Hey guys,
We know we've made a lot of changes lately. And we know many people (myself included) aren't always fond of change. But we are gonna be working hard to make this place as slick as possible.
If you have an idea for a new feature or any adjustments you would like to see made, please let us know. We'll be happy to listen and see if we can't make it happen.

you might could maybe want to let people know in advance when you plan to roll stuff out.

Light green for the links against this background is terrible.

So is having 2 boxes for new and recent posts on the right hand side.

What are profile posts? Those also need to go away.

Make lounge posts "count" and retroactively tally all old uncounted Lounge posts and add them to the user's post total. Makes no sense that they're not recorded.

Provide a running tally of "reported" posts/make reports public. This is America and we have a Constitutional right to know the identity of our accuser and what we're being accused of.

Right now I'm running with scripts disabled because of how crappy the old site was with pop ups and ads. If you guys have solved that, great job. I hope that was one of the fixes with the current new look. Those pop ups got out of hand.

The "disable profanity filter" feature doesn't actually work or do anything. The old site also had this option and it also did nothing. Why include it if its permanently disabled?

The Lounge 200 posts/1 year rule is no longer necessary in my opinion. Let new members post and see posts.

Create a HOF for most liked posts/threads, and archive them forever, so we can go back and review the best/funniest/most memorable threads.

Don't lock threads in the Lounge at 3k posts. No need to have 20 Call of Duty threads and 20 BBQ threads, etc. If a thread is still active at 3001, let it keep going. Old threads die on their own. Locking old stuff to prevent "zombie bumps" is fine and a good policy, but locking the top thread on a page? Perhaps there is some reason for this that I don't fully understand, if so, please share.

Let the Lounge be the Lounge. Stuff like canceling the DBOTY poll and issuing warnings for talking about why people were banned are some low lights. Understand that the SBF off topic section has become a gathering point for people and will always have off color humor, ridicule and shame, NSFW imagery (not porn), etc. Rather than make the standard of behavior the thinnest skinned, most easily offended puritan on the site, set an objective standard and let people decide for themselves if they want to post there or not. It is decidedly less raunchy and cliquish than it has been in the past. This is a good thing. SBF has done a good job of not being the post police of late, they should keep it up, but allow new people to post if they choose to. Let it breathe a little, like some stinky drawers.

All old links to threads should not be dead. We did make a setting change this morning, so we'd like to investigate. Can you give an example?

SBF was sold to a new owner in November 2015.

There are few new admins around that will be working mainly in the background. Sonic is still the man, but all of the change is too much for one person.

Later today you should have the option of customizing the colors that you see - similar to how you select a theme in Windows on your computer.
And agreed on the doubling up of new and recent posts. That's been updated as well. Thanks for the input.

This should be fixed now. Thanks for the feedback.

How about the link in my signature? Maybe older threads were deleted? The search function couldn't find that thread either...

Some of us have been here for quite a while and regularly contributed information that we used to use as a reference instead of typing it all over and over and over...

Waaaay too many shades of green going on here. I need to know what to click or avoid to click to stay on a page. It seems like whatever my thumb goes near, some window pops/slides out. I try to read a conversation on the slide bar but it keeps taking me to the member profile instead.

Search function doesn't seem to work either.

When you click on a members previous posts or threads, nothing before the site upgrade shows.

I also can't use the search function and it will not allow me to post feedback for a deal that was completed before the new roll out. Says the link has to be started by me or the person I am leaving feedback for which was the seller who started it.

I didn't like the change at first but now getting used to it. However some direction on where to find things now would be useful. Itrader (whatever its called now), how to find threads I have posted, how to now search, stuff like that.
