I get that. The web of characters. The way I did relationships you can have one person's opinion/feelings about a person, that way it's rarely the same.
Here's my beloved Sam who seems to be the most filled out so you can see.

first off, i really like the update. this is a tiny thing, but i've been using the timeline feature (which is a rockin' tool), and i think it would be helpful if there was a multi-add option for linked pages. some of my events include a lot of characters and i keep having to go through and add-click-add-click-add-click like 7 characters every time lol

Can there be a way for us to add our own links to pages? I know we can link other pages by pressing @, but it doesn’t show up in the associations like the links do

Saw a topic in the support page about a user acidently deleted content of one document, and was thinking, it is something that can happen to all of us, or simple we change something we regret later and want to change, maybe creating temporary save files, that later we can confirm as definitive (maybe having a button to save definitive and the autosave that we still have doing temporary changes?)

@andrew health_and_safety flash_onAdmin

Lots of great suggestions lately (that I plan on getting more into in the future) but just wanted to pop in on the most recent 2 comments:

Can there be a way for us to add our own links to pages? I know we can link other pages by pressing @, but it doesn’t show up in the associations like the links do

There's some technical reasons that make it really card to add additional links like that, but right now I'm planning on adding @mentions to the associations tab just like a link would. I actually also get a lot of feedback asking to be able to add text to link fields. Adding custom link-only fields isn't out of the question, but right now I'm trying to just bridge the gap between text fields and link fields so they can each do what the other can do. Hoping to do both eventually, though.

maybe creating temporary save files, that later we can confirm as definitive (maybe having a button to save definitive and the autosave that we still have doing temporary changes?)

This is something I've been thinking through the best way to do a lot lately, and I think I'll end up doing something very similar to this. Most likely, I'll add a button that lets you create a "restoration point" for a document that you can always revert back to, but the document will continue to autosave from that point on like normal. I'm looking through other suggestions on the topic to see if I can build something that works well for everyone.

Hello there! There are a few text boxes (searching in the Icons box, typing in the Premium Members nickname thing) where the text is still white when you are in dark mode. That makes it difficult to see what you are typing :(

@polkadots11

I know blocking someone makes you unable to see their posts, but will it ever change to make it so that they can't see yours?

@ZoeVictoria

Another thing I’d like to see that would make this site near perfect for me would be mass editing options, mostly the ability to mass delete things.

@Purple-Cat location_cityThe Worldbuilder

Could there be a way for us to choose a single photo to be a sort of profile picture in the gallery, so if we have multiple photos it doesn’t switch to a different one every time?

Hi guys, a re-order, chronological or anachronological button on the Timeline pages would be usefull.

@crashing_praxina group

Can we get the ability to archive everything in a universe at once, please and thank you. I would like to archive a universe and EVERYTHING in that universe be archived as well. It is very annoying to have to archive everything in a universe one by one. Again, please and thank you andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) :)

Hi guys, a re-order, chronological or anachronological button on the Timeline pages would be usefull.

I would love something like this. I would also like to suggest two types of entries you can make in the Timeline section. The current type that covers a specific event, and a new type that covers a period of time. Differentiate them with "event" and "era" perhaps? So you can place events within an era. I hope that makes sense.

@andrew health_and_safety flash_onAdmin

@rab That makes sense. I've got a version 2 of the timeline editor in the works that should make it a lot less clunky to work with, so suggestions like this are highly appreciated so I can try to work them into its next release also. :)

@redwood eco

A suggestion that I had in mind was the ability to deny or accept DMs. So like, you can have your settings so that no one can DM you, everyone can DM you, or only people you're following can DM you. I haven't received a DM yet, but I was just thinking that it could be a good way to prevent spam DMs, trolls, or harassing DMs.

@HighPockets group

I agree! Also a way to leave or delete DMs. I have some that I have with friends where we've forgotten to add someone and then not used the chat, some that I've been added to against my will, some one-on-ones with deleted users, etc. that I'd like to clear out.

@furetakunai ac_unit

Yeah, same. Also, my friend and I were messing around some time ago and jokingly blocking each other, but we found that people you've blocked can still DM you. I found that a bit strange.

@Purple-Cat location_cityThe Worldbuilder

Would it be possible to make it so the option to delete a page is only available when editing a page? I’ve been viewing my change logs recently and almost accidentally deleted some of my pages a few times.

@Althalosian-is-the-father book

I’m thinking it would be nice to have the Customize Character Template and New Character on the top instead of bottom. Then I wouldn’t have to scroll through 80+ characters first. Maybe that sort of thing for everything.
