Smartphone app and broadcasting
I don't find a smartphone app to use for uploading content. In using the mobile version through my phone's Safari web browser, while I can upload a story or photo/video asset and select under what section categories I want it to publish, I don't see where at the same time I can broadcast it to our social media settings, so I don't get that boost, or audience, until I go back to desktop, open the asset and select broadcast. Or am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

Cropping image in Touch 5 Mobile: Mobile Main
Am I missing where the option is to crop the image that goes with this block? This is what we get. I realize it's responsive, but if someone has that size mobile device it's going to look bad.
Also, the "truncate lead" and "additional paragraphs" only seem to display on the phone version of the site. The tablet version only displays the image and the headline. As it is now it looks like, in the example above, the "Pet maintenance" story belongs to the "Pet ER" story above it, but that isn't the case. They are two separate stories.

AAM Tracking Reports
Our Circulation Director is excited about the new AAM reporting feature. I'm wondering if it would be possible to have a feature that would automatically email the reports instead of placing them on the FTP server?

Page curl ad position - convert to HTML5, or use jquery.
I understand this is an antiquated ad position, but can this be converted to HTML5 or use jquery? It would also probably be lighter on the page loads.

Editing e-edition segments?
We have to do a lot of cleanup after the automatic segmenting and it seems to me there should be a way to edit a segment, that is change the asset it points to, or change it from a cutout to a segment that links to an asset, without removing it and starting over. At least there should be a way to tell from looking at the segments what kind they ares and where they are linking to. Or am I missing something? Just a minor annoyance.

Email import articles directly into workflow
I would really like to see a way to import articles via email to the blox editor and then automatically have those added into the start of a workflow to be edited. This would streamline our production of content greatly! Currently we have to have someone here to monitor the feed and manually place assets into workflow to be copy-edited. This is not as efficient as it could be.
Is this currently possible? If not, this needs to be a new feature.
A note: We already have email importing set up and running. We also have workflow set up and running.

Where to change the Touch 5 author asset_author_display
I'm trying to get the mobile assets to show the author name instead of the username. The byline is under the headline, so that's good. However the author field under the image in the right-rail shows the username with the avatar. Is there a way to change that to display the person's actual name?

Calendar scheduling on front end not detailed
I'm having a business flooding my inbox with calendar events. That's all fine and dandy, but they're making two listings for the same event because there are two schedules. For example one schedule is Mon-Fri from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. and the other is Saturday from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. In the back end I can condense the two but each time I have to make sure I'm editing the correct event and they aren't actually two separate events.
So is there something I'm missing in the front end that would allow for multiple schedules?

Comments "Real Names"
Is anyone else using the "Real Name" option for reader comments on your site? We made the switch earlier this summer.

Content importer author
I'd like the ability to have an email field for a content importer to assign an author rather than automatically assigning the sender of the email as the author. For instance we've got some people who write articles but I just don't trust enough to allow them to email their stories correctly to our breaking news importer. So an editor or someone a little more tech-savvy would have to do it and the system will set them as the author rather than the actual author.
I know there are no other fields available but maybe having a code like >>jsmith<< will be read as the author and John Smith will be set as the author while the rest of the body would be the body of the asset.
