When a user wants to post an idea in the Esri Community website and goes here https://community.esri.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/arcgis-ideas the very first step is to search Ideas Exchanges to find the right place to post. Pressing the button for this enters a "Browse All Ideas Exchanges" section of the website. Currently there are 102 exchanges. The website divides these into five pages, 25 exchanges per page. Sort options are "Last Activity", "Post Count", and "Views".

This makes finding the right exchange an arduous process.

First, a sort option should be added to sort the exchanges alphabetically. None of the sort options are particularly useful for finding the right exchange.

Second, an option should be added to allow more than 25 exchanges to be displayed on the webpage, ideally with "All" as an option. This would spare a user having to go back and forth through several pages.

Third, there should be an Ideas Exchange for commenting on the Esri Community website itself. I'm posting this to ArcGIS Online, which is not really where it should go, because I can't find any better place for it.

Used to be an Ideas board, now it's in Community Feedback: Community Feedback - Esri Community

I guess I'll have to go to Community Feedback to post the Idea that Ideas should include the ability to post ideas on Esri Community.

I'm not going to waste the time. The underlying point is that if Esri is soliciting (unpaid) feedback on its products it should make it easy to provide that feedback. Case in point, having to have someone else in the community point to the right place to provide the feedback.
