We have a filter that shows the feedback we've spent endorsement points on, but could we have a filter that lets us check back on our own feedback, organised by newest to oldest?

Understandable! For those of us who leave any feedback at all though, it's nice to be able to relocate our feedback so we can see what's going on with it or in case we want to edit it. When I wanted to do that recently it took some searching before I hit the keywords I'd actually used.

Yes, as Velus says, I have feedback I have made but can't find easily or at all due to disappearing in the forest of feedbacks. Currently, My Feedback is a filter for anyone's feedback that I have endorsed with points, not actually 'my' feedback. And currently, it isn't actually accurate. I mean, maybe something has been broken, or isn't querying correctly, but I can still find items I had endorsed in the past that are still open, still indicate I have points in them, but they are not part of my 100 points. Meaning that these old endorsements somehow got separated from my account, yet I can still edit the points in them, and remove points from them. I tested this, and if I remove points, they disappear effectively, since I already have 100 points committed. However, because these items are still open and have old points in them, I effectively have more than 150 points setting in various feedbacks. I said all that to just indicate that the list of feedbacks which I have endorsed is not exactly accurate somehow.

I came back to thinking about this, and considering whether it can be done within the current filter just with a couple of headings added. Looks pretty good! Except I have no idea how pagination would work. :( It probably does need a second filter.

(At the very least, we can be assured the two filters will have mutually exclusive content, since you can't endorse your own feedback.)

Yeah, not really digging the idea of breaking pattern and having sub headers for the lists there. I think I will just have to find some label for my feedback to separate my endorsed feedback, challenge is only in finding one-word labels for these buckets.

You could alternately have multi-word labels and find an aesthetic way to distinguish which words belong together. A basic example could be underlining them and ensuring the space between words in those links is a non-breaking space, but that'd be against the current aesthetic pattern of having no underline for links.

It could be as simple as renaming mine to endorsed and adding a mine which takes you to ones you suggested. There's no ambiguity in thinking endorsed means things people have endorsed as that's what roadmap is for (though that might just be rationalizing).

Any confusion about what those mean in that case could be sorted out by a brief blurb beneath the filters, but above the list of feedback.

It occurs to me that's actually a great opportunity to educate people just a little more about how our feedback system works:

• Open: ??
• Auto: Automatic suggestions such as these will happen automatically when they reach 50 points, or still need discussion to work out details.
• Resolved: This feedback's been implemented.
• Roadmap: The current development priorities of the site, as ranked by the community's endorsements. Things close to the top of the list will generally be worked on soonest.
• Discuss: These need community input to improve things, work out details, discuss solutions, or determine whether the feedback is actually necessary or appropriate.
• Endorsed: Feedback you personally have given endorsement points to.
• Mine: Feedback you've submitted to the site yourself. We appreciate the help.^

(^ unless you're just submitting a ton of garbage :D)

Roadmap in particular is a learning opportunity.

And actually Discuss should probably be more of a call to action:

These need further input from people like you (yes, you!) to improve things, work out solutions, or determine what's actually necessary. If you have knowledge about or a stake in one of these, you might want to catch up on the discussions and join in with contributions!

Velus, you can endorse your own feedback. You can't endorse your own profile suggestions.

I also would add that, since the system is fully aware of the list of all feedbacks to which I have replied, it would be nice to see that list. But seeing all my feedbacks submissions is my greatest interest. I wouldn't mind if this one list was both my feedbacks and all feedbacks I've commented on.

Oops, you're right Anne. I am not sure how I forgot about that. Probably just me being super sleepy at the time.
