Description I get a lot of notes every day, as I'm sure a fair number of deviants do. I try to sort them, keep track of which ones I've read and which ones I haven't, but it's not always possible. Sometimes I manage to delete something I didn't mean to or open something that I didn't mean to.

Mark as unread
In hotmail (I've never used any other e-mail system) there is a button you can click to mark something as unread, just in case you accidentally opened something you didn't mean to, or you want to remind yourself it's something you need to get back to. I think a button like this would be incredibly effective for the note center.

Edit folders
I have sometimes made a folder and placed it under the wrong section, or named it something I didn't quite like and didn't realize until after there were notes in it. If there were an "edit folder" button in the "manage folders" section then it would be highly effective in eliminating this issue. The "edit folders" button would have to allow for the deviant to rearrange the folders or to rename the folders as they see fit. If the folder system were updated to a "drag-and-drop" kind of system, then it would be much simpler than a button. The deviant would simply click the folder (when in "manage folders") and drag it to where they would like it to be. Much like the gallery folder system.

Deleted notes
I find it disconcerting that as soon as you delete a note, it vanishes for good. There should be a third permanent folder (like "Inbox" and "Sent Items") which would be called "Deleted Items." When a deviant deletes a note, it gets sent to this box and the box automatically clears the notes after a week, but if the deviant decides, in that week, that they don't actually want to delete it, then they can go into the box and put it where they want to have it.

Notes button
Currently, to get at your notes when you don't have any unread, you have to go to your message box and click on another button to get to your notes. There should be an optional button in the more menu that takes you directly to your notes. This would allow for an easier time when writing to other deviants, instead of going to their page and clicking "send a note" or going through your message center.

that you dont have to go through your messages to get to your notes!!!!\
awesome huh?!!?!?1

okay you know how u have that like menu at the top of your page?
where it had the DA logo then the search bar then a bunch of things and at the end it says 'more' do u know what im talking about?
well okay click 'more' and at the bottim of the little drop down menu in the bottom right hand corner it says 'reset toolbar' or something along those lines!
and then you can more around and add or remove things right? so u go to the little thing that says 'account tools' on the right hand sid of the drop down menu and then in there somewhere it says NOTES and so u click and drg it so its up in the little menu thing!!!! and TADAA u has your notes right THARRRR

exciting huh?!!??!!?

And congrats on the DD.

Great ideas! I hope they become a reality.
I'd also like a Select All button too, as it is tedious to select each note individually and then delete them.

That's a great idea.
I'm always losing track of notes that I need to get back to.DX

Sometimes I open one and realize that I don't feel like answering it yet and then it get buried and I never see it again.TT_TT
Well I hope DA puts some thought in to it.XD

I agree with the idea of having a notes button- I keep having to search for how to access my notes because I don't get them too often.

Dragging and dropping notes to a folder sounds like a good idea too. There should be drag and drop folder systems for the people you watch as well. People would be a lot easier to sort if I didn't have to type their names in every time I want to move them to a different category.

Zosalot [2009-07-23 17:00:13 +0000 UTC]

Those are all good ideas! Deviantart should of had those in the first place. And it looks like your idea is getting some attention too. 8D I really like the idea of just having a note button too. Some notes are pretty nice so I like to read them when there is nothing else to do so I think making a note button is a GREAT idea!
