What would be amazing is to have an RSS feed(s) that only includes items that reach a certain level of hotness. I'd love to have an RSS feed of the items, but the volume makes it untenable for me. But if it was limited to "Very Hot" and above (maybe with "Ben's Best" included) it would make it a lot more usable for me.
For bonus awesomeness, let me build a customized RSS where I can choose hotness level (as mentioned above), but can also select which categories and subcategories I want to see. For example I never want to see Movie and Cellphone deals, but Apparel is always useful. It wouldn't have to be personalized by account, you can just pass params into the RSS.
Also as someone mentioned not having the images in Feedly is kinda sucky.
Repeatedly posting the same non-deal can be annoying... month after month Udemy classes for $10, means that's the actual price on those classes. How are they in the top picks EVERY single time? Focus on real goods, and good coupons... not abstract ****.
Lose the "More details" thing at the end of the longer descriptions. So much white space around, there's no need to force me into an additional click.
I agree with this that the "More Details" link is annoying, but I don't agree with the fix. I like that every deal is equally spaced. I suggest making the "More Details" expand the box for that deal rather than take us to a new page.
Something is wrong with your images when page opened from behind my work proxy.
That "something" is no image is visible. Keep in mind that I can open the real image separately/directly.
I would also like less reposting of the same "deal" a week or so apart. Yes I know has costumes but you don't need to remind me every few weeks. Same with frontier airlines they have sales every week so that should not be mentioned more than once a quarter.
More importantly fix the mobile view so it saves your view level setting or just add pagination.
I absolutely hate it when I click on a link, say Best Buy, and the site sends me through a marketing/spam site first.
It gets blocked by my browser security settings, and I don't go to the site.
So send me directly to the intended site and not through a third party spammer.
I too, am missing the link. 40% for price comparison and 60% for the reviews. A person can glean a lot from reading reviews of a product. After reading an asortment of reviews, you can get an idea of the general value of an item.
Also a little irked that clicking the edit button your are advised that you can only edit your own posts, when that is exactly what I am trying to do. For example correcting the spelling of asortment to assortment!
It would be nice if you posted more deals for gadgets that people actually use. Where are the ham radio deals? Palm Pilots? Tape decks? All these new-fangled gizmos are just fads. Who wants a phone smarter than them? Not me! The machines are taking over!
1, Abandon your Facebook relationship. They are a pox.
2. Seems like a lot of really innocent comments are removed. It's amazing anything remains sometimes. I used to visit more when there were more comments. Hostile comments should be the only ones removed.
3. Check to see what your website looks like with things like Noscript, Privacy Badger and ABP every once in a while. We're already here to spend money ("save money" on sales). What does all of that tracking buy?
4. Ghetto dogs rule! :)
This has kind of been mentioned before, maybe have the "More Details" as well as all comments of a particular item expand on the same home page instead of linking to another page. It's tedious to load the new page and then return to the home page.

Hi Technician. In the past when deals were relisted the comments didn't carry over onto the new listing but they were not removed, can be seen on the past listings with the Price Change and Deal History tabs below the comment box, as well as a Price History link next to the product description.
The only comments completely removed are those of spammers. Some repetitive/offensive comments are "oink"ed but that is all and it is rare, mostly isolated to a few particular posters.
Coupons are often out-of-date. Today (27August) the page lists 5 coupons that all expired over a week ago. The page lists 4 coupons that expired over a week ago.

E. g., image for this post is:
img class="lazy" src="/nv/images/blank.gif" data-original="http://cdn1.bensimages.com/deals/2015/08/25/15/52401463-img56434m.jpg" alt="We Want Your Feedback!"
I can see http://cdn1.bensimages.com/deals/2015/08/25/15/52401463-img56434m.jpg if I open it separately but see no image on left from topic post. The same images are displayed in the carousel fine.
I reported that more then a week ago and got no confirmation of my post but the issue was fixed. Now (a few days ago), it came back.

I past, we had a link something like "My recent posts" from My Account. It's gone now.
I want it back :)

You can now post Indiana and diapers all you want, but I'm still going to raise an eyebrow on anyone posting about ballcarrots. ;)
Thank you!
