I continue to have a problem finding new material since my last visit. I need an rss feed or a link following login which shows that activity so I can better contribute.

/edit: I can see RSS now on topics, but I would like to see a global RRS feed so that I pick up on new topics and don't have to search manually. In my profile I have all notifications selected for as they happen but new stuff is not notified, mainly new topics and answers to new topics that I haven't commented on. [show less]

Invitations to the feedback say to use any MW shell/ftp username and password and it will already know you. But if you've never logged into the feedback system before and get into the "Feedback Forgot Password," it says that it never heard of you.

I don't see how you change change your Feedback password to make it different than your MW hosting password, which makes it seem like hosting and feedback share an authentication system. But when feedback tells me it never heard of my MW hosting username, it makes it hard to sign in for the first time. [show less]

I keep hitting the "get image" button by accident, when what I really intend to do is browse for an image on my desktop.

I keep hitting the "get image" button by accident, when what I really intend to do is browse for an image on my desktop. But there's no way to cancel the "get image" action; the page just hangs and hangs. And clicking the "Nevermind" link erases the entire answer. This could also perhaps be resolved with better usability. For example, why does the page "do" anything if I've not entered a URL in the "get image" field before hitting the "get image" button? It should return a "you must enter a url first" error. [show less]

If you extend the profile to capture all the languages spoken by each member of the community and then flag posts that need translation to members able able and willing to provide manual translation then the results will be significantly more accurate.

All community members would be shown posts in their preferred language order, with the language of the initial post being the default if no preferred language was available. Those translating would have the added ability to do just that for each language they could handle.

For each post that is not in each members primary language there would be a means making a translation request. Priorities for each language of each post would be determined by aggregating all languages spoken by each of the requesters and sorting them to ensure popular language requests take priority.

Flags with priority markers would be visible until a translation took place but only to those who have that language in their profile. Erroneous translations could be reportable and translation rights revoked if necessary.

Ideally this should be embedded in a way that allows requests and translations to occur during normal use, though consideration should also be given to separate interface to manage all translations.

This would be challenging to implement and a real test of community. [show less]
