Who likes the new product update?

There are a lot of people upset about this particular change because (1) it may make things easier for points gamers and (2) a lot of questions will be closed before they can get to them. Both are decent reasons. I've seen some questions closed out very early with a poor answer chosen when if they had waited just a little longer someone else would have surely helped them out.

Personally, though, I like the update. As someone who goes through listings quite a bit, this means I won't keep clicking on questions so often and finding that they've already been answered well. Instead, I'll see more of the questions that need me to answer them. :)

And as an asker, it makes it easier for me to select a best answer. Sometimes I leave a question open too long and receive so many great answers, I have no idea which one to choose.

Most of the changes made by the team are suggestions that have come up in the user forum, though. If you haven't been there already, the link is in the upper right corner. They don't post on there that often, but I've been pleasantly surprised many times when I found out they had been listening in the whole time. :)

I think it's a GREAT idea. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I didn't realize it was changed.
