1. Of course, for the redesign to come. I've been waiting to see how it'll look for what seems like a year now.
2. The launch of the Literature Portal
3. For the Top 50 of All Time to be placed by human judgement, not automatically relegated by score, so older, timeless flashes are less susceptible to being buried by newer, trending flashes. That way craftsmanship and true legends of NG's History gains proper recognition.
4. For a more thorough code to replace NG's current search bar, so submissions are easier to find.
5. For newgrounds.com/account/art/edit to exist / for Art Portal Reviews to be as accessible as Flash and Music reviews are on a user's profile.
6. For a vote of 2 to count as a vote for blamming, not saving. This would help balance the blam/save ratio for nearly all users, and it might even help combat spam submissions who slip by whistle criteria.
7. For the "Recent Medals" feature on the userpage to be capable of being arranged on the left side of the userpage, beneath the Newgrounds Stats box; instead of one long line of 8 flash game medals, 2 rows of 4.
8. For News Posts to allow pictures to be embedded in the middle of a News Post similar to how Videos operate. It makes no sense why a News blog can have multiple embedded videos, but can only contain ONE jpeg and it has to be on the bottom.
9. For the Audio Portal to have a collab function similar to the Flash Portals, only obviously with different roles involved. Several users can collaborate their unique musical talents into one submission, but without a collab feature, only one would be able to submit it, and they would have to clumsily name drop the link to their userpage for credit as the extent of their collaborator's recognition. That limits the Audio Portal's potential in a huge way.
10. For Author Comments of any submission have the same text durability as the forums, in that they can italicize, bold, underline, and most importantly, EMBED LINKS to the text.
11. I'm making it a point to put it on dead last, but for PsychoGoldfish to get off his ass and finish NG Chat.

Chat has probably been finished for quite sometime now and they're just waiting for the redesign. A lot of the stuff you mentioned, except for Number 7 and Number 3, are being worked on for the Redesign. It will come don't worry, just have patience.
It's better that they take their time with it instead of just releasing something buggy that people will bitch about.
"WAH! WHERE REDESIGN!"
Redesign Released due to Bitching.
"WAH! IT'S BROKE! FIX IT! WAH!"
However even when the redesign is released, there will be a minority of people who don't like it.
"WAH! WHERE IS REDESIGN!"
Patience and Patience, Then Release
"WAH! OLDER DESIGN WUZ BETTER! WAH!"

Bitches gonna bitch. I understand with more time, less is likely to go wrong with the design...I just wish they'd keep us posted on progress. The absence of updates creates a false sense of nothing being done...I know that's not the case, but that's how it feels.
Plus, this is really just a wish list I mopped together in ways I think could improve NG. Number 7 being the most pointless, but still a neat thought.
