    Any way I can use a domain I own with slinkset?

    Assuming you don't want to deploy it yourself and only want to point a domain you own to slinkset.com, then the answer is yes.

    Wherever you manage your DNS create a CNAME alias pointing the domain you want to slinkset.com. Then log in to slinkset and click "Settings" for the site you want. Go to the "Advanced" tab, put the domain in the "Custom Domain" field and save.

    Would you pay to be able to host Slinkset directly on YOUR site?

    I am a big fan of Slinkset, but think they are missing out on a big money maker. If they offered the Slinkset scripts for sale I would definitely buy a license right this moment.

    My suggestion is have two options - a single site license and a developer license for unlimited sites. I would pay a similar price something like this:

    $75 for single site license
    $175-$250 for unlimited site license

    I'd want free updates whenever new versions are released.

    Main reason I want to host this myself is more control and hopefully more locations to put advertising (besides the sidebar). Other reason is it seems that a Slinkset generated site would rank better in Google if hosted in this manner.

    So, I would pay.... anyone else out there in the same boat?

    :)

    I want Google AdSense

    I really want to run google adsense on my site, http://theregularpeople.com, in the sidebar, which I have... but since it's in an iFrame google can't really pick up on the actual content of the page. I've tried some workarounds without too much success as you will notice the ads aren't super relevant.

    There should be a better ad solution!

    Disallowing links from a domain

    An idea would be to allow a limited number of domains to be disallowed from a site. That is, users would not be allowed to add links from any domains in the list. (I believe hn disallows links from valleywag).

    The difference between a Public, Private and Editorial slinkset site

    Public - Any slinkset user can view, post, vote and comment.
    Private - Only people you invite can participate.
    Editorial - Anyone can vote or comment. Only the users you designate as editors can post.

    Google Webmaster

    You need to confirm your domain with them by uploading a specific webpage or meta tag in the header. Similar to the analytics code, all that would be needed is provide the webpage code or the webpage name.

    I realize I could unpoint my domain from here, but I dont want to have to do that. I think many people would appreciate this feature and its very simple! If you can't add it - could you manually help me out?

    Here is mine http://socialpreneur.slinkset.com/

    pretty boring hey - would love to make it look better. I will be adding this to my social community I am currently building. I wish the thumbnails worked because it would look so much better.

    A "best of" feature

    A page listing best <b>all time<b> threads.

    The page could follow the voting algorithm, and/or it could be admin selected.

    This is stuff users must see.

    Mailing lists use this trick. Newbies get pointed to archives to prevent reiteration.

    Another idea would be a personal "best of" list. It could be shareable too.

    Pre-load "roll over" images for arrows

    Otherwise there is a "blink" while the server makes the request for the new image file. There are other techniques to avoid this, but preloading makes the most sense to me.

    Site very S-L-O-W (periodically) (news.virid.us)

    Has anyone else noticed intermittent slow page load times? I'm getting 5-10 second page loads (but then it will go back to normal). This just started yesterday...

    Make the description text darker

    Any way to make the description text darker? Right now the light grey is a bit hard to read...and I don't see an advanced option for that text color.

    I have seen it done on other slinksets - I am wondering if I am missing where in the options.

    Need "Tags" or "Tag Cloud" Tab

    I think need "Tags" or "Tag Cloud" Tab is better and efficient,like the "Poupular" "Recent" Tabs in the web page.In that page has some "Tag Cloud" like and it can Click and list already tagged Links for one page.

    featured site designs

    I really like some of the design/css/ layout of some of the "Featured Sites", e.g.: news.thinkgene.com. Are those designs/ layouts shared with the community? If so where do I look for it?

    Thanks!

    User comments sorted in random order (features.slinkset.com)

    my comments on the slinkset features site (see the URL) appears in a rather non-intuitive order; when I'm posting this, the order is "5 days ago, 4 days ago, 3 days ago, 3 days ago, 7 hours ago, 5 days ago, 3 days ago, 2 minutes ago". strictly descending would be nice.
