So, what’s the secret feature, you ask? First off, StumbleUpon has a much more thorough Help page than most social networking sites, but as with any good help page, there will always be more to add. There appear to be some interesting things going on in the user reviews...

I’m getting a 404 on the link.
Looks like the secret of StumbleUpon will remain a secret.
Sadly, this page 404s, so I’m removing it.
The post has now been restored. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Great, I’ve returned it to the what’s new page. Thanks.
Good article. I wouldn’t say it’s a "secret feature" but your idea works and is something that I do on almost every social media site, including reddit, stumbleupon, etc.
@vanessa: many thanks! @everett: I see your point, but it’s often that the secrets of many of the social media sites is breaking down every little nuance that many disregard. That, and determination.
No offence but im not sure what to read? Did you cut some of it off
I don’t think this is a ’secret’ at all. The Help Page is also child’s play and vastly inferior to the info you get from the StumbleUpon forum on SU: http://stumbleupon.group.stumbleupon.com/forum/ There are also external wikis and non-public groups which offer a great deal of advanced SU knowledge/details. I think I shall have to do an article on this soon. :)
@viperchill: check again, there was an intermittent issue on the blog. @doshdosh: sure, a SU forum is more lively than a help page that’s updated who knows when. Still, there is barely any mention of the yes/no, even in the forum you mention. After searching on it, the closest to it is: "i really think the yes/no thing is not necessary. maybe a flag for spam button instead. can we block people from seeing our pages? i still am unclear about the function. people who have been abusing perhaps shouldn’t be allowed to go through our stuff, otherwise what’s the point?" http://stumbleupon.group.stumbleupon.com/forum/64598/98/
