A suggestion to make it possible to have conversations a person has contributed to (but not started) linked to their profile. In this way, you could check back in on how a dialogue about a topic is unfolding. I find it challenging to find a conversation that I participated in at an earlier time, even when I remember the heading it was under. Spending time on this website is A LOT like surfing. But sometimes I want to check back in on an earlier wave and I suspect this will grow even more difficult as the ocean of ideas continues to grow. Thanks for listening!

I agree. I would like to be able to check back on conversations I've participated in.

These are excellent suggestions and we're actually work on just such a feature. It should be ready in the next 6-8 weeks and we'll be posting on it soon.

This is driving me crazy as well! Also, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the ordering of posts under their category, for instance, it seems like under "Browse ideas" the most recently commented threads would show at the front. Even the "view more" option does not bring up posts in real time chronological order.

I understand this may be done to reduce tit for tat wars; is that the purpose? What is the system of ordering how topics descend from top of page 1 back?

Would it work on both the level of the idea (getting notification if a new response is added to the idea) and on the level of responses (notification if a new comment is added to a response)?
Would it be possible to "subscribe" to an idea and even particular responses even if I haven't posted anything?

Thanks,

Quick Eye and Zeitgeist,

These are both excellent suggestions and we are going to take them into account as we go through our massive renovation. Thank you for your feedback and please keep it coming!
