I want to insert a language dependent text into my survey. An explanation for the "asterik" (*). In the navigation of the survey should be a text like this "*=required". We make our surveys in english and in german. In german it should be "*=Pflichtfrage".

When having many Limesurvey installations on the same server and you want to add another fresh installation you really have to take care to use the correct settings in config.php. Otherwise you might update an existing installation instead of setting up a new one because when calling /admin/install the update script is called automatically without asking you if you really want to proceed. You might end in having an old installation using old files but being updated to the latest DB scheme which causes lots of problems at this old installation.

When creating / testing / editing a survey mandatory question are really annoying. I can think of these situations where making questions of a survey (temporary) non mandatory will be a great improvement:

1. (Developer) Testing possible bugs
When importing a survey for testing mandatory question can drive you nuts.

2. (User) Previewing a survey which is in development
You just want to take a look at the questions and survey design, having to answer all mandatory questions is a mess.

When viewing survey results of questions which use INSERTANS placeholders these placeholders are displayed within the question text at the answer overview. When using lots of INSERTANS placeholders within one question the overview is hard to read (see screenshot) because of the additonal text/strings.

It would be nice if these placeholder were filtered.

An example can be found at http://bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=3508

There are very much topics in the forum that deal with rights and session problems so it would be great to have a check if the necessary folders are writeable and if sessions on the server are created correctly (not sure how this can best be checked, any ideas?).

I am experiencing the same issue with twodifferent kinds of question:
1) I have set up a multiple numerical input question so that the people who decide to answer must distribute 100 points (%) into a few categories (equals_num_value = 100). This question is set up as not mandatory. However when one decides to skip it and go on, a warning saying that the question must be properly answered appears. In this way it is not possible to go on without answering this question, which is what I don't want. I would like people to be free to answer or not this question. Those who decide to answer must answer properly, that is they must distribute 100 points into given categories;
2) the same thing happens in a ranking question. The question is not mandatory: so the people who decide to answer must rank all the listed categories (7), while those who decide to skip it must have the chance to go on without answering.

When we ask people to write expenditure for example, we would like to ask also the frequency. Ok that is possible with 2 questions, but with an important number of questions, design becomes awful.

Right now the question help icon is placed at /limesurvey/images. This makes it hard to style the question help section. You are not able to change the image using the template editor.

The display of question attributes has changed from v1.86 to v1.87.
At the moment in the v1.87-dev branch just all question attributes are displayed, if the admin clicks at advanced settings. Therefore it's hard to see, which question attributes have been modified = are changed against the default values.
