But how will you help those of us who have thousands of spam comments get rid of them? We need a MUCH better way to do this - like seeing ALL of them on one page and not having to click on them over 100 pages of comments, which can take many hours. I'd rather select ALL of my messages, then unclick the legitimate ones, and mark the clicked as spam. The current system is unwieldy. Yet one more thing that would have been improved long ago under 6A and which languishes under the new management.

FTP access to our files. or at least better access to the file manager, more than the current AWFUL interface, which was awful 10 years ago and is still unimproved today.

Better webfont integration please! No more hacks that have to go in 2 or 3 different places. You should partner with MyFonts like other services do, and have maybe 2 or 3 dozen webfonts available for us to choose from.
