Got the email too, appreciate you keeping an eye out for us and trying to reduce the fraud/scam freebies. Some of them just seemed suspicious outright.

I like the new features too. I'm intrigued now to see what other features will be introduced.

@Acidbaby - I agree with you. the users with the most "friends" on the site will have the most pluses (saves) on their deals, regardless if the deal is GOOD or BAD. it would be great if there was a way to negatively rate a deal.

dw you can save a deal any time. Its basically now taking over for plusses it seems. Just means you like the deal. But on the other hand I used the heating up section and did a thumbs down on some deals and it still saved them to my profile. So its like any activity on a deal will save it to your profile.

@dealwagger Good question about saves! You can save a deal, look at your profile, and you will see the deal under "Saved Deals." You can also see this feature if you click "Saved Coupons" and you will see a "Saved Deals" tab. You don't have to buy right away, but you can easily come back to it later.

i miss the news section. You could find news that other sites don't mention.

But I also want to be able to post good products that are not necessarily on sale, but is the very lowest price for that item, because I use this site as my personal shopping aid. If I need a ball chair, then I can find the lowest price they go for when searching on the site. [Some products never go on a big discount]

In my opinion excluding News and Freebie are not good options, instead why cant the MODS filter the real good news that benefits costumers.

And as far as i know most of the people love freebie section so better manage the freebie section than rather to wipe it out.

I also like to request mods, if possible to let us know changes every time there is some change in dealpl.us. That way do one needs to worry about posting error or vanishing the deals they posted.

Last but not the least, thanks a lot for this message of changes.

Thanks MOD and Thanks Sazze....

@Acarone Since there is no longer a Freebie section, would it be inappropriate to post subscriptions under Magazine and label it 'Free' ?

I agree w/ acidbaby about putting up a section for freebies since they will be taken off deals pages.

Some sites like Walmart, Target, Marlboro amongst others, are reputable and do deliver as promised on their freebies as advertised and shouldn't be missed.

I like Acidbaby's idea of having a forum with different sections, rather than an ask and share section.

and maybe a separate box for codes where to put the exclusions that apply? because sometimes the list is so long...

Goodbye: https://www.dealsplus.com/freebies And https://www.dealsplus.com/special-offers/news

Is anyone else's comments here being "moderated" ? I just commented on another post and that's the message that popped up:/

Noooooooooo I want my freebies! If you're smart you know how to look through it. I checked it several times a day :'(

I am sorry to see that the Ask & Share section is no longer prominent and seems to be only at the bottom of the home page under Site Links.

wow i went on vacation a couple of days and the site is completely different now time to get use to it will miss the freebies

Well with the Freebies section gone i have no need for this site now. I dont like 'social shopping' and its a waste of time for someone with a limited income. Change is not always good.

another site bites the dust -- they had a good thing going. The fact is the 2 places freebies & news are NOT places dealsplus made money --- all those "saves" are mostly affilate links for them to make money from. There was not money made on the news or freebies tab.

I like the new look

This is also another type of Improvement.

I agree, it's an improvement. Well, change is constant. New features = good!

What happened to this......... The new front page which is based on "Saves" should give a much more transparent view of what's trending on the site and paint a picture of the very best deals currently available.
