I think the present format (alphabetically) with 91 pages, does not allow us the opportunity to really see the “areas” of need. If you could include a category box in the requests, then the requests could be grouped. Would you help us by allowing us to choose the “area” or classification of the request. Perhaps Nozbe can choose a dozen or so (not any more than that) including that catch-all category — Other.
We could navigate various areas of interest to us individually and comment and/or vote.

H2orocks4000, You understand exactly. Thanks. Are you and I the only ones who are thinking that way?

+1, I usually just end up picking a random page and hoping I’ll find a relevant thread. Not efficient whatsoever.
I can’t say I do not agree on the fact that forum is messy.. but @Ryan I can’t keep wondering why you do not use the search? For me it helps a lot.
i agree, search only works when you know what to look for, in the case of the forum, that dosent apply ussually.
Right, normal forum user behavior for low level users is usually support/help on a certain feature which they can search for easily. High-level user behavior is usually community-centric, and there is much more browsing and thread commenting and much less thread starting going on. It’s more of a dialogue and sometime you just wan to be expose to other peoples workflows and use cases. A ‘Tips and Tricks’ Section would help greatly….
Agree with ryan, and while you’re at it, why dont implement a suggestion system that people can vote one…
Nozbe is one of the best applications out there, but i feel like you don’t get the value of updating the users with planned featurs and let the users be engaged/involved with nozbee/gtd. Let the 1 and 9 % part of the 1/9/90-rule participate will help you i’m sure =)
https://www.dropbox.com/votebox is great! You can wote and suggest ideas(and you get feedback). Furthermore you’ll see what you are working on aswell(although i’d like an even better milestones-blog often)
I guess many of us also want to discuss gtd and how we customize nozbe with our work process.. But i’d rather go to nirvanahq-forum and do that.
How about using a forum software like any other forum? This would make it very user friendly? and you could have sub forums: tips, feature requests, News, etc? Would increase the profile of Nozbe imo
@Amit. I really would like that. I will pass this idea to Michael. Sadly, that is all I can do.
Or even better than using real forum software (although that would be an improvement) — use real CUSTOMER FEEDBACK services like GetSatisfaction, ZenDesk, etc. That’s what everyone else does.
In fact, any of us can just post at:
http://getsatisfaction.com/nozbe
where there are already feature requests. It supports more of Ryan and the OP’s use cases.
(For years I haven’t understood why Michael wanted to have custom forum software — it’s not the core business.)
+1 for using “real” forum software! This mess is so cumbersome in which to find answers.
I like the idea of categories so you can browse through pertinent discussions. I just want to say that Delfina seems to keep a pretty good eye on the forum and follows up on questions. Thanks, Delfina!
some sort of way to add tags could help with the addition of a tag cloud
