How do I submit a new idea to the IdeaExchange?
Please avoid duplicates. To check if your idea has already been posted by another member, use the search box on the top of the page. If a matching idea already exists, all you need to do is promote the idea or add your comments. To submit a brand new idea, click Post an idea. Choose a product area so your idea will display in the correct category, then enter a title and description. Optionally, add an image to your idea.
Why are "Popular Ideas" not sorted by number of promotions?
Popularity of an idea is a function of the number of times the idea has been promoted and commented on as well as the recentness of those promotions and comments. For example, an Idea X that has been promoted 100 times may be less popular today than Idea Y that has been promoted only 80 times if Idea X has not been promoted recently.

What is Promoting all about?
