Marking best answers with checkmarks individually
A wee small pony: could best answers in AskMe threads be marked individually with the checkmark icon?
Feed for most favorited posts in past 24 hours?
While the pony rain lasts, can we get a feed for the "Most favorited posts in the past 24 hours" page?
MefiMusic play-list pony
What it be possible for MeFi Music to auto-generate its own play-lists? It'd be really nice to be able to listen to (i) the tracks uploaded on a given day or (ii) every track that's been uploaded; without having to put the hard work in.
Discussion area in MeFi Music?
How about a discussion area in MeFi Music for members to set up collaborations? There's a lot of talent among the members, and I think it would be pretty cool to have the opportunity to collaborate with people across the world.
Music feature request for favorites for playlists
Mefi Music request: I want to be able to fave! (or otherwise link to my profile) playlists created by other people. (to podcasting, I say bah! humbug)
Renaming Music
Why not call Mefi Music "MuFi"? Thoughts?
List of Anonymous questions in the past month.
Little Abigail and the Beautiful Pony: For the "Posts by category in the past month" list on the green, can we include a section for Anonymous questions?
RSS Music Pony
MusicalPony: it would be nice if the RSS feed for Music included the name of the poster.
Music -- give us now our daily playlist
I have a GREAT IDEA for music.meta... and I'm sure that everyone will agree. [more inside]
Pony: front page +fave links
Any chance we can get a +fave link on the front page for each item, especially on the green? (I'm thinking Digg-style, AJAX based would be very pretty, though potentially too Web 2.0 for the likes of some Mefites...)
Will MetaFilter get persistent SSL?
Will MetaFilter get persistent SSL, like Craigslist?
Intra-filter trackbacks
For the big pile of stuff: How about a wikipedia-style "Mefi posts that link to this post" box on the side of each thread (that has been linked back to)? So when someone links back to a post, that old post now links forward to the new thread. Especially useful if you search and find an older thread, and would like also to read the subsequent threads which say "previously discussed on MetaFilter..." Ideally, it would pick up on comments as well as posts that link to a specific thread (not to a specific comment in the thread, though).
Adding tags to another person's AskMe
It would be useful if one could add tags to another person's Ask Metafilter post—it could clarify the content where the original poster has neglected tagging altogether, or where the poster's tags are vague. The user-added tags could be marked as such, and kept separate from the poster's tags. Is this possible? Or would we be afraid of abuse?
Can you let us change our passwords?
Can we please have the ability to change our passwords built into the site? It's an overdue feature, no?
Pasting formatted code into AskMe response?
Is there a way to paste formatted (e.g. indented) code into an AskMe response? If not, could such a feature be added? It would really help out threads like this.
Can you let us retract questions?
Can you put in the ability to retract a question? When you ask something and someone immediately tells you the (incredibly obvious) answer, and you feel like a total dolt for asking it in the first place, can you ask for it to be retracted and have it deleted?
I refer you to this recent thread of mine.

AskMeFi should consider making a separate section for travel/location questions
AskMeFi should consider making a separate section for travel/location questions. Unless I'm going to be in London (Istanbul, Des Moines), I don't have an interest in the question or the answer.
MeFi Messaging
Can i just say I think it'd be great to have a messaging system on Mefi? (Primarily because I've belatedly added what I hope will be a helpful response to an AskMefi post, and I've got no way of alerting the person who asked the question..)
It's been discussed before, but I can't see a definitive ruling..

Best Comment?
How about a 'Best Comment' option on MeFi, similar to the 'Best Answer' option on AskMe? [more inside]
Sorting Popular Favorites
Could the popular favourited posts and comments be listed in chronological order instead of by number of "votes"? As is, it's difficult to single out what's new and fresh -- which would make the whole page much more useful (not that I don't love revisiting the Sketchzilla thread).
Cluttered Profile
It's been a while since I visited my profile page. In doing so, I found it to be far more cluttered and loaded with information than it used to be. Can we get some options to hide some of these things (like top ten tags)?
For example, if I have no contacts, why not just hide any text about it? Why does it have to say that I have no contacts? If I have no projects or favorites, why not just hide that information instead of saying that I don't have any?
And can't that big long "What's the deal with your nickname..." text be shortened to "Personal Info" or something similar?

Please add question titles to AskMe front page
Please add the question title to the front page in AskMe.
Could we have a timed window for editing comments?
How difficult would it be to program an edit function into our comments that allows us to revise our contributions within 1-5 minutes of posting it? I think it'd be a very cool thing to have for us OCD types that apologize after we spell something wrong and immediately correct ourselves in the next comment. Also, it could serve as a conscience (you post something, you regret it immediately, and get rid of it). Note, I'm not asking for unlimited editing. Only the ability to edit within 1-5 minutes of your original post.
Reorder AskMe by answers
What if the most recent posts on AskMe were displayed on the front page according to how many answers they had already received in ascending order, i.e. with those having the fewest answers remaining near the top for longer than they currently do?
Titles on "All Favorites"
On the 'all favorites' page -- can we get the first few lines of the full entries as a title attribute on the link?
AskMe tag bug and pony request
Bug and pony request: example page Bug - this is the list of questions tagged in Ask with publishing. When I get to the bottom of the page it lets me click on "older questions". However, many of the questions on page two are the same ones as those on page one. Feature request - Any way to get the name of the OP to appear on the tags page? Right now it just lists time and date. Thx.
Who favorited me?
It would be nice to be able to tell how many of my own comments or threads have been marked as favorites by other users.
Who's nearby?
Pony Idea: A little house or other such icon when the poster/commenter in a thread is within some range (5,10,20mi/km) of miles from your location.
one enhancement I'd like to see is the ability to search through my comments only
Feature request: onsite search is back, and one enhancement I'd like to see is the ability to search through my comments only. [more]
Add Years to Posting Info
Pony: Year included in the posted by line. With the year a posting was made appearing only once at the top of the page browsing the archives can be confusing. [MI]
For example how about changing the posted by line to:
posted by Mitheral at 7:38 PM MST on 2006/06/04 [+fave] [!]
or:
posted by Mitheral at 2006/06/04 7:38 PM MST [+fave] [!]
Neither of those is longer than the worst case of :
posted by Mitheral at 5:58 AM MST on September 30 [+fave] [!]

reviews.metafilter.com
Can I suggest 'reviews.metafilter.com'? [more inside]
Pony: not-the-best-of-the-web flag
May we have a "not the best of the web" flag?
Contacting the Admins
There seems to be no clear way to contact the administrators for users who are not familiar with the site. Could we add a contact link up in the top nav section, or somewhere obvious?
High turnover on AskMe
I've noticed that AskMefi has a high turnover rate these days, and some questions don't get answered because they age too quickly.
Suggestion: how bout we have two columns of questions instead of one? So that older questions show up next to the newest one - and have a longer life?

Can I killfile someone?
How can I filter out responses from a particular user on Metafilter? Will it work on Mozilla 1.7.x or must I use Firefox? [more inside]
Feature Request: All Posts by User Tagged Soandso
Pony: All posts by user suchandsuch tagged soandso? As it is, on a user's posting page, there's a list of frequently-used tags, but if you follow the links, you get all posts so tagged, when what you might expect (and even, in some cases, want) is just that user's posts so tagged.
Could we get a spoiler tag?
Could we get a <spoiler> tag?
Freezing the Masthead
As I scroll through a page I would prefer to have the masthead, with its useful navigation links, stay in place at the top of my screen. Is there any way I can make this happen?
Pony: new posts to MeFi/subsites since last visit?
Lookin for a pony: Could there be a "new" page which only shows new posts to blue/green/grey since your last visit?
anonymous comments for $1 a shot
Less of a feature request, more of a mega cash-cow idea for Matt: The ability to make anonymous comments for $1 a shot.
Things to add to the favorite pages
On the favorites page, could we show what user created the comment/post?
Could we add tags to the favorites page?
Could we add tags to the favorites page?
Link to contacts' favorites?
My Favorites Pony - Love the favorites. How about adding into the contacts section a "jump to contacts' favorites" link?
'All' tags on AskMetafilter
A couple of days back, I saw a page that listed 'all' tags ever used on Ask.MetaFilter. Clicking the tags didn't take me anywhere (they weren't linked, I think) but the page did exist. Is it still available and will the tags be linked anytime soon ?
Request: a way to mark our questions as resolved.
I'd love to see a "conclusion" feature to many of the askme questions. For instance, even if it's months later, I could go into a question I asked and mark it "concluded" and give a quick summary of what happened when I followed the advice.
Once someone marks something "concluded" it would go to its own "conclusions" RSS feed, which we could subscribe to if we want to know "the rest of the story" on many of the questions asked.

Previous and Next Pony
Pony: when browsing the archives of ask.me the navigation for pages says next page and previous page. Could it be changed to older posts and newer posts? Also the color of links in "best answers" is the same as the answer.
Pony: Title guidelines on the 'Post a New Question' page
Why not explain on the AskMe "Post a New Question" page that the Headline/Title will *not* show up on the main page? I have seen lots of questions in the past where the Headline/Title contains the question and the question text lacks context and looks odd on its own. Example. I think a few clarifying words about how visitors will not see the Headline/Title when browsing AskMe's main pages will help people word their questions more appropriately.
Pony request: Highlight best answers and original questioner
I would love to see a feature on AskMeFi that similar to the way best answers become highlighted, so does the person who asked the questions subsequent comments. Maybe highlighted in a different color? This would be helpful because I often find myself looking for the posters subsequent comments on whether they want to refine what their question was and so on.
Commenting on Deleted Threads
PieInTheSky Feature Request: The ability to add comments to deleted threads. Please? Think of all the fun we could have!
New Flag Request
Pony request, in light of this thread -- flagging options include "noise", "derail" or "doesn't follow the guidlines" but it seems to me AskMe requires another option, kind of an opposite to "fantastic post" -- how about adding "Doesn't answer the question"?
But that would require AskMe specific flags, which might be difficult or impossible. Instead, how about an "Irrelevant" flag?

New Comments
Would it be possible to show how many comments have been made on a thread since the last time you clicked on the thread, not since the last time you loaded the page?
