To be honest, I'd prefer features to be centralized on the SLVoting website at http://manageddreams.com/slvoting.

The issue with using a poll for this is that no-one can add new features to a poll, so its potentially not really representative of the population.

You can get a virus on your computer by visiting un-trusted websites. I never click through unless I know before hand the company and its reputation.

It would be better if we could rank the features instead of having to choose just one on the poll. Also, a write-in would be nice, but I guess that's what replying to the forum is for.

Anyway, I chose messaging. I hope you meant for that to mean "Object-Object Direct Messaging Worldwide." I'm trying hard to figure how best to script my current object that will need to be updated quite often. And I'm only relying on email instead of the XML-RPC stuff.

llwritetonotecard(); BUT i'd settle for script commands to create and maintain tables in an av dedicated sql database. i'd even pay weekly L$ rental for the storage.

Huns, it is not funny, that's the problem.

This is something that started happening in the last few months.

Basically, a JPG can install a trojan in your computer and take total control / spy on all transactions.

Well, you can rest assured that the only jpg on the site currently comes from http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-xhtml10, though I'm thinking of adding some SecondLife icons from LindenLab.

Just choosing one is difficult - I agree with Dote Dote.

1. Voting should be checkboxes, not radio buttons.
2. Why can't we add our own, like improvements to the particle system, land data polling, or others?
3. Who the FUXX0R thought of increasing no-script limitations? You do THAT over my dead body!

Have a look at http://manageddreams.com/slvoting, I think it stands a reasonable chance of meeting your requirements.

SLVoting lets anyone add their own Feature Suggestion, at any time, though you will need a spare vote to do so. Any features with no votes are immediately removed from the system.

Very few people understand developer pressure, so forced prioritization is a good idea I think.

I found it interesting that the voting is shaping up to be completely different from what Azelda was reporting.

At the very least this gives you an idea of how inaccurate these votes can be..
