It's been looking like that in FF today too.

not very linux friendly..words are piled on top of another in some places, both firefox and chromium

annoying

It takes time to get used to, but I admit I like the new look. Related deals is a waste of space though.

Is there any way we can have a poll put in the beginning of this thread? It would make it much easier to sort out peoples feedback.

Quote from bryantq : That's not very constructive, but your feedback has been noted. Thanks.

Iam really not a fan of this related deals. I buy really obscure stuff so it wouldn't quite work. At the least I hope there is a setting to turn it off or disable it on an individual basis.

That was a mistake due to a rollout of the giveaway banners on production but not on beta.

I can only imagine the amount of work, effort and time (which equals money) that went into trying to get new features and content added for the SD community.

Having said that, I certainly hope that people making the final decision are seeing the overwhelmingly negative response to most of those features.

There is the simple, "oh, c'mon - this is just people being reluctant to change"......and then there's the responses in this thread.
People do not like, want, or appreciate some of the things that are being rolled out - regardless of the amount of man-hours or dollars it took to implement them.

Good luck to you, I certainly wouldn't want to be the one to can most of the ideas after working to get them finished......but I would rather be that person than the one that rolls them out anyways and has to deal with the backlash.

Some feedback will be taken where we believe it makes sense

Also we've made some algorithm changes to the Related Deals section - they should be much more relevant, and restricted to the same forum. In addition the ability to collapse related deals has been added for registered users.

Change is always difficult...people will get used to it.

I don't think it's working. For example, I posted a deal about Zenni Optical having buy one get one half off for eye glasses. The related deals currently showing are greeting cards, a beer can holder, mouse, binoculars, tv, and a blu-ray player.

I am actually looking for a router so I clicked on one. It would have been nice if the related deals showed me more routers but it didn't. Instead I get a Nook, a mens shaver and camera.

How do you collapse it? I tried the little - sign on the right and that wasn't it.

I like the community deal details, but you should have the setting of being able to automatically have this minimized, and expand if you want for each deal.

I just deleted a category from a Community Deal Detail section by accident. Maybe you should add a pop-up screen to confirm deletions or edits. Or a revisions section like the wiki so you can figure out what you accidentally deleted.

Might have been stupid on my part - I thought it was an expand/collapse button. Then again, maybe not, because that's what a minus (and plus) button could also mean.
