1. Suggestion: Not really a feature, but remove adds when mobile device is on the full version website. (Or to disable ads in dev. mode)

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: When I develop responsive web pages, I have a tendency to test out my pages on a mobile device but then I get forwarded to the add pages, which is quite annoying when i'm trying to focus...

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented: Just as other features.

1. Suggestion: When user pay for php service alow them to use full php features.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: Cause most of web masters who know what is php and want to use for little complicated feature will disappoint like i did when i try to implement new video player wich work on php and i did not succeed.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented: Like all updates.

1. Suggestion:
Add Paypal as payment option to increase the personal account balance.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature:
Payment tends to be a hassle for customers, and therefore also causes work for ucoz tech support.
Example: In the case of refunds etc. money is not directly refunded but instead added to the personal account balance. You cannot pay using a combination of personal account balance and another payment option like paypal, creditcard etc..
It is possible to circumvent this by ordering something else, having that refunded to the personal account, and then use that to pay for what you really wanted.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented:
Paypal is already used in places. This would seem to be a simple extension that could save a lot of issues.

=====================

1. Suggestion/MUST:
Offer a free domain extension with the Optimal plan for 12 months everytime. Or be very clear that a free domain is only valid once.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature:
Things like the Optimal plan offer a free domain when ordering for 12 months. But it is only free the very first time. Every following year that you buy the Optimal plan for 12 months, you need to pay for the domain separately. This is never mentioned and is therefore misleading customers.
From a legal point of view, customers have a right to a free domain each year.
Customers could also create a separate account and still get a domain for free. It doesn't make sense.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented:
Add an option to extend your subscription for both the current plan AND the initial free domain.
Alternatively, add text to the optimal pricing plan that lets customers know that the free domain is a ONE TIME OFFER ONLY.

---------------------------------------------
1. Suggestion:
Offer domain transfer from between domain.ucoz.com and domains.ucoz.com.
Alternatively merge them into one domain management site.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature:
domain.ucoz.com has less (payment) options.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented:
Probably a lot of work, but currently I have to bother tech support to make the payment for me. I'm probably not the only one, so adding all that time together is probably a lot of work as well.

1. Suggestion:
Create a Site User Point System module where site users can earn points in every activity they do and spend those points in advertising their product/service in an AD BANNER SYSTEM. If you like, you can sell this Point System to us (webmasters). And you know what? We love to buy this system.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature:
to enhance site users' activities

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented:
Probably a user can earn points at the start of his registration in the website. He can earn points in posting an ad in the Ad Board, posting an article in the Blog or Site News, or posting an entry on other modules. The user can spend this points in advertising his product/service in an AD BANNER SYSTEM. The AD BANNER SYSTEM can be another module or extension or plugin. The AD BANNER SYSTEM allows the user to advertise his product/service in any space he chooses in a website. The user should have an option to buy points in the Site User Point System. So another module/extension should be created which is the PAYMENT of POINTS METHODS. Methods of payments can be thru Bank transfer, Paypal, Skrill, SMS, 2Checkout.

Remember those three systems that uCoz should develop:

1. Site User Point System
2. AD BANNER SYSTEM
3. PAYMENT OF POINTS METHODS.

Those systems interact with each other. You can sell those systems to us if you like.

Any comments from uCoz developers? We love to hear from you especially from the top officials. We miss you words here in the English forum. Its seems that you're taking much time in the Russian forum.

1. Suggestion: Add more plugins/scripts/options, and add them into the control panel from where we can buy them.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: We want php,java and other plugins in our control panel from where we can buy it, i am sure that a lot of users agree with me. If we have all other things in control panel why we need to go and buy scripts on other sites and get in trouble when try to implement it.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented: Just add it like new module where we can buy and enable in few clicks.

1. Suggestion: Make responsive for Reply form in comment

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: Because over 50% of visitors are using smartphone to visit our sites. And when pressing on Reply in comment, a comment form will appear in ajax window. Mobile users have trouble when typing text, they dont see the text that they are typing.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented: When pressing on Reply, it's no need to have a comment form in ajax window. Just open a new comment form right below that comment. Or uCoz maybe have better way/solution!!!

1. Suggestion: Stick user's comment on top in one entry which is the same as Q&A platform.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: In order to compete with other CMS platform, uCoz should have a flexibility for these modules.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented: I would like uCoz comment system can be useful by adding more functions and it will be Q&A site. The best answer/comment can be stick on top by person making question. If not, stick by rating of users. Administrator/moderator are able to stick the best answer on top as well.

1. Suggestion: Increase avatar dimensions. It should no be no limit for dimension and KB (or at least 10MB). Or system automatically re-sizes their photo.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: Current maximum dimension is 500x500. This makes user difficult to update their avatar. Since they dont have time to crop their photo and upload to our website. Actually, some does not know to crop their photo either.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented: Update system.

1. Suggestion: Allow user/administrator to mass download photo in photo album module.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: Other system allow users to download their website content but uCoz did not.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented: Update system.

1. Suggestion: Change the button icon in forum to text.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: In order to be easy for translation. Currently, those icon set only in English and it is impossible to translate instead of creating an icon set in user language. This really takes time and not effective way.

3. Your thought on how it can be implemented: Update system

1. Suggestion: Improve uCoz CMS. No update for several months. I don't like uCoz nowadays. They have few manpower and has a lot of projects to do like uCoz and uKit, uKit ICO. I'm contemplating that's it's not good to stick to one CMS.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: You need to at least compete with Wordpress and Wix.

1. Suggestion: Make uCoz websites to be Google AMPed (Google Accelerated Mobile Pages)

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: it's required for a progressive website. uCoz users will enjoy super fast-loading mobile websites that can experience 3x more ad-revenue per day (tested by Google) if they implement AMP in ucoz websites. Wix and Wordpress have AMP plugins. Why not uCoz?

1. Suggestion: Create FB Instant Articles Plugin

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: for better audience engagement and boosts website ad or sales revenue. FB Instant articles loads in an instant. Unlike the traditional ucoz webpage that will load for several seconds.

1. Suggestion: SERIOUSLY IMPROVE YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE (up to 24 hours help if possible)! angry

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: In times the customer badly needed ucoz help especially in technical areas.

What a WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY waiting for several hours or days to get help from uCoz. It's so DISAPPOINTING to me that I CANNOT GET HELP (24-hour help) as a VIP user. angry

Site traffic is money. And I'm losing it when I can't get IMMEDIATE HELP especially if it's technical. Waste of TIME and MONEY if the customer will just wait for the next day to get help!

uCoz should extend help right away! We are your customers. Your customers are your bread and butter. If you will not take care of us, surely you can't attract new customers. Old customers will doubt your integrity, value and innovativeness. angry

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: uCoz sucks in customer service, uCoz is very slow in improving, uCoz will be left behind or will be left DEAD if it will not grow.

1. Suggestion: We need a search engine that updates regularly . If 'xml' not manually deleted @ the panel, it can take weeks before it updates... last time we tested for 2+ months and was not updated. It's the number one complaint from members at our site.

2. Why uCoz needs this feature: Well this is obvious. Most visitors use the search feature in forums to find new and pertinent information. The way the 'ucoz search system' is implemented, the search feature is never updated and useless.
I had a free forum site elsewhere a few years back and their search engine was always fresh with the latest entries. Here, I am paying for the site, and the search engine, even when I manually have to go to the panel and delete xml, still shows the entries completely disorganized by date added... even when search is set up @ the panel to show in order.

I see regular changes made to the system here and the changes are mediocre to say the least... Been here since '09 and none of the udates reflect real issues that involve tweaking the existing system to make it work better... adding useless new features is not the road to success.
