Explicitly showing truncation on latest page

Title:
Explicitly showing truncation on latest page

Area:
latest entries

Summary:
When entry is truncated for length on latest page, make it clear that there's more to the entry.

Description:
Entries on http://www.dreamwidth.org/latest are truncated if they are longer that a certain length, but there's no clear indication that this is happening. Once you've read it a bit, you catch on that perhaps people post longer things, or that the mid-sentence or mid-word drop-off was perhaps not how things actually were, but it isn't immediately obvious.

Easiest way I can think of is to stick a ( Read more ... ), or whatever the default text is for the <cut> tag, linking to the entry, directly after the cutoff point, to make it obvious that there's more, it just didn't fit on the page.

Copy of posts in email should respect cut-tag

[briarwood]

Title:
Copy of posts in email should respect cut-tag

Area:
Comments

Summary:
When someone replies to a post, the emailed copy of the post should respect the cut-tag.

Description:
Every time someone comments on a post, the email I get includes a full copy of the post replied to, as well as their response. This is really useful.

However, with Dreamwidth allowing such huge posts, occasionally this makes for one giant email. For example, a 50,000 word story that needed at least five separate posts on LJ, fits into a single post here (which I love!). When someone comments on the story, I get the whole 50,000 words in an email, plus that comment, which might be just a few words. Gmail automatically truncates such big emails, which means I have to click through several times before I can even read the comment. The links to read and reply online are at the bottom, so I can't get to them easily either. Worse, when I'm checking my mail on my mobile phone I have to download a huge email and scroll through the whole thing to get to the part I want to read. This is really, really slow, and while I love having a copy of most posts so I can make sense of comments easily, in cases like this it's much more trouble than it's worth.

Would it be possible for the emailed copy of the post to either cut off at a certain length or, better still, to respect a cut-tag, so the copy looks like the version people will see on friends pages? That would be more than enough for me to know what is being responded to, and I'd actually be able to read the emailed comment.

List subscribers on feed profile pages

Title:
List subscribers on feed profile pages

Area:
Profile

Summary:
Currently, only the number of subscribers to a feed is listed on the feed's profile page. I would like to have a list of accounts added to that.

Description:
Maybe there is a good reason why subscribers are listed on personal, identity, and community profiles, but not on feeds, but I have no idea what that reason could be.

Basically, for some feeds I think it would just be nice to see who else is subscribed to them. These people might share the same interests etc. So I propose adding that part of the profile.

post-security in email posting doesn't use DW language but should

Title:
post-security in email posting doesn't use DW language but should

Area:
Email posting

Summary:
When posting by email, most post-security tags fit with Dreamwidth's terminology, except for the access list option. This should be changed.

Description:
When posting access locked entries by email, I would expect to use "post-security: access", but according to the further instructions page found off the mobile tab of my account settings, the command is actually "post-security: friends", which is old LJ language. I think that it should be updated to reflect DW speak.

Obviously, to keep backwards compatibility/email crossposting, "lj-security: friends" should remain.

ETA: yvi has pointed out in comments that what I'm asking for exists, but is improperly documented, so just ignore my post :-)
