This is a beta forum and will be closed at the terminus of the beta. The best place to post a new feature request or to check if one exists already is here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
There are places to discuss and vote (and more importantly accumulate votes). It is populated with team members as well as gurus. More importantly-it survives after this forum closes.

You may think it the proper place, but the software used on the Photoshop family pages is simply dreadful. If you want people to participate over there then make it more user friendly. It’s also impossible to sign in with an Adobe ID unless your screen name starts with a letter of the alphabet. Very disssapointing. Regards. 99jon
99jon ...
First off, Rikk doesn't "think" it is the proper place to submit formal feature requests ... he merely pointed you to the place that IS the proper place to submit such requests ... nor is he in charge of Adobe's choice of software to use for that forum ... He, like the rest of us must use what is offered to reach the desired goal ... Once you post your ideas and requests there (even vote and support other ideas already posted) they will catch the eyes of the development team in a more efficient and timely manner ...
Though the other forum is also used by Adobe, it is not part of the User to User forum that this location is part of ... I'm pretty sure Adobe ID's are not directly recognized on that forum and you have to create an account and log in using your email address and not your Adobe forum username ...
If any of these items are troubling to you, by all means please do express them ... however ... Rikk is NOT an Adobe Customer Service representitive and the wrong fellow to express your dismay to ... he simply pointed you in the right direction ....

Second link marked: New! is the definitive source.
You can choose not to participate if you cannot abide by the requirements of logon. Realize that your concerns may be failing to have the impact they might have. I have used this location daily for months and find it about on par with any other site. I am sorry you are disappointed. When the beta closes and this site is mothballed, perhaps you will realize that.

I believe you can also log on using your Facebook login, amongst others, if that helps. Try here for your Facebook login: http://www.facebook.com/lightroomqueen?sk=app_227698805184
Bumping this back to the top. Remember: this link is the recommended place to post your feature request.
Check to make sure a request doesn't exist already for your desired feature. If it does, add your vote to the existing request.
Also, one feature request per post is desired. Don't put a laundry list of items into a single post.
Make it easy for the team to see what is going on.

Europe, Middle East and Africa
