Good morning, all. We’ve been checking out all of your comments in the talkbacks and just want to say we’re listening and working on everything that you mentioned.

1) Talkback post order — This is one we’d like your opinions on. You may have noticed that the talkback posts appeared out of order in yesterday’s update. This is because we changed the order halfway through from oldest to newest, to newest to oldest. Originally we thought that having the most recent posts at the bottom would be easier, then a thread would logically read from top to bottom, but if you want it the other way (newest posts at the top, like this thread will appear) let us know. It’s your call. What do you think?

2) Complaints about the java countdowns — The reason we used that was less clutter. The main news area was getting cluttered with so much other stuff that we didn’t like it. Also, the countdowns will ALWAYS start with the closest event, so, if you just want to know what’s coming next, it will always be FIRST. Also, the headline is a live link that will take you to a site with more info. We’re pretty sure we are going to stick with that for a while.

3) The new look & the poll — It seems that the majority of you like the new look but there’s still quite a few that prefered the old way. Guess it goes back to the old adage “You can’t please all the people all the time”. Sorry that we let you down, but we hope that the new look grows on you in time.

4) Submit scoops on the main page — What can we say. We just plain forgot. We will be adding a SUBMIT SCOOPS link under the news heading in the left sidebar shortly.

Other than that, things seem to be working great. Talkbacks ARE slow, we know this. We could speed them up but then the main page would not get updated with [XX COMMENTS] information with news stories. We hope to make improvements down the road on this but it’s tough.

Okay, so did we miss anything? Anything else bothering ya? Thanks for visiting and being a part of the new launch. We have 136 registered TalkBack users in a little over 12 hours. Not bad.
