1. Easier access to specific deals say airline or Amazon etc.

2. Make sure not to cluttered.

3. Responsive design ( adjust layout based on browser width.)

Would nice to have filters
Or maybe separate columns for certain categories.

So cc or info post stay top right
Amazon posts top left
Misc post middle column

I personally don't like TPG's new look but I do think it's high time that DDMS got a face lift, it's getting ridiculous at this point

How hard would it be to show how many unread posts were in a thread.
So instead of just seeing 'NEW' in the orange rectangle, it would show the number of unread posts?.

I do agree with you, but the end of the day, it's "quality" that counts...

You should update the forum rules. I noticed that one of the forum rules states (in bold)

Quote
-Links to competing sites are not allowed.

I think we've all posted links to competing sites and therefore violated this rule. Also you might want to add a rule about not posting anything illegal (credit card and insurance fraud etc)

just like all the threads are put into categories (like up in air, credit cards, deals), it would be nice if they will be further sub-divided (like in deals, all amazon in it's own thread).

We need a way for non-mods to remove words like HOT from a thread that is weeks old. We don't need to see that when people are reporting delivery of the item weeks or months later! Maybe through a certain amount of Users "voting" to remove word?

Others have probably complained about this in the past but I am not even searching for it.


ETA: I am not even going to bring up the idea of doing the same for posts that the HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! is unwarranted from the beginning.

Until I got this message today, I hadn't paid attention to the missing lock on the URL bar next to forums.dansdeals.com.
The lock on Firefox means that the site is secure. 

I get this message every time I log on now:
Firefox will display a grey lock icon with a red strike-through in the address bar, when a login page you’re viewing does not have a secure connection. This is to inform you that if you enter your password it could be stolen by eavesdroppers and attackers.

They recommend: If a login page for your favorite site is insecure, you can try and see if a secure version of the page exists by typing https:// before the url in the location bar. You can also try to contact the web administrator for the site and ask them to secure their connection.

So how secure is our forum site?
