I know they have server trouble, but this is annoying. I'm in the middle of reading a multichapter story there, but it takes always five attempts or so to get the thing to respond, and just now it doesn't at all for me. *grumble*

In other news, AO3 has a post asking what features you would like to see in your ideal fanart archive, as they plan to expand from just fiction eventually. There are many ideas already in comments, but if you are a fanartist or like looking at fanart, you should chime in too.

I find the xposting notices annoying too, but yesterday I submitted a suggestion that it should only be notify you for errors, and the moderator informed me that there actually already is a bug for this. It is planned to make the xposting notifications something you can deselect in your settings and then you'll only get errors. No time table yet, but the ton of crosspost notifications won't be here forever.

Oh, really? *perks* I would love that; the notices are just an annoyance to me, not a useful feature. The thought of asking for it hadn't occurred to me; I guess I'd assumed it was in there because most people wanted it.

I hang out a lot in dw_suggestions and have submitted a couple. Basically whenever I notice something that bugs me I complain there asking for new features *g*. I never did that on LJ because the suggestions comm there seemed somewhat intimidating, but this one is nice.

And some of my suggestions have been moved to bugzilla to be implemented eventually, and some are even now on the site already. Like in the style preview, that you can now also preview your reading page in the new style, not just the recent entries, or that other fields besides the main entry are saved when you restore a draft. These bothered me and I made a suggestion and now it's fixed. It's nice to feel like you can help shape the functions you want.
