"You are signed in as X" should link to your profile.

I keep wanting to check my profile (to see my score), but the only way to do this is to click on "your account" and then "jump to your profile". Given the importance of this page, maybe your name in the "you are signed in as X" line could link to the profile?

Yay! How are you going to do it? Has IMDB started exposing their data through APIs yet?

Update Radio Pop so that it uses the Flash-based radio player rather than RealPlayer

I'm not sure what your plans are for Radio Pop, but it'd be awesome if you could update it to use the same Flash-based player as iPlayer. I keep finding that the RealPlayer streams rebuffer loads, and aren't as reliable as the ones used by iPlayer.

Of course, perhaps you're just going to integrate the Radio Pop social features into iPlayer instead... ;-)

User sessions should persist across domains

At the moment, if you follow a link from one of the site's domains to another one, you lose your user session (are no longer recognised as being logged in). Trying to re log in also doesn't seem to work.

This is a fairly major usability flaw.

Think you need to explain this one a bit more... :)

Make external links clearer

Links to external websites (ie pages on museum websites) should be more clearly identified. It's really good to have these links, but currently the way they are labelled as 'view larger image' is confusing.

It would be better to say something like 'find out more about this object on XX museums's website'.

Bigger versions of images on the site

'View larger image' should show a larger version of the image directly on the website.

Group descriptions should allow more characters.

100 characters is far too few. People should be able to write a paragraph or two.

Link missing on image thumbnails

On the image thumbnails on some pages (eg http://bm.nmolp.org/creativespaces/?p...) the image thumbnail doesn't link anywhere (it's specified in the HTML as href="").

Group names should allow punctuation

Group names can't include punctuation marks (like question marks and commas).

Guess this wouldn't work with the Adobe Air DRM though. Sigh. – Frankie Roberto, on January 12, 2009 12:21

Any chance of getting the tracklistings onto the /programmes pages - I presume you're working on this? ie listings from here should be on here.

And why not go ahead and link the artists up with the /music/artists? Presuming this is in your grand plan too, as the data seems to be [partly] already there. In which case, I'm looking forward to it :)

A comment on the idea "Custom issue statuses" in Next Update:

Thanks for the feedback - I'll feel happier jumping my own bugs to 'closed' now. I wasn't sure at first whether 'closed' implied an alternative to 'resolved' (ie closed might be for bugs/feature requests that are rejected whereas resolved is for bugs fixed or features implemented). It's a question of terminology I guess. – Frankie Roberto, on December 15, 2008 13:02

A comment on the idea "Custom issue statuses" in Next Update:

Good answer - in some ways I think it's good for the app's defaults to help shape behaviour.

One question I have on statuses is what the difference between 'resolved' and 'closed' is meant to be. The arrows on the interface suggest that the flow is meant to be open -> resolved -> closed. I'm assuming that the resolved -> closed step is meant to be about QA, and checking that the 'fix' really works? When you opened the bug though, and then you fixed it (and you're confident the fix works), the extra step feels a bit unnecessary. Should you jump straight from open to closed? – Frankie Roberto, on December 13, 2008 13:13
