That's irritate me right now is that the maximum amount of tags is only 5, I'd like to describe very acurately the page I send to SU and it will avoid the "graveyard" by allowing easily other users to find this page if they are make a search with one of the related topics. (I hope I'm clear because my English is not so good)

I noticed that some people complain about the difficulty to clear SU browser history.

I'd like to manage my SU visited page history.

Why there is a tag for "photos" and one for "photography"?
Every pictures should be automatically detected and tagged "images" for example.
I like to stumble other users ' photograph or painting.

When a site is available in many languages (in its menu by ex), it should be specific function to send the page to all the language in one move.

I encourage every stumbler visiting this page to add a review because I hope this wish and report bugs list will have a large broadcast. Why they didn't yet?

A really thoughtful list of features and bugs that really should be looked at, thanks for your contribution

My wish list go on...

And I'd like to be able to switch between 2 different versions of my blog, one in English, one in another language.

I'd like to have a specific place to keep the pages I didn't read well by lack of time. I know it is not the main goal of SU, but it would be a great and useful addition.

I'd like to avoid the SU graveyard too by adding a rate with my reviews, so my best rated sites would be stumbled specifically.

I'd like the site to have a permalink, so many good articles and pictures move at another web adress after a while...

Some sites are old but still very good and are not limited by the time, so it would be good to not be limited to the most recent sites. To add a completely time-random stumble would be interesting.

A flag or a map counter should be added as a SU function.

To add pictures to the blog is easier than before but still bugged sometimes. (especially big pictures in Firefox) To place these pictures at the place I want is not easy.

I would like to be able to do a true blog with SU based on my reviews and the webstuff I like.

I'd like to be able to do a search with 2 keywords (ex: europ AND politics)

The correction of the wrong topics doesn't work properly, and it seems impossible to remove some tags (by ex French Google is tagged with "sexe")

Good article (I added it on Stumble ;-)

Yes, I have some

I'd like SU to be more open to non-English speaking people. There are big problems when you discover a site which the title contains diacritic signs (as the é, è, à, ë, ö, ô, ï , î, as we have in European languages as French by example)

Why the SU menus are not translated, i have many French not able to speak a single English word. I'd like to invite them on SU.

The stumble in a specific language is not well build.

They removed the language spoken on the stumblers' profiles, so I can't know the language to use to message someone. It would be the minimum to have an automatic flag indicating from which country is the stumbler's IP.

I'd like to select few of my tags and propose my guesses to stumble through some of them.
I'd like to organize better my reviews for aesthetic purpose.

I'd like to add javascript more easily in my review (widgets).

I'd like to change the pages title to make it more explicit or beautiful, keeping the original in addition one of course.

I noticed too a bug in the guesses counter, my conter indicate more visitors than the SU's one.

I'd like a better stumbler repertory (to find with * for a part of the name by example) and the repertory shoud be more easy to find.

MY STRONGEST DESIRE: I would really like to be able to stumble althrough my own stumble, both to check the quality of my blog and to keep SU as my only bookmark site and get rid of Del.ici.ous etc...

And so many other ideas...

The big negative of this version is how long it takes to load the pip each time. It would need to be cached, and probably show a name for who stumbled it.

Can't believe #3 still hasn't been implemented.

I tried using yahoo pipes to pull out IDs from the friends page and make an rss feed that way, but I keep getting stuck. Any pipes wizards want to have a go? Please share here. :)

#3 would be really good. Can't believe it's still not implemented. I tried doing it with yahoo pipes - pulling out friend IDs off your friends pages and making the feed links out of that, but I keep getting stuck. Any pipe wizards willing to give it a shot? Share it here if you do :)

Some things I would like added are:

1) Ability to see EVERYONE who has stumbled your site.

2) Able to see your friends' fans or at least a feature where common fans wold be shown.

3) Something like Twitter where you keep on getting alerted when your friends update their status/profile/favourite pages.

4) Ability for everyone to actually BURY spammy stories.

i love stumbeupon but the friend limit is retarded.

and such a popular site should not have to resort to petty tricks to get more income.

and if they were monetizing effectively, they would not have any feature where users have to pay money.

they should be swimming in revenue from advertisers.

and again, the use of nofollows to links in our profile is greedy, just like del.icio.us

reminiscent of scrubs on the court trying any trick they can think of to get a basket. lol

your better than that StumbleUpon ! step up yo game

Normally when you are the first person to stumble a site, a window pops up for you to review it.

If that doesn't appear, but the page is showing it is thumbed up, click on the "reviews of this page" and add a review, though also best to think about what might be blocking the Stumbleupon window.

I think this is the first time I come across someone finding holes in StumbleUpon. I'm having a big issue with StumbleUpon, that I don't know how to resolve and what causes it:
whenever I Stumble a new page, it shows that "someone discovered" it, not me, not my nick. Does anyone know why is that?

Also, Andy, there's a Social Media Mega Project going on that accepts submissions about 19 different social media sites (hosted by 10 different bloggers, who host 2-3 of those networking sites), including StumbleUpon over at a1-fan-fun.
It would be great if you could participate and submit this article.

. . . when I look at my inbox, I really wish I could also see my replies on the same page.

I feel you on this one. Several months ago I sent a friend a link to a great post about getting .edu and .gov backlinks and I lost it. Wouldn't it be nice I could see what I sent her.

Without doubt the two things I would like to see StumbleUpon improve on are

1) The ability to search my own Stumbles by tagging and context. The old interface was actually easier to do this.
2) Your point #3. This frustrates the Hell out of me.

Hopefully the good people at SU are aware of this and doing something about it.
