indexing, tagging of other diarists (when allowed), and suggested tags for entries

Thanks!

That was supposed to be a list. Sorry.

The only thing I can think of is maybe Reader's Choice?

A search feature so you can find an old entry about such-and-such easily.

The ability to mark an entry as unread so it doesn't disappear from the default bookmarks list.

Thanks for all you do!

People need to stop trying to make this like OD. I HATED OD. Most did. If you want a diary site like OD, head over to EWS'. As far as I know, his website is up. This is Prosebox. Not OD. When will you people get that?

Anyways, it'd be nice to be able to have a page of new users with a random button of some sort to find different diaries. Not just ones that have posted up recently.

This is a test to see if I can edit my comment.

Nope, so requesting the option to edit comments that we leave.

Thanks

The only thing I consistently miss is the ability to search in my own books. I used to use my OD as a family journal/calendar of sorts and looked up important dates to remember when we adopted our oldest cat, for instance. I wish I had a search ability in my own profile. Does that make sense?

What about having the age of the diarist show up - and optional?

Search feature and customized backgrounds, please. :)

Spell check and a way to make our backgrounds change on every entry - I would also like to decorate my wall more :) Like a page

I'm sure it's been discussed before, but I'd like to be able to reply to comments from the comments screen, instead of having to go back to the post.

I second the Reader's Choice and Random settings. It'd make me spend a lot more time on PB, which is not a bad thing...

It would be cool to be able to search for users by where they are from. I like the autonomous though so maybe not towns or county/states but like Europe, USA, Canada, China, etc etc

French toast and sausage please. Sausage patties,not the little ones that look like mutant ninja turtle dicks. And raspberries. And powdered sugar. Sigh.......

Besides the calendar feature I already voted for, I'd love to be able to change the privacy level of an entry from the entry itself.

When you click the bookmarks link, I think the default should be "All", not "Unread". It's difficult to remember to look back for entries that you've already read and put a comment on later if they don't show up in teh default list and jog your memory.

It is a small thing but I would love to have the underline ability...

I would also like to save my previous OD entries onto here, I understand no one may want to read them, it's just for myself mainly. Also, when browsing through previous entries - OD used to have a calendar with the entry titles. Can this or something similar be added so we don't have to go through every book/entry manually if searching for something?

Currently, you can leave comments on someone's entries, but if you don't have access to any of their entries, there's no way to communicate. I don't know what this would look like -- private messages, comments on the profile page, or a special "would like access" message path, maybe. There are some of my friends from OD that I can't read, and I assume *grin* that's because I have a different name here and they just don't know I'm the same charming person they previously gave access to.

I'm kinda a blog freak and like to see what I write the most. You know on livejournal and other related sites where you have a tag doohickey where you tagged your entries and the most tagged becomes larger?

oh, and for the record the temps here at home were 117 degrees this week

a no comments options please

I don't know if anyone's said this previously, I kind of scanned through it, but it would be nice to give people different levels or categories of friendship. I know some people who are on my friends list, have no desire to read about my attempts at weight loss. I don't want to remove them as friends, but I also don't want those entries to show up on their list as they're not going to read them anyway...

And corollary to the previous comment, some of the writers I have bookmarked post things I couldn't care less about. Thankfully, they're courteous enough to put those in a separate book.

You had previously mentioned being able to bookmark an author minus certain books -- I'd really like to see that show up.

Some kind'a HTML help :) Like changing the font and what not. Also individual entries could be set to private instead of who books. So far, I really like it here.
