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

Front Page layout - MORE!
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… more

Comment form able to handle multiple submits without needing reload
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.

Give more feedback on Doctype development
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).

Provide a way to edit/overwrite/delete Resources
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
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.

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?

Create a formal means of removing a wrong answer
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… more

"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.

I’m definitely in favour of giving more powers to people with high reputation.
We’ll have a think about how to approach this.

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

Add an FAQ to Doctype.com
A FAQ-like page to help make doctype.com better in terms of usage and getting the users to know more about how to use doctype.com properly and in a way which it is built for.
Too many misuses e.g. using answers instead of commenting, accepting own answer instead of giving credits to the actual answer(er) etc etc.
The content of this page will be something like this: http://doctype.com/l9F and perhaps can be updated/maintained by certain chosen users.

Put some blank targets on your links to other sites.
Hi, I've been browsing some of your sites and I think it'd be a great idea to have the target set to blank on the links that go off to other sites, like if I'm on stackoverflow and click a link to doctype, it should open in a new window..

Put some target blank links to other sites.
After some general browsing over your sites, I think it'd be great to add some target _blank to your links to toehr sites, like if I'm on Stackoverflow and see a link over to doctype, or from doctype to here, it'd be great to have that open in a new tab by default :)
