1. Suggestion: Auto take webpage screenshot for site catalog module

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: Modern directory auto takes a webpage screenshot. However, we are still using the old way, take a screenshot by ourselves then upload to system.

1. Suggestion:
Screen alert for accepting Cookies.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature:
Many users do not know or do not know how to perform this action. The cookie policy is very important and should be taken into account.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented:
Automatically create that screen warning when creating the site. Also allow to change the information displayed.

--------------

1. Suggestion:
Improve ucoz display statistics.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature:
The statistics are fine but its design could be improved to make it more attractive.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented:
Changing the display style.

--------------

1. Suggestion:
Add social buttons on files / uploaded entries.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature:
It would be much easier to integrate the buttons in the materials directly. Novice users will appreciate. (The social bar works but can be bothersome for some users)

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented:
Add a section in the admin panel where you can select the social networks that you want the user to be displayed in materials.

--------------

1. Suggestion:
TAGS detector.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature:
To improve the user experience would be very useful to have a self-aggregating tags or tag recommender.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented:
After user add material to the site.

--------------

1. Suggestion:
Recommended Detector Materials.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature:
To improve the user experience you could add a section on "Recommended Materials" or "Related Materials" just below the added material. It might work as a reporter based on key words.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented:
On the site itself where the added material is displayed.

1. Suggestion: Active Entry is not available for user in all module

2. Why uCoz needs this feature:Currently, only Photo Album has this feature. Sometimes, user writes a blog or note/some important information to them and do not want it to displayed. Therefore, it needs to be hidden.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented: Adding this feature for all modules the same as Photo album

Make the admin bar, and the lightbox codes optional.
I don't use them, and their codes still appear in my HTML, which increases the loading speed of my website!
These useless things(in my situation) should be added to optional fastest possible!


P.S
And if uCoz answer is:
Quote Paradox ()
In terms of a uCoz perspective the system can't exactly not load required files or allow them to be a part of user controlled environment else risk users accidentally deleting the codes and then we have an increase in users who have corrupted their website templates to the point of which they would have to reset their hard work and start all over again - was see it already with the current templates and level of modification users have with them.


The page where the user can turn off the codes, should be protected with at least 10 CAPTCHA codes.

1. Suggestion: Category description ($CAT_DESCR$) should be worked in entry full text template.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: It is necessary to show the description in entry full text. At the current, the system just allow to show the description via $CATEGORIES$ code by setting the module setting. It is Ok but it's not allow user to customize as their needs.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented: Adding code $CAT_DESCR$ to ENTRY FULL TEXT TEMPLATE.

Add an "add to favorite" function.

This would help users to store their favorite posts.

1. Suggestion: Improve PM system (allow to edit template, PM with notification message when receiving a message).

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: PM has not developed for a long time. Due to the development of social platform, we need a live chat system or PM system working synchronization and effective.

User did not know he received a message until he refreshed page. Most of current site notifies user when a message is sent to them. Current system is not allowed to edit template that's really difficult for mobile users reading and sending message.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented: A small announcement will appear at the right bottom of website when user receiving a message from other user and allowing administrator to edit template also.

1. Suggestion: Adding virtual money for website.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: User can earn money from their post/entry/ comment depending on administrator setting then they can use it in buying award/property and give award to any one or keep them as their property. With virtual money, we could have the top richest list which makes user have an motivation to stay with us :).
<additional option>
For shop module, the virtual money can be convert to real money smile depending on administrator setting or disable it if they dont need.
</addtional option>

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented: Each user posts, comment, entry will let user earn money from that or administrator can adjust which one can make money for them.

Or administrator can set a sum of money in user pocket. Let the administrator setting the virtual money name, e.g. i will make it as ZEN or GOLD.

1. Suggestion: Re-building user module, aim at user.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: Previously, uCoz focus on webmaster and building website but times has come. We have to focus more on users. Adding feature as making friend, keeping friends in their contact. Re-build PM system, chat module, comment feature by making it more synchronizing.

We lose users because of not having a good communication board. They are fed up with sending a PM and waiting a few minutes then have to press F5. The most irritated thing is key in capcha when sending out a message. It is also the same for Tag board module (mini chat).

Reputation and Give award is not responsive either. When I try to add reputation and give award by mobile phone, it has a lot of troubles. User can not find Apply button, or if they can find it, they can not press on it. Text message is hidden, user can not read or edit what they have just written.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented: Re-update system.

1. Suggestion: Introduce a user friendly and attractive PM interface that is fully customizable with the system codes. A PM system where the subject to the message is not mandatory.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: To make the PM page look tidy with the possibility of multiple messages from one user to be under one thread, just like Facebook. Some times the message to be sent is so small of about one or two words and does not require a subject.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented: Have no idea
