Can all the databases for all the data related to the FRNs be linked??
Consider linking all databases related to one FRN. I have to go back and forth between MyIBFS, ULS, Redlight, etc., when they should be connected.

Finding the most current version of the FCC rules on the FCC website
The FCC rules are not posted on the FCC website or are not findable. I would like to see a link to the FCC rules placed on the main page frame of the FCC website. I would also like the rules to be searchable and to reflect the most current updates.

We are looking at improving how the website handles proceedings, and although there are some technical challenges, a list of upcoming deadlines is high up on the wish list.

Do we really need to pay someone to update a Facebook and Twitter account using taxpayer dollars?
The FCC does not need a Facebook account. The twitter feed should simply be the information coming straight from the public released documents. Taxpayer dollars should not go towards paying someone to post on these services.

Centralized login area
During this transition, the login area is really fragmented. Let's take the time to fix it, and make FRS very easy to use. Login from the front page, and quick links based on the person's account so far. Perhaps a categorized area with actions a person may take with their account? Really make it easy to use the system.
3 votesWe hope to roll out exactly that in the near future. If you take a look at the my dot preview (http://my.fcc.gov/), once launched, it will provide you with the ability to sign on, see links to common tasks that you select, and even follow specific agency actions such as dockets or proceedings, all from the home page.
A single, site-wide login across all the agency’s systems and portals is a little tricky, both legally and technically, but we’re trying our best to head in that direction.

genmen
Put GenMen back on front page. It is difficult to navigate to some of the information sections. We were used to seeing specific names for areas of the website. You didn't ask non-employee everyday users to test the new page and give results to your IT staff before the cut over was made.

Navigation bar should go horizontal
The vertical drop down menus occupy too much screen space, making them horizontal not only saves screen real-estate but keeps the overall new design more clean.

mobile version of site
The website must incorporate ability to view current issues and comments across different platforms. Most americans today are on the go, and for them to be able to keep track of events and post comments from mobile devices is necessary.

New website = New Coke
The FCC's web site should be designed to further the agency's regulatory mission and allow individuals and organizations to transact business more efficiently with the agency than they could in a paper or face-to-face world. Rather than focus on pretty graphics designed to maximize PR and image and present the Commission as hip and cutting-edge, the Commission should focus on improving the functionality of its electronic databases and database interfaces, the accessibility of information, and the amount of information. That's what loyal users really want, and the agency seems to have forgotten that. I can't help but think that the…

Provide user-friendly access to 30-day FCC public comment period for media license sales/renewals.
My local public radio station (Pittsburgh) is up for sale. We are told the 30-day FCC public comment period is underway, and I am unable to find any information on the process, when the period ends, online submission of comments, etc. So frustrating!

Fast lane pages for regular users.
Reestablish a way for frequent users to see all the most frequently used links on one or two short pages (think laptop). Scrolling through "Encyclopedias" is fine for beginners but very inefficient for regular users. And don't leave any old links out. You might not think we use them but unless you track usage, don't assume that. Here is an example: under the new WTB page, what happen to the wireless databases links that let you then run a General Menu Report Search?
17 votesWe’re in the process of rolling out a customized portal for the FCC’s power users. There you should be able to customize commonly used links as well as feeds to dynamically updating content. You can see a brief preview of the planned my.fcc.gov here: http://fcc.us/ih0cm1
