User blog comment:Dopp/Communicate Easily with Message Wall/@comment-1025281-20110928125701

Feedback on the feature as it is: I also want to know where a link to all those old archived talk pages fits into this. I would want users to be able to easily refer back to older conversations without having to be linked to them or digging them up with search. I don't want people to start saying, "But you never said that!" ;)
 * I think there's too much wastage of space. I'm a bit worried about how much scrolling would be needed to view 20 threads that have some degree of discussion going on in them. Maybe some reduction in whitespace is needed.
 * I'd prefer to be able to easily change how many threads are immediately viewable. I'd hate to be in a situation where a really important thread that I want to refer back to happens to be the 21st thread down.
 * Preview buttom — I think someone must have mentioned this already.
 * The lack of a space at the top where users can post notices for their own "walls" is a serious limitation.
 * Why can't the name displayed be a preference choice between using the user name and the "a.k.a." name? Personally, I don't want to be signed on the forum as "The 888th Avatar", but appear on user talk as "wjxhuang" with "The 888th Avatar" barely noticeable beside it.
