Schedule of Product Updates/Requests and #Votes?

To my knowledge, one part of Discourse/THSF functionality is that a member can raise product updates and all members can vote on perceived product updates. This may help THS to identify, and to prioritize, requested product functions from customer perspective.

Q- is there a location of the THSF that lists product updates/requests and the number of votes cast to date by members?

With a new year underway, it would seem timely that THSF members try to help THS to identify and to prioritize development features. If there were such a list then we’d be happy to reflect on each topic and to add our vote(s) to seemingly beneficial ideas.

It would also be helpful if THS did take notice of the things we’ve asked for over the years. Having recently posted about request for an ā€˜unfavourite’ or blocking button when coming across sits during searches that aren’t of interest, I noticed I had one more vote left. Surely more votes should be given each year, although useless if THS takes no notice anyway.

As @Smiley says, it would be helpful if THS took notice of what members want.
In my opinion, these Voting Buttons are meaningless

Yes I remember the forum having a vote on the 5 application limit which resulted in the majority wanting to scrap it. The vote button was quickly removed.
That vote went well!!

@Smiley, interesting. I’ve certainly gleaned some malcontent over recent months on THS Forum in regards THS being tardy, or worse, in product updates (features, policies, etc). Irrespective, I was curious on which suggestion topics had been flagged by customers (PP/HS) and their relative popularity.

They don’t fix even the simplest requests. Examples are the missing legend/key on the availability calendar or the search for EU or for ā€œEurope minus UKā€. To me this suggests that THS has mostly lost the capability to modify their web interface.

Sometimes there is a change, most recently the messaging/application module that was replaced by something new. And astonishigly, even there they don’t respond to complaints anymore. So my guess is that the person/contractor who made that module is gone. Or that it was a ā€œprojectā€ that was ā€œcompletedā€ and no work is done anymore.

It is my sense that THS doesn’t care about our feedback or needs. They change what they want, when they want, and how they want, no matter the impact on sitters and hosts. I don’t think voting will make any difference.
