Drop All
Instead of clicking drop and then clicking continue to drop a resource, why don't we just have an option where you can click "drop all" and it drops all of that resource. It may help reduce the amount of click requests on the cantr server.

I'm not talking about dropping EVERYTHING. I'm referring to just dropping everything of a specific resource. Like say a person has cotton, iron, steel, and copper in their inventory. Now let's say the person wants to drop the cotton into a building. Instead of clicking drop, then clicking continue to drop all of the cotton, the person can instead just click drop all.

Yes, JS is completely different in that it comes with every (modern) browser and in fact is already used in several places in the game (the floating char descriptions, the manufacturing tree and the autorefresh functionality).
If it is possible for something like this to be implemented, then I think it would do the game a lot of good.

To be sure, this is the accepted version:
... but I will take your original suggestion into account so that that should also be possible very quickly, with few clicks.

I do not know much on the subject, but the way which seems most logical to me would be to identify certain key characters which are used by each of the language groups - such as specific polish characters - and select and encoding that would display those correctly. And if that fails, I suppose the language group where the note exists or the language of the character who has assigned dynamic names could be used as well.
It couldn't be much worse than it is at the moment - when some characters cannot be displayed by browsers of those from other language groups. I suppose cut your losses and implement a better system before the problem escalates more?

You mean, even if we lose half the notes in the game, take your losses??
I think we can come up with better solutions ... Marol is just saying it is a difficult problem that doesn't have a simple solution - he didn't say it's impossible to solve
