  Update estimated times even when no new data is received

  Continue showing estimated data when connections are lost. Right now OneBusAway may display the same time for ten minutes and then jump straight from 15 minutes to 5 when you refresh. Oops. With AJAX it is entirely possible to have the web page continue updating the information wih no new information from the server.

  Idea submission improvements

  I suggest you change this site so I can find the ideas I submitted. Or so ideas don't get lost. I typed in a three paragraph idea and then was told I needed to sign in before it could be submitted, which I did, and now it appears to be lost. You shouldn't let people start typing until they are signed in.
