A taste of what a changed Forum can be like

(so far it's been a really bumpy transition)

You can have a beta site side by side with the old one.

True.

I was thinking re: tinkering with mods/styles/themes rather than a full migration to a new system.

Looks horrendous to me.

Best thing to do would be to hire a coder/designer for the changes we want, like a responsive DDF that doesn't look awful.
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.

Update: they've been doing a great job and most things are cleared up! With the bigger picture in mind things can happen, it takes a vision which it seems doesn't exist here.

Are you referring to hyperlinks ?

Otherwise just copy/paste

Copy paste doesn’t give me a link just copies the address.

I would love to see a feature where I can check off a DDF post that is of intertest to me (same for a DDMS post for that matter).  This will help remind me to which posts or threads I want to respond or take some kind of action. 

Also, a geshmakeh feature would be if we could make a list with only those checked items.  Even better would be if the items on the list would be in linkable form.  Wishful....?

A favorite/bookmark feature would be great for this

Something like this mod
