I believe we can make it so people have to be logged in to vote. Do you think that'd have more value? In general, we try to consider higher voted ideas first, but it's a little tricky with so many overlapping requests that get posted. One of the things I'm hoping our Curators will be able to help with, assuming we have enough of them, is to merge the requests together when they're for the same thing. That way the votes get put together.Here the WiiM team makes an interesting statement.
Where are my favourites?
Hi All! I'm new to Wiim Ultra and I have a question: I just installed Wiim Home app on a second device, an Android tablet. First one beeing an Android phone. On my phone I have created a number of favourites and playlists, but they don't show up on my tablet... Are favourites and playlists being...forum.wiimhome.com
They do not mention search history, but if this happens your request may be fulfilled.
@RyanWithWiim,
To me the voting system in this forum seems pointless. What is the value of anonymous voting?
Just having a very off topic conversation in this thread... At the top, next to your post, there's an up and down arrow for people to use to vote on this suggestion. Our team checks out the things that get the most votes (and everything else to be honest) to see what people are most interested in.
I did not know that guests could vote.
If I may be so presumptuous as to express my opinion, I see two flaws in this voting system.
And like that, no one can downvote.I did not know that guests could vote.

My concern is that newcomers will be demotivated by negative votes and quit submitting.
- No one knows the reason for a negative vote.
- In a (small) community, it is easy to vote in favor of a post by an influential person (conversely, many posts by newcomers are easily overlooked or voted against.)
I think one of the problems could be solved by eliminating negative voting. Or modify it so that only the number of affirmative votes is shown on the forum. (In this case, voting by guests would not be a problem.)
However, if there is no problem with the current voting system for WiiM Team, then there is no room for me to interfere.
Thank you
If anything, what I envision is a YouTube voting system. But I will quit writing more.
I agree, I have never seen the point in negative voting in this context, a not bothered is the same as a no for the purpose of feature requests.
Yeah, really the upvote is a way for us to see "how many people are interested in this". In that context, a downvote isn't very useful.
IMHO a downvote means the downvoter isn't interested in the feature and they don't want anyone else to have it either
The worst part is all voting is anonymous so when the same people downvote everything they can do it with impunity.Yeah, at times it feels we have a phantom downvoter as new suggestions often seems to be immediately downvoted. However, downvoting can have its use to express an opinion that development of the feature would divert resource from more worthy features, or that the request is niche or off the wall…IMHO a downvote means the downvoter isn't interested in the feature and they don't want anyone else to have it either
Isn't that why there is a comment form?
What do you mean, just a normal reply comment? But that wouldn’t necessarily be reflected in the score.Isn't that why there is a comment form?
Maybe a vote should be tied to a comment then with reasons given.
Sorry, but in Japan, these input fields are often referred to as "input form". This does not mean "normal".
Yeah, I’ve made that point in the past about the phantom downvoter - if you’re voting down or up, explain why.
