Here's my take on it. There was an influx of ideas in late December due to press and free submissions. That created an in credible amount of napkin ideas which overloaded the Q staff. Not to mention, they were in the process of moving so those that submitted their ideas during this time are left with the idea that no one actually evaluated them. Feeling that way, they re-submitted and now there is an incredible amount to sift through and Q has not caught up and probably never will.

I agree. I submitted last week not knowing they were moving HQ. Now I'm worried my idea will not ever be evaled. One more reason to send notifications when an idea is evaled.

??? ... i can see 13 new ideas in UC, and right now they are sifting out a lot of old ideas

It's all in the thread in Free-For-All: Is anything missing in UC-seems like ideas have moved up

How many UC do they pick a week? Seems like a lot...is this the norm???

Nobody is sure what normal is anymore, or from here on out. Q just moved to a new building, which made the schedule all crazy, and there seems to be a shift in methodology which no one understands yet. Each week for the last few have had 85-125 items in UC at any given time. It was not that way before. 8 was a lot before. Some weeks they pick none, some weeks 1, some weeks 7 or even 10. Everything is a little topsy-turvy right now.

How find out what ideas are going uc.

In the very top menu bar, click on 'participate' and then choose the 'Under Consideration' tab at the top of the list of ideas.

what about this idea going straight to UC, thank you for the link tip.

“multi-use suction machine” -it not only pulls dust out of small table-top machines (like a sewing machine)or electronics, it can also pick up and collect, in a clear detachable canister, tiny items like buttons, beads, snaps, or even toy parts like Legos, board game parts, hobby parts, etc. It can suction & collect anything the size of a quarter or smaller! The collection canister looks like a small pitcher. Great for sewing and crafting or parenting!
