Has anyone had any success in making suggestions to PBS beyond an initial acknowledgment of a suggested change?  Anywhere that they regularily list changes & improvements made to the system?  I thought that part of the deal when they started charging for memberships was that they'd be adding improvements.  Given that on top of a membership I pay for box-of-books it would be nice if they were a little more interactive with us with regards to these things.

For example, why can't Boxer swaps be listed on the transaction list?  Right now I've got a side project going that involves going back to old swaps, opening each book swapped for, and giving them a rating so they show up as a BIR.  If it showed up on my transaction list I wouldn't be spending time doing that.

Books purchased from PBS Market also don't show in one's transaction archive. Although it probably crops somewhere in various receipts and they do send email receipts.

Also wish that when you're looking at someone else's shelf for a Box of Books it allowed you to filter their shelf by "binding" like you can on a non-swap transaction.

A "change log" would be a great addition to the sites. Most online games do that when they update, and it's a good thing.

It would be nice to have a filter on the search page to filter out books on my shelf or books I've read.
