The ability to save the Blog post as Draft should be implemented
Actually when you are writing a blog post that can be lengthy and with images as well the only option to save it is the save button that publishes it immediately.
Should be nice to have a way to save it as ''draft'' and only when you are satisfied with the layout and the content you really publish it.12 votesThis is a pretty good idea. Until we get around to implementing such a feature, you can actually “delete” it (we don’t really delete, just hide). Once you are happy with it you can “Show” it again. Deleted/Hidden content is only viewable by the author and admins, others just see a message that the content is hidden with a reason when available.

Add the ability to format selected text as code in the comment field.
I think it looks cleaner to be able to format text as code on the comments as well. I currently enter a new answer to keep it legible.
16 votesWe will do this, but on the back end, it is a non-trivial change and that is the reason for the delay. Right now comments are plain text so to implement this we’ll need to implement a change to all comments, converting them to HTML.

Add scrolling feature to items that I am following.
I have been "following" questions that I have answered to see if there would be any reply back from the other users. I haven't noticed this until I have started "not following" that only 10 questions are displayed. I'm assuming the same for blogs, and links? I need to be able to clean up questions that I no longer need to follow.

Add contributor of the day/week/month to keep the top contributor's list fresh.
What you will find is that often the same people will stay at the top of lists like this because they joined early on and your competition will go stale. Leave them there, but have a second list of top contributors in the day/week/month to get your secondary contributors going.
2 votesThank you for the suggestion, we do really like the idea of finding more enticing ways to provide top user contributions. By time period as you suggest is one way we could do this. We also like the idea of using topics as verticals so that there are subject-matter experts recognized for their contributions and knowledge.

Remove feedback buttons from site
Remove this feedback option as it really slows down the useability of your website! The initial page loads but you are unable to click on anything whil it is still loading the feedback tab at the side...

Clean the Questions and Blogs
By this I mean it would be nice to see vendor submitted information segregated from the user submitted stuff. Seeing 100 Kace blogs and articles is nice but only when I want to. It makes it difficult to find and sift through what people are asking or posting.
5 votesWe are looking for an intuitive way to provide this capability. One method would be to support the exclusion of certain tags in search results (right now it is inclusive). Would love to hear any ideas members may have for a good way to do this (will likely need to be some method of tag filtering)

Exclude self activity feed
I post alot of stuff and well I don't "not care" about what i've done I feel that activity feeds by myself clog up my activity feed so I can't view other peoples submission. A button to toggle viewing updates by oneself would be an great tool and make the activity feed a worth while place to visit.
1 voteThank you. This was part of our original design but was ultimately not built. It is still on our list to do and we’ll let you know when we’ve started working on it.

When I give feedback, etc
I would like all my submissions that I make when loggged in to be accessible through my profile. Today i submitted a system request through "contact" and it just went into the "ether".
Any "feedback", "contact" requests, "answers" , "share" , etc to please be accessible through my profile
1 voteFor now, you may look to your activity feed but the intention is to make the content counts on the profile page link to search results that will limit the items returned to the relevant data.

Answer does not go at the end.
I just answered a Q and my answer ended up somewhere in the middle of the flow of answers, and not at the end. This makes it difficult to follow the flow of the answers provided and looks like mine is an earlier (dismissed) answer and not the latest one.
1 voteWe are indeed planning to address this. As answers are sorted by rating it is not reliable that your new entry would always appear on the bottom. We intend to provide a success message and highlight the new entry in the near future so this is less confusing. Thank you!

How to remove items from the activity feed
Question: How do I remove stuff from my Activity page that I don't care about any more. One general problem with this new site is that I can't find anything I want in the mass of too many search results or too long lists.
And please be specific in your answer. For example, don't say, "it's in your profile". Say, "after logging in, choose Activity, then the Interests tab, then scroll down and down until you see the heading "Questions, Blogs, and Links Followed". I think I'm doing twice as much scrolling on your site to find anything, as I…
2 votesWe will add a “clear activity” feature, but such does not exist at the moment. You can stop following things and they will stop resulting in updates to your feed, but right now you can’t remove items from the feed.
We are working on a major update to the profile area that will make it easier to manage what you are following.
A good suggestion, thanks!

Bring Back The PM
It would be nice to see a Private Message system added to ITNinja. One very good thing about AppDeploy was the ability to have someone pm you and ask you for help outside of the forum. Or to run something by someone before putting it out there in the worry that you'll look stupid. (Something I've done myself)

Legend shown next to tags indicating meaning of colors (or at least tool tip bubbles)
Colors are nice, indication of what they mean would be helpful.
Filtering of types/colors would be nice.
When user selects a tag, text entered to that point should be replaced by that tag.
Typing more text should always reduce list of tags, sometimes it seems to grow (and rather than or).
Shorter tags should sort ahead of longer ones.3 votes -
Show top contributions from user
On the public user profile pages, I'd like to see top contributions highlighted (sorted by votes). Users should be proud of their contributions to ITNinja and be encouraged to share their profile page to show off their ninja skills.

Ability to invite specific users to answer a question
As opposed to a PM feature, keep my question public but let me invite specific members of the community to come and answer it. This way I can ask specific people questions, but everyone still benefits from the question and answer.

Inclusion of OS Patch Content
I'd like to see the site provide pages for OS patches in the same way software is covered to discuss deployment notes and associate questions, blogs and links.
