Thanks for the feedback. Edit feature will be addressed soon I hope. We will look at eliminating some of those "frills" that we aren't doing effectively

Re:editing and others

On: Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot?

Yes good ideas. The ability to edit posts is a high priority for us. As is unicode support. If we decide to do videos in the future they will be much higher quality than in the past.

Re:Firehose stories on front page

On: Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot?

It's in the main menu next to the Slashdot logo and "Stories" menu item. You have to hover over the word Firehose and then you can choose All or Popular. (This is on desktop)

Re:absolutely nothing

On: Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot?

No https or unicode support?

Re:Firehose stories on front page

On: Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot?

What do you mean it is hard? Do you mean you just google "slashdot firehose" to get to it quickly?

Re:More of the same is NOT enough

On: Slashdot and SourceForge Sold, Now Under New Management (bizx.info)

Well hopefully the coming weeks and months and any changes we enact will work to encourage you rather than discourage you.

Re:The moderationg system needs an overhaul.

On: Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot?

True

Re:You must be new here

On: Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot?

Very interesting idea

Re:Firehose stories on front page

On: Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot?

I think so too. Thanks for the feedback. Anyone else got an opinion on it?

Re:you need better stories

On: Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot?

Well we'd show a few firehose stories by default on the front page, but only if they reached a critical mass of popularity. In this case, they'd hit the front page if there hadn't been a story posted in x amount of time. We'd also make it clear they are different than the regular stories, and perhaps give users the option to hide/show them.

Re:Random list

On: Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot?

Yes great idea
