It's the users who usually come up with the best ideas for a site like this! (July 2012) [closed]

We've built the site with as many features as we could think of to make the site user friendly. But its users like yourselves who will decide what additional features could improve the user experience.

If you have an idea for a feature on this site, just post it here as an answer. The number of votes on your post will tell us how popular your proposed feature is. If the feature is approved by us too, we will then add it to the site.

So put your thinking caps on!

Below are the suggestions that have already been implemented:

The ability to see all the active questions instead of just the last 30! To do this just use the questions tab and choose sort by active.
The ability to edit a comment!
The ability to see which posts you voted on!
The ability to write more then one answer!
There is now an alert system in place for new posts on questions that you asked and comments on posts that you answered.

It is now possible to alert other user by addressing their full username without spaces at the beginning of your comments starting with an @ sign. Example: @yehudahamaccabi

Permalinks have now been added to all posts!

Two suggestions:

1) Gadol Hador had a great idea that there be a way for the questioner to choose the best answer. A lot of question & answer sites have this feature.

2) How about an alert for when someone comments on something you wrote? It's easy to miss people's comments to you without such a feature.

The second request has now been fully implemented!

(It would be useful to be able to undo an up- or down-vote.)

Please allow us to suggest edits to other people's questions and answers, including to the tags on the questions.

Can we have a feature where we can send message to other users?

If you vote to close a question and refresh the page, it doesn't tell you that you already voted.

Many thanks for pointing out this bug. It has now been fixed! -Admin

Allow one to post more than one answer (so one can vote on each idea)

The above has now been implemented, thanks for your help! -Admin

Allow users to see aditional pages fron the "Active" Tab.

This feature has now been added. To see the latest active questions go to the questions tab and from the sort drop down menu choose sort by active! Thanks a lot for your suggestion and keep the feedback coming!

Instead of using custom-made backend software, please switch to an off-the-shelf backend, like OSQA, Question2Answer, Askbot, Shapado, or Stack Exchange. This way, you'll get lots of new features and bug fixes at once. And each time a new major version of the backend is released, you'll get multiple new features and bug fixes just by switching to the new version.

Why don't you just take the rest of the features from www.stackoverflow.com?

Perhaps we could have a feature, where any member could have the option of "opting in" to receive an e-mail whenever a new question is posted/ and or when a new response is posted to any existing question.

In the case of a new question, the text of the question would automatically be forwarded by the system, while in the case of a new comment, the message would be merely that a new comment has been posted in XYZ thread.

Often there is a discussion in the comments that gets lost when the comments are sorted by rating. When there are too many comments to show all of them, the most recent comments sould be shown rather than the top comments.

The user information on your home page is always the person who asked the question! Shouldn't this be the last person who answered as this is the time that you are showing?

This big has now been fixed. Thanks for you help!

Stop showing the number zero next to unvoted comments. If it has votes, tell us; otherwise leave it blank.

This feature has now been implemented!

See which questions/answers you voted on (by the answer, so if I upvoted this answer, I can see that and not try to re-upvote it).

This suggestion has now been implemented. Thank you for your help. -Admin

When one votes on a question, it bumps to the top of the list. This is a bug.

In other words, don't bump questions just because they were voted!

This suggestion has now been implemented! Thanks for your help! -Admin

delete your own answers or questions even if you don't have enough points

see your reputation history (like in SE) - See where you gained points or lost points.

This is just a UI issue. On some tabs the page selctor is at the top of the page and on some it at the bottom. Make it consistant throughout the site.

edit others posts. (To correct his point or to update it)

flag answers/comments

more documentation (what features are available for logged in users)

see edit history of a post

let us see who voted us maybe?
