Welcome to BensBargains.net  3.5 -Welcome to the newly redesigned BensBargains.net We've been hard at work here redesigning BensBargains.net for the 21.08th century, and here it is. You'll notice several things immediately, which we'll go over below so that your bargain-shriveled walnut of a brain can more easily comprehend:

Page Width Increased
We kept the layout from BensBargains 2.0 when we went to 3.0 in July of 2006, however that was a layout that was originally designed way back in 2000, when 800x600 was still a widely used resolution. Now we can safely cast all of those users aside (the few that remain, at least) for a page width that is more amenable to today's hard hitting monitors and resolutions. You'll notice that most of the font sizes have increased as well, for the same aforementioned reasons.

Larger Images
We know you've been squinting at the tiny product thumbnails, and now you can put that magnifying glass away because we've increased the size of our product thumbnails by about fourfold. We figure that most of you have made the jump to some sort of broadband since the ole days o' 56k when this site was first envisioned. Our sympathies to those who have not yet upgraded, well, not really.

Navigation & Left Bars
We've added a dropdown menu for our most commonly accessed areas, saving you an oh so precious click when navigating around aimlessly. You'll also notice that the Left Bar features some of the recently expanded offerings of BensBargains, including our proprietary Tracker technology for locating the latest hot products, as well as Ben's Coupons - a coupon section that lets you see what coupons we've come across in our daily plunders.

We hope you like the changes! We're working tirelessly to make your bargain shopping experience that much better. If you happen to come across a bug, feel free to file a Bug Report and we'll be right on it!

Welcome to the newly redesigned Ben's Bridge Bargains.net: All the same trolls reformatted to make them stand out even better.

I like the new layout, but the deal quality has been steadily declining over the past year or so.

I think I just need to get used to this. The pictures are so big now.

I like the new format. I've been using 1600x1200 for years, and it's about time this site took advantage of more of it. Smile

now, if you could just remove some of those ridiculous filters(filtering RAM timings? Confused bacon appearing over innocuous words? Why? Sad ), and start enforcing stronger rules against swearing, racial comments, and offensive posters, this site would be perfect. Very Happy

How about a section devoted to all the give-a-way winners .. I would like to see what bastards keep winning my IPOD.

offensive posters are half the fun of coming here. Nothing like being told a product sucks because of "insert mom comment here"

Ghetto Dogs hate this bull.

This is great. I've been following Ben's Bargains since day one and I really dig this update.

Congratulations. The only people who really like the old way better are running Windows 3.11 on 350 MHz CPU machines in turbo mode.
