It would give credence to the advice. If I'm not going to listen to the advice or the profile then what the hell am I doing here?I would rather see a reputation score on the profile page, or at least a list of the user's recent posts/threads with ratings. I don't see how what someone types into their profile makes them any more or less trustworthy.

A reputation score would be even better. Basically we are all in agreement that an expansion of the profile would be a welcome addition.

Can anyone suggest a good Anonymous IP address program?

Thanks for your response.

I was just concerned because I have some sensitive documents about my health stored on my computer. I was worried a hacker could get the info somehow.

I was already the victim of an identity theft, it was a minor invasion and so far the people with my info have not used it for evil - I had to freeze all of my credit to make sure.

I make sure to have Zone Alarm on whenever I walk away from my PC and I have some level of firewall protection. But I am feeling vulnerable.

The help button at the top right of the FatWallet Forums view 'menu bar' seems a bit too small for my 19" 1280x1024 screen. The text doesn't resize in the web browser and doesn't flash on mouseover like most of the other clickable items at the top of the page do. (Also, the edit text doesn't flash.) It might be good to make it a little bigger...

Are the changes to the "modern" Fatwallet interface done? I'm still using the "Classic" interface because there's two things I hate about the modern interface.

The classic interface has a [Last Page] link right next to the title so that I can quickly get into the thread. I don't like the modern "last page" link because it takes more effort to move my eyes clear across to to the right side of the screen. And since the "lage page" link in the modern interface is in a wall of text disconnected from the thread titles, it takes a bit more effort to ensure that I'm clicking on the one that matches the thread I want to read.

Also, I don't like that the modern "last page" link takes you to the bottom of the last page. I like the "classic" last page link that goes to the top of the last page.

Are there features in the modern interface that would bring back these preferences?

I have been reading FW since 2002 (joined in 2003).

If you search Nyko gun in the top right, the 2 result pages show exactly the same threads!

How long does it take the title search function to index the threads in deal discussion? (this is in classic view right above the thread titles) If I search Antec, it doesn't return my thread from a few days ago. Weird?

When I searched "Monopoly" in HD at 2:26am it didn't find the thread posted at 2:09am called "Monopoly Here and Now World $14.99 & eligible for FREE Shipping on orders over $25 Amazon Gold Box", but searching "H505" found the more recently created thread at 2:24am called "Motorola H505 Bluetooth Headset for $19.99 at Amazon.com (Regular Price: $79.99)"

Does title search only search certain words it picks out of each thread title or something? What am I missing here?

Smaller prizes with more frequent rewards.

Assuming you're trying to increase traffic, don't have a couple big giveaways every few days. Instead have giveaways more often. This way, even if you're not looking for something now, you may stop buy just to make sure you're entered in the contest.
