Window Expansion Bug
I was expanding a text window, and when it goes over the comments the text from the window and that of the comments combine making it impossible to read the text where there is an overlap. So far everything else as worked like a charm.

Add an Inactive Category for Cast
Our longtime game has had some retired characters but some people drift off for for long periods. I don't want to retire them without their request but would like to sideline them so they aren't cluttering the active list of cast members. It could also move them out of the activity summary.

Is there a way to edit or delete a comment?
Sometimes, after I put in a comment, I realize the comment was either unnecessary or unclear. I would like to be able to either revise or delete it. Is there a way to do that?

Allow players and narrators to add tags to moves
It can be difficult to keep track of everything that's happened in a longer running game. One solution might be to create a game "wiki" or reference document, but that takes sustained effort and extra time to keep up to date.
A simpler solution might be to add a place where participants can quickly jot down a few tags as they write, such as characters & NPCs involved, challenges addressed, or whatever else they might feel is relevant. Then, later on, if anyone needs to reference something that character did, they could search the tag and pull up all posts…

Optimize site for mobile - meta viewport tag NEEDED
Please include a meta viewport tag in your site at the very least. It seems like you use angular, and I'm sure there are useful plugins to make transition to mobile easier (such as http://mobileangularui.com/). Most people nowadays use mobile, tablet, and touch devices, and website design has now switched to a mobile-first approach. I think the loads of new game features and content can wait and that you guys should focus on a mobile design foremost. I myself am a web designer focusing on mobile-first approaches and have even looked into angular. I will be happy to help…

Have separate sections for Narrator and Player Play Preferences
The addition of play preferences to profiles is great, but it would be more useful we could separate "how we run games as narrators" from "what games we're willing to play."
For example, as a narrator I pretty much always run as a single narrator with custom house rules and a flexible collaboration style. On the other hand, as a player, I'm completely to open to trying games with rotating narrators, or that emphasize character and plot over gameplay (or vice versa), and with various collaboration styles.
So I'd like to have the option to say "This is how I…

Allow for the public saving and distribution of custom Storium "worlds"
Rather than making your own each time, I think it'd be neat to have a database running of unique worlds make with all their cards written and images uploaded made by members of the community. This could allow new users to see how other narrators work within the system to make the game function according to their tastes. Plus, people could comment suggestions and/or praise concerning the world that someone else made and then ultimately use the ones they love themselves.
3 votesThanks for the feedback! That’s totally the plan, once we launch publicly.

Stop using x/x/x time formatting for dates
The x/x/x thing is unhelpful if you don't know the formatting, as there's no real way to tell whether it means day/month/year or month/day/year.
I would rather it just say 12th September 2015 for example, rather than 09/12/15 and have that confuse everyone.

Rename "vacation mode" to something clearer
The new vacation mode bugs me because vacation isn't a word here in the UK and it doesn't apply to every away situation.
Renaming it to something such as Active mode would make much more sense.

Emoji Reactions?
I've been using Slack and for each message, anyone can post a little "reaction" (in the form of an emoji). I'm not sure it completely fits, but I think something like it might work well for Storium-- so if someone posts a passage that others think is cool/great/thumbs-up/OMG, etc., they can sort of make their feelings known. In case you're not already familiar with Slack, there's a link that describes the Reactions specifically here: https://slack.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/206870317-Emoji-reactions
Keep up the awesome, amazing work, guys! We're loving the game. :)1 vote -
Expand Character Details
It would be nice if there were more fields for character attributes, like age or backstory, that could be used to flesh out a character, maybe even a way to post one-shot side stories about each character.

Links to other characters from one's character page
When browsing through the characters of a story, clicking back and forth to read the next character is rather annoying and unneeded, especially when you're trying to relate two characters backstories and figure out potential relationships.

Remove former players from the Green Room
When a player leaves a game, it often isn't under amicable circumstances. Allowing former players continued access to the Green Room seems like a very obvious oversight. Please limit the Green Room only to active players.

Auto-Save for Story Descriptions and Character Bios
Auto-Save for Story Descriptions and Character Bios.
Seriously... why isn't this already a feature?
I can't tell you how many times I've had to start from scratch because I switch to a different tab to take care of something for a moment... just to switch back to the one I had open for Storium... click on the wrong part of the screen, and have all of the work I'd put into it for anywhere from thirty minutes to two hours just disappear because of that.
Its REALLY annoying and makes me not want to even bother sometimes. This REALLY needs…

Allow stories that don't use the card mechanics
I frequently play games that would benefit from Storium's scene and move support, but they already have their own mechanics.
It would of course be possible to have the players GM ignore Storium mechanics except as necessary to manage scenes, but it would be nice to not have to bother.

Ability to view 'X most recent moves' of a specific player
It'd be useful to have an option from a person's profile to view 'X most recent moves' (5, 10, variable) in order to get a sense of how that person writes and how frequently they make moves. Yes, we could just add them as a favorite and try to sift through our overall list for what the specific person has done, but this is time-consuming and imperfect.
This function could probably be linked in with plans for an upcoming search function (basically a one-button 'search for moves by this player' tool).

Please make it more mobile friendly!
I check my games on my Android phone and sometimes the text is too small to read on my screen, but there is no way to make the text larger and it won't rotate sho I can try to make out bigger that way. Needles to say, it makes it very difficult to tap on links in the drop-down menu. Please fix!
Thanks!

Narrator Autopost function
In some games, like the one I am running now, would benefit greatly from a narrator being able to have posts ready in advance when challenges are completed.
For example - The challenge is: "there's a closed door - do you open it?" The moment the players complete that challenge the result (aka what is behind the door) is automatically posted regardless of whether the narrator is around or not.

Authorize the Developers to Delete dead games (those that have been inactive for almost a year, but the narrator didn't bother to Suspend.
I have several games on my Profile that I retired from because the narrators went missing, or got so involved in creating new games that they abandoned their existing games (and their players.) A couple of these games haven't even been Suspended by the narrators, and while it won't make my profile look MUCH prettier, at least I'd have the satisfaction of not having games that have had no activity for over 6 months (closer to 10 months!) "count against me" when narrators (or anyone else) is reviewing my profile and sees that I've retired from over a dozen games.…

Pressing Enter
In private messaging, wish we had the option of pressing enter to send the message, as opposed to hitting the "send" button.
