Suggestion Box, Almost 2015 Edition in Suggestion Box

By way of search enhancements, a way to search my own entries would be rocking'.

When you're working with code, do you have to sacrifice a virgin? Where the HELL can you go to find virgins now a days?

Please don't turn this into another Facebook. That is all I ask.

Happy Holidays.

Thanks for all your hard work!

I weep for personalization options. Mostly because with only the icon and name at the top to tell folk apart, I sometimes get confused about who the hell I am reading. Since everyone's books look the exact same. I mean I'm not asking for calligraphy fonts and animated .gif backgrounds. But maybe something.

Please can we somehow upload our OD entries? Please, oh please?

Last year at this time, we were new here...and now it feels like home! Thank you so much for this place and all your work!
My requests: search and import.

I'm still hoping for that drafts tab, along with the entries, description and comments tab each book has. That way all the drafts from multiple books aren't thrown together on one big page. :) Meanwhile, I'm not worried about losing anything because I write in Word and then upload from there.

Love it!

Nothing that hasn't already been requested, stated, and otherwise mentioned a thousand times already.

I think everyone else has it covered. Thank you for all your work!

Happy Holidays! Thanks for PB ..... agree with Blood Dragon.....carry on.

That sounds very useful.

Ummm...I am still patiently {well, mostly patiently} waiting to send you money for no ads? How is that coming along?

Everything everyone else said. But also, I'd like a search box for key words. I was trying to find a diary that participated in DeMoPho for example, but no one uses that particular phrase as a diary name, hence nothing came up. Re the personalisations, maybe you can add something like the Facebook cover photo if nothing else? At least we can personalise a small part of our diary. Thanks :)

The ability to search your own diary! That's the one function that I find myself wishing for on a regular basis.

I like having the editor so you can have a background to each entry, change the fonts, SPELL CHECK, which I need and be able to change fonts...being creative with each writing is so important. I would like to see a LIKE button, that would be nice and to be able to tag someone in your entry.

You see the 'wish list' is getting shorter each time you ask for suggestions! That's a great sign! :)

And maybe, you can also give us the option to add tags to our entries so that other diarists can find them when searching for it.

I suppose on top of that drafts tab I would like, I could get REALLY greedy and ask for a book search feature and a way to customize backgrounds. :)

ability to copy and paste photos from facebook instead of having to use a photo host site would be great... i had a private album I used just for diary pics. Pretty please....

Import our old OD and Entry Calendar pretty please!!

Interest lists would be fun to see here, like they were on OD.

I would like a way to navigate from one entry to another while you're reading the entry. I mean, if you're reading an entry, it'd be nice if at the top of that entry itself, there's a "previous" and a "next" entry so you can navigate that way, in your own or another person's blog.

What am I missing here? Why is it so difficult to find my own entries? I would love it if I could click a button that took me to a list of all my entries.

I'd love for bookmarks to be listed from oldest unread first, or for them all to be listed on one page. I like to pick and choose which I'll read first, and I hate having to click through pages every time I want to read my oldest unread.

Interests and search by interest and tags.

Other than that, I am chill.

I can barely even recall a time before PB. Thank you for making this place feel like home!

I WANT TO REPORT THIS PERSON: Blood Dragon he is leaving really awful things on my box. How do I block him?

Some of these ads I have to see are really gross.
It makes me not want to visit this site.

So... all of my entries are gone. Why is that?

• hmm! I like the idea of having an auto-save! Sometimes I forget I'm typing an entry, and accidentally click out, then it's lost [ Weeps ] . .but that's more to do with my own carelessness than PB =P
  
  Here's what I would suggest:
  
  > the option to edit comments for a few moments after posting it, so if there's a typo, I can quickly edit it instead of deleting & reposting said comment.
  
  > Reader's Choice, perhaps? This would be a great feature-- and to be able to come across new diaries to read =^u^=
  
  > Along the lines of a Reader's Choice, a "random" button would be great. I've seen several people mention that already!
  
  > What 'Sugar Free' suggested-- an interests option would be great & you can find other users in common [ Thumbs up ]
  
  > What 'Movie Life' suggested about changing fonts! Oh Norns! That would be perfect! I get bored of always using the same font, yo.
  
  > Okay, pretty much what the other comments suggest!
  
  Just want to say now: Happy Christmas & New Year! Here's to 2015. Another year! ♥ I'm fucking glad I joined PB. This place is great & the care you put into making this site fantastic for everyone is truly appreciated. [ Raises my glass of Guinness ] To SM !

• ahh! I had another suggestion at the back of my mind that I forgot to mention in my essay of a comment [ Chuckles ] but being able to message others would be a really nice feature =^u^= To save unwanted messages, you could have it so only mutual friends|follows can only message each other ?

It would be good for security if I could manage login sessions or at least log out other sessions automatically when email and/or password is changed. Also, I don't think a like or vote up/down, kudos or thanks feature would be so bad. Sometimes I want to acknowledge that I enjoyed an entry or comment without having to add noise to comments with a boring "thanks" or "me too!" comment. Why did people hate like button so much? But most important thing is RANDOM button. I sent you an email offering my help if I can do so in any way possible. Just don't let PB die like OD, ok? I don't want to move to tumblr, LJ or wordpress, I like how small it is and the community here. Hope you are having a good year. Also the RANDOM button is the most important feature that I really want. Why are you not interested in that feature? grr.

• ah! I have another suggestion! An option to put in your location in "edit my profile" and be able to search people based on their location. Like, I'm curious to see who else is located in England! \m/

Is there a way to disable getting blank notes (other than telling readers you don't want them)? I remember how much I couldn't stand them on OD.

KIS(sweetie)

Interest tagging or grouping of some sort. If we have that then we can live without readers choice or vote ups or random entry and such like. Cause I think all anyone really wants is an easy way to find like minded people.

Donate button. I don't care for subscriptions but if the site was in dire straits and needed funds to keep going I might be inclined to help out.

Thank you for all you do here :)

Is there a way for Autosave to work on Google Chrome browsers? I just lost a huge entry that I admittedly should have saved a draft of. :(

Hmm... pretty much what every one else said, though I would like a "font size" option in general for this site. Everything appears in BIG letters and I'm not to keen on nosy nellies reading stuff behind my back while I'm at... Starbucks or something. A "next entry" button would be awesome with a capital A. For instance, I've been away for a bit and I have been trying to catch up on people and I keep having to press the back button to get to the next entry. :)

Hi, I'm another transplant from OD, but just finally got started. One of the main things I have missed about journaling online is the community aspect. I have a specific process I'm working through in my journal here, and I'd love to commiserate or otherwise commune with others going through something similar, but I see there's no way to find other users aside from searching usernames or browsing aimlessly.

I'm so glad prosebox is available to me, and I appreciate what it is already, but I do wish there were circles/keyword search/tagging too. I also would like to see an entry calendar feature.

Thanks!

Look, I've asked you this before... please, please get rid of the videos. They are like OMG annoying when I'm trying to read posts. I can totally see ads, links and whatnot, but the vids are a real killer to deal with when I'm trying to concentrate on reading something and they start playing. So please take a gun to them! :)

is there ever going to be a phone app?

is there a possibility of subscribing / unsubscribing to specific books? some of my bookmarked favorites have books that I, frankly, don't care about.

thanks for all the hard work!

I dont know if there's another post i can reference to figure this out or not, but why can i not see my entries on the front page right after i post them? it looks like my security settings should be allowing it, but for whatever reason its not working?

Yes some personalisation would be nice on perhaps background colours, or maybe a border, or a 'cover photo' - a banner. No personalisation on font though ~ I agree with you that that should be a total No-no. It can get crazy otherwise.

Also, the ability to have a 'front page'? Eg, I go to my prosebox and get to login from my own personalised 'front page'.... Maybe with the picture of the dude writing that you have on the login page as a banner, instead of taking up the whole screen. I guess this idea is part of the whole personalisation topic too.

The reason for the ^ personalised front page is because it would help to keep the mental flow you're in , when you log on and are ready to spill your thoughts. I find that the cool, crisp picture of someone else's hands doing the writing de-personalises the moment for me. Maybe it's just me :) IhateitwhenpeoplesharestupidstuffandIjustdidthat

Sometimes I miss being able to search my entire diary. 'Twas a feature on OD that I apparently used fairly often.

1.) Could we get "advance forward or backwards" links added to posts? its annoying to have to click back, find the book your reading and then look again for the following post.

2) Can you fixt it so that we can enter dates for posts and they will automatically go in order of the date entered? if I post something I wrote 6 months ago I don't want it to show up as my most recent post. it makes it difficult for stories to flow correctly.

thank you for all you do :)

Can you add an underline button under the bold and italics? It's such a small request, but I really like underlining and it's a pain to type in the html code all the time.

Hi would there be any way you could add hobbies/likes so we could search ppl with similar interests?

So you know what would be great?

(Yes, yes, it's me again, with that thing.)

If on my Friends page, to the right of each name, was simply the date of the last update to their PB. It doesn't even have to be a link. Just so I know who has updated when. That's all I'm asking :)

(7703 Bookmarks and never clicking it, nope.)

You apparently can't italicize words in the title. *text* just stays as-is, while <i>text</i> gets swallowed.

Android app. Please. The mobile version of the site is a giant pain in my ass.

Now that Adblock works on iOS, can I please give you money? I've heard nothing but good things about Cash.me if you aren't ready for paid accounts.

The ability to browse users by personal interests, so we can find other like-minded people to bookmark/friend. Also, add an 'Interests' section in users' profiles to enable this capability, obviously.

Just curious, what's your policy on weird spam-like diaries? This is the first one I've seen, which made me wonder.

Hi! I didn't want to wade through 191 comments and replies, so I don't know if anyone has mentioned this. On OD, each entry was indexed at the top: previous entry, next entry. I really liked that. It's hard to navigate around here without it. Also, if we could have the list of entries down the side, like OD had. It's an ease-0f-use thing for me, not nostalgia for the OD site. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!! :)

As mentioned earlier, enhanced search features would be great. Such as being able to skip pages while searching, or being able to go to the "Beginning" of a diary without having to page through all the existing pages. OD had a calendar that listed each entry. One could navigate through days, weeks and months, even years, looking for entries marked on something that looked like a wall calendar. That was great.

Hi, I know you're probably not looking at Suggestions by now - but I had an idea that popped into my head. First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH for the capability to choose the privacy of individual entries. That is SO awesome. What I want to suggest is the following:
Say I have a Book that is automatically set to Members Only. But along the way I want to share something that is Friends Only, and now I can totally do that, which is awesome. So I go right ahead and do it. But time passes and I now want that entry to be a different privacy yet again > so it would be cool to be able to see that entry from the list of titles under the said Book. Eg: I could look at the list of titles under said Book; I can see at the top of the Book that it is set to Members Only; and hay presto, I can also see beside the few "odd" entries that are set as Friends Only marked as Friends Only - similar to what we see in our Bookmarks List for Unread's.
Okay, thank you for reading. And Happy New Year!!

In the same spirit of the "Friend Of" list, it would be neat to see a list of people who have Bookmarked me. I am always curious to know how many readers I have. I know a lot of people read regularly but don't always leave notes on entries. So it would be good to know who all is reading my entries.

Other than that, I really can't think of anything else this site needs. You've done a great job here sir.

i would like a search box for our. blogs. instead of going through all the books/entries looking for something. not sure how one would....put a search box in the blogs but.yes. thank you.

Yes, what MissLovely said. OD used to have an entry calendar where uses could search theirs and other peoples entries on a calendar type search thingie. That would be like the best update ever!
(Turning on bat light to call Prose Minister)

Sorry you're saying goodbye to Prosebook--it was a good run and came at a good time. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
