How can IJ improve?

Here's a good question for you so we know what us users are looking for:

• What can IJ do to improve its site/service/support/features?
• How do you think it compares to Dreamwidth, LiveJournal, and other blogging sites?
• What do you like most about IJ? how about the least?


Please explain your answers.

• What can IJ do to improve its site/service/support/features?

I polled several of my friends, and first and foremost, we would all like to be able to edit comments. One of the most frustrating things about IJ as an RPer is that if someone posts a comment with an error, we have to delete and repost it, which affects the entire comment thread. It's quite frustrating to have to keep reposting.

I would like it if we were able to unfold comment threads without using a firefox ad on, which doesn't really work. And if you could browse icons when you're making a new post, if there was a mobile site (especially one in which browsing for icons was supported). I'd also like to be able to search for certain tags on other peoples' entries, or search other peoples' journals for certain tags.

It would also be great if you could allow multiple users to edit an entry - assuming those users have been added to some sort of approved list.

I also think the default font for the website shouldn't be times new roman, but something like helvetica that's a bit less... grating to look at.

• How do you think it compares to Dreamwidth, LiveJournal, and other blogging sites? It's not as nice as Dreamwidth or LJ in terms of the pretty coding and the layouts and all, but Dreamwidth has its own set of problems, and LJ is a pain in the ass run by the KGB. So in that regard, you're probably safe as an RP hub.

• What do you like most about IJ? how about the least?
Most? That it's very supportive of the RPG community in a way that other journal sites are definitely not. Least? Probably that I still have to maintain an LJ account because there's so much journal stuff that's still only on LJ. And that IJ goes down a lot more often than the other journal sites. But I love that it doesn't have adds.

I'd also like to be able to search for certain tags on other peoples' entries, or search other peoples' journals for certain tags.
Out of curiosity, what d'you mean with this one? What about just going to the tag list and doing a Ctrl+F?
