Last week DealBreaker debuted our new look and several new features. Most of the site will still operated the way it always has. Our main column will carry the latest news, rumors and humor from the same stable of writers. Our comment section remains open to anonymous comments, and you can keep up with the most recent reader comments by clicking on the tab above. We still bring you the latest in Wall Street job offerings in our Career Center.
Our new features include a featured stories section on the top of the page, where recent important stories and classic DealBreaker items will be spotlighted. We’ll continuously poll our readers—whom we regard as our best sources for news, gossip and market intelligence—with a permanent poll featured in the center column. You’ll notice the center column also contains two new features—a column highlighting the new “DealBreaker Community” section and “Elsewhere.” The DealBreaker Community is an opportunity for reader to really shine. There you can start a conversation or pick up where one left off. It’s the place for readers to break new stories and start new conversations. Elsewhere will highlight the best stories of the day from all around these here internets. In the column on the far right, we’ve enabled you to sort items by the most read, most commented and most recommended.
There are now more ways to read and organize DealBreaker, and your chance to personalize your experience by registering with us. Several readers have reported problems registering—in particular, the inability to register certain user names or not getting confirmation emails. The confirmation emails are probably being swallowed up by spam filters. If you have attempted to register, or have any other problems with the site, please email us at tips@dealbreaker and we’ll get it manually ironed out.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

“The confirmation emails are probably being swallowed up by spam filters.”
judging by most of the comments i have read, they are not. shame on you.
“Most Commented” should be relabeled as “Most Recent”
And make the login persistent, for a few months. And fix the cookies while you are at it.
Thanks. Most commented seems not to be working right now but we’re getting it fixed. We’ll see what we can do about the cookies and login.
Yo Carneysaurus, I’m getting a scaling error when I try to upload a photo for the avatar. Are there specifications for the jpeg we can use, or is the function just broken?
Also getting an error when I’ve tried multiple times to upload a pic for avatar…
Btw are there any “decency” rules for the avatar pic, cus givin my chosen name here, a few choice images come to mind…
Testes, one, two, testes…
ok, i give up trying to register. Carney, i know you’re not too internet savvy, but whichever 8 year old you contracted with to design(?) your site, you should withhold some of his/her pay. a few less animal crackers maybe for him/her.
I’ve been trying to register, and the site is not allowing it. says to enter a valid username, email and pass. which one is wrong and why is it wrong? if I need to enter one number and one Egyptian letter for the password, say so. just giving me the same general message that all three could be wrong is not helpful. tell me which one and why.
shit, i’m worn out. anyone for a drink?
I’m a dude
i suspect it doesn’t like the apostrophe in your user name
where’s the “Closing Bell” column?
I like the index to recent comments. It allows you to stay up with the site without wasting a lot of time.
However, I am still getting comments dumped because of the distinction between users and guests. I’ll double-check the status info on the left, be sure I’m commenting in the right group, and still get dumped.
Coincidental? or Perhaps it is because you have changed the website layout that Merrill’s spam filters no longer allow dealbreaker.com on their web browsers?
this site blows worse than a Mott street hooker.

Back to the old layout…please.
damn modernisation!
Dammit to hell.
I´m an old dude.
I have had comments dumped over and over again by a mechanism tied to your login system. I swear to God I am posting as a guest, but an automated message appears that says I’ve failed to login. Man, I’m tired of that.
Since Thad made his infamous post on 2/15 re the journal of the fake Goldman trader, the know-nothing element of your readership has seemed to come out in full raucous force.
I just don’t have time to rephrase jettisoned comments and it’s been depressing (instead of amusing) to read the comments of others.
I just read one post in which the commenter expressed the opinion that it was okay to put out cigarettes on the eyelids of suspected terrorists. Something gells me that such a person is not interested in a rational dialogue.
As one other reader recently said, it’s time to find a new site.
@ 5:50– if you’re going to do it, why not just do it, instead of feeling the need to announce to everyone you’re leaving?
if we torture the terrorists then i am moving to canada. wwaaaaaaahhh waaaaahhh.
just go already.
