Most interesting part to me was this: "The retailer promises more Rollbacks that last at least 90 days on everything from electronics to baking essentials, and fewer “this weekend only” holiday offers." So less of those weekend one or two-day sales that everyone always went crazy for. Without those limited time sales, the urgency to go to Walmart goes away. Deals that you plan on having for 3 months+ usually aren't very good deals to begin with.

That is strange as I haven't had that issue at all. I've gotten emails for all new and reply PMs and the icon has shown up as well. I haven't seen it reported either.

We've never posted a Black Friday ad from them, so it was never a big day for them. So this seems like more of a PR stunt than any meaningful gesture on their part.

Yeah if you want to change your avatar, you'll have to do so with the "Import from URL" option. So just upload the image to Photobucket or imgur.com and then use the URL to get it to show up. The direct upload option has been disabled for security reasons.

Some updates on the BF shirts: 1. For the t-shirts, we're placing the order with the printer this week, so now that we have final numbers, we are limiting the number of each size that are available to order. So when you go to the ordering page, if a certain size is sold out, it will let you know during checkout. So if you are thinking of ordering, do it now before your sizes run out. Right now we have at least a couple of every size available with more for the more common sizes. 2. We're still saving shirts for giveaways so those will continue over the next 2-3 weeks but those will only be for sizes S-XL, so if you need larger sizes, order now! 3. The Teespring campaign for hoodies and long-sleeve t-shirts ends this Wednesday, so get your order in for those ASAP as well.

15% code (at least one of them) will be NOV15 (valid 11/23 to 11/27). I'm sure a 20% code will pop up as usual.

On page 3 of the toy catalog: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/MoreSales/TargetToyBook/3 Target announces free shipping & returns on all orders from 11/1 to 12/25

Will be great for all those cheap items like Blu-rays & DVDs in their BF ad.

Also just a reminder that the Teespring campaign for hoodies and long-sleeve t-shirts ends Wednesday: https://teespring.com/gottadeal1

http://i.gottadeal.com/blackfriday/images/logos/Amazoncom.png Time for another fun contest. We've got a $25 Amazon.com gift card to give away along with 10 Black Friday t-shirts. To be entered to win, just reply to this thread with a link to something on Amazon.com that you think would make a unique gift idea and post a sentence or two about what it is and what kind of person you think it would appeal to. The contest will run through Tuesday night at 8pm ET. At that point I'll randomly pick someone to win the $25 gift card and 10 more people to win Black Friday t-shirts. As always, if you've already won a shirt you can't win another, but you can try for the gift card. Also, you can post once per day during the contest (so up to 6 total entries), but please do not post more than once per day. Good luck!

They are different shirts this year. The ordering page has a link to a document with dimensions for each size. Compare those numbers with a shirt you wear to see how they compare.

Just an update - we're probably going to place the order with the printer next week. We'll still sell the shirts a little longer but we'll only have a certain number of each size left for orders at that point, so once a size is sold out, you're out of luck as far as ordering them. So if you are on the fence about ordering, I'd do it by Monday if you want to guarantee your size is available.

Yeah the forum is a little more process intensive compared to the relatively simple main/BF site. We're working on it though...
