Maybe modify the feature somewhat to enable everyone to suggest article topics and let all authors browse recent suggestions?

Alternatively, maybe all suggestions made within a certain category (e.g., relationships) would be viewable to authors with articles published in that category?

Hi,

I like this idea and think it will give us (authors) the opportunity to give our reader base what they are looking for.

Unfortunately the spammers, as always, will take advantage of this new feature but hopefully the won’t destroy its potential.

I like the comment above to maybe categorize suggestions for all authors to see, this could even be done by the user submitting the suggestion.

Let’s hope this works and the standard of submissions improves.

Regards Colin

Patti,

It only shows up when there are article topic suggestions waiting for you.

Sorry, my bad…I should have made that clear in my original post.

Note to all:

Suggestion tests will be deleted by our human moderators.

Like everyone is testing it… :)

Heck, we’re still testing this feature yet.

Well, I finally got my first suggestion today. I was happy to get it. So, now I am thinking that this feature needs to be in more places. For instance;

The Author’s Profile Page
The pages for Top Authors in each category, by the authors name
More promently displayed on each article

Additionally, is there a way to delete these suggestions once you do write the article? For instance I got one and then wrote two articles on the subject, the next day. Now, I want to erase that suggestion, because it’s completed and wait for new suggestions?

Lance,

We provided a way to HIDE the suggestion instead of DELETE it, but I suppose we could change that to DELETE instead of HIDE.

I don’t care either way… Just thought we’d have less member questions for those who delete a suggestion and forget what they just deleted.

Oh is that what the “HIDE” button is for, excellent, that’s good. I would certainly like more suggestions, it gives me ideas.
