Personal Activity Summary
Submitted By: machee ( 244 days, 15 hours, 14 minutes ago )
I'd like to be able to go to my profile section and have it list links to all the questions I've answered (so I can see how well my answer is doing but also to read the other answers to that question), to see a list of links of the questions that I've asked, and a list of links to comments I've made.
Submitted By: toekneebullard
This is a must.

Would be nice...

Notification for Comments
Submitted By: DrummerGirl ( 244 days, 18 hours, 18 minutes ago )
Email notification when someone comments on one of your answers. Not an email for each comment, but probably a daily summary of all comments left on any of your answers.
Submitted By: I wish I knew
I agree, but it should be user selectable whether they want it in an email or not.
Submitted By: right.h.man

i'd like to see it highly customizable so i can get notified about new votes, comments or anything i want really.

for instance: i'd like to be able to setup a notification that'll tell me when question with certain keywords is posted.

Add RSS Feeds
Submitted By: Raptor235 ( 254 days, 4 hours, 59 minutes ago )
Add rss feeds for all categories.
Submitted By: RandomSkratch
At the rate of crap coming into this site, I might suggest waiting a bit for things to calm down before any RSS feeds are sent out.
Submitted By: right.h.man
RSS feeds for questions would be nice too.
Submitted By: RavenLemon
It would be great to vote on comments, like in Digg, so i would be able to rate down RandomSkratch comment. I want some feed!

Add Image Support
Submitted By: Raptor235 ( 255 days, 1 hour, 55 minutes ago )
Being able to upload images for answers / questions. Any further suggestions please add comments to all the features.
Submitted By: kzeal
Word!
Submitted By: frickindeal
Disagreed. Open to abuse, spam, bandwidth issues, etc. If this site is inspired by digg, ask yourself if you've ever seen an image in a digg comment.
Submitted By: Mace
Agreed with frickin'... get your own hosting and link it up.. people don't need to be trouncing a good site's bandwidth (when it already gets so much traffic that being like 90% text does several GB/day).

editing
Submitted By: besouza ( 244 days, 15 hours, 41 minutes ago )
I would like to see editable questions, answers, and comments.
Submitted By: Janus_117
I would definitely like to see edits first, then daily email summaries, then eh spel chequer.
Submitted By: I wish I knew
Editing would be helpful, but for proper disclosure of history, the fact the comment/answer has been edited should always appear IMO.
Submitted By: natmaster
For one post, somehow my entire message wasn't recorded. I don't know if this was a bug or something I accidently did, but there was nothing I could do to fix it.

Removal of Duplicate Questions
Submitted By: Sean ( 243 days, 22 hours, 19 minutes ago )
I'm sure this will be a problem in the future, perhaps when you submit a question it should run a search and give you results before it is posted!
Submitted By: manchld
very good idea. but hard to find exact matches with questions. it would just pop up with questions and answers using the same keywords, similar to what digg does.
Submitted By: RandomSkratch
Or maybe a simple "This is a dupe" button underneath the Add Pick and Add Comment buttons.  Once enough "dupes" are chosed for a question, it gets removed.
Submitted By: right.h.man

note: crap. i accidentally hit REPORT for this :S  sorry

 but yes, when posting a question it could do a quick check to make sure none others have the EXACT or similar titles.

moderators could clean out dupes by hand.

Spell Cheker
Submitted By: Anonymous.Lion ( 244 days, 13 hours, 47 minutes ago )
oops, I mean Spell Checker
Submitted By: manchld
weird bug right here. this spell cheker answer had a "Show More Comments(4)" link, even though it didn't have any comments yet. When I clicked on it the answer above it (entitled "editing") was affected.
Submitted By: manchld
well its gone now. But yeah, spell check is nice, but I dont think for most people its necessary. It depends on the attitude of the site though. Like on Slashdot, and a little less so on digg, people are ridiculed for misspelling. I dont think its a big deal personally.
Submitted By: right.h.man
i wouldn't mind having this on by default either. people could just uncheck it but it would really help with some people who do not check their posts.

"Hot" questions link
Submitted By: cable22 ( 244 days, 3 hours, 46 minutes ago )
I would like to see a link to the Hot questions to see what everyone is talking about.
Submitted By: manchld
Or a question of the day that's particularly interesting. That would be good for an RSS feed too.
Submitted By: dpellerin
Totally Agree on that one!
Submitted By: manchld
looks like this one is now a feature of the site

Avatars - little pictures would be cute, like
Submitted By: derphilipp ( 243 days, 6 hours, 36 minutes ago )
Little icons so the users get recognized would be cute and somehow nice (although not very important)
Submitted By: J-mo
i defintely agree with this idea...maybe even a ranking system?? it would be like digg mixed with a forum...and digrum?
Submitted By: I wish I knew
I've never liked personal icons - gimmicky and easily abused, and also slows things down. That's one of the reason I like this site now.

Graded, catagorical ratings...
Submitted By: I wish I knew ( 243 days, 15 hours, 32 minutes ago )
A graded answer system 0-5 in serveral catagories at once. For example Funny=2, Insight=4, Agree=3, Flamebait=1, Spam=2. This way a use sort can be made to seek out best insights, humor, most agreed upon, or to mod down spam and flamebait. Eliminating a seperate report as spam option... I also don't think you should be able to mod yourself on insight, flamebait, agree or spam in above example. Though you should be able to rate how funny it was to you to let some know it's meant to be lighthearted without typing it in comments crudely.

Support for paragraphs and semicolons
Submitted By: Vijchti ( 243 days, 18 hours, 41 minutes ago )
Paragraphs and semicolons don't seem to show up. There are probably other characters that don't work, but I haven't seen them yet.
Submitted By: Anonymous.Lion
Plus character doesn't show up.
Submitted By: manchld

many people have been complaining that certain characters would cut off everything in their post after a certain point. I'm going to test this...should be the whole alphabet

a:b/c!d<e>f~g`h@i#j$k%l^m&n*o&p(q)r_s-t u=v|w}x]y"z'/\,.

Submitted By: manchld

looks like at the moment only the plus isn't working

Preview
Submitted By: Anonymous.Lion ( 244 days, 12 hours, 42 minutes ago )
It would be nice to, at the least, be able to preview your question/answer/comment.
Submitted By: owl
and, on top of that, see the formatting you put into your comment maintained, e.g., paragraphs etc.
Submitted By: Anonymous.Lion
And to see if any characters are stripped out. (I've noticed a bit of that going on, but without preview or edit capabilities, I can't fix it when I see it.)

A safe captcha method
Submitted By: tendr ( 243 days, 23 hours, 45 minutes ago )
your captcha is a joke for every spammer with a little bit of java/html/scripting knowledge. you have only 6 possible choices and the picture doesn't change after a faulty input. the spammer just has to try all 6 answers and can eventually even learn the right answer from the probably low diversity of pictures. you should work on that, else this page will be spammed by poker/viagra/cialis spam etc :().
Submitted By: manchld
would it be useable if the picture changed if you guessed wrong?
Submitted By: Raptor235
this will be coming soon

More Pages at bottom
Submitted By: RandomSkratch ( 244 days, 4 hours, 26 minutes ago )
The More pages link buttons located at the top should be mirrored at the bottom for convenience.
Submitted By: frickindeal
Absolutely.  Common usage would be:  scroll down the page until you get to the last question, the click the next page (at the bottom).  Currently, you have to scroll all the way back up to click it.  Not sensical.

The ability to merge answers
Submitted By: cosmotic ( 243 days, 20 hours, 53 minutes ago )
So many of the existing questions have duplicate answers. If some one already answered with the same answer you had, you should have picked theirs, not added a new answer. For those who are incapable of independent thought (ie they are stupid) we need the ability to merge answers.
