Apologies to those who were following this thread initially... I had some issues moving it around and needed to start a new one.
Great idea proposed by Zxavion2 to add Ratings to custom views/subscriptions. In other words, set a threshold above which you'd like to be notified. We'll work on that.
How quickly are the topics posted to their respective categories? Will I get emailed more quickly using this method or using the classic subscription service?
Red for "Custom Views are currently available in modern"
FW created Modern against the wishes of many users. If you want to only add features to the modern interface, then expect lots of red red red until we all defect to SD.
PS: This is not a HOT DEAL. Shame on you. Just because you can (violate the forums rules as a moderator), doesn't mean you should.
SteveDuke2003 said:How quickly are the topics posted to their respective categories? Will I get emailed more quickly using this method or using the classic subscription service?Good question. Hot Deal topics take about 5 minutes on average to be categorized. So Custom View Alerts are not faster, but different. For example, watching the whole category of "toys" or "men's clothes" whereas neither might be in the title for topic alerts. Or... all the cool examples in my OP. With that flexibility does come a small price in time.
Anything and everything that requires a "Modern view" will be ignored. Lately, SD is my deafult site for Hot deals and FW the default site for finance.

I'm sure you've noticed most new features have been added to both views. Custom View Alerts just couldn't be added to Classic since there are no Custom Views there. Please join the solution and tell us what it would take to meet your needs here: What would it take?.

Spare me. Some of us like the modern view, some of us don't. If you like the classic interface, fine.. You will have reduced functionality.. It is expensive to keep up a website and it is silly to do double coding to keep a minority of users happy. If you do not like the "Modern View" give suggestions to fix it, rather than threaten like a petulant child to go to other sites. (Which I have been to and found far more annoying than FW)
Don't be silly, he is a moderator and is posting in order to relay information that many of us may want to use, but would otherwise be unaware of.
I think the moderators know that many of the people visiting their site go directly to the Hot Deals forum and announcements would have to be posted in Hot Deals in order to be seen.
Thanks to FW for adding these new features, I can appreciate the effort it takes to help me find great deals.

Just wondering, are you one of the few folks that are also complaining about how they won't be able to watch anymore TV from your 1980's black and white TV when the switch to digital TV broadcasting is implemented in 2009? It's just not fair, why are they developing cool shiet for digital channels while not improving the analog channels? It's just not fair.... blah blah
*cough* I still heard that "some" libraries still have microfiche readers for those who refuse to move to modern stuff... *cough*
To touch on the posting in HD: GREAT (cuz you have the right to post anywhere you feel necessary to reach the most people)!
People, give FW a break about "breaking rules"... its THEIR freakin' site!!! They can put ANYTHING they want anywhere... in order for you to see it!
To touch on classic vs. modern: this MAY be the thing that finally makes me switch.... but ONLY after FW listens to all the suggestions, and addresses the INTELLIGENT ones, rather than ignoring MOST of them, and fixing the easy ones!
*Tell Tim I said "HI!!!", and happy holidays to all the WONDERFUL people at FW (and FWF)... to include the people RUNNING the show, but never get to post (Admins, coders, marketing, advertising, and Facilities!).
