1. I feel like this is already easy to alleviate with the text mode option. While certainly not the same as you're suggesting, the instances where this is an issue are relatively few and far between and don't necessarily affect everyone the same way so I'm not sure implementing this is entirely necessary and I certainly wouldn't want to force it on people (the pages load just fine for me, for instance). That said, if there's enough demand for something like this, perhaps it's something that can be added in as a preference at some point.
2. This isn't going to work for the same reason direct ties between submitter and forum profiles don't work - they are two separate entities. This was an unfortunate oversight in the way the old system was coded (before I took over) and was too well established for me to change. Additionally, I'd rather not introduce additional ways to play favorites or discourage new users from contributing by setting up some sort of arbitrary barrier they feel they need to meet or exceed.
3. This idea could work if done correctly. It would take a little bit of set up and we'd need to ensure all of the images were exactly the same size but it likely wouldn't be overly difficult with enough community participation. We'd need to keep something generic (Dazz or otherwise) to fill any spot that didn't have an image made for it yet though.
4. This, on the other hand, isn't possible. There may be quite a bit of overlap with section names but not all of them apply everywhere and trying to come up with a full list of standard section names to pre-sort them would not be fun to set up or maintain. The system that creates sections would also need to be significantly overhauled given that, right now, order is calculated and sections are inserted based on the order they're created. To implement this, I'd have to re-calculate the order for every single section change during the submission process.
Suggestions are always welcome though, even if they turn out to be too difficult to implement or deemed unnecessary in the end. We obviously can't think of everything so this thread winds up being one of our most useful!
4. Well, there could be a predefined list of Section name when you create a sheet. This way, the names of the sheets created thereafter will be more coherent with each other, and we wont have situation like : "Pc", "Pc(s)","Pcs","Playable Character","Playable Characters","Playable Character(s)". This would fix 90% of the problem.
Another solution to this would be to give the power to move and rename section to the "trusted" submitters.
