How can we make the UserVoice platform better?
-
make it possible to "watch" suggestions
I would like to be able to "star" certain suggestions that I want to remember (if I have no more votes but want to keep tabs on interesting suggestions).

This feature is something we’re actively investigating and trying to shape to fit your needs. If you haven’t left a comment, please do: context for why you need this feature and how you’d use it is key to making it rock!

Allow users to edit their own ideas and comments
As long as no one has voted/commented on my newly-created suggestion yet, I should be able to...
(1) change the title/description without restriction... if, say, 5 minutes later I think of a better one or spot a typo in it or whatever...
(2) completely delete it, no questions asked, if, say, I realize right after posting it that it was lame, or I find out it's a duplicate or whatever...

Users should be able to delete an idea they create before it gets any activity. We’re also considering allowing users to edit their own content within 15 minutes.

Allow me to see my activity for all UserVoice-powered sites
So I'm using this site for giving feedback to a bunch of different sites (stackoverflow, uservoice itself, and maybe a few others).
It would be nice if clicking on my profile link (as me, I hasten to add) would show me a list of all those uservoice instances so I can swap between them, or see all of the issues I've voted on, or just generally allow me to hop from one to the other.
I mean, there's single-sign-on, right? It certainly _sounds_ like this thing is multi-tenanted, and I think it would be nice for cross-over to happen...

More control over avatars
When a new user signs up, pull their avatar from either the 3rd-part profile they sign up with (already done), or with Gravatar (already done), but then allow the user to update their avatar however they like.

Automatically translate ideas/comments
It's a lack when you change the site languange but UV remain in the original language that they were written. It's ok, but I would prefer one of those two options:
1. Have the opcion of automatic translation. Something like google translation for each idea.
2. Be able to setup multilingual ideas sites. This is, if I changed language point to the appropiated language page:Spanish -> es.mydomain.com
Engllish -> en.mydomain.com
German -> de.mydomain.comSo I manage a unique language and different uv on each language.ç
I prefer 1st option

Add iPad compatibility
1 - It is currently impossible to use admin panel in iPad - editing does not work
2 - the site widget is invisible after scrolling down15 votes -
Put a "Suggest Edits" button (like Quora has) next to suggestions.
Sometimes a good suggestion will have a misspelling that would I like to suggest an edit for, like you can on Quora.

This is something we’re reviewing as part of a more robust improvement to our Access Denied page.
Admins can already customize their Access Denied page for each private forum, but there may be any number of reasons a user doesn’t have access (e.g., not signed in, not confirmed, SSO prevented, not on the right IP address) – we’re looking into how to provide the right messaging under any of these conditions.

Let me use Gravatar even if i login with Facebook
Right now i use Facebook to authenticate with UserVoice and it uses my Facebook avatar throughout the interface, which i do not want. It keeps talking about Gravatar, which i've set up and use on many sites, but Uservoice completely ignores that.
So please, let me use my Gravatar even when i'm logged in with Facebook.

Weekly leaderboard reports
In the last update you removed the weekly leadership reports. We would like you bring that item back. We offer incentives to our staff based on this input and to have it disappear creates issues for our incentive program. It's also a great way for staff to check on their progress each week.

threaded comments
Would love to have threaded comments so users can reply specifically to a comment already posted - then that conversation becomes a branch you can expand or close depending on your interest.

Use http://translate.uservoice.com/ for external sites as crowdsourcing translation service
Is there any way that you offer your own service, done at http://translate.uservoice.com/ for external sites. As a kind of extension to the helpdesk/feedback-feature. That would be a great crowdsourcing-frature and addition to Uservoice.

General Customer Satisfaction 1 to 10 Rating. (Net Promoter)
So for start-ups the ultimate question of product quality is:
"How likely is it that you would recommend us to a friend or colleague?" (On a Scale of 1-10)
This is the ultimate rating. I think have this type of capability in UserVoice would make it perfect. (A way to judge the general mood of the user base)

Display the date the suggestion was added to all users.
This was submitted by a user of IGN's UserVoice forums:
I'm trying to search through tickets and can't tell how old these tickets are unless there's a comment that says "6 months ago" or similar. It would be helpful to know if a ticket is really old, given how MyIGN gets incremental code updates.

Allow for user profile details such as company name, relationship, etc.
I'd love to build something of a community around uservoice for our users, and to help that goal it would be great if user profiles had a bit more detail e.g.
- company name
- relationship (customer, employee, etc.)
- website URLThis would be optional, of course, but would go a long way is allowing users to see who is joining the discussion. You don't have to go far to see some good examples of how to implement this :)
Thanks for listening!

fix the suggest/search bar to require all words
When attempting to search for currently created ideas before adding my own; I like to do a search to verify that the idea hasn't already been created.
However I doesn't exclude all the words I use.
For example, if I use the words FIX and SEARCH, the results will show for SEARCH and FIX, but not suggestions that have both. This can be annoying when looking for something specific.3 votes -
I would like to be able to post my question if I can't find anything in the search results
As a user I would like to post an idea after I have used the search and haven't been able to find anything. I makes me otherwise go to a forum and then post an idea.

Allow Users to remove Ideas from the 'My ideas' category
It would be nice to be able to Remove any Idea from the 'My ideas' category if the Idea is of no further interest to the User.
This would unclutter the 'My ideas' category and make it easier for the User to see the Ideas that are of interest to them.
Thanks in advance
Kevin
