Allow the user to vote directly on the main page
At the moment you have to open the detailed view of a topic in order to vote for it. This should also be possible right on the main page.

Steve McLeod AdminWe've chosen so far not to allow voting from the main page, to discourage people from voting on everything without reading descriptions or comments. However we also see a good argument for optionally enabling voting directly from the main page, and will consider this.

Heather PFair point Steve. Case in point right here ... I upvoted this feature, and then read your comment and retracted my vote.

Stephanie MergedIt is quite tedious to have to click into each suggestion to upvote. Users should be allowed to upvote directly from the main app page

FuryoftheStarsI would actually agree with the Admin's initial response here. I can't tell you how many suggestions I've seen where reading the title I was like "Ooo, yeah, that sounds great!", then I get in and read the actual suggestion and I'm like "Oh, wait, they're not suggesting what I thought they were", or I read some of the comments and someone points out something about it that makes it impractical/a bad idea, and so I decide not to vote on it.
I get that there will still be people who'll click in and vote without reading anything else anyway, but I feel like this would make it even easier to do so. -

Steve McLeod AdminAs this has been a popular request for a long time, we've decided to optionally allow voting directly from the front page. We still have some reservations against it, which is why we've made this an option.
By default, your users can't vote directly from the front page. You'll need to enable it. Full instructions are here:
