Quoted from robin:As for the market, I personally really like the new Marketplace view but also realise that not everyone would like the waterfall. That's why I also included the option to have single rows, or double boxes (option 1 and 2 in the 4-views selector). That said, I did notice some display bugs in those 2 views which I will look into asap.
Perhaps you could set the default to 1 column and no EBAY ads if most people prefer that look.
I lost 100000 points Robin but congrats on a terrific site which you subject to continuous improvement.
Quoted from robin:People who lost a lot of Karma, please PM me and I will investigate what happened. There could be some gains/losses but it should run into the millions.
Guess the change comes from ratings not taken into account. I rated 135 pins, but only two count?
I am probably not the only one in that situation: Caucasian2step with 600+ pins rated lost more than 4 million Karma...

I lost points from all my ratings, looks like that's a potential bug
Quoted from robin:The menu is something I have been struggling with for a long time. I wanted it to display bigger on my iPad (nowadays a huge percentage of Pinside's visitors) but I also need space to extend for future menu items. And also allow for things like polaroid images to "stick out" and not go over the menu. So what I ended up with seemed the best option, considering these factors. I will dive back in at a later date to see if I can improve it, make it work better in some other way.
If it'll work, a center align may help with the visual aspect.
additional bug report regarding market.
If a member has an ad listed in the market, they have a small pink? icon next to their avatar in each post.
Click on that little icon and it used to pop up their ad. Now it just goes to the blanket market page.
Quoted from smokey_789:Hmph. Suprised blondetall hasn't take all the credit for this..........
Hey now. Basically everything I write is purely sarcastic or smartass. Maybe we need a smartass button too... We can make it your avatar pic... 
Ok, a small update:
- Made all menu items in one row again
- Fixed some market place bugs and cosmetic glitches
- Added a "save as default" button to save marketplace filter settings (and view type) as default.
- Fixed problem where ratings were no longer counting for your karma
+ Extra karma points are now awarded for adding comments to your ratings. Points based on length of review but with a limit to prevent abuse. As with all things ratings, this only works if your ratings are public.
Hmm, suddenly I can't upvote anything (tried to upvote your post Robin). Safari 7.0.4 and I tried reloading the page too. I'll check it in another thread. If I click the badge next to the voting to get the slide out panel it says loading ... for a moment then collapses again.
Edit: Oh, and a small bug - when you edit a post the buttons says "Preview edit" and "Edit topic". Instead of topic it should say post.

Quoted from DirtFlipper:Pinside mail appears to have just stopped working. Can't reply to a message or send a new one.
Was just going to post this. I got a PM and tried to replay to it but it won't take it. I then tried to create a new PM and when you hit send it doesn't do anything.
Quoted from robin:There are some server issues, working on it!
I couldn't give thumbs up, so I tried logging out, and it wouldn't let me log back in. It appears to be fixed now.
Server problem should be fixed now, friggin' source control was testing me.
Quoted from 0geist0:Can there be an option to put the Market back to the list? Hard to get through the way it is now.
Okay, how about this simple walkthrough:

cool features.
thanks 
Just a thought Robin, but the Marketplace waterfall would be a lot easier to process if it was a grid. Maybe you can crop the images and standardize the text box size with a ... cutoff for long text so that each one is the same.
Edit: Though really with the new options you've put in I don't think it matters, there's a way to make everyone happy already there.

Do you mean like viewtype 2, pictured above?
Quoted from robin:Do you mean like viewtype 2, pictured above?
Yeah, I say skip it, 2 is perfect if you want density but laid out in a grid. Now that you can 'lock' in your settings I can't see any problems.

Maybe make 2 the default? Although I still think the "4" view is the best. 
Quoted from gweempose:How come some of the ads have a pic of the backglass, and others are blank?
Hmm, could it be an ad blocker plugin doing this? I'm seeing those images just fine.
Quoted from robin:Hmm, could it be an ad blocker plugin doing this?
Yep. That's exactly what it was. I turned it off for all of the pinside.com domain, and I'm good to go now.

Maybe some sort of text to explain that the 1-2-3-4 boxes are for view settings would help. As it is it's not obvious (at least to me) that these change the view and are not page numbers, which are at the bottom. Maybe even could move this to the left side bar with the other options/filters.
As others have said this is the best forum design I've seen. 
I wish you could franchise it to other sites and make some money from your efforts. Speaking of money, I'm going to get my donation to Pinside going. I keep thinking I need to do that I haven't done it yet. 
I'm not sure if this is a bug, but after I completed by Paypal Donation I clicked on the "return to Pinside" button and it links to this page https://pinside.com/pinball/donate/thanks. But the page is blank. Tried refreshing the page and still blank. But, I now have a little red heart, and less guilt for not contributing.

Where would pinside be WITHOUT smartasses? (I wonder what the emoticon would look like )

Is the forum software something that could be used for other non-pinball specific topics?
I've been using forums ever since I got on the internet 15+ years ago and this is the *best* forum software I've ever used.
It seems like it's something you could sell, host or otherwise distribute to other interested users.
Picture loading does not appear to presently be working in Internet Explorer with the new Pinside version.
I was able to get it to work with Safari.
In IE, when I click to attach a file, the area goes blank where I usually can select a file.
Quoted from danisme:I noticed another odd thing. When Robin posted his Pinside t-shirt announcement thread the time indicator on the main page said the post was created 2 hours ago, yet when you open the post it says that it was first posted a few minutes prior.
Thanks for noticing this one, fixed it.
Quoted from 0geist0:Tried to find a specific pinsider and all I got was no results found. So I searched for a member that I know and again I got no results found.
Thanks, found a bug and fixed it.

You're right, that's a bug! Will work on it.

Yeah, I could move the view box to the left. Might be more obvious than the way it is now. Good call.
