#134For the "comments" page, how about putting each comment in context, by indenting it underneath the submission to which it belongs?
I know you've got a "parent" link there already, but it's not something people are going to click for each one (and the comment text alone is often not enough to figure out what it's in reference to).

#135For some reason, the submit page isn't doing dupe checking anymore-- it doesn't take me directly to the discussion page of the article being resubmitted. This means I have to go back to the homepage and find the article I clicked to find the discussion page.
Also, there's no link to the homepage from the submit page-- clicking the icon takes me to the YC main page, not the news.yc main page.

#136Add a way to contact another user directly, not necessarily Personal Message, maybe something along the lines of sending an email address from one user to another privately.
The current method seems to be posting your email address in the comments with something like, "Hey, email me about that . . ."

#1371. Make it clear that feature requests are not welcome as threads on the submit page. Provide a link to this thread.
2. If no URL is given, prompt the user to submit a comment before creating the thread. If given, always display that comment at the top of the page.

#138Meta-Feature Request: Release the interpreter and source to news.yc so that we can implement Markdown, fix the &foo; conversion to not happen on the server-side, and fix the multibyte encoding problems. :-)

#139I would like the ability to save stories in situ. But, most of all I would like for all of our comments to be saved. Unless I missed the next button, I noticed that only relatively recent comments are stored.

#140A place for people to share information about web hosting vendors would be very useful. For many hackers, this is the only fiscal expense on route to a first version.
