    You read our minds ;)

    Yeah these are all great points. We are definitely outgrowing our homegrown forum, which isn't really a forum at all. Many of the points that you listed are actually on our list of things to fix. In fact the collapsed replies was already implemented, its actually a regression bug that we plan on fixing soon.

    Also we plan on introducing the ability to subscribe and unsubscribe to comment sections (forums, docs, code challenges, etc). Right now you get notifications for up to 5 days after you post within a comment section, after that you only get notifications for replies to a comment you created or replied on. We could probably lower that to 2 or 3 days, and in certain areas (like the forum) take it out completely.

    Glad you are enjoying the site otherwise :)

    When are the new languages going to be added? It has been quite a while since the voting began, and I am really excited to see new languages like python and HTML.

    For fcuks sake! Email notifications also include everybody's replies to all posts! >_<

    PS Thanks for the awesomest programming resource in the observable universe.

    There's ambiguity in terms on your forum.

    What you call "Topics" is called "Boards", "Forum sections" or simply "Forums" in any other forum engine. You have a fixed number of them and users can't create new ones.

    What you call "Top-level comments" are "Topics" for any sane internet user.

    What you call "Second-level comments" are "Replies", sometimes "Comments".

    Below i use normal internet terms.


    Honestly, your forum engine sucks, and here's why:

    1. You use ambiguous and very confusing terms, as described above.
    2. You display all posts expanded which is crazy.
    3. Your forum engine displays all forum posts in a single list, without any pagination. Combined with the previous drawback, this is a bomb.
    4. You send notifications (via notification area) for all new posts and replies in every board that i had participated in. But i don't want to be notified about replies in posts that i'm not interested in.

    As for UserVoice, it has a unique feature: every user only has ten votes to cast for feature requests. This makes him think twice which requests are actually worth his vote, making feature requests an invaluable source of information for developers.

    This is a great request. We are planning to get descriptions in there soon.

    Yeah we are not fans of that page either. Its been long overdue for a revamp, which is actually something Nathan is designing right now. In the meantime I've made some small tweaks and will have them pushed out tonight. Thanks!

    Thanks for the request. We will be doing some platform changes over the next few weeks to prepare us for whats next, and then we will be focusing on upgrading the site's competitive features. Stay tuned!

    We actually used to have UserVoice, before we had our own forum (which is really just our comments functionality repurposed). Honestly not many people used it that often, and it wasn't a very seamless experience. Also, I just took a look at their site and it looks like they are pivoting away from their feature requests feature and focusing on their knowledge base product.

    It is on our TODO list to provide a sort option so that you can view most up voted or most recent comments.

    The page of a kata, e. g. http://www.codewars.com/dojo/katas/52b5247074ea613a09000164 :

    1. It should have that kata's instructions displayed in the first block.
    2. The blocks should stack into two columns on larger screens (starting with iPad landscape maybe). Current page layout resembles a mobile version displayed on desktop screen.

    Please register a UserVoice.com account and migrate feature requests into it.

    This will let you know which feature requests are the most desired.

    I think that is a great idea.

    I propose to implement clans as groups of users. You can create a clan, give it a name and invite people to it. Users can see rankings of all clan members. Competing with their friends would motivate them. This would make this awesome project more social and fun!
