Well that probally had to do with the sets that many, many people have, such
as Star Wars. If you look at the starwars sets you see that it is very
cluttered and takes a while to load for those sets due to all the names. It
could also be a strain on the server to display all that info dynamically.
So Todd probally decided more people would rather have the page load faster
and not have the comments and who owns this set stuff. That way there is
also less stress on the server.

Personally, I liked reading people's comments so maybe should those should
stay on the main set page. Even better would be to use cookies where
everyone could set their own preferences (like for the news filter), but
that sounds like work, an no one likes work!

i agree that the guide is now a lot less useful.

i used it primarily to see others comments
see who was selling sets, and to post my
own desire for sets, and now none of those
things show up.

the default should be 'show all on the page'
and people should be able to click a href
if they DON'T want it all to show up

imho

Why are the notes now on a differnet page than the pictures? I usually visit
the guide to read people's opinions, and seperating the comments from the main
page of the set makes the guide less enjoyable to use.  I suppose I'll get used
to it quickly enough, but is there any chance of it going back to the way it
was?
