Suggestion Box, February Edition in Suggestion Box

I SUGGEST A SUGGESTION BOX oh shit never mind

i suggest pancakes

on tuesdays

PANCAKE TUESDAYS, EVERYONE?!

(Honestly, thanks so much for keeping our shit together post-OD. I know it's a huge job, and we all love you for taking it on.)

(But only if you implement pancake tuesdays, like, right the fuck now)

Ice cream.

I've been wondering about having interest here like there were on OD? I always liked that feature.

Spaghetti Tuesdays, on Wednesdays.

Is there a way to cancel writing an entry? All I see is a Save button (with the check box option to save it as a draft). What if you scribble out an entire entry and then think "ehhh, nevermind"? :)

I'm good. Thanks for everything.

:) nothing.

Ohhhh..a buffet. Ice cream,pancakes and fried smelt...yep. That's a party right there. I'll bring the smelt.

I suggest you take a deep breath and have a cup of mint hot cocoa, on me.

Chuckling, I made suggestions, but I have no expectations they will be used.

I think we need a new suggestion box...and a way for people to vote ideas up and down...like reddit...only without the puerile sub-reddits. We got diaries for that shit.

Keep. It. Simple!

Garth didn't find Bugs Bunny attractive when he dressed up as a girl bunny. He was just asking if Wayne did!

I suggest you come on fhqwhgads. No seriously I have no suggestions at this time. So I guess this comment is um, a waste of your time. For that I apologize. Yes.

I don't like that after I click on Bookmarks that it no longer tells me how many I have that are unread. It will just go from 10 to nothing as soon as I click on one. I have a feeling that this does not bother most people - I'm just a little weird sometimes. ;)

Thank you so much for this site. Really.

Mind you?? Mind you?? Mind me!!

And omg Pancake Tuesday! So long as we can have it Friday night okay?

Thanks!

i'm just happy to have a place to write. take care,

thank you so much for all your work! we appreciate PB! this place has actually gotten me back to writing which a miracle in itself. so whatever you are doing, keep doing :)

Ohhhhh..gin....I think I love it here.......

group hug, group hug!

A page break in the entries would be nice. It's a tad annoying to have to make my own squiggle line page break to separate my subjects. lol

Sorry you're so busy Mr. Ableson!

Wow. Even I'm uncomfortable with how low a blow that was. Sorry, dude.

I think you've done a great job, and you saved a lot of people with a great site :) So kudos to you. That said, something which I think would be a great addition to this site, is to be able to respond to comments via the comments inbox, instead of thru the entry. It's a small thing, but ya.

Anyway, keep up the great work. I'm so grateful to have somewhere to write. :)

A rehash of what I provided in the last few days - Ability to edit/delete a comment both as a sender and as a receiver. - Ability to import the OD XML file. This will establish the community here. - Picture zoom, in place. I shared some script in that context. - Navigation of entries for a diary need to be below the entry; not at the side navigation bar.

I am thankful for your service. Keep up the great work.

Just wanted to give you my own thanks. <3 You are doing an amazing job here.

Would love to be able to block certain users from reading. I know you're working on that... Thank you for giving us all someplace to land!!

All I got is thank you! I'm loving PB a lot. Love how clean and simple everything looks and feels. OD was awful for many reason. I stayed because that's where I started. I hated going on there anymore. It made my head spin just looking at the site anymore.

No suggestions here. You are doing an amazing thing by giving us ODers a place to go. It's a large job to accept and we are all grateful. THANK YOU!

Starbucks friday for sure. ;P Try to relax some this weekend, hmm?

Please make an android app for prosebox!

just Thank You for all you've done and continue to do..... we refugees appreciate you very much!

Ack! I'm sure you've had this suggestion before, but can we have an "edit" button for comments? I have a 1980's keyboard( because it's vintage and cool with the added bonus of the "clicky clacky" sound.) My "s" key likes to sneak up into my words sometimes, thus making odd words. And my one-shanded self types fast and often doesn't spell check right away. I'm also a grammar goober too and I get angry when I can't fix something. --makes face at you-- With love and affection

Have a restful weekend pulllleassssseee!:)

SM,

Stay offline this weekend and relax. :)

and that is my only suggestion. Besides, everything else in PB is sufficient for now.

My only suggestion still is more color schemes. The rest of the site is amazing.

Im sure this has been suggested by others but can you steal some of the layout features from OpenDiary? A template on peoples journals that says their Age, gender and where they are from ? Also being able to click from entry to entry instead of having to go back to the profile page everytime would be nice.

Meh... Suggestions can wait, right now I'd just like some bacon. Have a great weekend. See ya on the other side.

Thank you for changing the font. You're doing a great job, really you are. x

Most of the suggestions are going to be along the lines of "make it just like OD!" I see no problem with following your own vision for the site; much to my surprise, I'm actually liking a lot of things better.

But...(you saw that coming, right?) I do kind of wish I could login with my username instead of my email address. I frequently access the site from my phone, and typing in my email address takes forever! Minor annoyance, though. (I know, obvious answer: get a shorter email address...)

Former od user. I'm sure you've heard it before but thanks for this. Prosebox is a great thing. That being said, don't let us OD people push you around and change it to OD. This place is unique and should stay that way. I had a suggestion but all that would do is make it more like OD. (although ice cream tuesday would be great.

Aren't you glad you aren't asking for suggestions? Heh.

Eventually, when your large influx calms down, perhaps ways to decorate our PB's?? Colors, add graphics, etc. Just sayin,' :*)) This is so good to be able to come to and write something, when you feel led to do so. T.Y. Simple Mind, for making this site for us. It's getting near time, to make peace from mourning for the loss of OD and get on with a new community and interact with our old friends, plus meet new ones!!!! bighugz.

I suggest a button on each entry. It would be like a like button, but instead of liking someone, you'd be giving them promissory notes that can be redeemed for Twizzlers and/or sexual favors later.

Maybe a Help entry where we could leave notes? I would like to delete a Bookmark and don't know how and don't know where to go to ask.

I love you, m'lord. I trust your instincts and vision. I agree with pancake Tuesdays on friday night, naked Thursdays, and you taking some time off to be with your family. Hey, Valentine's Day is coming up, maybe a trip to somewhere warm for a few days is in order.

I would love some sort of visible way to "like"/"upvote" someone's comment. Sometimes I just want someone to know I thought they were amazing, without having to tell them. Because I am shallow.

Oh, and I second a random button. Also, having the reader's choice was a nice way of discovering new bookmarks. Maybe instead of reader's choice, to make it different, just spotlight a random diarist out of the blue.

I'd like to be able to change the position of the "More entries..." box. I think it would be useful if it were top-left or top-right when viewing an entry, because I'd more frequently want to navigate to other entries when I'm reading someone else's, than I would want to use the "My Prosebox" functions.

Perhaps "My Prosebox" could collapse to the left in some situations, and "More Entries..." could move upward?

Aloha...

Inasmuch as you're really not asking for suggestions...

I won't leave one...! (smiles)

Pleeeeeaaaassse could the textarea input on the "write an entry" page be bigger or, at least, resizeable?

Maybe in addition to a Suggestion Box, you should have an Appreciation Box, which we'd fill with thank-yous and such. And Prosebux, which you could redeem for your own PB Toilet.

is there a way to change our password?

Could we get LARGER icon image sizes please? its the primary way you identify with the journal author

Do you think you could do something with the "More entries" box? Being half-blind, I tend to read with the font pretty big. When I do that, the box pops up underneath comments and content.

• i suggest loki.

• realistically, i suggest a location.

I suggest you take a nap. You've been working hard on all this, and everyone loves a nap. Unless they're weird...

I suggest that you give yourself a million gold stars and then have an icy beer (or latte or whatever) and some deep breaths. And bask in having created something amazing.

I suggest being able to have colour text, font changes and sizes for entries. And a bigger text box. But I agree with some people above, take your time, don't stress relaxx :) and take care of urself first.

Oh and being able to edit your profile with backgrounds, pictures, about me section would be cool too

A way to edit/delete notes would be great.

Or maybe I'm just too dumb to figure out how?

Thank you so much for being our landing pad when the OD world died. I don't want you to be like OpenDiary. I enjoyed some of the features, but truly I'd like Prosebox to be it's own legend. <3 Thanks for having us.

Well, okay, just one feature. When you're replying to notes, I would love to reply from the comments box instead of in the actual entry. That would be helpful.

I think a random button is less important than, say, diary circles where likeminded people with similar interests and goals can connect with one another. This is coming from a 13-year OD vet (survivor).

I suggest a prosebox IRC channel. No coding required!

Don't know if this has been suggested before but what about export features. In a way, it's a feature that should never really be used but if we know that we can export our diaries then we'll have greater confidence in the safety of your diaries on your site.

Sorry if someone already suggested this (writing this very quickly when I have a spare moment and don't have time to read all of the notes) but I'd LOVE to see private entries available.

Also, thank you for creating this site. I am truly grateful.

Diary circles like we had on OD.

I DO have one thing that I think needs fixing. My latest entry has all the details.

Fluffernutter Tuesdays! : )

I would ask for a purple theme but I know you don't make themes so all is good I just hope for a purple theme one day :). I suggest a day of R&R for you :) :)

I haven't looked at all the suggestions, so please excuse if this is a repeat. I'd love a block button. Someone was posting with tons of f-bombs. Seeing that FIRST thing in the morning is just not my fun way to start the day. Would love to be able to block that person.

Is it possible to see who has you bookmarked? Or is that just naturally assumed that you are the bookmark of whoever friended you as well?

How about making some sort of community book/forum thing for OD refugees to reconnect with friends lost in the Great Collapse of '14?

Hey there i was wondering weather you can have a profile page so when people come across your entry's you have a section to just tell them a little about yourself what you like and dislike? so that you can also relate to those you are talking to people (update so fast i have hardly any time to keep up ) so would find this useful in order to get to know them better x

This may have already been suggested, in fact it may already be a feature that I haven't found yet (being fairly new to the site) but i suggest a way to download entires or books. a very llikable feature in OD which a lot of new prosebox users are a former member of. Furthermore, maybe a way to down load entries that is more desirable, for instance OD only let you dl in notepad, which was not pleaseing to the eye with html coding and so on. and you were only allowed to dl 14 pages in pdf form. it was good to down load the stories of our lives but it was in an inconvenient way. there has to be a better way. thats my suggestion

I didn't intend to post, but then I started an entry at home, and saved it because I had to leave. I went to continue it on the bus, and lo and behold, I'm "locked" into the mobile site, even when I requested the desktop version. (Google on the Samsung Note 3 if it matters) I don't mind that the mobile site is streamlined, but it was rather irksome to be unable to switch.

How about being able to edit a comment? Sometimes I think of one more thing after I've posted a comment.

I think like everyone else I am very grateful for PB. It works. Oh, and despite the fact Infinite Ocean doesn't like walnuts, I DO. You'll just have to pick them out, y'know I bet you were a picky eater as a kid. And I'm thinking Meat Loaf Fridays using Chuck's recipe. That way we can all stroke out together.

Hi. I just have the one, and I believe I'm not alone in wanting this, so here goes: It took me a while (and some help) to figure out that if I wanted an entry to be private, or read by members only, or friends only, that I had to create a whole book for that entry to live in. This is awkward. Would it be possible to be able to select on an entry-by-entry basis what you allow people to see? I'm not even sure I understand the point of 'books' but some people like them, and if you want to keep an entire book private, that's great, but I only want one, and I don't necessarily want everyone to be able to read everything I write. If I only have one book, I don't get the option, it's either all or nothing. Maybe I'm being inflexible, or just not understanding how this all works, but the ability to select entry-by-entry would be wonderful.

I suggest an email to get in contact with the diary master when people come across entries like this. https://www.prosebox.net/entry/78121/?nav=recent Hope this person is not serious! Don't know who to contact

thank you so much for providing us OD refugees shelter in the fallout.

can they be chocolate chip pancakes?

Today I left a comment. Then I pressed space bar to scroll down. Instead of scrolling down I activated the comment button with the space bar and multiple posted my comment a bunch of times. Can you prevent that from happening somehow?

Suggestion... or help... is there a place to change your password? If not I think there should be a place. I like to change mine every now and then.

A probably bugg. I joined prosbox on the computer I am currently writing on. I *think I only had to choose username and password.

Then I typed in my e-mail.

I cant access the site on my laptop. Tried with just my user name, then it asks for e-mail. I type in the e-mail adress I used for this site, and it tells is not in the data base.

I vote for pancake Tuesday.

This is small in the big scheme of things...but hey, I'll try anyway. Could you put the current author "previous" and "next" buttons at the top of their entry on the left and right sides? I find it more difficult to scroll down trying to find the next page. Maybe it's because I was at OD for 13 years. That's my only real dislike here.

Please keep PB like PB and not like OD :)

What about a place to change our password?

Nm seen the comment above

I suggest that you receive a huge round of applause for everything that you have done and all that you continue to do!

First off, let me say thank you for your hard work and dedication, and I am growing to love this place in a way that I never expected I would.

Some Feedback: Speaking only for myself, "Bookmarks" in its current incarnation is largely useless to me in , yes its great that it updates automatically, I love that a lot, but having to scroll back through all the recent posts of those you follow to find the individual you might be interested in reading at that specific moment in time is a PITA. I largely avoid it and just pick people from my friends list based on who Im in the mood for.

So Im just wondering if it would it be possible for it to show updated/unread posts besides the names in the friends list? I often do reading on my phone or while on the train, and being able to tell who has 1 or 2 posts that I've yet to read and who has 20 be sooooo helpful.

2) a radio or check box for deleting your own comments would be great. I accidentally left the a comment in the wrong persons diary the other day as I had more than one tab open at the time and got them mixed up, just being able to remove it would be super handy when mistakes like this occur.

Thanks again for all you do

also, I hate these adds, and I'd like to give you money to remove them for me. :)

Ooo I have a real suggestion this time.Do you foresee us being able to only follow certain books of a member? Like they have books a,v,d but I only want updates from book v?

Just like how we can embed photos, can we possibly have the ability to embed videos too (not, YT videos, but a video from an actual hyperlink...ex: .mp4 files)? Please and thank you. I looked it up and there was a tutorial that called for using the '%' instead of the '!' but I didn't work out very well :P

I would like to ask how do I privatize a note or delete a note left? I am sure one day I will for get to privatize a note I am leaving also--an edit would be nice! I am hoping for an answer to the above question ASAP!

i would like to be able to block users from reading my entries. i have received some harassing comments recently and i feel like this idiot will keep doing it even if i keep deleting them. beyond that, i'd like to be able to report a user for abuse. he was not only insulting me but also my friend who had commented on the same entry. the user's handle is Vilos Cohaagen, if you can do anything to prevent him access to my entries.

Is there any chance to have groups according to interests - such as pets, readers, recipes/food... etc.?

please make it easier to respond to comments...there are too many steps involved. a bonus would be making it a little more efficient to read bookmarks. right now i have 84 updates. i want to follow so many, but when it gets to those kind of numbers i gotta restrict myself, which is a a shame.

thankyou ^_^ but one tiny thing,

EMAIL CHANGE

I don't personally need it bc you were kind and did it for me<3_<3 but it would help others

Is there a way to delete one's account?

the only thing I need is an ability to back up easily. what I want is an easier way to respond to comments.

Is there a "reader choice"? Or something that has entries that people want to highlight for others to look at? If there isn't that would be cool

The ability to block the various morons wandering around, just loose, would be appreciated. Also, the ability to link pictures in comments like you can in entries. There are more but my robot brain needs beer.

• please could there be an option to disable private comments. they creep me out. i do not want to see them in my prose. =S

dear simple mind, i can never get past 4 comments in a row on anyone's books. once i say something, that person replies, i say something else, and they reply again, the reply button is missing from the 4th comment. is this some kind of conservation technique in the prosebox code? if not, it would be nice to have long comment trains.

I don't know how you figure out which ads go on the site... contracts, agreements, passing it on to another company, whatever. I'm just tired of seeing scantily clad babes on my pages - I am not a man, not trolling for women. I find it rather insulting.
I understand ads pertaining to my interests - it makes commercial sense - but this.. a waste of time - yours AND mine.

Sorry, don't care for you last change. I was very comfortable with the way the entry page was before. Why change it to have the icons down the side and not have an open box for editing. I don't care for the looks or the feel of it. Thanks for listening.

Just a random suggestion. It'd be nice to be able to click a "I read this entry" button on entries so that the writer knows I read it. A lot of times I just want people to know I read it and don't necessarily need to write a comment. I also sometimes write entries and would love to know if people have read it.

It's simple and easy to click a read it button. It's often hard to come up with a comment. In the past, people have used an empty comment as a "read it" approach.

I'm imaging something akin to hearted (instagram) or liked (fb) but support for anonymous/private would be !!!!!

An "edit comment" option would be nice.... or even the ability to delete a note..

Here's one that doesn't have to do with the daily special at (a favorite restaurant):

When I build a link in an entry, how may I disable the "new tab" or "new window" function/coding? For example, if I want to create a link to another entry in my Prosebox, I don't want that link to open a new tab or window. However, if I build a link to an external site, I do want to open that page in a new tab/window. In html: < a href="URL goes here" target="new" > Link Name goes here < /a > (opens new tab/window) [snug up the spaces surrounding the "<" and ">" characters] < a href="URL goes here" > Link Name goes here < /a > (goes direct; doesn't open new tab/window) [snug 'em up again]

How do I disable the 'target="new"' function?

Thanks, WP
