When I login to the site using either an openid or just email + password, I am never sent the verification email so I cannot use the site.

Allow members to change their avatars [updated]

2011-08-26T00:05:30-07:00

I can't seem to find a way to change/add an avatar. If this is not an existing feature, it should be.

Ktash said:

You can change your avatar through gravatar.com, using the email that you signed up for doctype with.

HTML on profile page is broken [updated]

2011-08-15T19:20:39-07:00

The HTML code is broken on the user profile page. <div class="profile" does not have an ending > which makes it break in some browsers, like Opera.

Front Page layout - MORE!

2011-07-15T12:48:54-07:00

Eric F suggested:
I recently stumbled upon your site, and I think it's a great resource for people (like myself) in the web design/development field. However, my first impression (based on the homepage) was that it was very new, or not very popular, since there's nothing to indicate much activity beyond "Here are some recent questions" (especially since a most of the feed items were answers to the same couple questions). I was thinking the front page could definitely be filled out more, and more deftly indicate the content rich site behind the rather underwhelming front page. Maybe it's grouping responses from the same question into one item within the feed, so you more easily get the idea that there are MANY MANY questions in there, since there would then be room for more questions to display in the feed, and thus, a proper impression of the sizable nature of the site's content base. Also, maybe displaying recent and/or popular tags somehow? (I won't use the "c" word) but something to give yet another visual hint as to the wealth of knowledge available within the site! I will definitely be checking up on (and hopefully contributing to) this site as time goes on, and I hope this, being my first contribution, will be a helpful one!

Comment form able to handle multiple submits without needing reload

2011-07-08T17:30:59-07:00

Ktash suggested:
Right now there is a bug where the add a comment form gets 'disabled' after submitting a comment when the button switches to 'Saving'. After it is saved, the button doesn't not re-enable and change back to 'Add comment' and instead requires a reload to be fixed.

Make emails on accounts optional [is now none]

2011-06-17T12:46:20-07:00

Trying to create an account, but am always seeing this as the reason: * Email is too short (minimum is 6 characters) * Email should look like an email address. But the email address has 19 chars in total. 9 for the name, the rest at gmail.com Hoping that if emails were optional on signup, would have been able to create an account when OpenID support was blog-nounced.

Sorry for the confusion. This was fixed two years ago. The bug here is marked as 'completed'. I'll remove it entirely for clarity.

Give more feedback on Doctype development

2011-04-14T08:46:14-07:00

Ktash suggested:
I've been using Doctype for a while now, and I find that I have seen no changes on doctype, nor any development of any sort on any of these features listed in meta. I feel it would be helpful if we knew if any development or improvements were being made. And if none of these changes are being made, maybe open up the source and let people contribute and work on some of these features (but that may be a separate meta idea).

Allow editing comments [updated]

make doctype more like the other sites, stackoverflow etc. [updated]

While ambiguous, I think it has tremendous merit. The SO engine is honestly better in many ways (some of them less tangible than others).

Provide a way to edit/overwrite/delete Resources

2010-10-11T12:40:19-07:00

Leslie suggested:
When you submit a question, you can attach Resources (such as screenshots or CSS), but there's no way to edit/overwrite/delete them after the question's been asked.

Resource thumbnail, wait for entire page load

2010-08-23T16:16:53-07:00

qcom suggested:
Hey, I would suggest waiting until the entire resource link provided loads, before including the thumbnail, because for sites like mine that take a little long to load, sometimes it's not an accurate representation.

Stay logged in between browser sessions [updated]

I'd rather not have to log in every time I visit the site.

Still open. I use Yahoo as OpenId provider and Opera for browsing. Have to log in continuously.

Change color from light orange [updated]

2010-07-30T16:04:14-07:00

There's isn't enough contrast between the light orange and white background color. The text is not easy to read.

Robert Pate said:

yea i can't stand the index page for this site because of this. I'd also rather see more questions and not activity as is traditional with the stack overflow model, but i'm sure that's another suggestion in here somewhere.
easy work around though: I just bookmarked /questions. But it's important to consider first impressions on new users.

accept OpenID logins. [updated]

2010-07-29T14:50:02-07:00

I won't use the site until you do -- stackoverflow and serverfault has spoiled me!

Remove the activity feed from the front page

Is the activity for this site really that low that a feed of the activity on the site is going to be useful?

"Send-to [custom]" alerts when my question is updated

There should be a wide array of notification options. Someone suggested Twitter, which is good. SMS is another good one. Instant Messaging. The list goes on and on. If you think of any others, make note of them in the comments below.

Make feeds out of everything [updated]

2010-06-06T13:15:51-07:00

A specific users questions and answers, keyword filtered feeds, and comments (all comments by a user/you or question). I wan't to spread the word, and everything social should be possible to aggregate.

Create a formal means of removing a wrong answer

2010-06-06T13:13:29-07:00

trench suggested:
I just answered a question and realized, after testing and posting it, that I am wrong. Rather than delete the answer or comment that the answer is wrong, there should be some formal means by the author to strike it out. A visual way of saying "My bad" but clearly affecting the answer-text so the person that asked the question knows, immediately upon arrival, that it's not an answer even worth trying. I know the idea is to typically discourage blatant (or even hasty) wrong answers in the first place, but let's face it... there will be times when we notice our error only after posting.
