Scrap the Cliche Nav Bar +3.76

Bountystorms is all about creative ideas -- why have a rectangular bar like every other site on the net -- make it arc around the top of the user interface or twist around the idea light bulb or something cool... live up to the creative M.O. of the site

Everyone likes different colors and shapes -- why not make it as personal and comfortable to the stormer as possible

I prefer buttons that speak directly to the reader. Instead of "how it works" tell me this is where I "learn to use it." (Also, BountyStorm should look different in the button that includes the name of the site.)

Maybe a panel should be great! To change the password, to choose the alert messages, to set some important preferences.

Expand the nav bar to full page, maybe you can include "people are talking", that at the moment is on the left column, in the nav bar. Or you can put it on the bottom.

In my opinion a green nav bar shlod be better, whit the blue underline. Maybe because I like green, maybe because green, white and grey are more attractive.

To begin with, you have done really good job with nav bar. It's simple, colorful, vivacious, but still polished. FB, TW and RSS icons look great too, however I'm not quite sure why only three networks? Where is MySpace, Hulu, ..? There in one horrible thing - background. I know, to make site formal and "I-mean-it-serious" style, white background is the best, but hey .. after some time, it can be boring, maybe even frustrating .. Why don't you use some background colour? Colour a page banner for beginning, or foot, or sth. Give the page some colours!! What do you think?

The whole site looks chaotic, because there too many differences between texts. And I agree with the other idea that the quotes on the left are sort of out of place.

I can almost pinpoint when things have been updated! Something doesn't work right. Claiming Bounties right now isn't working for me. Not sure why, but we just had an updat...hmmm Bootstrapping is a tough thing, but when it leads to quality issues, initiatives will die on the vine as valuable first time customers leave.

"Hi John -- Thanks for your comments. We do have a thorough QA process in place for the site, and have both processed and paid about a dozen bounties since the update, and of course paid many hundreds before it. Can you please contact us directly at support@bountystorms.com so we can help you with your problem? There may be a usability concern where it's not clear how you need to claim your bounty and how the rest of the payment process works. "    - BountyStorms
"Please also note this praise from a frequent BountyStormer on our claims process: "the payment process is perfect: easy, simple, fast! big thanks." Suggested by Troy And the comment on this feedback: "I very much agree here. Though it's not much, you really get what you earn and that is highly incouraging." - Ben "    - BountyStorms

Once there are more "BountyStormers," there will be a better selection of ideas and more representative vote of what is best. There should be more features to encourage/reward, if not simply a practical process for, inviting more people to the BountyStorms site.

Find something better to do with the space - maybe a success story excerpt from a news story where BountyStorms.com is credited with some of the success.

The brainstorming link on the top seems to no longer work. If I were new, I wouldn't necessarily have gone all the way to the bottom. I might have just thought the link was broken moved on.

give users who submit a project a couple of questions to help the community narrow in on better suggestions like: are you seeking a one word name? a plain english name or an abstract name? are there any words you want to AVOID using? etc.

Tweaks to Front Page +3.29

Home page is too "white" and hard to really take it all in. Right hand side of the page is too busy. Tool bar is better and helpful, but I'd move the twitter, facebook, etc. logos as I don't think they add much to it. Also, how does one correct their posting if they see an error or change their ideas? Should be a 15 minute limit to make edits to your posting. I like the countdown clock on the 12 hour limit. The "no ideas suggested yet" box is too small and not really clear as to how to start with a reply. Also, maybe think about adding a few % points to the first person that posts a suggestion so as to get the ideas flowing faster?
