Great news... we now have new versions of the toolbar available for both Firefox and Internet Explorer. The biggest improvements in these new versions is an improved "Not-for-me" Menu. In prior versions of the toolbar, there was just one thumbdown option, but in this version you have several ways of saying why you don't like a site.

How to use the new Thumbdown Menu
If you aren't interested in the content, you can continue to click thumbs down as you usually do. You'll start to see less content like it. However, if you actually do like the content but want to let us know it is a repeat stumble (ie, you've seen this funny picture before on a different blog, and don't need to see it again) you can click the arrow next to the thumbdown and select "Stumbled this before" to help us stop showing repeats . Alternatively, if you haven't seen this content before, but are seeing too much of this type of content (ie, I generally like cat photos, but I've been seeing too many of them lately) select "Too much like this lately", so we'll know to decrease the amount for you.

And last but not least, if you stumble upon a website which you really don't like, and you don't want to see any more pages from it ever again (ie, somebadblog.com), select Block this Domain from the thumbdown menu and we'll stop showing you any content from that site.

Using these new thumbdown options will help improve your stumble quality as well as the stumble quality for everyone else in the community. So please exercise your thumbs using these new options
