It would be very useful to have a tool that allowed you to schedule blogs to be published at a certain time and date.  Future Shop is a retail site, so a lot of our publishes are scheduled to go up overnight and we frequently link to blogs for content and other information, which leaves us in a bit of a disadvantage because we can't synchronize the blog content to be published with the website content (or with scheduled tweets).

We also have a team of bloggers who contribute to the Tech Blog who are sometimes bound by NDAs (can't publish information until a certain date) and will have to stay up just to push the post button.  Also, it allows them to always be posting fresh content even if they're away on vacation (right now they save all their articles in draft form and I go in and publish them on the dates they've provided me with).

It would also allow for content to be published on evenings and weekends for those who work during the day only!

thanks!

Our community members have requested this therefore I am passing on their suggestion.

This is a pet peeve of mine and it is a very simple fix. When I click on "reply" to a post on a message board, I often begin typing as soon as the screen comes up. When I look up at the screen, there is nothing written because I have not clicked on the "Body" field on the screen. There is no reason to require users to go through that extra step! If I clicked reply, it kinda means that I want to reply, so why not just have the cursor go automatically to the field where I will type in my reply?

Thanks.

As our community grows we are finding that the Ideas Exchange category is growing very quickly. It would be useful if we could add an additional tab for implemented ideas. Hot Ideas, New Ideas, Top Ideas and Implemented Ideas. This way our users could see what ideas have been put in place, while allowing us to clear up some space in the Ideas Exchange and have better organization

Hey all,

I think it would be great to have the little Rank badge next to a user's name act as a clickable link. You could use this for various diffent reasons - mainly for manually applied ranks (which we use a lot of in our community).

I came up with this idea a while ago and because it's not immediately possible within Lithium I have managed to develep a work-around for our community. Feel free to see how we applied it -

http://community.eu.playstation.com/playstationeu/board/message?board.id=62&message.id=1626211#M1626211

The rank badge has a mouse over and is also click-able!

However, the preference is to have the rank badge remain next to the user's name but that was our sacrifice, as you can see with my work-around it sits UNDER the user's name.

It would be great to see this developed to suit the current setting in Lithium!

Our users would like to keep track of recent messages they have posted that were marked as a solution.  Perhaps this is another bit of information that could be displayed on the user profile page?

ISSUE:

Following the upgrade to version 9, we've have some internal users note that when viewing the forum in "Topic" view (threaded) that all the post replies are shown at the board view.  For long discussions with more than 10 replies or so, this can make the user have to flip through several pages before getting to the next thread.

REQUESTED FUNCTION / IDEA: 

Provide a toggle option in user profile controlling threaded view to expand all or collapse all threads.   At the board view, implement the familiar [+] [-] type widget next to the discussion balloon icon (or maybe the balloon could have the +/- on it ) to allow users to expand / collapse individual threads to see all replies.   This toggle icon would only appear on the board when the user had their profile selected for topic (threaded) view vs linear view.

It would be great to have a link at the bottom of each post that links back to the top of the page. That way users wouldn't have to scroll all the way back to the top of the page of a long thread.

Greetings..

It would be wonderul if we had the ability to sort the audit log by certain attributes.

I'm not finding this as an option in metrics and in the audit log it's just by time/date.

Can I sort by screen name? That would be fantastic.

let's admins quickly go through and find all actions by a certain user.

So, my idea is to have that function available.

Thanks

Right now, the user profile page basically only shows date registered, number of forum posts and number of tags.  It would be great if it would also show number of Ideas posted, Idea comments posted (and probably blog metrics as well, although we don't use them).  I think the number of Kudos given / received could also be displayed as we display it in leaderboards.

We need authenticated RSS feeds.

We want to be able to create a portal on our web site that shows a customer all of their interactions with our company through our various systems, including our home grown CRM, RNT support incidents and Lithium blogs and support forums. We have just begun offering private discussion boards for a sub-set of our customers. We would like to be able to provide a listing of the most recent threads in the private boards on our portal, including threads in the private boards to which they have access. In order to do this Lithium needs to offer authenticated RSS feeds.

After our upgrade to the current version, we lost the "Community Options" menu to the "Community Admin" link.  Our superusers mention often missing the "mark all as read" functionality.  Is there any way to get any of the functions that were in that menu back?
