address a glitch in the "Write New Entry" feature. It always brings up a blank box when I click it.
I can't make any posts on BitMob because the box to post new entries is always blank. Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Add a gaming discussion forum
No sub forums or anything, just a single forum page for the entire community to discuss different topics related to gaming. That way we can get to know the people whos articles we are reading all the time.

add a "follow" feed
An option to "follow" users you like. Their articles will be posted in this special feed, so you don't have to dig through the MobFeed for their articles.

Bug: clicking "Write New Entry" crashes/freezes Firefox 3.5 on Windows XP
Whenever I log into my profile page and click on "Write New Entry" while using Firefox 3.5, once the MyBlog window fully appears, the hourglass icon appears and Firefox stops responding. I've had to kill the process every time and post my blog entries with IE8 instead.

Increase the Volume of your Podcast
Hey,
I love the podcast; however, the volume on it is really low. I turn my ipod up to max, I increase the volume through iTunes, and I still can not hear it unless I am listening to it in my car with the stereo turned up near max.
It is a shame; becuase I believe that your podcast has the potential to enter the list of Three which I make sure I listen to every week (Listen Up, Giant Bomb, and Joystiq .... you'd be replacing Joystiq).
Thanks again for a great site.

Add a way to manage images in your upload directory.
Implement a way to delete images in your upload directory once you upload them. If you want to go really crazy, allow users to create subfolders within that directory to further organize their images.

Do to security reasons at this current moment we cant allow users to create sub folders and organize images in that way. This may change in the future.

Add a byline to the RSS feed.
Under the name of the post should be the name of the author of said post. Simple but it helps since many of us enjoy following specific writers. Also, it helps if you read with whoever wrote its' voice in your head.

Use a better post editor.
The only thing I don't like about the website is the editor. There should be an easy, obvious way to save drafts in-editor, the copy-and-paste function should work (in all browsers), self-written HTML for images and embedded videos should be allowed so you don't have to waste time fumbling with the wizard pop-ups, the editor should have its own page and window rather than overlay on top of the profile page, have an edit mode (with HTML code instead of actual images/videos) and a preview mode (with images/videos), make links clickable in the preview... There are just a lot of… more

Create more indepth profiles
Add profiles so that users can get to know the people who's work they are reading. 1up.com and EGM were so good because of the personalities behind it. How can the Bitmob community have personalities if no one knows much about each other? No need for a friends list or stuff like that. Maybe a simple PM box, an about me section, and a place where we can put a picture of ourselves.

get rid of that extremely NSFW advertisement.
There's a banner ad at the top of the homepage that literally says "tits" and has a picture of a girl with a tie grabbing her boobs.
Perfectly fine if i'm at home, but i'm at work. Thank you, alt+F4.

Comment Tracking, Revisited
Brett Bates suggested this a while back, but some way to track comments that you've made not only on your own stories but on other people's posts would be an excellent feature. Sites like Engadget make it happen by emailing you when someone directly responds, which may be excessive but still would get the job done.

Bug: Downloading Podcasts on iTunes
I hope this is the place to put this, but there's something wrong with episode 13 on iTunes. when I try to download it, it gives me the gray exclamation point and says "check if the URL is correct". I hope you can fix this...

Please give us more RSS feeds
I like to subscribe to shit through Google Reader, but the feeds at Bitmob are somewhat lacking. Specifically, I'd like a separate one for the Mobcast.

Put up the e-mail address to each staff member on their profile page
It would be nice to be able to directly contact a specific staff member instead of having to use the general feedback e-mail.
