There is no current way to reply to the suggester as well as update the status in one go. A simple check box to make the response public instead of private should fix that.

I get the feeling any time someone sends a suggestion someone's email inbox is getting filled up. My point overall though is that some suggestions are more whimsical than other's. So they shouldn't demand the attention of company representatives until they gain more support.

Earn points every time you vote or create a suggestion. Points can then be traded for client sponsored items in a SuggestionBox Marketplace. Suggestions and voted will carry a different point value.

If somebody has already made a suggestion, I'd like to find it and add my vote. If I'm the receiving company, I'd rather have fewer suggestions with more votes than have to figure out which suggestions might relate. I might even like to be able to combine or link suggestions using the search tool... even if it's just behind the scenes.

Your map doesn't work for countries out of the US. My European location doesn't show up.

When we have a suggestion for a major business chain ... the feedback might be for a specific store, or for the entire group as a whole. But if we create the suggestion and forget to mention a specific store location, it's too late. There's no 're edit' capability, is there? Is it better to submit suggestions to our local business location, or to the corporate entity?

Give me the ability to group my boxes by type. The column will get way too long.

(company can use to pull people to focus on suggestion Under Review OR praise suggesters by featuring an Implemented Suggestion with small note about it)

example - if I am reviewing the 'latest' suggestions, then hit back on my browser, it defaults to 'top rated' and I have to go back to 'latest' then scroll to where I left off.

I'm not sure if it's that the company or the suggester decides not to make the public, or if unclaimed boxes don't show public suggestions, or what. There's probably a good reason, but adding a quick explanation of why you can't see the suggestions would be welcome.

SuggestionBox.com on promotional products, at tradeshow giveaways, or on corporate gifts and apparel would help your site really reach the masses.

I just posted a suggestion to Trackur's SuggestionBox and on the confirmation page there is a sentience under the "What do I do next?" heading which says, "Visit the Trackur public profile to read and vote on other suggestions."

In that sentence, "Trackur" is a link back to their SuggestionBox, or at least it looks like it is supposed to be. However, that link actually points you to: http://.suggestionbox.com/

A way to see what you get if you are subscribed in more than workds

SuggestinBox should use AddToAny's Share/Save button for social bookmarking and saving pages.

As example; there is a Kansas City, Kansas and a Kansas City, Missouri. I might have a suggestion for a company in Kansas, but need to be able and identify whether it is actually a Kansas store or a Missouri store. Doesn't apply only to big box companies. I imagine there are numerous small businesses with like or similar names throughout the country. Same with smaller cities as well. i.e. DeKalb, IL, DeKalb, TX, DeKalb, MI, DeKalb, NY, and so on. Adding the state would be helpful. This possible or something the original suggester must add?

When you're logged into the system and you are viewing the suggestions on a SuggestionBox page, you do not see the actual rating until you vote on it yourself. Some suggestions have had a few votes already. Let me see them.

I like the sound of the cowbell, but maybe a little quicker?

On Safari 3.1 and Mac Firefox browsers this happens.

FYI: I'm entering this suggestion in the SuperNova 08 Mobile Connection (w/ Techcrunch) contest, for innovative mobile ideas. It may not qualify as it taps existing "commercially available products & services". But I'm hoping the idea is enough of a game-changer to jiggle some noggins. This is all about enabling a Mobile Innovation Ecosystem, with SuggestionBox.com at its center.

First, enable Mobile suggestions to SuggestionBox.com with an Application that would work across a variety of Smart Phones (iPhones, Nokia N series, Blackberries, etc). By clicking on a SuggestionBox Icon on a mobile device interface, a user can submit a suggestion three different ways:

1) Type-in Text (like now)
2) Voice to Text (integrate with Jott(?) - they're accepting custom link requests for a variety of publishing platforms)
3) Video (integrate with Kyte.tv(?), which enables videos to be published/embedded to various platforms (live mobile streaming is in beta, but live is not a top priority))

I see Suggestions splitting off two ways: 1) Innovative Ideas ... and 2) General Feedback (good/bad customer experience). Ideas and the desire to offer feedback come to us anywhere, anytime. So having the ability to capture those ideas (on the go, in our cars, whereever) and channel them to the appropriate place is going to take Open Innovation and Consumer Generated Ideas (CGI) to a whole new level of super activity.

If I'm at a restaurant, and just had a horrible experience, I can whip out my Nokia N95 and do a Video suggestion, pointing out the hairball in my salad, sending it to the restaurant's SuggestionBox. They'll be able to see exactly what the problem was. Vice versa, positive feedback and innovative ideas can be voiced into a smart phone, with or without video. You allow pictures right now ... so video is the next step on the evolutionary ladder.

If a SuggestionBox does not exist for a particular organization when someone phones it in, it can be created (via Jott voice to text help), or perhaps there could be a 'holding pen' option, where you enable each person's profile to have a place where ideas and suggestions can be sent via mobile devices and stored. And later, at home on the laptop, we can reconstruct the suggestion and submit it in full detail and proper fashion. At least the option to capture the idea will ensure that it can live on and possibly change something.

The name SuggestionBox is THE prime name for this endeavor. It's instantly recognizeable and so widely known and accepted. So you have the window of opportunity to become THE desired Innovation/Idea/Suggestion portal/platform for ALL mobile platforms and ALL businesses. And if a business already has a white label Open Innovation platform in place (like DellIdeaStorm or MyStarbucksIdea), an InnovationBox.com Box should still be an easy sell, a must-have, complimentary idea channel that enables mobile ideas at a minimum. Their customer feedback managers can transfer SuggestionBox ideas to their other platform (MyStarbucksIdea does this now with 'CustIdeas' - Customer Ideas - which are gathered from stores and included on their wildly popular site). Or an automatic system could be put in place to push ideas across multiple platforms.

So there you go. Cheers!

I've submitted a few suggestions to test-- two for Razoo and one for you guys. None seem to stick (e.g. the Razoo account still shows 0 suggestions).

IE6 constantlly gets errors . Refresh rate is unacceptably slow, Site is useless if the primary browser is foxfire. Why would anyone design a site That was not fully compatable with Internet Explorer

I was wondering if sugestionbox can be translated into other languages, so it could be embeded into country specific websites.

is there another option?

In the real world, suggestions are dropped into a box. Super easy. I would suggest you adopt a similar approach rather than trying to get people into your network-- it seems that adoption might be directly proportional to the ease of use for the submitter (e.g. submit quickly from anywhere-- like a widget or simple feedback form). Even though creating an account is optional, it feels more like I'm joining something (you guys) when what I really want is to communicate with the company I am suggesting to. Just a thought (suggestion)-- I like the site, though. Note: the picture of my son has nothing to do with this, just wanted to test the photo process.
