Yes, its broken and rather conveniently at times, if indeed its used to highlight the top 25 ideas for what ever time period to bring ideas up from the pits of all the duplicate ideas on there, then why are ideas which were on the last time period's top 25 brought back up? Shouldn't that qualify them to move out of the 25 and back into the pits of IdeaStorm? No? Then why are the most promoted ideas no longer ever brought back to the surface? We are assuming thats what Dell customers want, right? Isn't that the purpose of IdeaStorm? For the customer to tell Dell straight up what they want, in order to continue to be a paying customer? Or is it not the case anymore?

Other companies are now implementing some of those highest promoted ideas and well they're catching our attention, meanwhile Dell is still hanging on tight for the crashing drop into 3rd Place.

The vote half life is broken or there are some shenanigans going on. http://www.ideastorm.com/article/show/74822/Fix_the_popular_ideas_formula

It seems that ideas that should be on the front page are ranked below ones with less points. Seems funny that my idea that got marked as "not likely" went from top 30 to top 40 suddenly last night. Luckily for me and not so much for you it has moved back up to page 2. The sudden vote half life problem seems awful convenient if you ask me.
