It would be nice if comment editing was enabled. Dreamwidth has a feature that allows a comment to be edited as long as there's no reply. This seems to allow typo correction without allowing extravagant abuse of the comment system.
Deleting and reposting a comment to correct a simple typo becomes tedious and requires remembering to change the icon - if you forget, you have to delete it again to do something as simple as that.
If it couldn't be implemented everywhere, perhaps create a third style that allowed it and offer access to that style only to paid members or other premium accounts? S1, S2, S3, with S3 greyed out and unavailable unless the member's paid. I don't know coding, I don't know if that's possible. Just spitballing ideas for the item at the top of my wish list.

Redirect to Journal on Logout or Login
The current behaviour when a user logs out of IJ is that they click the Log Out button, then they are redirected to a logout page that provides them with options for logging in or other things to do. Additionally, when logging in with an account, the user is redirected to a log in page with next steps. It's a slight inconvenience when attempting to switch accounts on, for example, a mobile device, while viewing a journal entry. In those cases, you have to log out, go to the logout page, log in with the new account, go to the logged in page, hit the back button three times, and then refresh the page to get back to where you were. It would be more convenient in this scenario for a user to click Log Out, then to be brought back to the same page they were on with their session expired, similar to how Dreamwidth handles log out events. Then when they log in with their new account on the same page, they are brought back right away to the same page without having to deal with the browser back button or refreshing the page manually. Embedding YouTube Videos
I wish we could use the new iframe embedding for YouTube. When I crosspost, the videos won't cross-post so I have to manually edit the entry, add the embed tag, and gather the "Old embed code" for youtube. So, this might only be more applicable to roleplayers who list all their owned journals in their cdj etc but when you do 'lost username' you just get them as a list. Perhaps it's possible to have it sent with the code? It would make things a lot easier... I get really really REALLY tired of having to think of a new journal name or add silly little _ in at the beginning/middle/end of mine because I go to create one and it's been 'deleted/purged'. I understand those used to be journals, but if they were deleted and purged then chances are they haven't been used in eons or something, and really I don't think I should have to pay to rename a journal just so I can use a name someone lost or didn't want anymore. It's a tad frustrating, and more than a little unfair. I was thinking about some ideas that may improve IJ a little, here they are:
How can IJ improve?
Here's a good question for you so we know what us users are looking for: Cross-posting/Importing/Exporting
I'd love to see the idea that Dreamwidth has with the cross-posting to LJ or IJ get integrated into IJ; I think it'd keep more people active here. I'm not sure how the interest thing works but is it possible to allow interests of more than four words? |
