new is good, but slow is bad.
the site takes tooo long to load....i've been checking the music pages...and oye...tooo long.
also, there's not enough content when i do a music search. there should be lots of bands prior to having to go to the "next page"...only to wait for another reload...stop with the reloads..plzzzzzz
design wize....the look is kinda boxy and rigid
i wish i could favorite blog posts (i read blogtown more than anything else on the site). often i cant watch videos or read stories at work, but want to remember to read/ view them later...
Hmmm… from where I sit, the pages load faster than ever. But I'll see if it's any different when I get home! Also, I'll pass along the suggestion that three comments per permalinked page is laaaame!
I see you've set the comments-per-page limit higher then three... do you have it at infinity yet? Because that's where it should be.
And, as a poor bastard still stuck on dial-up, I sincerely want to thank you for not turning the merc site into one of those modern, overblown clusterfucks.
Kyle, I'm not the tech expert around here, but I know the editorial staff's already whined about html in comments—and our other whining has been met with prompt fixes, so I don't doubt we'll see that really shortly.
The preview is to give you a second chance to fix your typos and your lame arguments. Not yours in particular, just lame arguments in general.
I think the comments should be sorted oldest to newest as default. (Maybe changing the default view is in the settings - I haven't looked at everything yet.) Who likes to read conversations backwards? Not me.
If the comments/profile pages are going to be as potentially navigate-y as they currently are, they should be coded to pop-up with a navigation bar. I'm using firefox3 on tiger, if it matters.
The Music Listings page is incredibly annoying compared to how it was before where all listings where on one page. It still be like the Movie Times page: all one page and listed by region.
As an avid reader and a web applications developer I've been waiting for this for a while.
So yes finally.
You may want your guy to check out the character encoding of the posts I get what I think should be bullet points as • under Windows XP/Firefox 2.x.
p.s. you're new AJAX-y "edit comments" interface seems to have some z-index issues with your ad's - the textarea input text (and overflow scrollbar) are floating on stop of the right side ad sections while the textarea input it self is floating under... resizing the window doesn't seem to fix it either.
Now I get to see my face (and strawberry/rhubarb pie)! Hell yeah!
My main concern is that when I registered for the site, I received a confirmation email w/ link but was not required to click on the link in order to complete my app. Oh noes!
Rather than criticize something that has gone wrong with the website change, I'd like to applaud you guys for a simple yet awesome feature.
If a user attempts to make an action that requires being logged in, the website prompts the user to login, after the user logs in after the prompt, the initial action that the user requested is completed.
Oh GOD! I wish every site did this. Thank you for implementing it properly!

I'm I correct in my observation that even though I'm now logged in, I still have use a preview page before I can post? Lame!
And basic html's been disabled? Super unbolded lame!
