Ahh, suggestion... When you click Submit, make it automatically transfer you to the post instead of having to hit "Go".
But otherwise, looks great!

Looks good. Still haven't figured out what the History link does. The return page seems random.

the search function on the home page is much faster. on busy days it used to take minutes or just time out completely.

Being a long-time visitor here, it's nice to see a change. However, I've noticed the following:
1) Could be temporary, but the site is slower--much slower.
2) With my configuration of Firefox (pretty typical I think) and a Dell 600m at 1024x768, in order to get everything on the page to line up/across properly I need to adjust "text style" to a size that is far too small to read comfortably. Conversely, in order to make the page readable by increasing "text style" everything then overlaps and/or is too far to the right.

Kudos on keeping the clean interface. I'm liking the "categories" links. Do you think its such a good idea to let anyone post in HTML? Keep up the good work and bargains.

I'm glad to see the "bacon" filters apply to the "about" page:

Ben, embedded images show up in the edit screen, and I could have sworn the image showed up in the forums before, after I posted it, but it doesn't now. Just so you know.

#28 that's intentional, images show up in "forums", not in "discussions."

Ben,
Please consider making the deals column width variable by the browser instead of fixed width. I have yards of white space on the right of the page and the text is all scrunched up on the left.
Thanks for a great site over the last six (?) years!
