Eventually, we'll probably run across theme-specific wishes; we can put them here, or remove the redirect from Themes Wishlist and put them in there and re-add that link to From LJ Suggestions. For now, though, better to centralize. See also S2 Wishlist for wishes about the S2 system.

General

  • http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/885119.html - Style=mine should never step on another journal's actual content (when this suggestion is combined with related suggestions from other months and its comments). The problem specific to this suggestion is that Sticky Posts are only available in certain styles, and even the contents of such posts are treated as a style element rather than content, so that when viewing a journal under style=mine, one's own Sticky Post (or lack thereof) displays, rather than the Sticky Post of the journal being viewed.
  • http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/911865.html - The compiler currently thinks the word function means there is a function, even when this word is in comments. So, in the left-side panel, it lists lines which are not the start of a function. Just have the compiler ignore the word function if it's within comments. [Note: I don't do this sort of coding, so how important/impossible this is I cannot evaluate]
  • http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/874725.html - Option to view an entry without its comments. I'm not sure if this is going to be a styles thing, a sitescheme thing; I think it's going to affect a number of things, and it might be time to create an Entry/Comment viewing wishlist.

Standardization

Which features should possibly be included in all layouts?

  • Nested tags, with user specified delimiter
  • The ability to edit the action link list for posts; remove or include links such as tag, edit, link, comment, etc. Possibly the ability to reorder these links.
  • As few table-based layouts as possible
  • Tag page options: cloud, list (with nesting), table. Ordering: alphabetical, by usage. Should also be able to access these by URL.
  • Quick reply and comment editing.
  • Entry dates link to archive dates?
  • Guestbook entry
  • All should be tag aware
  • All should allow external stylesheets
  • All should allow link lists
  • All should show the entry/comment you are replying to on the reply page!
  • Lots of customizable text
  • The ability to have user icons in posts, for both recent and reading pages
  • Timezone support
  • Adjustable sidebar (modules at the least, likely positioning too)
  • Adjustable font size (this might require altering css to prevent overflow in width-defined containers)
  • Sticky posts
