[Guess and Check]

Apologies for bringing this back a few months later, but one idea I had was to make a separate telegram folder that automatically populates with whatever templates you create.

It's a bit difficult to sort through a multitude of pages to look for one template I need in my sent telegrams folder. Not sure if this is possible, but it'd be pretty helpful.

A search button for dispatches.

YES

This is one of the most popular, and, quite frankly, one of the best things to put into reffect. It would be sooooooo useful

Those of use who send a lot of telegrams for different purposes tend to get a lot of replies, and it can be hard to juggle telegrams related to map requests, sport RPs, and recruitment. So I suggest telegram tags. little text tags that are invisible to the recipient of the telegram, but when they respond cause their telegram to be immediately sorted into a folder of the same name as the tag. That way I can add a "recruitment" tag to the end of my recruitment tele and a "tournament" tag to the end of my sports RP invitation and a "map" tag to my map announcement and all the people who respond to each will be neatly sorted into a corresponding folder and I can handle them all while i'm doing that particular task instead of trying to juggle things.

Spoken like someone with Postmaster-General who can use telegram folders

Hah, I forgot you had to pay for those.

Obviously it's time to introduce Postmaster-General+, with auto-sortation and weekday access to the staff cocktail bar

Here's a feature that I really want:

Have the ablity to embed SVG code and have it render as an SVG once a comment has been posted. I do almost all of my art in SVG and I don't want to use an image hosting service. (It would also be great to have this feature for dispatches/factbooks.)

It could be like:

Code: Select all

It would also be nice if the BBCode and NSCode were unified.
