Summary:
Add link to advanced layer area from layer editor.

Description:
http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/advanced/layeredit?####### links to the S2 documentation, but not to the rest of the site. After one has applied the changes to their layer, you have to go back in history to get back to any other Dreamwidth pages.

I propose adding a link to the site-schemed page from which one has most recently come, http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/advanced/layers You can use regular site navigation from that page to get where you need to go, but it's better than using the history function (and posssibly accidently saving an old version of the layer. D:)

Ability to opt-out of account creation community promo

Title:
Ability to opt-out of account creation community promo

Area:
communities, account creation

Summary:
I would like the ability to opt any community I maintain out of the community promo that displays when one has created a new account.

Description:
I've created several accounts (for various reasons) and thus have had occasion to notice that some communities I moderate are displaying on the community promo area when a new account has been created. The area says something like "check out these cool places on Dreamwidth!" and then lists a seemingly random assortment of communities one can join.

My suggestion is to allow community admins to opt their community out of being listed here. I am an admin of several communities that are private or otherwise inappropriate to put on such a list. Right now, they show up on that list and I am concerned that being unable to join certain communities may create an unwelcoming feel to Dreamwidth. By allowing community admins to opt out, it would help to prevent uncomfortable situations like the one I describe above.

If this is implemented, I would think setting it up as a console command would help to prevent clutter on other options pages. I think it'd work best as an opt out policy, as this would not change the existing behavior unless intended to do so.

Change subject line of emails to make threading even better

Title:
Change subject line of emails to make threading even better

Area:
notifications

Summary:
Thread top-level comments and lower-level replies together, e.g. when tracking an entry. So instead of getting two different threads in Gmail for each entry, you just have one, with the top-level and reply comments in order, instead of spread across two conversations.

Description:
I just noticed something with the new threading - because "Reply to an entry" and "Reply to a comment" have different subject lines, they get treated as differerent conversations, even if the comment is on that entry. So if you're tracking, say, a news post, the top-level comments will be in a different conversation from the replies to those comments, which isn't ideal.

I'd personally prefer it to just have the subject of the entry...

Reply to "Some entry" [dw-biz #1053]...

No matter why -- i.e., get rid of "Edited reply to your comment", "Reply to your comment", "Reply to your post", etc. in the subject line - leave the content of the email as it is, so you know who said what, but just collapse the subjects so you get the whole conversation in one email thread.

Different icon for official communities

[cesy]

Title:
Different icon for official communities

Area:
communities

Summary:
Change the userhead icon for official communities to one that looks official, like the ones for staff journals do.

Description:
Staff journals have a grey userhead with the DW swirl wrapped around it instead of the normal grey userhead. It would be good if official communities had the DW swirl over their blue-green circle, so they immediately look different from ordinary communities, as well as having dw_ at the start of their names.
