The suggestions post

Soon (for certain values of 'soon'), there will be a "suggestions generator", where you fill out forms and it will post an entry to this community for you, for discussion and the like.

Until then, if you've got something you'd like to suggest for Dreamwidth, you can leave it as a comment here! You can review our development roadmap explanation first, since it includes a lot of our upcoming big projects.


The Suggestions Generator is now live! Please fill out that form instead.

Re: Color selection when subscribing

There wasn't a support request form when I first noticed this, and the selection-box/text overlap is so minor it hadn't occurred to me to re-submit it. (Later this week, I think; Azkatraz is still going on right now.)

Erm, does opening a support request allow attachments? Will I be able to attach a screenshot, or will I need to find a place to host it? (Don't need to answer that; I'll certainly find out when I open the request.)

The problem with the colors isn't finding them; I can use LJ or IJ to figure out the html numbers for the colors I use. The problem is having them at hand every time I subscribe to someone's journal; I don't want to memorize (or have a card next to all of the three computers I use) the six or seven color-combos I most use.

Right now, my layout doesn't even use colors for subscribers; they're only relevant when I go to the "edit-your-circle" page. (Which I don't, much.) And eventually, I'll have to edit everyone's colors, bleh. (I'd consider submitting a suggestion to make that part easier & not require typing/copy-pasting ppls names into the list at the bottom, except I know the coders have important things to figure out--like reading lists--and that change is likely to be a coding nuisance that only helps a tiny number of DW users.)

And in the category of Insane Nifty Features I'd Eventually Like--would love to link colors to access/(reading) lists so that when I give a person access to a filter, it defaults to a certain color combo. But that strikes me as being non-trivial to implement.

You'll need to find a place to host the screenshot.

It's generally good to submit the suggestions anyway, so there's a record of what people want, and the team can then prioritise sensibly. I'll put all of these in now.
