We have just switched DelphiFeeds.com to the new website, after it has been tested by around 50 users in the past 2 weeks (all beta accounts and data have been moved to the new site, too, of course). Thanks to everyone who tested the new site and provided feedback! As a result of the feedback we’ve received, we have added an additional option to hide the popular section on the start page, allowing you to see more postings at once without scrolling (see the My Settings page for available options). So if you are a regular DelphiFeeds.com reader, make sure to create an account and start voting!

I see you adopted the “DiggBar” type feature. I didn’t notice that in the beta. I actually don’t see it as evil, especially when you consider the ability to vote from the bar. The only think I would like to see different is if the actual url was displayed in the title bar. For example I see it there now and the address is:
http://www.delphifeeds.com/go/s/55144
What if instead it displayed:
http://www.delphifeeds.com/go/s/blog.gurock.com/postings/new-delphifeedscom-launched/573/
So the whole actual URL is displayed.
Changed my mind, this is good. Love the “Off-Topic” button, gives users the opportunity to flag private photo blogs, etc.
Jim: I know that the hidden URL is the biggest problem with this feature, that’s why we display the URL in the bar (below the actual posting title). Your suggestion would be possible for some sites, but I see problems with URLs that use arguments instead of paths (?foo=bar),
Ken: that’s why we added the bar! It makes it a lot easier to vote and mark postings off-topic when you visit the blog postings from twitter or via the feed.
