Two requests for me!

Can the icon and gallery pages just be combined? Add icons directly to a gallery, instead of having to add an icon and then find it again to add it to the gallery? And similarly to not have to look at a giant pile of unsorted icons when adding a new icon.

And, can the delete icon be more user friendly? Right now I have to painstakingly click on each icon I want to delete and be redirected to its page to press delete, then be redirected back. I'd like the ability to just delete a ton of icons pretty easily.

That actually seems to already be on the to-do list! I'm not sure everyone has permission to access it, though.

I've just done a couple of fixes for small screens, and provided Marri's okay with them I guess you'll see them on the actual site some time soon.

• Fix for narrow text display area on small screens (I made the character info display up the top of the post, instead of to the left, if the screen size is less than 600 pixels. Perhaps this should be 500 pixels, or somewhat modified; I dunno.
• Fix a crash when accessing /characters without a ?user_id to view specified, and when you're not logged in.
• Fix long titles, the "Mark Unread" button, and a small screen (or at least small enough that the long title takes up two lines) causing the first post to bug out and be a little narrower than usual. Not totally sure I did this in the best way possible (being technical, I did it by setting the parent of a floated element to display as an inline-block, but I'm not sure if that's very widely supported).

Tiny things that would be nice for me:

1) When you're posting on a multi-page thread, and hit "submit," it always takes you back to page 1 of the thread. It would be nice to have it stay on the current page.

2) When you add select icons to add to a gallery, it shows them all at full-size, which can be a pain to scroll through if you've uploaded a bunch of large-sized images. Could they display at icon-size instead?

No idea how doable those are/if other people would also like them, though.

+1 both suggestions
Can there be more than one theme? Like in dreamwidth? Add something to the link and it's a different colour? Or just a color change button would be OK too.

Man, Aestrix's request was supposed to be so simple and then I got all bogged down refactoring everything so that characters could have multiple galleries and trying to figure out a way for characters to have an icon assigned that wasn't in a gallery (so you can upload one-offs for things like Bar) aaaaand I'll figure it out. I admit nothing. It's on the list.

@Moriwen I thought I'd fixed #1, might've introduced a regression, I'll take a look. #2 should be fixed around when I get to doing "upload your own icon"; right now it's a mix of "people use large images they want resized" and "people use non-square correctly sized images they don't want stretched".

@Timepoof multiple layouts is on the v2 To Do list already :)

I see this is already on the To Do list, but +1 for being able to select a time zone.

I have a new suggestion!

The button for changing your character is where you go to post at the bottom of the screen, but often enough the box that opens for it goes past the bottom of the screen, so I have to scroll down after scrolling down in order to choose the character I'd like to switch to. And I am lazy. Can this be fixed in some way?

+1 million to aestrix's latest suggestion, for I too am lazy

[Adelene]

The dropdown for changing the number of posts per page does this thing, too; it might be efficient to fix them both at once.

@aestrix @kappa I did a jumpy thing to fix the scrolling. I haven't decided how I feel about the jumpy thing, since it is very jumpy. I could just pad the bottom of the page with the appropriate whitespace for the selectors and turn off the jumpy, but then it's annoying because when you jump to the end of the page, instead of the form to write a new post, it's lots of whitespace. I must consider this. (@adelene posts-per-page dropdown I'll go back and fix as well once I decide if I'm keeping the jumpy or not.)

@jalapeno_dude I have pushed a modification to how the Unread page selects by user id (for the technical, I'm putting the condition in the JOIN instead of in the WHERE). Does it look more accurate now?

I was going to do the timezone thing tonight but I think I might need to finish the gallery changes first. Sad.
