Hi Todd,

Just spotted this idea and was wondering if there was any progress with it?

I would be interested in having a larger screecap in my RSS feed from Ma.Gnolia.

overhacked started following the idea "Improve in-site display of description text formating" in Ma.gnolia.

These are excellent ideas, and I'm happy to say that within a few weeks we'll be able to satisfy most of them, if not all.

Thanks for posting this! We've had requests for better text formatting support in bookmark descriptions, and will bring a unified range of formatting options to bookmarks as well as group, profile and discussion text when we work out the best options to offer. Our main reason for hesitating or taking a careful approach is that we don't want to accept formatting that could break or otherwise make pages on Ma.gnolia hard to read. Once we get the details worked out, we should be able to put this in place.

Improve in-site display of description text formating

When writing bookmark descriptions, all text formatting is ignored when displayed within Ma.gnolia.

While formatting is correct when the posts are exported via posting tools, the local display ends up as one huge chunk of text. Supporting line breaks alone would be a big improvement. Supporting bold, italic, underline, and especially block quotes would be even better.

Improve Bookmark Screenshot tool

Ma.gnolia's screenshot/cap feature is a welcome visual element, however the shots grabbed often fail to adequately represent the page bookmarked.

Whatever scraper is used to gather the screencap, it would be nice to offer the user 2-4 image options from which to select, so only the most representative is displayed.

Moreover, the fixed size of the screenshot is too small. Although bandwidth costs are of course an issue, Offering S, M, and L options - for both local display within Ma.gnolia and externally via posting tools - would dramatically improve the value of this feature.
