The messaging feature would be good.
But as mentioned by @sparshgunner12 and @tijoforyou, a much needed feature is to mark a problem as TODO or something similar.
One more feature can be tagging/classifying problems according to the algorithms. This could be on a separate page and not displayed on the problem page itself. This way, if I want to solve problems based on segment trees, I can search for it on this page; and if someone wants to attempt problems without knowing which algorithm to use then he/she can stay away from that page.

I’d like to have (without repeating the things already mentioned here) “blog” functionality as I have on CodeForces - possibility to write some text that is not a question, but I’d like to make it public for all CodeChef users…
edit1:
I’d like to have “report button” next to the comment on problem statement page, I’ll use it a lot during the contest
edit2:
I’d like to have possibility to contect administrator from discuss. We know, that admins are not reading all post here. It would be fine if there is possibility to rivet to the post, because there are questions we cannot answer. This can be available only for users with some karma.

Here are my suggestions Please do consider.
- Problem customized time limits. For most problems the time limit formulae work out. But for some problems I can’t seem to get AC in Java that got AC in C++ (I used fast I/O too). The problem setters should be able to customize the time limits for some majorly used languages.
- As @bugkiller suggested, maybe 2 cook-offs per month at separate timezones.
- Ability to +1 comments below problems. So any problems with the problems can be easily noticed.
- Ability to add friends.
Thank you for this amazing site. Its loads better than some other ones.

why codechef doesn’t allow login from multiple devices? 2 at least? i am sure there are many people like me who take part in competitions more den doing prcatise problems, so only time we visit is during contest. But at other times we come for the discussions, to get and give answers. but if multiple log ins are allowed, we could take part in discussions from our cellphones itself. saves lots of time… so if possible

If we have solved any question & after many day we try to solve the same problem. So, on problem page, it must be written that this questions is solved. And if in one attempt we are unable to solve the problem then rejected submission code should be on problem page for hints.

I’d like to ask something here.
The ranklists pages should be 100%-wide.
Example of annoying table with scrollbars : http://www.codechef.com/rankings/JUNE13
The problem here is we can’t easily navigate into that pages.
Adding the possibility to split it into several pages would be perfect, but the priority is in the width, i think.
Thanks !

Something like this chrome extension would be nice. I don’t want to use chrome but this extension is just so fantastic.
Knowing which of the test cases failed would be great. The info may be passed on to us after the end of the competition if that helps maintain a level playing field?
its not something huge…during short contests the site becomes awfully slow…and it sometimes affects the performance too…2-3 cookoffs back site crashed for about 20-30 minutes…now some ppl had opened the problems while i could not…so the ranks went all haywire…if this can be rectified…its one of the best coding sites around…i hope this can be arranged…
Direct link to Contest times for all timezones
In the page where all contests are listed (http://www.codechef.com/contests), it would be good, if you could make the times (start time and end time of each contest) hyperlink to http://www.timeanddate.com/ so that it shows you the times for all timezones.
One can of course find the timezone if we go to the homepage of the particular contest. But, that is a two-click process. If Codechef could support this as well, it will be a one-click process, which we all would like.
I never thought about this, when I was back in India. But now, I moved abroad, and it is a bit difficult to keep sync with IST. I mess up the timings almost every time, now.
Best,
Tijo
Have you guys faced an issue where after submitted solution is tested , we hit the browser back button and the solution gets submitted again. I am not 100% sure but browser back button had some issues.
I would also like input and output using functions like topcoder. (Although I don’t know why many competitions still use the std i/o.)
Something to borrow from HACKERRANK, show which test-cases failed with their times without actually revealing the output.
Subject 1 is already supported
You can filter languages, just click “ALL SUBMISSION” and then in the top you’ll find two combo boxes titled “Language” and “Result”. For language you can select Java and for result just select AC. You can even click in “Time” to sort the solutions by time (first click for non-decreasing other and second for non-increasing). You can even see the solutions of a single user

Do you write code on the editor provided here? Even on SPOJ the editor is not nice (as seen in hackerrank), even there I prefer writing and testing on local machine. Why a better editor?
Easier access to prev submitted solutions? I don’get it. “easier” in what way? We have already pretty straight access. Please explain a bit.
I like the idea about friend addition. In Google Code Jam and CodeForces I can see ranking of my friends easily, that would be nice

A device authentication check during login from other device looks like better idea.

The reason, if I’m not wrong, has something with teams (maybe someone can correct or complete than)…
Personally I§d love that, because I have to log in at work and later again at home, cumbersome…
