Edit: Obviously the site has a redesign and obviously it has things we don't like. Here's my list of BUGS and REQUESTS, please add more to the thread as they occur to you. Some of these issues are specific to us as writers, but I'm putting everything on this master list. I'd appreciate it if you kept your requests to the most critical of features just to cut down on the noise. Please don't take offense if your suggestion doesn't make my list, I'll be doing my own discretion based pruning to keeps things reasonable.
Bugs:
1) Quotes in old front page comments are broken
