Open Source!

I decided to make EDS open source and appeal to EDS's users for a new form of fix/feature request: actual code changes. The code which lists the websites and parses their links is present on github now:

https://github.com/lwerdna/EliteDealSeeker-Core

If you want a website listed or fixed or even a new category, just modify the code and send a "pull request" to me and I will integrate your changes into EDS's code. I wrote more on the topic here:

http://elitedealseeker.com/open_source.html

Please comment; I'm curious to know if anybody would be actually interested in working with me like this.

Normal reports of broken links/sites are still invited, of course!

    Think Watchuseek links are broken. They recently upgraded the forum software and I don't think EDS is seeing it now

    rolexforums.com is doing some weird stuff:

    HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
    Server: nginx
    Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2011 10:52:04 GMT
    Content-Length: 0
    Connection: close
    Set-Cookie: cDRGN=891958777; path=/
    P3P: CP="CUR ADM OUR NOR STA NID", policyref="/w3c/p3p.xml"
    Location: http://rolexforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9&drgn=1

    If I then try to go to this page, it redirects me again to the same page but with drgn=2 - if I follow that, then it's 3....

    If I make repeat back cookie cDRGN=891958777 then it works.... so it's fixed now
