I searched but it looks like I'm the first to discuss this. Feel free to add your input! :)

There already is one on the right column of DD. Now we just want a link back :)

I fully agree with the OP. Wanted to suggest this change for a while.
It feels weird every time I have to type in dansdeals to the url bar.

I've got no idea how to code it.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Or you can just put it on your Bookmarks bar. I have it as my homepage as well but I (obviously) believe it would be beneficial to all ;)

Maybe we can start a new topic on ways to improve the format of the site and another for people who can actually do the work (just in case there isn't a topic for every possible conversation already  ;D ).

Can another tab be added at the top of the page in between the 'Home' and 'Help' tabs that would be labeled something along the lines of 'DD Home' or 'DansDeals.com'?

You could just edit your address bar from http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=31487.0 and delete everything before and after dansdeals.com.

Ha! I shoulda known I would have missed a forum for this discussion somewhere  on DDF!

Still: ...another for people who can actually do the work... to help with Dan's issue on how to 'code it'

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

@Dan I remember reading you can take away the SMF sign in the top right. I think you can replace it with your own logo. If I have free time I'll ask on SMF forum if that logo can be hyperlinked...

Why are all the options in the poll phrased as questions?
@Dan I remember reading you can take away the SMF sign in the top right. I think you can replace it with your own logo. If I have free time I'll ask on SMF forum if that logo can be hyperlinked...
If that were possible wouldn't they make the standard logo hyperlinked?

I was thinking of having some sort of RSS feed on the top bottom or side of DDF with the latest posts on DD.

I'll try to replace the SMF logo with the latest posts of DD later today.
