i.e.:
1) a spanish version. Spanish is the most spoken language in the word.
2) sub forums dedicated to eac model of notebook or desktop pc, so that people with same computer can create a sort of community and help each other better. In many other forums they do that, there are official thread for each notebook, which is not as a dedicated sub forum, this last could be even better...
3) visit some other forums and learn. There are meny functions missing in Dell Forum, like multi quote among all...
Etc...

cosh Jan 15	It's actually Chinese that's the most spoken language in the world, but I agree with the rest of it.
jdelidc Jan 15	yo de acuerdo. nececito un version espanol. my spanish might get better too if we get a spanish forum. maybe even ideastorm in spanish too
jdelidc Jan 16	?te conosces espanol tambien? (you know spanish too?) i gotta learn keyboarding
natalie_d Jan 17	@sergioo, Gracias para sus ideas. Nos ayudará hacemos una mejor comunidad. :-) Una Pregunta para usted: on #3 above, when you say that there is some missing functions in our forum, what functionality would you like to see our forum have? What would help make it a better experience?
jdelidc Jan 17	@DA_12: over here on ideastorm we have the little notification area at the top right that says when someone's responded to one of our comments. i know the forum has bold for new comments but something like what we got here would be much much better. i've been over there a ton since storm room started (been visiting the first time user page & OS pages) and it's hard to keep up with all of it. y nececitamos un pagina en espanol, por favor @sergioo: lo siento para interrumpir
aikiwolfie Jan 18	English is the language of business world wide. Even in China. Live with it.
natalie_d Jan 18	@jdelidc, on the forum, you can select that you want to be notified if someone responds to the thread, when you post something. The option is right below the text editor window. The entire list of all threads you selected notification for and how many new posts each has, are the bottom of the forum homepage. I think you raise a great point though. The notifications could be higher up and more visible on the page. Let us know if there is anything else you think could use some improvement on the forum. Thank You!!! :-)
jdelidc Jan 18	yes, and not just using email. after one day over there i ended up changing my email address to my spam account because there are so many. they end up just blending into each other. with the notification system here, they don't all blend in. but i'm also new over there and still trying to learn it. it's all storm room's fault. i know i'll be comming up with more ideas soon for over there. :-) @ aikiwolfie: it's the same way here in japan, but still. that's like saying "if you want to know how to fix your computer, you gotta learn english"
jdelidc Jan 18	oh, and have a cookie to remember my answer about the survey, although i so switch operating systems a lot so if it's already there, sorry. we gave surveys at walmart. they did nothing. the customers became percentage points. i'd rather make suggestions here
jdelidc Jan 18	not changing the language, adding it.
aikiwolfie Jan 19	Adding it in what way? Will there be a translation tool added? Something similar to what Google uses? I could live with that. It would actually be a very useful tool.
natalie_d Jan 20	Thanks for the heads up on the Backlit Keyboard Idea. The IdeaStorm Admin, Jackie, will be looking into this. We don't want Dell customers to lose hope either! Thank You again.
jdelidc Jan 24	esta por que nececitamos un foro en espanol..... http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=sw_other&me... .... translation: this is why we need a forum in spanish edit: hey, they finally got the link bug fixed... for now
jdelidc Jan 24	i still have to have help from google translator every now and then but still....
jorge Jan 31	Al fin entiende la gente! Ahora cuando van a implementar unas ideas!
zanlok Jan 31	y jorge.. realmente.. tu quieres hablar solamente en espanol? o quizas quieres que todos los otros pueden ver y leer en sus propias idiomas?
jdelidc Feb 1	puedo leer espano con ayudo de google a veces
jorge Feb 1	Come he dicho tantas veces "Que implementen las ideas mas con mas votos!", es todo lo que deseamos! O que cierren este sito.
zanlok Feb 1	nah. it was all just "chatty" silliness anyways :P
jorge Feb 1	You're right zanlok the purpose of the site is chatty silliness. ? ? ? ? ?
zanlok Feb 1	for someone who is so thusly engaged, jorge, you're sounding a bit hypocritical ? ?
aikiwolfie Feb 1	NO NO NO!!! The purpose of this forum is so you can all bow down and worship me! :oD
jorge Feb 1	You're right, stating you're right is hysterical.
aikiwolfie Feb 1	It's his state of mind. It happens to people as the brain begins to shut down while waiting for Windows Vista to boot. :op
jorge Feb 1	Ok, that explains it then, I've been out too long to diagnose the people who entered after the riff.
aikiwolfie Feb 1	There was a riff?
jorge Feb 1	@aikiwolfie: riff in the continuum didn't you know?
aikiwolfie Feb 2	I bet "Q" is behind it. He's always up to no good.
zanlok Feb 2	from StarTrek, silly rabbit.. and I'll bet he was, too ·P
jdelidc Feb 3	que la???
zanlok Feb 4	yeah - where's the delete police when you need them ?????
aikiwolfie Feb 4	They busy deleting citroentechs mind.
badblood Feb 4	English is the most widely spoken language in the world, meaning it's spoken in the most places, even if there are more people who speak one or other of the Chinese languages, in absolute terms. Anyway, Dell Forums is only intended for US citizens so why not Ideastorm, then surely you must have a Spanish version as well as an English version. By the way: THERE'S FAR TOO MUCH CHIT CHAT GOING ON HERE!!!!!
zanlok Feb 4	<< chattering some more... thanks for the extra exclamations, badblood, those were really necessary you know, so you can fit in with citro and all =P
aikiwolfie Feb 4	Dell are.
jdelidc Feb 5	chit chat is a 2 part word
aikiwolfie Feb 5	you mean a hyphenated word?
badblood Feb 5	I think it might be one word actually.
aikiwolfie Feb 5	chitchat ... Spell checker on Firefox accepts it as one word.
jorge Feb 5	Then we stand corrected, its one word, the holy grail of the English language has spoken!
badblood Feb 5	I'm glad we got that sorted and we stayed on subject....sort of.
zanlok Feb 6	http://m-w.com/dictionary/chitchat = intransitive verb Firefox isn't doing so bad with its grailness
jorge Feb 6	Well half the word doesn't make sense alone or when merged (ha! I said merged) if this is correct: chit
jackie_c Feb 6	If you would rather Dell reads your back and forth comments rather than specific ideas or specific comments pertaining to ideas, then this is what we will read :) It's all up to the participants!
badblood Feb 6	citroentech by discussing the nature of 'chit' and 'chat' (chitchat) I think we are really trying to improve on the forum. As my American friends like to say 'I am really excited' about this discussion, and I hope you too are excited.
jorge Feb 7	Well I thought we were allowed to chitchat in the forum and this idea is about the forum so... 1+1=chitchat.
badblood Feb 7	OMG that is such perfect reasoning!
aikiwolfie Feb 7	I'm confused. But! Dell should read the ideas, the comments related to the ideas and pay me a salary. And then implement my ideas. Without question. Ignore the chitchat. people will chit and chat and chitchat in threads. It can't be stopped unless you want to adopt Nazi tactics and just nuke the comments. Which would be bad. A good mod develops an ability to skim threads picking out important stuff. A good mod also develops an ability to deny all knowledge of anything they missed ;o) In a pinch, the system is being plagued by a bot. It the jorgebot.W32.exe. Linux users aren't affected. ;o)
jorge Feb 7	That does not compute.. beep beep beep ...
badblood Feb 7	reg was a bot. At least we knew that was true. Jorge is, well, Jorge is something else entirely, something unfathomable.....from the dark recesses of space.
jorge Feb 7	Yea! If I was a bot I would of already found those two ideas I haven't voted on.
aikiwolfie Feb 7	Maybe your search function isn't working :op
badblood Feb 7	jorges mate they were probably deleted and the idea count is no doubt buggered.
jorge Feb 7	Nooo... IdeaStorm buggered?
aikiwolfie Feb 7	SalesFarce.com software is impeccable.
zanlok Feb 7	What have you all done with the real IdeaStorm? I miss the one where no chitting was allowed :P
