Suggestion Box, October Edition in Suggestion Box

I have a tiny non-important suggestion. There's this weird line next to where our user quotes are and I find it annoying as it serves no purpose I can see. Also the first line of the quote is slightly indented and looks a bit off kilter. I told you these are unimportant! lol

Ability to privatize an entry! :D

How about an option to privatize a note we've left someone if, like a dumbass, we accidentally made it public?

I'd like to be able to put a photo on the front page of my BOX (like you can for every book). But that's really a small quibble.

I'm happy with what you've done and what you propose.

I always procrastinate on the stuff that's- I always procrastinate on the stuff. By the way; how's my site doin'?

Also, I'd like to see more database errors.

edit a comment please I be the queen of typos.

I'd love a little bio section so I can be like "oh this idiot lives in _ and likes _?! This is MY kind of idiot!!" Or "uhm yeah NO thanks"

I wish we could personalize PB more like with background colors and effects such as that. Also to be able to delete a comment or be able to privatize it if someone doesn't privatize it when they leave it. Also that bookmarks would bold when they have updated and unbold when you have read them.

suggestion on the "I was here and read this entry" button. Sometimes on Facebook I want to show that I read a status when I'm at a loss for words because the person has shared some bad news, or just expressed a very emotional sentiment. I don't always want to say I LIKE it, know what I mean? OD lets you sign a blank note and just leaves your name, which is often just what I want to do and I (used to) do that a lot.

Oh, thank you so much for working on the bookmarks' view! Yay! Thank you!!!

I appreciate the thought and care you are taking as you build the site. Well done, m'lord.

Ok I just thought of something else and it's not even a gripe, just a question of would it be possible to do (I know it runs completely different on mobile so I wouldn't want any suggestions to mess that up)

My monitor is wide screen, the space around it doesn't bother me at all, but the bar being on the left and the entry being kinda centered on the right makes it kind of difficult to read the entries (on my computer, nothing wrong on my phone)

I don't know if this is just because I'm accustom to reading left to right that it throws me off or what, but is there any way there might be an option eventually added in to let users choose which side of the screen the options sit on? Like left/right?

I have no idea why them being there makes it difficult to read, and like I said I'm not like sharpening the points on my pitchforks over it or adding oily rags to the torches. Just a curiosity question, really. I can adjust if it'd be too terrible to implement and especially if any changes to that would mess up the mobile version.

What's the view on user blocking?

I got a rather judgemental and opinionated comment a while ago and would have liked the option to outright stop that person from being able to comment. I haven't really written here since because there aren't enough familiar faces here to warrant going friends only. And I don't necessarily want to go friends only for the sake of excluding one person.

Looking forward to improved bookmarks page. It bugs me I can't see who I've bookmarked unless they've written recently.

common interests/circles!

also, maybe an "older" button to see more older recent entries... there really aren't that many to go through on the main page. xx,

I'd love to be able to reply to a note directly from the comments inbox without having to go to the entry.

You're doing a great job, m'lord. Thanks for everything. Keep up the great work.

I too would like to be able to block people from reading and/or noting without having to go "friends only" if that could be possible?

Thanks for all your hard work and for being receptive to suggestion. A lot of us are very loyal to "the other place" and change is hard, but at the end of the day, I think many, like me, are grateful that this site is here, and understand that this is its OWN place with its own identity and style... it's good to learn to adapt and embrace something new!

That black box behind the name looks super-awkward to me. Being able to replace that with a background picture would be a good personalization point. You'd just have to tint it a little to make the text still readable. However, being able to pick a picture that sits well with both themes might be a challenge....

I've suggested this before, but not sure what you think - To have the ability to read a person's entries in chronological order, despite the books they've placed their writings in. Reason being that there are some people whose writings I devour and like to keep uptodate with every single one of their entries. Also, my sister and I keep in touch via our diaries as though we were writing letters to each other, and we do this with each other.

What about showing a snippet of the Latest Entries on the front page, rather than just the title and author? It may encourage more "front page" browsing if readers have an idea of what the entry is about. Often, titles are just one word or the date or something like that.

Is there a way to populate everyone's bookmark list with the site updates box? I have seen people freaking out about things that you are aware of or have already fixed, so it's obvious they don't read your entries. In the alternative, maybe an announcement on the front page that there are site updates?

I am not getting the hand of Markdown. I'm googling everything I can just to resize pictures and position the alignment of my text (still can't figure it out), but I'm coming to the conclusion that we're not just going to have a lot of formatting options. I understand the reasoning behind this, the neon yellow and pink combinations and blinky backgrounds, but what of us who are responsible with their font and photo choices? :( Should I just be searching for a better reference of Markdown's syntax, or is this as good as it gets?

Allow us to customize our colors!

Is there a way to accept only private notes?

Great work on the site! I am in love with how it looks on my phone, which is a biggie for me since I do a lot of reading/noting on my phone & tablet.

Pretty please can we have a basic choice of colour palette for our diary. We don't really need the whole shebang of individually customised backgrounds, but say a 'pink' and a 'green' etc. instead of the grey.

May have been suggested already (and I know this is a beta site) but if you could incorporate a way to download our entries for safe keeping that would be a plus. Thanks for listening.

My McAfee Site Advisor keeps warning me that it has blocked unsafe content. Something in the ads?

The ability to change an entry from public or members/friends only to private would be awesome :) Or maybe I just haven't figured out yet how to do it?

Thanks, great job on the site, really loving it here so far! It's a definite improvement over the broken that OD became :)

Because of the influx of new users and resulting increased usage, entries cycle through the recent entries list very quickly, often in under an hour. This limits the ability to browse for interesting entry entry titles by people you have not already bookmarked. I suspect that hits on an entry fall off sharply just as soon as it falls off the bottom of "latest entries" list. If true, this suggests that interaction and eyeball-hours can be increased fairly easily.

With regards to bookmarks-- what would be really awesome is if the page looked like the current bookmarks by user but each user then had an expanding drop down menu where you could see the latest entries from all their other books. What would be even more awesome is if you could then scroll through their previous entry titles for each book (like at the top of this page) and the cherry on the top would be if unread entries showed up in bold.

Any way we'll be able to customize backgrounds here some time soon?

I would looooooove if, when I replied to a comment on an entry, the page didn't reload after my reply saved & pull me all the way back up to the top.

First, I want to say that I love this site. I'm an OD transplant. Thank you! Second, do you have a plus feature? Yet? I'd love that.. I thought I saw ads on the site, maybe not as many on the mobile version. I'd pay to have ads removed, if that was an option in the future. Is there a way to donate to the site? So far, like I said, I love this place. It makes me want to write again. Keep up the good work!

customizationnnnn!

I was super reluctant to come here at first, simply because of it not having an option for customization.

to me, keeping a diary is primarily a way to write down my feelings, thoughts, secrets etc. having a space I feel is my very own is imperative to this.

also I really dislike the circular pictures as they cut part of your picture off D: ..maybe an option to have a square picture or a circular picture would work? I know it wouldn't look as tidy but to have the choice..

the above aside, decided to come here simply bc of the community and I am happy I did. ^^

ps; is it possible to make entries friends only?

ignore the ps bit.. I was being slothlike! I found the solution XD

oh I thought of another suggestion!! I would love to see mood icons, like you can select a mood you are feeling. I always wished for this feature on od but it never happened cries

sorry to say so much. I don't mean to sound critical; I'm actually excited lol. I didn't think I would like it here but I do. blush

Is it possible to enable time zone selection? Right now it says I have posted at 2:30 am and stuff, but that just simply ain't true. :)

Importing entries from OTHER SITES that shall not be named?

I'm really enjoying prosebox so far and how it works so smoothly. :)

I was wondering, if you are going to implement https? I think one of the drawbacks of OD was the constant "site is down due to hacker attack" and one felt rather insecure there over time, after all some of the content one posts is rather personal.

Random one, but perhaps change orange publish entry button to green publish entry button? I always want to hit save draft instead of publish cause I see orange button and think oh no no no no, orange is colour of warning, warning of bad stuff, must not press the orange button- Oh wait, I do need to press the orange button.

If we update or revise an entry title, does it show up again in the Bookmarks feed?

Thanks for all the hard work you're doing on the site! I'm happy I made the switch.

I joined in August but didn't start posting until recently. I wasn't writing much anywhere, actually. At any rate, I'm coming into the game a bit late on the suggestions, so my apologies if this has already been presented and addressed. I think it would be beneficial to have some sort of category option, which, I suppose is akin to tags. I hate to compare anything to OD, but I'm thinking in terms of "circles". Easily searchable categories for whatever content it contains.

As a Redditor, the (current) inability to upvote is killing me, ha. All in due time though.

Super awesome work, and thanks man.

Is there a way to change the password I use to log in to the site? If not, may I suggest making that an option in settings? Thanks :)

I like to change the date on my entries like I can on other sites...

I may very well be a crazy old lady who just hasn't figured this out yet... but how do I change my password to log into Prosebox? Is there a way that I've just missed? Thank you!!!
