Title:
Be Able To Customize "Member Posts" Text In Communities

Area:
communities, customization

Summary:
We should be able to customize the navigation text for the reading in page in communities.

Description:
Currently, the reading text for communities defaults to "Member's Posts", which makes sense. However, it also makes sense that we should be able to customize the text in the 'Customize Journal Style - Text' page like we can with the other navigation links.

Title:
Error notification character limit in post title

Area:
Entries

Summary:
Add an error notification that title text goes over character limit.

Description:
I didn't notice for three days that my title text got cut off on a post I made. If there could be either a popup after you hit post, or on the post complete page, or even if there was a lathing character limit in the actual entry box, some way I can know when I post that my entry title is too long would be great.

Links List on switching layouts

Area:
links lists

Summary:
If a user has more than 10 links (including blank spaces for headers) in their links list, on switching layouts, a user loses links 11 onwards. Could there be some way to change things so that a user doesn't lose links?

Description:
If a user has more than 10 links (including blank spaces for headers) in their links list, on switching layouts, a user loses links 11 onwards. Could there be some way to change things so that a user doesn't lose links? I recently changed layouts, not realising that I'd lose a good portion of my links list in doing so, and I don't suppose I'm the only one - and I don't know if there's any way to go back and get them again.

Title:
View your own votes in a creator-only poll

Area:
polls

Summary:
See what you entered when you filled out a poll where the poll creator only may view the specific answers.

Description:
Previously, someone filling out a poll where only the creator could view the specific answers would be able to see what they'd answered when going to change the answer. However, in a move to make blanking out one's answers to a poll easier, the change-answer view now does not display answers.

I'm not sure what the best way to balance the need to be able to easily clear a poll entry, and the need to see one's answers in the poll, would be, but I am confident that dw_suggestions will have ideas.

Title:
Fix icon display on icon mouseover

Area:
Icons

Summary:
When I mouse over an entry's icon, the icon shown with the displayed information is elongated into a rectangle, distorting the image. Fix it so it's square.

Description:
See summary.

I don't think this used to happen. Possibly it doesn't happen with all styles or browsers, but it does for me with Transmogrified, IE8.

I looked through the entries here tagged "icons", but I couldn't find anything about this. I apologize if it's already been mentioned elsewhere.

Title:
Disambiguate authorship in Site Scheme(s)

Area:
styles

Summary:
When viewing a journal with ?style=site, it's difficult in some cases to figure out who the author is.

Description:
See <a href="http://elf.dreamwidth.org/2010/09/16/?style=site">this entry</a>. <user name=elf> asks people to link to the date of the entry rather than the entry's individual URL. I'm viewing the page in Tropospherical Red; I can see <user name=elf>'s icon, but not hir name.

I found similar issues when viewing:

* <a href="http://elf.dreamwidth.org/2010/?style=site">by year</a>; neither username nor icon is shown.

* <a href="http://elf.dreamwidth.org/?style=site"> recent entries</a>, ditto.

* <http://denise.dreamwidth.org/2009/01/?style=site>by month</a>; username is given twice, but so discreetly you'd think that mentioning authorship is taboo.

* <a href="http://denise.dreamwidth.org/2009/02/20/?style=site">by date</a> on a day that multiple entries were made, ditto.

...These issues are common to all combinations of journal style + site scheme that I checked (a not-thorough number of permutations of elf, me, and denise versus Tropo Red, Tropo Purple, Celerity, and Lynx).

This is especially bad in cases where a ?style=site URL might be widely circulated among people unfamiliar with LJ/DW, as in my first example.

In conclusion: For individual journals, the username should be prominent. For comms, the comm name and poster's username should be prominent.

Title:
Content warning cuts on reading list

Area:
Adult content warnings

Summary:
The lj-cut text that shows up on a reading list and journal pages for entries in journals and communities with adult content filters is misleading.

Description:
When someone logged out (or otherwise having adult content filters set) is looking at a reading page containing entries from journals and communities that have set adult content warnings, the entries are replaced with cuts with a preset text.

All entries flagged 18+/adult content get the text "You're about to view content that a community administrator has marked as possibly inappropriate for anyone under the age of 18." - referencing a community administrator - even when the entry is in a private journal, which makes it appear that the flag could have been set by somebody other than the journal owner.

Conversely, all entries with the viewer discretion flag set get the text "You're about to view content which the journal owner has advised should be viewed with discretion. " - even if they're entries in communities, which is also confusing, though less so.

ETA: This problem seems to only appear when the entire journal is set to adult content, not when individual entries are marked. When individual entries are marked, the text is correct.

The language in the cuts should be changed so that references to community maintainers and journal owners are either removed, or match the type of the journal.

It would be very nice if the cut text was in general re-written to be more informative - more like the text you get if you click through to the warning page, giving a reason, who did the marking, and the fact that the whole journal is marked, not just the one entry* - but at the very least, the misleading language about community administrators needs to be fixed.

*yes, clicking on "You're about to view content which the journal owner has advised should be viewed with discretion" to get to pictures of a kitten playing with string *is* amusing, but also very odd to anyone who isn't already familiar with how the filters work.

Title:
Order of birthdays on logged-in homepage

Area:
logged-in homepage

Summary:
The birthdays on the logged-in homepage seem to currently be displaying with the soonest on bottom and the latest on top. I suggest having the soonest on top.

Description:
...And this feels so minor for a suggestion, but hey.

I looked at the list of birthdays, and said "ah, none until September," and then realized there was an August birthday below that. I think it would make much more sense to have them with the one that happens first on top. That way it is easier to notice and understand.
