This is an ongoing process for us; our “Hot” algorithm gets updated from time to time.

If you prefer that your users see hot ideas by default, you can change the default tab in your forum settings.

We’re going to add the concept of complimenting certain actions (like implementing an idea) but I can’t see us devoting a whole section of UI for this as it doesn’t seem to be used very often in other tools that we’ve seen.

This is available now. For more information please read our blog post http://bit.ly/aw6rMb and/or log into your admin console.

Today we launched a brand-new, fully interactive widget for all UserVoice Feedback customers. Your users can search ideas, vote for ideas, and submit ideas all from this widget. Additionally, you have the ability to customize many elements of the new widget, from color to text to location.

Thanks for your patience in regards to the launch of the interactive widget…we heard your feedback and spent a lot of time doing this right, and we know it’s been awhile. We can’t wait to hear what you think of the new widget (good and bad). We think you’ll like it. :)
