Title
To-Do Lists

Short, concise description of the idea
I would like to recommend that you add an option for a To-Do List that can be shared just like the journal can be shared.

Full description of the idea
Similar to www.tadalist.com, a person could create a to-do list that could be viewable (and editable?) by the people they choose to share it with. You could also expand it to be more than just to-do lists, but any sort of list that the person chooses, like to-buy lists or "My Favorite Things" list or "Favorite Books" list.

• Add another feature to livejournal
• Create something useful and fun that members can share with their friends, family, etc.

• How to create another section on the mobile app to view lists on the go?
• More technical maintenance?

LJ top now filled with some junk. Id like to filter certain "top bloggers" to see something new, not just stupid kitty photos.

I'd like to filter certain people from my LJtop sight. Thank you.

Title
Send Support answers to Inbox as well as via e-mail

Short, concise description of the idea
In addition to e-mailing the user when their Support request has been answered, send a copy of that answer to their inbox as well.

Full description of the idea
On occasion, for several possible reasons, mail from LiveJournal fails to arrive to a user's e-mail address. When that user has opened a Support request and is awaiting a response this can cause a lot of frustration because they feel they're being ignored. And Support volunteers feel frustration as they end up digging through multiple requests from the same user, each asking mostly the same question.

I suggest that in addition to the e-mail that an answer on the Support board sends, the same answer should be sent as a message to the user's LiveJournal inbox. This would ensure that the user was receiving at least one copy of their answer.

I imagine it'd be best to handle these as private messages, so that the user has to receive a copy. If Support notifications were a new kind of notification that could be toggled separately for inbox, e-mail, IM, & alerts, then some people would turn off the inbox notification and all benefit would be lost.

• Less frustration for users as they'd be receiving assurance that their Support request had been heard and dealt with.
• Less frustration for Support volunteers as un-ignored users are less likely to open multiple Support requests.
• 
  

• Engineering time.
• Some folks will be annoyed at getting double notifications.

Title
Ability to declutter Manage Friends page of ex-friends.

Short, concise description of the idea
On the Mange Friends page, have a way to segregate (or even remove completely) dormant and ex-friends from current friends and comms.

Full description of the idea
As far as I can tell, there's no way to remove accounts from the table on the Manage Friends page.

Currently any individual or comm ever friended appears in the Manage Friends matrix. F-lists change over time, and for those of us who have had an account for years, this table becomes cluttered with account names that are defunct or that we will never re-add for whatever reason.

I'd like to see an option for permanently clearing a comm or ex-friend from that table in order to make it less cumbersome to use.

I brought this up in September 2009. At that time, the response was that the notes feature would assist in managing the Manage Friends page. Notes is nice as a memory jog, but it adds, not deletes, information.

• Declutters the Manage Friends page making it easier to use - especially helpful if the account holder has been on LJ for many years.

• If inactive friends were removed completely and a user wants to re-add a person or comm, they would have to go to a little more trouble to do so.
• I really don't know enough about coding to know how big a headache this would be, but I'd think anything that allows us to delete information would take up less resources rather than more.

Title
Multiple accounts

Short, concise description of the idea
User be able to access more than one livejournal account at once.

Full description of the idea
I have more than one livejournal account. I would love to be able to be logged in to all my accounts at once..or at least be able to go from one account to the other without having to log in and out every time. So, my suggestion is allow us to be able to log into more than one account at a time.

Or, do something like hotmail did. I have multiple hotmail email accounts that I use for different things. I am able to sync those accounts. So, that if I'm logged into one account I can toggle though a list of my accounts, select it, and boom I'm in my other email account. Super easy and quick navigation between accounts.

• People will probably update and log into old accounts more
  It will be easier to log into multiple counts. So, people will update all accounts more often and have more diversity of content they want to write about.
• I have different friends list on my accounts. If I'm in the middle of writing on one journal and want to reference something that a friend wrote on another account I can do that more easily. Quicker and more concise content.
• People will actually want to come on here to write or read about ALL the different subjects they want to.
• In one easy navigable sitting they can go from their food journal, to feminism journal, to regular daily life journal, and gardening journal!!

• Well, maybe security risks? If one account is compromised then all the others are. Really though thats up to the user. Not your problem. They make the decision. Have some fort of agreement that covers your butt ;D

Title
character limit warning

Short, concise description of the idea
It would be useful to have some sort of warning when you are writing a long comment and getting close to the allowed amount of characters.

Full description of the idea
On some sites where there limits to how long a post or comment can be they have a small counter so the user can see how many characters they have left to work with. Given the fact that LJ allows for pretty long comments, it's difficult to know when you are getting close to the limit and then you have to either spend a lot of time editing and re-wording stuff or splitting it into to two separate comments. If you knew when you were getting close to the limit, you could do something about it sooner, either start a new comment or edit without having to attempt posting regularly to see how many more characters you have to shave off.

• People would be able to see when their posts or comments were too long

• Some might find it confusing or annoying to have the counter there.
• (maybe it could be an opt-in/opt-out setting for the journal)

Title
Add "Jump to Top" and "Jump to Bottom" buttons

Short, concise description of the idea
Implement a "jump to top" button similar the the one present on most Tumblr blogs. Also implement a "jump to bottom" button.

Full description of the idea
Tumblr is essentially a graphics-heavy Twitter - which is to say it has a different purpose and function in life than LiveJournal. Many of their design elements would be inappropriate here. However, I think that the "jump to top" button that appears when you've begun to scroll down a Tumblr blog or dashboard would be wildly helpful.

Along the same lines, a "jump to bottom" button would also be helpful on freinds pages, allowing users to quickly determine if they need to go back another page to see if there are more entries they should read since the last time they looked.

• faster navigation

• I am unsure if Tumblr's implementation is friendly to those using screen readers and mobile devices.

Title
Changes needed for Live Journal

Short, concise description of the idea
I am a writing teacher for international university students. I sign up a new class of students every two months to use your site. Today trying to explain how to use your site to a lower level group was really frustrating. To be frank, your site is not very user friendly. I am taking the time (that I don’t have much of) to share this with you for your own good. I also do this because I have a personal interest in seeing this site be all that it could be.

Full description of the idea
Ok, what specifically is frustrates me with your site:

Friends:

1. First of all you have 2 menus one stacked on top of the other at the top of the home page. It is a little odd… but ok.

2. What is the difference between “Friends Page” in the 1st menu and “Friends” just below it? That’s a little confusing. Well let’s see, I click on “Friends Page”. Now I am on a very strange page. I have several friends who have written recent posts, but this page is blank from the top to the bottom! Then I notice that the top menu bar is thinner now and grey, but it used to be dark blue. This menu in the same position as it was on the homepage (just under the username) now gives a different set of options than before. Hmm?

The Home page:

1. Are you a journaling site? Good, then a user’s personal journal, with a button for adding a new post, should dominate the page! Well hey, such a page exists. Where is it? Under the “Journal” tab? I don’t see it there. I found it under the “Friends” tab! Click “Friends Page” (a new tab called “Friends” appears – the whole page is blank) then chose the “Recent Entries” tab to the left. What do you get? Your friend’s recent entries? No, YOUR recent entries. To see your friend’s comments you must select the link under each entry. Strange. I did finally figure out that from the home page you can click on the tab itself called “Journal” to see your journal, though it doesn’t highlight like each selection in the drop down menu, so it is not obvious that it is an active link.

2. The homepage should have a column showing recent friend’s posts with an option to comment. Do you offer live chat? Show, on the homepage, which friends are online and have a chat box at the ready.

3. Also, you need to have a menu that has the most important links and that is always accessible on every page – it needs to look the same. What are the important functions? My students want to post an entry (your button is very small). They want to set up links with their friends. They want to read what their friends have posted, and comment on that. They want to IM with their friends. They want to go to their friend’s page. These should be in a consistent menu that appears the same on every page. I find it interesting that on your homepage you have a small link “Post” and on the “Friends Page” it calls it “Post to Journal” with a little icon. I think there needs to be consistency of verbiage and design.


4. Your homepage is full of things that are not personalized content. The dominant box is “LiveJournal Today” with a bunch of objectionable material on it. (today it has “Sh*t vegans say, and a bunch of Fri the 13th horror photos). In fact there is clutter all over the site. One of my students was viewing your running window showing recent user posts and one of the posters had F*ck in his user name - gross. Anyway, no one cares that much about YOUR content (or F*ck’s content) – they already have to deal with the advertising on the page. Instead, They really just want to see THEIR OWN content and the people THEY KNOW.

There are more issues. All you have to do to find problems is sit down with someone who is new to the site and see if they can navigate. Thanks for listening. Send me a note, if you care to.

• Retention of user's - otherwise they will give up and join another site.

• A lot of work to implement this.

Add "Pinterest" to List of External Services

Short, concise description of the idea
In the Connect Section of the Profile Page, add Pinterest to the list of External Services.

Full description of the idea
Pinterest is an up-and-coming social network that is already linked to Twitter and Facebook. I think it'd be great to list it as one of the External Services options on the Profile Page.

• Another way to connect with other LiveJournal users; another way for LiveJournal users to share information about themselves.

• Very little - a few tweaks of the code.
