Everything from suggestions that doesn't totally suck. (IE: anything non-obsolete, non-reactionary, and not related to details of LiveJournal.com's business plan and not LiveJournal-the-service).

(Built over time, la la la, categorize however y'all find appropriate...)

Memories

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/348380.html -- Option at time of entry creation to instantly make entry a memory.

This would be fairly easy to implement if actually wanted.

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/349056.html -- Export memories by category (needs work to avoid huge hit).

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/380025.html -- Indicate in archive view (or other places too?) if entry has been added as a memory (by me) (maybe public memory by others too).

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/891542.html - Revamp Memories - "should feel like a cross between delicious and inbox management;" specifically, put categories/keywords on the left and memorified links on the right. Better ability to bulk edit/rename/move between memories cats. Better ability to see/find uncategorized memories. Add the ability to add a note to a memory, a la delicious?

Service-specific markup

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/350836.html -- List of pre-defined people and/or entities that could be linked to in a way similar to another local-service user, except this would be defined per-journal by the user, for example, <lj cast="mymom">. Link would go to sub-page belonging to user, the space defined for "mymom", where the user could provide all the relevant explanation of the person and/or entity "mymom".

Inbox/ESN/Notifications

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/887768.html - mark PMs as read after they've been replied to in the Inbox

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/889605.html - two parts.

- 1. Don't allow blank PMs to be sent. - 2. LJ form completion behavior - should be internally consistent, yes (PM form behavior mirrors Tag form behavior, for example - but should also be consistent with external standard form behavior?

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/890016.html - refresh message count in headers when deleting messages in inbox (only on the page where the messages were deleted from, not cross-tab or cross-window)

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/890470.html - need a better process for spam removal - fewer clicks, able to remove in bulk.

http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/890784.html = allow unformatted links in the inbox to be clickable.

Userpics

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/881651.html -- Make anchor tags on the 'allpics' page so that when someone clicks on an icon associated with a post or comment for more information it takes you to that specific icon rather than putting you at the top of a page that may have almost 200 icons on it.

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/356886.html -- Show stats on userpics use (most frequently used) (shinier would be most frequently used over time).

External Services

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/385493.html -- pingback

Moods

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/380573.html -- Moods can show intensity via color modification (probably not suitable for all mood themes)

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/384894.html -- paid mood themes

Site Schemes

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/864581.html -- add "find:" search to Lynx, omg why was this not done back in 2003?

Support

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/882211.html -- enable sorting of Support requests by ones that have no response yet. Counter-suggestions include letting a volunteer tag a request as one they don't want to look at again (e.g., if it's one they know has been answered adequately).

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/882065.html -- enable sorting of Support requests by ones you haven't touched. Also, enable sorting of green support requests by ones you have or haven't touched.

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/362810.html -- link to FAQs about certain error messages with those error messages

Suggestions

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/892296.html - Ability to preview (and then edit) a suggestion during the submissions process. Enthusiastically supported.

Statistics

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/377309.html -- Extended site statistics.

Search

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/419057.html -- Search for users with PGP keys

Et cetera

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/386232.html -- Killfile.

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/386309.html -- redirect www.usersub.example.com to usersub.example.com so fewer people need to be fish-slapped.

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/879620.html?thread=13611524#t13611524 -- friendbot preventative measure proposed by commenter: force completion of captcha for each additional friend an account adds after a certain number of friends are added in a certain amount of time.
