To help manage the recent volume of feature requests and bug reports, I’m trialing using UserEcho to organize them. Please submit your ideas and feature requests to http://sublimetext.userecho.com/.
Hopefully this will help me sort out which requests are the most popular, and have less of them drop through the cracks.
Just thought I’d all let you know that it’s possible to reply to a comment already. This makes it easier to read what’s going on. Currently I’m seeing a lot of backward comments.

You’ll know if you’re replying to a comment because the textarea displays below it and not above.
I think that’d be a pretty silly idea. The thing UserEcho does best is just giving a rough idea of the most wanted features. Other than that it has VERY bad visibility for any suggestions or requests not on the first few pages, especially with completed requests not being removed. Getting that rough idea seems to be about the only thing UserEcho does well.
Aside from that it seems quite a few poor design decisions were made and it’s not all that useful as a full time replacement for this forum. They could learn quite a few things from the StackExchange platform. Seems quite odd as it appears they were trying to directly rip it off in the first place. Perhaps they decide to make some dumb design decisions so it didn’t seem like a 100% copy.
You can select “Opened” from feedback menu. Yes, visibilty of ideas that have less than 5 votes is poor but this works like a queue. They will get better visibility with time, when ideas that are before them are marked as completed/declined. So when an idea is good it may be slow to move up but it will eventually get to the top.
The thing that could improve this page is Jon making use of “Active: Under review”, “Active: Planned” and “Active: Started” marks.
BTW. No need to close the forum in my opinion but making this topic sticky is not a bad idea.
Oh, I know with a lot of work and struggling you can make it useful. I just doubt your average end-user ever bothers to do so. It’s defaults are utterly useless unless you have a very low traffic project. Then all the terrible design decisions don’t really come into play. It’d be like if on SO it defaulted to sorting questions by most answers and views. The site might as well not exist. It honestly baffles me how they made half the decisions they did. My best guess is they were necessary because of legal issues or something as it seems they charge for some services.
The only downside of user echo is the topics are sorted by number of up votes by default.
That causes new threads to get lost, take a while to get seen and loose input.
Fortunately that is a setting which can be set by the forum admins: feedback.userecho.com/topic/5427 … for-forum/
If user echo sorts topics by Last Updated by default the it would work exactly like the forum, but with notifications, votes and better design.
Then just prevent new topics on the Technical Support, Features and Ideas in the forum and leave it for reference.
It is very chaotic like it is right now.
Hope support encoding GB2312 and GBK
Hope we can change the edcoding of a text
Hope sublime can open a file faster. Like notepad++
I suggest that you remove this forum (Ideas and Feature Requests) and put it as a link directly to userecho, instead of making the potential users to click twice to reach to the correct page.
Can UserEcho be tweaked to show more than 10 things on a page? It’s nearly impossible to scan the ideas list otherwise.
Whoops! I just found this item:
feedback.userecho.com/topic/3384 … -per-page/
Apparently if you want their site to be usable, you have to pay them extra. 
1, Please support multibyte encoding such as BIG5, GB, etc. which are commonly used by Asian country on Windows.
2, File loading is slow. Sublime Text takes more than 5 minutes to open a 100MB+ file, which Notepad++ just use about 1 minute.

Tracking feature requests with UserEcho is, imho, in total contrast with the quality of SublimeText editor. 
Why not using proper issue tracker?
Let me also say that I’d be much happier with mailing list than forums, but it seems that new generation is in love with having everything in browser.

Hi Sublimers Gods…
I want to say, SublimeText is awesome, and I just love it… just a couple of things to make it perfect!:
1- I need a replace in all open documents: That would be nice and I don’t know why this feature is not there.
2- It was better the previous icon of sublimetext.
3- The price of sublimetext is a little expensive… if you sell it $30 would be nice.
Thank you for create such a great program.
Saludos from Costa Rica…
1395 opened features requests on userecho 
How is it possible to manage all these requests ?
There are probably lot of good idea among them, but I don’t even have the courage to look at them and vote.
Does it really useful to add new requests ? Look like a waste of time…
Not to mention the ones I’ve recently looked at have all be completed in the latest nightly builds, yet still not marked, so there are bound to be duplicates.
If Jon could appoint moderators for userecho that could be handy!
Brad Choate – bradchoate.com/ did it for TextMate and I can assure you that it is really useful. You can publish your code as you see it in ST2 in any forum not just as mere plain text, but with its alignment and syntax coloring. The plugin for TextMate is doctohtml.rb and yes, it is written in the marvelous Ruby. The problem here is it depends on environment variables and some snippets written in the TextMate libs.
Is the code what I miss most in SublimeText2. Does anyone have done anything related to it?
Thanks
