Request/suggestion: any author of a thread can move that thread to a given section/continuity

Also, continuities can have more than just two authors

Also also, be able to change the order in which threads appear in a continuity

[Marri]

Second one was already on the list, both Throne and Kappa have already requested one and three, I need to sort out how to do that without weird side effects like Throne's coauthor thing xD

You can already reorder things in a section, in case that was unclear – open the individual section (click its title within the continuity) and then click 'Edit' and you have up/down arrows to reorder the threads. (Likewise, edit the continuity to have up/down arrows to reorder the sections within it.) The issue is reordering in a non-sectioned continuity (which presently cannot be done).

In case anybody doesn't know what's meant by my coauthor thing: I went to edit a continuity, saw that it said it was "Open to anyone", edited that to be "Pedro" (the coauthor of that continuity) and ended up kicking myself out of the continuity, because in actual fact Pedro is the author, I'm the coauthor, and when I went to edit it, it got confused over who was coauthor because I wasn't present in the dropdown (can't set yourself as coauthor).

That seems to point to it being a good idea to have a list of authors of a continuity rather than an author and a coauthor.

Yeah, the same UI as the one used to add galleries to characters seems useful.

And for that matter, it might be interesting to allow a character to belong to more than one template, for cases of template blends? Maybe? Not sure if it's something anyone wants enough to not just solve it with creating a new template, or combining templates with groups, or whatever.

[Kappa]

I've been listing my blended templates as plain old templates. It seems adequate.

Other changes that I don't think were announced:

• You can now pick how dates and times display to you! A variety of options are provided, and if more are desired they can presumably be added (12- and 24-hour variants of some common styles I expected people to want)
• Minor: The 'hidden posts' list had an issue where checkboxes would be right against the border of the page – there's now padding
• Minor: The HTML editor is now darkened in starrydark. (The RTF editor, unfortunately, is not because that would be somewhat more difficult to do, I think.)
• Minor: When viewing an individual icon, if it's not in a gallery it will no longer have the "Galleries" header (previously it had a table header and an empty table)
• Minor: When deleting a post, it'll now say "Are you sure you wish to delete this post?" (instead of "this reply")

Possible request: if you're about to reply to a thread with unread replies, maybe it could give you a little pop-up warning?

That seems like it might solve (a) your co-author did two replies in a row and you didn't notice the second because it was on a new page (uh, not that this ever happens to me :P), and (b) you miscommunicated with your co-author and thought they were done replying and they weren't and now there's a new reply you haven't read yet that they wrote while you were writing yours.

It seems like something that might be either trivial or super tricky to implement, and obviously not worth it in the latter case but possibly helpful in the former.
