It's an interesting idea, but when I attempt to add a feature I get an error message - "Validation failed: Time estimate is invalid".

Can you fill me in on where this happened and what your input was? I'm not able to replicate your problem. The input for the number of days/months/years should be numeric, which I should probably not there somehow. Is that your problem?

Ah, the reason I couldn't reproduce was that I was logged in. Pushing a fix momentarily. Thanks for finding that!

That field wasn't even in the form I was given ... I'm not sure the input values would matter.

Yeah, it's an option given to project owners if signed in. The fix has been pushed.

Short name: "Instructions waste space" Description: "Replace the instructions after my first visit (or maybe first edit) with a list of the "crowds" most popular features and how my feature selections compare to the group."

I also just got a captcha with an umlaut ... not very convenient on my keyboard.

Same error when trying to save ... perhaps I need to clear my cache if the fix has been pushed?

That's a phenomenal idea! Thanks!

And re: your post below, yeah, try the cache - I just added a feauture called "Testing validations" with no problem.

Yep ... the fix appears to work with a cache refresh. I would also suggest an "X" button (in addition to the up and down arrows) so I can just drop the features I don't care about and see features in positions 11 and below immediately.
