The ones with ~ at the end of them. This is not good for security and it's annoying.
There _is_ an option to disable this but, as it rightly points out, if it were to crash at any point in the saving process you've lost your edits.

Not an idea

My idea is that we should thank CodeWeavers for their good spirit and generosity by offering fully-functioning versions of their flagship products for free - for today only (Tues. Oct 28, 2008)
CodeWeavers CEO Jeremy White was good to his word, and for today only, Codeweavers is giving away free, fully unlocked builds for both Linux and Mac of Crossover Pro and Crossover Games. Both can be downloaded here:
http://down.codeweavers.com/
In addition, on the same webpage, serial numbers to unlock existing Crossover products can be requested -- also for today only.
I know this is a commercial and proprietary product - the programs are modified, proprietary versions of the public and open-source Wine source tree with additional patches and tools - and that some in the community may object to my mentioning it here. OK. Object.

Make brainstorm's comment system less terrible

Won't implement

Hmm, let's consider....
I was posting an ASCII based demonstration of an idea on a comment, and guess what! I apparently committed an act of heresy! I USED MULTIPLE SPACES TO SPACE OUT MY SLASH MARKS!!!!! I know, you're thinking that I've got to be joking. A comment system that _removes_ extra spaces? What a lame concept. You might save what, 1kb a year on webstorage. Hey, time for a pat on the back... good job. Seriously, If I Go Through The Effort To Put Those Spaces In.... I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE REMOVED!

Sometimes I post a comment on an idea I strongly agree / disagree with, and forget to vote it. I'm just like that.
I think that, when you comment on an idea you still haven't voted, there should be two buttons:
-Post and vote YES
-Post and vote NO
That way votes wouldn't be lost by accident, like in my case.

Integrate a Spell Checker into Brainstorm... That will highlight typing errors.
Also, along with this, have a warning to allow people to preview and make any corrections to the idea that they are about to submit before they submit it, as we are not allowed to edit our ideas.

Brainstorm : allowing submiters to edit their post

Already implemented

As we always do typing error, or remember too late something very important to add, why not allowing us to edit our own ideas, or comments ?
I don't think that it would make too much abuse... as every forum (at least good forums) allow it.
[EDIT] Sry useless, it's already possible...
