Site Fixes

Hi there,

Some of you may have noticed that you are unable to share a new idea on the site at the moment. We are working on this glitch. Other functions on the site are operational. Feel free to browse the site, vote and comment on already posted ideas. We hope to have this problem fixed shortly.

THANKS for fixing the site, way to go IT dept! We all missed sharing our ideas & comments. We missed each other.

My husband is the IT director for our local 911 system so I know how much work goes into maintaining a system like this.

Thanks again IT folks!

Given the events of this weekend (which I assume will get cleaned up tomorrow), it sure proves that this site needs a lot more moderator hours than what it is getting from the MSI team. Hire more people!

I never realized that this site was left to it's own accord. I'm really shocked. Given the amount of undesirable threads and comments this weekend and the reputation that $tarbucks should uphold, IMHO this site should be scanned/moderated at least most of the time. My God $tarbucks, another blunder!

Thanks again Matt! I appreciate your swift response! Now, let me ask; Why does Matt have to do "all the work". LOL :)

It would be nice if the threads were organized. It seems counter-productive to be voting several times on the same topic. For example, the gluten free requests are posted many many times, so the same votes are being distributed all over the place, making the end results inaccurate.

@LaChica, We agree with you. We would love people to vote and comment on the existing idea posted rather than posting a new one. We have a couple of site features to help out: 1) when an idea is posted a prompt shows the already existing ideas and suggests the poster to comment or vote on one of those instead and 2) The moderators of the site can merge ideas to help get a more accurate vote count. When an idea is merged if someone has voted on two or more of the merged ideas it only counts one vote and not two or more.
