- a stack of inputs ordered based on number of points
- items can go up and down (again based on number of points)
- anyone can vote (although technically the people with the pain point should vote)
- using twitter bootstrap (because I can't design) and one of the buttons you can use is green
- yes the number on the green buttons is votes
I apologize for any confusion in features. I wanted to keep this as minimalist as possible so the industry professionals don't think they are overwhelmed with information. I can see how this can be confusing. I tried putting some of the information in the uservoice widget, but that's probably not the best place to do so. Any suggestions on how I can inform users what's going on without cluttering the page (pop-overs sounds like a good idea)?
What is a pain point? Is it a problem? ... don't apologise I'm just looking at it like a n00b.

If users find it hard. A series of lo-tech screen caps showing a real example or a hi-tech video leading users through would do the job. Removal or explanation of any jargon. Seek feedback from actual users to get the best results.

14 points but nobody giving feedback? Here's some. It's not really apparent for first time users what is being shown here:
- Is it a stack of peoples input or a hierarchical list?
- Can items go up/down?
- Can you vote?
- Why are the buttons green?
- There's a number on them is that how many votes the item has?
Maybe a quick into paragraph explaining it's use? Maybe a series of mouse-over hints to tell users the mechanics.
All valid points.
