Manifold's multiple choice questions with 2 answers look awful. This color scheme is hard to look at and understand at first glance.

Instead just using the other system for 3+ multiple choice looks much nicer and is easier to understand. Simpler is better here.

Quick and fun feature: add a shortcut to insert mana symbol.

Maybe something like $M or \mana turns into Ṁ automatically. Kinda like the thing with percent sign

ah, and also maybe add a way to toggle the constant emails being sent to you on or off(if there isn't one already, I'm pretty sure there isn't, because i didn't find it)

also, there's a but whreetthese 0 share investments can't be sold but still show up on the trades list:

add widgets for the mobile app so that you can view info about your bets and other things from your home screen.

A resolution process similar to UMA/Polymarket. I should be able to resolve questions. Mods can still override.

Bug where I cannot sell my stake:

I think that there should be a tab filled with Manifold related youtube content that has resources to help newer trades spot profitable trades.

Optimization for the markets with 300 options. I don't know how you would do this exactly, but they are a pain on PC and unusable on mobile. On mobile they just freeze the page.

there needs to be an average of a week/month in cases like this. How am i to read this graph?

@SG One Idea could be to get monthly mana rewards like how there are daily and weekly. This would make people more likely to stay on the site if they are low on mana and don't want to spend money to get more. Then there could be an option to pay to get more mana monthly the cost would be slightly lower than the cost to buy it all at once from the store. This would have appeal for 2 reasons, One if you made a bad decision and lost a huge amount you would know that you would be getting more later, the second is if the cost is lower then buying it all at once, If people were losing activity on the site they would know that they paid for something (the monthly mana) and its going to waste so then they are more likely to regain activity.

(Haven't read everything else in this thread -- sorry if this is a duplicate.)

Allow portfolio value graph to be shown in log scale (where you can choose the basis).

I find it hard to browse for markets I'm interested in. I feel like I'm stuck in some kind of gravity well and would like to have more ability to know what markets are out there.

For example, I would LOVE a "take me to a random market" button.

I would also like to be able to hide topics. There are times in life where I will have a more harmonious time if I don't accidentally spend all day looking at political markets and then telling my girlfriend what they say. This makes her sad.

I feel depressed when I realize how much time I've wasted on Manifold due to addiction. It would be beneficial to implement a feature allowing users to temporarily freeze their accounts, with the option to set a specific reactivation date. This would prevent users from impulsively deleting their accounts, which is less advantageous for Manifold than a temporary suspension.

Allow users the choice to downgrade from Masters to Diamond levels during first day of new season. I would rather compete and earn rewards at the Diamond level than finish way back in the pack at the Masters level.

I wish there was a way to never see "stock" markets. BTE made all of these annoying markets "X stock" which are basically popularity contests and never close. I want to remove them from my feed.
