I think regular users should be able to lock layers on a public board, just so we won't have to bring a mod in every time we need a background, etc. locked.
Well let's say a troll, promoted regular, was to go in a board, unlock the bg, scribble and run away. We could just lock the bg back (to prevent people from fixing it), then contact a moderator about the vandalism.
Commented by DustFinger: Personally I think that sort of thing would create some problems in public boards with many users. Problems like: disagreement on whether or not to lock a layer, or constant locking/unlocking of random layers to annoy people (keep in mind that anyone who signs up can eventually use this feature on public boards if we allow this) - it would be easier for moderators to just undo any damages and lock any requested layers, it's safer
Commented by Sketchpad: Regs can lock and unlock layers if there are 0 segments.
I see, there proably would be a huge war breaking out about that. XD

Also, I do think that having a third color for hybrid boards (or other visual notification) would be helpful.

And having different "skins" or "themes" would be interesting, kind of like a forum setup. Maybe even adding your own images if possible. I know the Skin Select page, but that only affects the homepage.

Another thing I've thought of is that if someone were to be reported, they'd be unable to sign out or switch to the lobby. This may be a bit too advanced or costly, though, for iScribble.
Commented by DustFinger: Power users can still ban the IPs and/or close the accounts of those who sign out post-scribbling.
Ok, that's pretty handy. But if an account is closed or banned, can it be re-opened a set date afterwards? I heard that someone's account was banned but after a few months was opened again...?

Gotta ask: Why do Chrome and iScribble not get along? In other words, the zoom in and zoom out function works weirdly on Google Chrome, sometimes the pen tool gets pretty much stuck until I tap my tablet pen again, along with the line tool will sometimes get stuck thinking that I'm choosing where to end it, until I tap again.

Is there a way to turn the loading bar off in a board, so that I(anyone else as well) could desktop record a loadup, without the lime green crawling left to right?

It would be nice to see when you are reported, since people report me for no reason sometimes :|

I've noticed that when you use the search function, it only searches for things in the description apparently. would be nice if it searched for titles as well

May i suggest to let the user see that they have been reported?.. Like people in boards get reported mods come in and there like why are the mods here.. cause they dont know they were reported.

Oh i get what obnoxious means. Usually users see there reported and sign out making it hard for Mods to warn... or did you guys fix the problem with warning while offline.

I want the ability to have a pallet. You know, a bunch of colours you could choose from instead of having to sample from previous colours. Thanks, if implemented.

Tyb, sweetheart, can we please be allowed to have layers in Pentool-only boards?

Hello =) I have got a little suggestion. At the moment there is just the opportunity to hide uploaded pictures from people who are not signed in on iscribble. So everyone logged in can see another one's stuff. It would be great to have another option to hide the stuff from anyone except people one the users friendlist and the mods/powerusers. That would give iScribble a bigger sense of privacy and at the same time help to prevent people ignoring copyrights.

Ok so i have a problem with some ex friends, And its not helping when they have like over 10 people all whispering me at once saying that i'm a bitch because i like Justin Bieber. Ive tried everything, Even ignore but more and more people are whispering me. its not helping when there talking about me behind my back to like 20 different people. i'm just sick of it and want it to stop. i don't know what to do please help.
Commented by DustFinger: If you consider them your "ex-friends" and they're really bugging you, then they really shouldn't be worth your time hun. By posting this message on the feedback page and showing them just how mad you are, you're giving them exactly what they want. If you show them that their comments won't affect you the least bit, how can they possibly be satisfied? Please remember this: At the end of the day, they don't pay for the roof you live under or put the food on your table. So why should their words matter to you? - I say, go ahead and like Justin Bieber as much as you want ;) - (btw, in the future please contact a moderator for situations like this. The feedback page is mainly for "Bug-Reports, Feature-Requests and General Feedback".)

oh woops lol sorry didnt know. i miss read D;

cool feature suggestion: the board name in a users '/info' box should be clickable, to make joining friends boards easier. To prevent abuse, this should only be available if you're on that persons friends list. just an idea

Iscribble wont let me sign out...
Commented by Sketchpad: It may be that you're "stuck." There's no fix for this. You'll just have to wait for it to kick you off.

i was in a drawing game and a scribbler went on itand a mod came on and undid them. Somehow i was kicked out, and i got a message "“«(š.E„ò¸À—Ȍ’ß2Æ-ÊZM6˜&Mq% g·ý†6\úý<ÝDÜJG+õeüγP×òGàéMvS‚‚}€ÉéÄӒ-Ù+Ðá Vé€Jä ¡Þ1HŽ;¥4LŠQ„ «-â!*ø0žtŽÂ*Di gÉ#c š‰X\à&ÒÄhÝ6Ò0-6®2÷›V”Á:‘R“ ½€FÎઅ„ÿfáô»ïب­#(Gz…â·.™ ~Á†òZf[¼/u4°•F:‹¦: “«(š.E„ò¸À—Ȍ’ß2Æ-ÊZM6˜&Mq% g·ý†6\úý<ÝDÜJG+õeüγP×òGàéMvS‚‚}€ÉéÄӒ-Ù+Ðá Vé€Jä ¡Þ1HŽ;¥4LŠQ„ «-â!*ø0žtŽÂ*Di gÉ#c š‰X\à&ÒÄhÝ6Ò0-6®2÷›V”Á:‘R“ ½€FÎઅ„ÿfáô»ïب­#(Gz…â·.™ ~Á†òZf[¼/u4°•F:‹¦Æ6’pâ;)±CـHٽ áNÐ(¦éa ¥s”*‰=¸.dÃÒqacú%1A



What does this mean.
Once i had been kicked out there was one public board in green called something similar to that also and it started undefined ago. this is not the first time it happened. and also once i refreshed the public boards to make them appear again i could not talk to anyone i had to log out and back in again to get it back to normal. can someone help me please.

How do you get to be a reg + w?
Commented by Sketchpad: When the administrators feel that too few effective moderators come online, they will ask the Power Users for nominations. Upon receiving the nominations, polls are created, and the Power Users vote on who they believe would make a good +W. No concrete criteria exist for nomination, but common traits are: having been signed up for a long time, having displayed maturity and patience, having a solid understanding of the ToS, and being friends with a moderator. Note: Sucking up to moderators does not mean they will become your friend. And being a friend does not guarantee that you will become a moderator.

is there a command to whisper to all your friends at the same time?
Commented by Sketchpad: Nope.

can there be?

Is there a command to invite/trust your entire friends list for a private/hybrid board?
Commented by Sketchpad: /invite *
Also would it be possible to have another icon color for hybrid private boards for the friends list? just so you'd know its a listed board

And my real question:
Is it permissible to have a hotkey color macro? it won't draw anything, just auto select colors. its so i can make myself a standardized pallette. and justify all the usb control surfaces i have. the macro would be along the lines of <enter> /###### <enter>

Im having a problem with the chatbox on iscribble :X

It is enlarged for some reason, and that happened after i logged in one time.
I dont think it is a problem with my account because i tried signing in as a guest.
And the chatbox is normal when i sign in on my laptop.

I dont know what to do.

like some sort of faving system on iscribble xD idk that would probably take a lot of bandwidth for you or not but it could possibly encourage artists more?

online, that depends on what it's used for.
In Norwegian law, I'm copying/using it for personal purposes, therefore completely legal.
Of course, if you claim it as your own work, it is illegal.

copying pixel per pixel and taking credit for it should be instant ban as it's a crime
Commented by wkter
Date: Wed, Jan 20 2010
Well, the ones I would like at most is only suggestion 1, 2 and 5.
5 does open for abuse, as chailoe says, so perhaps only regular users can do this?
Maybe be even stricter when it comes to abuse of this?
The mods does a great job preventing the vandalism, so it isn't really that needed, but it would be nice be able to kick.
The others are more 'could come in handy'.
I also think it's a very good idea about the changing brush size!
Usually, I only use the smallest but it sure would come in handy.

About the color palette, it should be really easy to implement, and that is the feature I miss at most, besides a 1 pixel tool.

I have a list of suggestions, but before we get to that, I want to point out that right above the text box I wrote this comment it it's written:
"Your comments:
Your comments should be about this drawing only."
Well, that is some heavy pixeling work you've done there! :3

I've used this site for quite some time now, and there are a few things I really would like to see:
1. Single pixel coloring tool; For all the pixel artists here, this will be a very loved tool! You can just file it under the normal brush (Like in Photoshop where the icons here small triangles)
This is probably the most technically advanced suggestion I have..

2. A customizable color palette you can switch to the next color with the press of a button!
When I'm making pixel drawings, I find myself switching back and forth between 2 colors all the time, this is really frustrating.
If we have, lets say a color palette of 2, I can change color without having to use the color picker all the time.

3. Undo/redo button!
It doesn't have to be more than a few undo's (Even only 1 undo would be enough in most cases!)
This is probably also a little challenge to add.

4. Having everyone in the room agreeing on publish..
Often I find myself drawing, and all of a sudden, it's being published. I wasn't finished!
This would also save you a lot of time having to go through the same drawing being published multiple times because someone wasn't finished.

5. Vote Kick.
When you open a users box (Where the username, regular or not etc. is), you should be able to do a vote kick on that person.
This would save all of us a lot of time when it comes to vandalism!
(A kick also gives a 1 minute ban from that room?)
Commented by chailoe: Although that seems like a good idea, in theory, it opens up the possibility for serious abuse. One potential scenario: Imagine you're drawing in a board with one or two friends and suddenly a horde of trolls come in and vote to kick you all out. Boom, your drawing is gone.

6. More layers.
I know, 3 layers works great! We don't really NEED more, but it would be nice to be able to create as many layers as I feel necessarily.
Note the 'create'. That's the key word.
If it's a room with multiple users, there should be a vote started with "xx user wants to add a new layer (Layer x)".
Just make the layer panel a scrollable box!

8. Select and move.
I was making a nice pixel Mario, when I discovered I has put him ONE pixel too far down...
I really wished there was a tool for selecting a a part of the layer, and move that.
I take it back, THIS is the most advanced one...
Commented by chailoe: I don't think this is possible because iScribble is Flash, but if you have suggestions for how it may be possible, you can send your ideas to tyb.

As I am/was a Flash developer myself (I strongly believe iScribble is made in Flash), I do have some ideas on how this can be worked out, though.

Commented by tyb: Adding arbitrarily many layers, selection and moving, undo, perhaps also adding text are nice features, theoretically possible but aren't planned at the moment.
