  • http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/889605.html - 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/643881.html - Have the option of getting all notifications by email only and not use the Inbox at all. (We've discussed this, and there are good reasons not to do it -- instead we'll make the inbox easier to use and bulk-delete items)
  • http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/837018.html -- More flexible PM permission options (OP suggests this workaround - When you send a message to someone who can't normally PM you, you should get a confirmation screen with a warning and the option of adding them to the allowed list, e.g. 'If you send this message, this person will be able to reply to you for one week, in spite of your settings. If you would like this person to always be able to message you, ticky.')
  • Provide full options (Inbox, etc) for outside-of-journal comment notifications. Zilla 36
  • http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/898112.html - In emails, provide some way to unsubscribe. For active accounts, this could include a link to the Manage Subscriptions page for active accounts. For inactive accounts, this could be an authcode link that would allow you to turn them off without logging in - maybe only offer this for News notifs, since they're the only ones most inactive people keep getting.
    • Counter-suggestion in comments: "You are receiving this message because you have a LiveJournal account. If you no longer wish to receive these announcement messages, click [here]. If you no longer wish to receive ANY e-mail from LiveJournal, click [here]." Then, it would take the user to a confirmation page where it would say "This e-mail address will no longer receive any e-mail from LiveJournal (or "copies of news and announcements.") To undo this setting, do FOO."
    • Bonus points if it can turn off the selected notifications for all accounts using the same email address. Otherwise if someone turns it off for one account, the next News post could still be sent to them under another DW account, making it look like the unsubscribe request was ignored.
  • In emails, always state the username(s) that is signed up for the notification. People with multiple accounts they've forgotten about often can't figure out why turning off news notifs doesn't work.
  • At top of Manage Subscriptions page, have a row of checkboxes you can use to select your default notification methods that will be automatically selected when you create a new subscription. LJ's default is Inbox and email only, but this would allow each person to choose their own default.
  • A 'save' button at both top and bottom of Manage Subscriptions page.
  • Make HTML in private messages either be parsed or display, rather than vanishing.
  • Have private messaging be turned on/off from Manage Subscriptions, not Edit Profile - or at least provide a link from the former to the latter!
  • Make notification language gender-specific when a gender has been specified.
