Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

If I book a flight on BA with points and choose to cancel the flight. Are my points forfeited or do they go back to my account?

If it's a domestic flight, your forfeit your $6 in taxes. But get all  your points back.

Good to know, Thanks!


ETA: Was hopeful, but we're not talking about the same thing.

He means 24 hours of flight, not of booking.

Best way to post pictures for a TR? I used to use another website to upload and then link to that but I forgot how and am wondering if that's still the best way to do it

Jury Duty: Nothing to do there but chill and write a TR. Kinda like the beach but missing the view and ocean breeze.

Any advice to how to remove the limitations on my account? I posted about two days ago and it's still pending moderator approval?

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Why are certain images not showing on the website for me?

For example: https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=100538.msg2794561#msg2794561 and this TR https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=135628.0

But some do show, for example: This TR https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=112000.0
and this one https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=134178.0
I'm guessing your filter blocks some of the photo hosting sites that are used here but not others..

If you right click on any of the images in the posts that you linked, open the image in a new tab and you'll see that there are different sites hosting those pics.

Thanks. The ones that worked are hosted by flickr and uploads.tapatalk.
The ones that don't work, it shows up empty. When I right click and open it, it's this link https://forums.dansdeals.com/Themes/default/images/theme/frame_repeat.png

Hi y'all,
Been lurking here quite consistently for the last few weeks. What are you guys using to interact with DDF? The native mobile site isn't really doin it for me. Are there 3rd party apps etc that are used. Looking specifically for mobile
Thanks
