Put a set of Mandatory/Core/Yes/Will Try/No buttons beside the interest list (needs discussion)
Our interest list is a huge tower of stuff, big enough to fill my screen. I find while I'm adding interests on new characters, I'm scrolling up and down between the interests themselves and the buttons for the columns. (Usually: I spot an interest I want to add, know it's not in the current column I'm working with, scroll down, pick that column, scroll back up, and take a few seconds to find where that interest is again.)
Instead could I have a set of buttons for the columns "stick" to the side of my view while I'm looking at the tower of interests, so I don't have to scroll to change the column I'm working with? Or below / above.
Come to think of it, it'd also help make constantly visible exactly what column we're working with right now, while half the time that's out of sight.

Editing profiles and in particular adding interests both have a ways to go towards being ideal. Right now, the current plan is to entirely revamp the profile editor in the same way that the profile creator was, to make it faster and more intuitive, rather than to patch it with more piecemeal improvements. It'll take a bit more development time, but should be worth it in in the long run.
Whether or not the new profile editor has a big list of buttons when adding interests is up in the air, which might make this suggestion null, but until it's out, it's something worth discussing.
The whole flow here is kinda sucky, but a lot of the profile editing decisions were made back when we had significantly less profile options (traits/interests).
The current ideas I have to work with on the subject are making you pick each list for each interest in a more quiz-like manner (instead of presenting you with the actual display of the interests). There's also talk about reducing the load of adding new ones by being more intelligent, like if you pick "bdsm" in "no", then you wouldn't need to categorize any of the other stuff directly related to BDSM into "no".
I don't think the quiz-like method will work for interests. It can make the process of choosing easier, but not faster and it is already easy now. It doesn't need much intuition to sort buttons into five columns. I'd say, this is already the best method. The problem is, there are so many buttons.
Hear hear! I also think "grouping" interests based on type would do wonders, possibly as a dropdown. Like "BDSM-Related" drops down and includes stuff like bondage, spanking, etc.
Basically the people working on this should look at how F-list, Rabbithole and etc do it and go "okay, how do we do the same thing but better/more intelligently"
Floating column indicators would be nice, and wouldn't require TOO much change to that part of the system, but I would like to see some smart listing like WA mentioned:

As an addition to that, I'd like to be able to take one of the direct-relations to a no and be able to move it to another column, for example, here's... let's say Gregory's thoughts on the matter:
I don't like Watersports in a general sense, but Wetting isn't so bad, and might be fun. I just don't want pee on people or drinking it or anything like that.
Gregory would like all Watersports but that one he'd like to try into No, he first adds Wetting to Maybe or Yes.
Hopefully that made sense? If not, blame missing breakfast or owlcats.
If I have BDSM at "No" I assume everyone can guess that I am not into whipping. I would prefer, if I have BDSM under "No", that the different BDSM-kinks are not listed there, to keep the list short.
Got something to say?
