Slick site! It would be good if going back through the navigation history took you through the images you had viewed. Currently it just goes in and out of thread view.

Neat! Intuitive, no explanation needed except for the diagram of the arrow keys below. Suggestion: Add a timer to show people how much time they waste (of course, not everybody wants to see that).

We've got some pretty granular analytics on the site. It'll be interesting to measure how much people are engaging with it. We'll probably write a blog post sometime over the next few days regarding this if anyone is interested.

Well done. Kept me engaged to the last picture. A couple of observations though: The left-right keys still advance to the previous / next picture in the background, when the comments are in the foreground. Suggest that a left or right hides the comments as well as moving forward or back. I second the comment made elsewhere on pre-loading the next picture to save your users waiting for the load-time. How do I navigate…

Agree, this behavior was very unintuitive.

This site's really slick! Do you think you could add an auto-play feature so it'll be a slideshow? I've got two monitors hooked up and it'd be a good screen filler to have that just running on one screen.

reddit/imgur might not like that.
