Seeing this recent series of suggestions, in which people are quoting the messages in their new comment to show their agreement, maybe having an upvote/downvote capability for discussions (especially this one) would be a good idea. It would also be good for you, @andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer), to guage what people want most.
I think it'd be a lot more convenient to have sort of a "save/delete draft" button in the forums. I came here from a website(mostly dedicated to Pokemon, but it has its own roleplaying section as well as other forums like creative discussion and a small talk section that are similar to some on here), and that was a feature that they had in their forums. I just think it'd be nice since Notebook seems to slow down sometimes, at least for me, and close out and lose all of what I was going to say. Just something that I thought would be handy! :)

If you do decide implement this new feature @andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer), please put it in place for only this thread (Unless anyone else can think of where it could go as well). It wouldn't really work for general threads and the system is at risk of brigading or actually reducing discussion (It's been seen at /r/worldbuilding on Reddit, where art/picture posts are always upvoted more than text posts. In the top 250 upvoted posts on the sub, only 8 of them are text posts. There are several recent text like posts that are just screenshots. They were upvoted because they're seen to be easier to read).
Can we have an option to see all of the posts and comments we made? I keep losing threads that I've talked in

I second this. And also adding on to this maybe you could implement the ability to follow specific users as well. Whether they’re your friends or what have you.
i’ve noticed there are some major accessibility issues with most of the world building tools here. The homepage is fine and is almost perfectly accessible. But, there is a lot of issues with most of the tools and to be accessible they need a complete overhaul
I might be the only blind user hear, but we don’t want to have the site get a bad reputation because of simple things like accessibility. Often, accessibility makes the site generally easier to use for everyone… not just blind users
and I would assume in the future there will be more blind users
I second what @ahollinger00 said, being disabled myself as well. Representation and accommodation is very important

I would love to have a drop-down menu listing the threads that we participate in/have made.
Idk if its been suggested before (hell i may have suggested it at some point idk) but being able to allow contribution status on specific pages instead of having to give them access to the whole universe would be very nice
also there are still quote a few linking places that link to characters when other things are far more appropriate (example being in the magic pages there is a link label "deities" and it links to characters)
Also the font used for the title of a page on top of the picture is a bit odd in that it doesn't have a legitimate black border and only a stylistic shadow on the right side which makes the text almost unreadable on a white background
edit: also having this post pinned to the top of the forums would be nice. I just bookmarked it on my browser but trying to find it past the flood of other topics takes 5 or 6 minutes
I’m not sure if someone said this already (and I’m sorry if someone did) but I feel like it would be neat to have documents of stories on Notebook in addition to just characters and universes and things like that.
The only reason I say this is because I tried having some of my fellow friends on this site try to read my short-ish story. But since it was originally a Google doc, I had to mess around with all sorts of sharing settings and all that stuff, and it was getting tiresome. I tried sending them a link to the site where I actually had it (this was in a post on a different forum) and some had restrictions to the site and couldn’t read it. So… I just posted it as a comment, and it turned out just super wonky— as in it was just a super long block of text.
And this would benefit everyone that wants to share/critique their stories without making it a terribly strange block of text or anything like that
Thank you, and I’m sorry if someone else already recommended this kind of idea.
Totally. That would be amazing.
I think it would be cool to have a button to mark the thread unread. That way you can open a thread, mark it unread, leave the thread and still get the notification thing saying it’s unread. I say this because sometimes I want to see what someone said but I don’t want to respond right away or I don’t know what to say. So I either don’t open the thread or I open it and leave it open, sometimes forget it to respond to it because it’s marked read.
….. I have a feeling you can do that already……
If not i’m sorry, but with the three dots you can “{mark unread from here” and I think it’d do just that.
Like again, I’m not a genius, but I think you can do that

If you click the three dots next to a comment, you can mark it unread from there.
That’s literally what I just said
Oh, sorry, didn’t see that. I kinda thought your comment was another suggestion.
To anyone who has either
(a) asked for a different page type to be available (such as Cultural traditions, Diseases, Specific Jobs, etc.)
or
(b) asked for changes to the Scratchpad feature
check out andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s most recent update in the Announcement forum! Your wishes may have just been granted. :)
