  I can't find anywhere in the mobile version of the site that tell how many notifications we have, and links to them (like I see on my computer). As email notifications don't always seem to get past the spam filter, it would be helpful.

  Here is another idea for the main site (not the forums). Develop an authoritative BitCoin price index derived from the market prices of various exchanges, something like Coindesk currently does on its site. Coindesk's price index has very quickly become a standard reference for journalists and academics, who often link to it in their work. This probably drives traffic to Coindesk, and the news published there.

  LTB network is a direct competitor to Coindesk. It might be a good idea to develop a competing price index in order become an industry reference point and to drive traffic to our site. Maybe also compiling this price data into a detailed, publicly-access dataset would encourage this data to be used in academic research and attributed in publications. Just a thought.

  Would you believe I'm sorta a partner at bitcoinaverage? I like their price and breakout, if we integrate a ticker it will likely use that.

  That being said, you should expect LTB indexes in the future. It's a big area of focus for me, I think it'll be huge.

  On a ticky-tack level… I'm always surprised that I have to click my notifications dropdown a second time to close it. I think it's fine, but I'm so trained that dropdowns disappear when I move the cursor away, I still keep forgetting this one doesn't work that way. Or if you keep it as is, could the ESC key close it?

  Coindesk has never been interested in a collaboration, and although I was asked to be the editor-in-chief over at Bitcoin Magazine last summer, that never happened either :)

  One other thing that always gets me is, when I quote another post, my response looks like it's part of the quote (though I'd think it looks fine, when I'm entering the text). I usually notice right after I post, and fix it by entering an additional return between the quote and my response, but I've seen the same thing mess up other people's posts (and it's sometimes confusing to figure out what's going on).
