When I use the "Topics" link in the nav bar above, i get a list of all the topics on the site, including controls that allow me to sort by activity, popularity, etc... When I select one of my groups, I do not have any of these controls and I'd like to see the same ones available.
Ok, I think I have a really good one here. The more I visit the "Guild Wars 2 Suggestions" topic, I realize that I don't want to see the one's I've already voted on. Additionally, I'd rather not see the ones I've viewed, but decided I didn't want to vote on them... so here's my thoughst: Add a preference to hide/minimize/etc answers that a user has already voted on (they're all in the sidebar on the right anyway). Add an option to hide/ignore/etc answers that I have no interest in ever seeing again. If those options are not possible, it would at least be nice if I could "save" my favorite sort order/view on a particular topic (or for the site). For example, I'm much rather see all the answers sorted by "Newest first" as a voter, so I can continue to vote more without having to wade through the stuff I've already seen. Whereas new site members... [show more]

Does that all make sense? I think this particular set of features is very important to the success of a topic like the Guild Wars 2 Suggestions, so I'm pushing it to the top of this list.
We can talk about this more in person if you need more details, just so you know that I really, really, really (yep, that was three reallys) think this would be a huge benefit. [show less]
You've told me several times that "Groups" are intended to be groups of users, but I still think there needs to be a way to group related topics together... take this GWW skill feedback page for example:
They have the feedback organized under the "Skill feedback" page, then by profession. I think there needs to be a way to do something like that on this site... otherwise you'd have dozens of skill feedback topics, with no real way of listing them as a whole... thoughts?
I like the "New Activity" email I get every now and then, but I'd almost prefer that it was a little blurb on the main page after I log in, with links, etc to the new changes instead of an email... just being picky =)
I was trying to think of a simple way to make the "rank list" on the right side of the screen more obvious to new users. What if, when a user clicks to vote on an answer, there's a little animation (like a window minimize, etc) that "moves" the answer to the rank list?
Animated gifs as icons and avatars are really starting to bug me. They don't even appear to be rendering correctly anyway. For example, the little bug I uploaded for this topic was supposed to be breathing in and out... not spazing out like he's doing now.
Checking....
