Bookmarks and Friends Sorting

socio-cultural relations? Really? Call me silly but I’d rather hear about the cats…lol.

I have the same problem forming a coherent thought after long bouts of mind-numbing television. Ugh.

If I might make suggestion- the member index is clunky. Sorting by first letter is fine, but being able to drill the search further by including a second letter (or even a third) wuld vastly reduce search time. i.e.- instead of searching all of the “A” diaries, an “Ab” or even an “Abc” search would be far more specific. Thanks for the recent flurry of improvements! BTW- does theautomatic logout feature we used to have no longer work? I’m back to having to manually logout once again when I leave OD. I really liked that feature. I thought that perhaps it was one of those unintended consequences of some other improvement, but it’s been several months now since it last worked for me.

Ryn- Thank you, sir!

Thanks DM..

Thnk you! 🙂 xoxo

always improving the site brilliantly! you are the best!!!

Oh, very neat! Thanks!

how are your cats? thanks for the changes. you’re always working to improve the site. take care,

Always, you write that highly lucid comment first then give us the technical stuff. 🙂 Thanks…….

Ah yes… I am familiar with how King of the Hill and Family Guy can drive one into a deep lucidity. I’ll look forward to when you reember it 😀

That’s really awesome! Only trouble – I sort my bookmarks & then go back and its back to the regular updated first to last list.. also.. in my groups, diaries aren’t in the list by date.. they are just all mixed up – no rhyme or reason.. Somethings you’re still working on? Thank you though, for the grouping option!!

Hi there, just wondering if there was any way you could make the diary notes have more characters? They’re too small!

Neat 🙂 Thanks 🙂

If I had a dime for every time the King of the Hill and Family Guy hours on Adult Swim had derailed an OD entry… I’d be quite rich. lol Glad to see I’m not the only one though! 🙂

don’t you ever rest? smiles P

Family Guy will do that to you.

Why did you remove the login block from the sidebar of the diary pages. If I’m browsing around, and visit a diary when not signed in, I have to go to login tab, different screen, log in, try and find diary I was visiting and start all over. so complicated when it used to be so simple. ????? what happened?

So, we can no longer use the s-word? Really? I mean, I get that you don’t want obscene language on here, but the s word? Sigh.

Overall, I’ve been very happy with OD’s changes. The one thing I can’t stand: the ad at the top of the home page. It has a ‘rollover to expand’ feature, but it won’t contract again after you roll off! As a paid member, it’s annoying as all get-out but, of course, the site doesn’t know I’m paid because it’s on the login page. Basically, I hit that stupid ad every time I open OD, and it’s annoying.I mean, really. If an ad annoys me, I’m LESS likely to click it, you know? Other than that, you’re doing a great job with all the changes, upgrades, improvements, and maintenance! Thanks, DM!

You are such a geek…I mean that in the nicest way possible 😉

The new censorship is rather amusing; are we not trusted to police ourselves? If proper writing and word usage is that big a concern, I recommend an editor for the front page. That “anyways” bothers me a lot more than any profanity might.

Why haven’t you mentioned the new note censorship? I think people should be informed.

I second the comment about the note censorship.

Thanks. Good deal.

Sorry to bother, Im new here. I read the entry in which you talk about mdd, im an ex-mdd… do you have any idea if there’s any way in which i can take back all i’ve written in mdd?. Or is that completely lost? =(. Thanks. xoxo

The obscene language thing … how about having it as an option for people that don’t want it displayed in notes?

I definitely don’t like the language filtered notes. Can you make that an option? Thanks.

[james ensor] and [the fourth son] are right. why don’t you mention the note censorship? perhaps explain the justification for it.

You forgot to mention the asterisks.

Hopping on the “boo censorship” train. One suggestion I saw was implementing an option for people to filter notes on their own diary, turned on by default for new diaries, turned off by default for existing diaries. Choice is always better.

i’m hugely disapointed with the new note censoring and the lack of notice about it here in your diary. i’ve read several explanations from various admins on a few diaries, but each explanation was pretty hollow in my opinion. some people don’t want swearing in their note sections? who decides what a swear word is then? and you can be just as offensive without swear words as you can with them. why not make it an option? i want people to be able to express themselves OPENly in my OPEN Diary. i don’t want them filtered, asterisked or otherwise censored. What makes those who want censorship more important than me? This is all just hugely disapointing.

Hi Bruce, please come by my diary and read my latest entry about censorship on OD. Your response to it would be deeply appreciated. Those of you here protesting ODs new word bans can throw in your lot against censorship by joining the “Pro-Swearing” interest.

Yes, please get rid of that ridiculous high-school Tipper Gore censorship malarkey. What’s really irritating is that it doesn’t even recognize when those particular letters are used in words that aren’t “offensive”. Not that I think any one of the administrators should have the ability to decide what people can or cannot leave in response to my entries on my diary. I believe that should bemy choice and part of the understand I have with my readership. It’s ridiculous that this administration has taken these steps, especially since it’s extremely easy to flaunt them and, also, that the asterisk-ing clearly indicates the intent and the meaning of the note anyway. Anyone who is offended is going to be offended even when they are blanked. These are just words, Bruce. Carlin showed us that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFmRypAYz_E

People are providing you with viable suggestions DM.

Thou droning, crook-pated clot-pole!

Thou mammering, elf-skinned, infectious, common-kissing bum-bailey!

Thou currish, dizzy-eyed, gorbellied, toad-spotted, errant, ill-breeding lewdster!

Thou artless, unchin-snouted huggermugger!

You’re being a dunce, Bruce. A clod. A staggering fool. A silly fop. A jerkface of the highest order. Give us our freedom of speech back!!!!! This is OPEN diary, is it not? Why not rename it CENSORPAGES?

Please consider what so many have suggested: a censorship toggle we can hit for ourselves. That way, people who don’t want to have swear words in their notes can have them starred out, and those of us who don’t mind can let our friends express themselves. At least consider it, please.

Thou clouted, reeling-ripe nut-hook!

Thou unmuzzled, plume-plucked, cockered, boil-brained codpiece!

Thou pribbling, milk-livered coxcomb!

Thou weedy, full-gorged codpiece!

Thou beslubbering, tardy-gaited, currish, earth-vexing gudgeon!

Thou dankish, unchin-snouted, bawdy, hasty-witted, unmuzzled, spur-galled rats-bane!

Thou mewling, hell-hated, quailing, dog-hearted gudgeon!

Heh-heh. Gotta love that simple mind.

Thou currish, dread-bolted, lumpish, spur-galled, goatish, toad-spotted hedge-pig!..

i’m not going to hold my breath, my bookmarks’ new entries STILL don’t always show up in bold since 6.0 came out! :/ 😉

Thou puny, flap-mouthed, spleeny, milk-livered pumpion!

First, I am not pro-censorship. I enjoy my freedom of speech. However, there is a time and place for everything. And there are many young children here, who do not need to be exposed to our crudeness. They get enough of that at school. However, to put it in perspective, nearly all sites allowing posting filter out some language. On Huffington Post, you can’t even use id.i.ot even though there aremany in our political system. Perhaps you could allow us to choose what age groups can read us. Then allow us to turn note filters on or off. I know, more work, but then the crude can be as crude as they enjoy.Be well.

We have free speech again?! Thank you! I appreciate having the choice to use whichever words I feel are appropriate, for both my notes and my diary.

Just thanks for all you do. You made Luna happy

hahahaha!!!!

Just wanted to say, thanks for all the work lately. I would like mass friend-bookmark delete, but things are progressing nicely.

Ditto to [STILL BROKEN]! It took me 6 attempts before being able to log into my account, due to the pop up banner–ludicrous!

hey there, do you have the info on NOJOMO? I would like to do it this year for the first time 🙂
