New Feature in Beta Testing - Deal Display

Quote from bryantq : They're not ads.

it's showing me stuff others had bought or looked at with prices. It's in the way. looks bad. they are on the freebie forum.

Can you give me an example of a thread where this is occurring? I believe they are supposed to be from the same forum only.

Community Deals box and Related Deals box are not in a good position. If anything they just slow down the browsing experience because they cause unnecessary clutter between the OP and the actual thread. If you must have it (which we don't cause no one looks at that stuff anyways), I'd say put the default as a [+] box which would need to be clicked manually to be expanded by the SDer.

Why are we adding: "I Like This/I Don't Like This"? TU/TD is the SD way!
Bumming the Like idea off of Facebook.
Which we are already bombarded with as it is because its embedded into SD.

Bumming this off of Amazon & TripAdvisor. Is it really necessary though? If someone hits Yes, does it auto-rep the person posting?

We're going to make the related deals only show up for Hot Deals for now until we get it working properly in the other forums.

It will rep them, but more importantly if a post gets enough positive reviews, it'll get added to a "Most Helpful Posts" summary under the Wiki. If a post gets enough negative reviews, it will automatically collapse the post and flag it for moderator attention.

Ok, well thats actually a great idea! I've noticed many times when people help to better a deal and it eventually goes into the Wiki they don't get credit for coming up with a workaround/solution for it because no one knows where their post was.

I like the Report Expired button. Makes life easier. Half my Mod Alerts are about this.

Quote from gt6mk31 : I really don't like the Community Details and I really hate the Related Deals. I don't like the picture at the side, I prefer it right in the post. Don't like the background color in the OP. All in all, I really don't like it. It looks cluttered and crowded.

X2 don't like it.

Can I turn it off? if I can't turn it off then I will have to create a script to block it then, huh?

Because I agree with the earlier sentiment that I saw this earlier in the Gamer's Lounge that I thought they were ads...

..as long as you give us the option to turn it off if we so choose, then I'm fine with it otherwise it looks cluttered.

I'm sure we can work in a way to make it a preference/setting.

Thanks! I think it's a good idea I just am not too fond of it myself. I could see how this would be super useful though with Black Friday shopping coming in the next few weeks though.

I think it will get more useful once we tweak some variables to make it more relevant and more useful.

Right now its strictly based on what others have viewed and in the same "top level category", but we can add some constraints that'll make it more useful (limit to same forum, match more tags, etc)

This way, later related deals (or related threads) in content specific forums like Freebies or Gamer's Lounge will be extra on-topic. So if you're in a thread about a Battlefield 3 on PC in the gamer's lounge, perhaps itll show Battlefield 3 PS3 as a related thread. It will get smarter/better as more people use it. So help us train skynet...

Feedback from my end!

New Cleaner Design

I don't think anything was wrong with the old design, but I do like the deal before author.

New Voting Style

Please keep the old TU/TD buttons! I would much rather give thumbs up than "like" deals

New "I Bought This" and "Report as Expired" Buttons

I like the idea, though it might be nice to have them bigger/further apart please!

New Attachments/Image Viewer

I don't tend to look at the pictures much, so I'm fine with them being on the side. Maybe a preference setting to have pictures displayed more prominently for those who like them!

New Community Details - Allows community to add pricing, category, coupon, tag details

I'm excited to see how this goes. Free ship tags, etc seem useful, but time will tell hod well it's adapted by the community. Maybe another candidate for a preference toggle?

Related Deals - See related deals based on what other people have browsed!

Please no! I have a way of searching slickdeals that I like and I don't want to be bombarded by other deals that the system thinks are relevant. Amazon started doing this, twice now with external vendor ads, and it annoys me every time I use that site (which is a lot!)

Thanks for your feedback and explanations in this thread! I like the idea of the "most useful post summary" as well as the quick and easy "helpful/not helpful" buttons

Hi, awesome work guys. Any chance you could bring something like this to the hot deals forum section (i.e. not just the curated deals) to have just one grid and have the thumbs up underneath the @(storename) part?

I think that would be really awesome and make the HD section far, far easier to navigate.
