1.6 Stable is now out. We should move on to the 1.7 Feature Requests thread.

Gaelle has not created it yet, AFAIK, so posting in some other thread of that name won't achieve much. Perhaps we need to wait for the first 1.7 Snapshot to be released?

@Pesala I thought this was the 1.7 Feature Request thread: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/12915/feature-requests-for-1-7

But then I realized that it's in the Windows category. If it could be moved to All Platforms, then we could just continue there.

Ah what's the point? These threads are huge and totally unmanageable, I doubt any sane developer ever goes through them.
We already know what the feature requests for 1.7 are: All the features here that were not implemented yet.

Since gaelle, who started it, is the community manager, I am sure she will write a report for the developers if they don't have time to sort the thread by "upvotes" and read the first two or three pages.

Ah yes good point, that would certainly help, but only solves part of the problem. The larger underlying problem remains though: Voting is totally skewed.
The first posts will inevitably gather a whole lot more votes than the ones towards the end, not because more people want them or because they are higher on the priorities list, but simply because they are the most visible.

As each thread would be for a point update - 1.7; 1.8; 1.9 etc
Why not limit each thread to a few pages and then "lock" for new posts whilst still allowing upvotes? That way each update would possibly have a manageable number of requests.

We could also have another thread to collect "beyond next update" request/discussions.

@mrbenjoi it was my reply also to the OP @gaelle . One can wish different things, but with what is given now and what you suggesting the best bet would be creating several posts (main features) within one topic (e.g. Vivaldi 1.7). Then the users can reply to that main feature post they need to.

• OP / Main feature post / wishes, wishes, wishes....
• OP / Main feature post 2 / wishes, wishes, wishes....

So, in @mrbenjoi's example

• ...
• ...
• Feature Requests (All Platforms) // Vivaldi 1.7 or 1.x.x.x.x
  • Appearance // main feature post 1
    • Themes
    • User Interface
  • Tabbed Browsing // main feature post 2
    • Tabs // users' wishes for Tabbed Browsing
    • Tab-Groups // users' wishes for Tabbed Browsing
      • Tiling // wishes
  • Panel // main feature post 3
  • Bookmarks // main feature post 4
  • Session-Management // main feature post X
    • Saved Sessions // wishes for Session-Management
    • Startup //...
  • History // main feature post ...
  • Speed Dial // main feature post ...
  • Quick-Commands // main feature post ...

Obviously, for organizational reasons and to not to be confusing, there can be only two levels for the tree-structure.

I like to see the nested scheme for features request.
Posting request should be allowed only if one read the whole thread (like an EULA to be clear), dupes should erased by mods or moved in the right request section (if wrong). Replies-to-replies should be hidden (but not erased as they can contain useful infos). When new feature request thread will be done, write to read everything before posting and an extensive explanation about the usage of upvote/downvote

@Stardust You can do this, albeit not in the address field. There are toggle buttons if you click on the % in the zoom slider.

@craight The whole address is visible in the status bar when you hover the link.
