    Haven't read all the posts, so please no flames--would it be possible to confirm on the page if I've already logged in?

    A suggestion for the "Favorites+" link -- can it just directly add the link to your favorites without taking you to another page where you have to click "Go" (to go back somewhere you weren't before), or else click "Back" twice? No real need to leave the current page to add the link to Favorites.

    Oh yeah, and move that #@$! "Reset" button!

    Oh, and "me too" for fonts being too small and the page using up only 1/3 of my monitor, even set to "Large".

    Someone else mentioned the gradient background for the deals text. I think it's distracting too. Maybe there's room for the gradient somewhere else instead?

    How about not sending out usernames/passwords together as plain text in an email? Or better yet never email a password.

    Repeating what others have said:
    Thanks for keeping things clean.
    Much better display on mobile (PDA) device.
    Like the 'Expirng' and 'Most: ...' feature.

    The 'history' feature has great potential but is currently rather buggy. No time now to give details, but three of about five recent items I looked at had mismatches between featured vendors and product, or bizrate link goes to similar, but different item, etc.

    Finally got me to register, Ben! No sour grapes though.

    However, can you make it so after you post you can return to the main page where you left off? Kind of annoying to hit back x times or scroll down from the top. Keep up the good stuff, I tell my geek friends about this site all the time.

    Cool tip, #61. I suppose that was always in our browsers and I just never knew it.
    However, it doesn't spread the screen any wider, as some have suggested to Ben.

    The extra pages are nice. It would great to change the color of the viewed page(s) in the lower right corner to keep track of pages what were already viewed.

    Right... and next/previous seems to be in order as well.

    Suggestion:

    Don't apply the restriction on posting a 2nd comment too quickly after a first comment when it comes to *editing* the first comment.

    And get rid of the ridiculous filters!

    WTF does "restriction_on_posting" become "restrictiposting"? At least I can see the actual text when doing an edit.

    Ben,

    Your site is now broken in Firefox. It doesn't display every front page item or the footer.

    Can someone tell me what the blue bar just before the Discuss link means? Its length varies. Is it an indicator of how many people have clicked on the deal?
