DansDeals will be under maintenance through 7/7 as we work to move over and improve our new site.

The DansDeals Forums should remain up throughout the transition.

You can access the legacy view here: http://www.dansdeals.com/all/

More features are still being added to the new site and the legacy site.

Thanks for your patience and all of your feedback!

    Dan, I really think it would be a great idea to make the comments section darker. White is too plain and makes it hard to read the comments. Also, it would be a good idea to make the “Leave a reply/comment” section on the bottom (after the last comment), as opposed to making everyone scroll back up after reading through comments.

  2. Shmooz

    Nice new site. But since the change over I have been banned from using the forum. Can you assist?

  3. Javan

    Nice improvement. Larger Fonts please or at least greater contrast. I don’t mind scrolling, if I can see what it says quicker.

  4. Naphtali

    Nice new site. Dan just saw your brother live on the Baked Alaska youtube stream on July 4th. He gave you a nice shoutout!!

    Looks awesome. How about HTTPS?

    • AKGH

      What exactly on this site requires ssl?

    The new site is great! Obviously it will take some getting used to the new look… I’m from the biggest haters of change but this change seems. The new mobile site is a huge upgrade.

    I do think the comment box should also appear at the bottom of the comments like the old site. It’s frustrating to need to scroll all the way back up after reading all the comments.

    • Suave

      That’s a very good point. Thanks.

    • Announames

      yOU CAN JUST CLICK THE “hOME” BUTTON ON YOUR KEYBOARD WHICH WILL BRING YOU ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP.

  7. Googwallet

    Nice job. It was long overdue.
    Awaiting the upgrades to the forums

    Looks great, Dan! Mazel tov! I know a ton of work goes into creating a new site. Years ago, I decided that embracing change makes life easier. Why waste energy fighting something if you cannot prevent it from happening? Obviously, I mean for things such as technology. Learning new things and new ways is good for the mind. The group will help each other learn to maneuver through the site, and it will feel like home again soon.

    Looks great, but I dont like the nav bar on top that opens when move mouse over. Is dizzying. Id rather click on it to open.

    Thanks tons Dan / JJ and all the others involved for the massive reconstruction of the site, it looks amazing and beautiful, and a special thanks for all the nice little features you implemented for our convenience, we can see how much thought and planning went into designing it.

    (although I’m used to the old site, but I’m hopeful i’ll get used to the new interface as well)

    one question, where is the settings icon that was on the beta site? will it be back?

    • Dan

      Thanks!

      There are lots of little features that we’re still working out the glitches on, including the settings icon. Stay tuned 🙂

    Love the new site.

    Anyway to have the comments numbered like the old site? It helped (well, me at least) when coming back to remember which comments I hadn’t read yet.

    Can’t believe what a smooth transition it was to the new site. Yasher Koach!

    • Dan

      Thanks!

      I’ll ask, but I think the issue is that now that there are nested comments like this one, it will make the numbering rather confusing and all over the place.

  12. yehudis

    Looks great! Fabulous logo. hatzlacha Rabba – thanks for all the wonderful deals and ideas.

  13. Shaul

    I’m having trouble accessing the legacy site from a PC.

  14. AKGH

    Dan, you put a nice delay in for the Credit Cards menu on the desktop version, but that delay also needs to be added to the Dans Deals Forum menu. Good job on incorporating everyones suggestions!

  15. Simon

    Looks too similar to other deal sites

  16. Excited!

    Beautiful site! I will definitely start coming here more often I hated the old site!

    Thanks!

    • Dave G

      Agreed, finally brought the site out of 2005 to 2017! Great improvement, loving it all around!

  17. Sol

    Nice website, very cozy comfy. Good luck!!

    • dreon

      new site reminds me of the black Friday sites that pop up.. good luck

  18. Chaim G

    One issue I found when using the mobile site. Sometimes I read a bit of the post and then want to go straight to the comments. Since the font is much bigger than the old site there can be a lot of scrolling (for a big post) to reach the comments. Perhaps a way to change font size?

    • Suave

      Look for the comment icon after the title

      • Chaim G

        Oh tx. I didn’t see that before.

  19. Irving

    Dan, I love your work and I greatly appreciate it! I wish you good luck! but I miss the old look…

    Koi Lechoi!

      • Chaim

        It’s not the same I wish we would still have the option to go to the old view.

  20. Chaim

    Very nice new website, however I’m used to the old site.
    Can I still acces the old view?

  21. skepitkal

    you better start posting more deals daily if u want us to adapt to this mess.. that includes SATURDAYS!. I dont know what $$$ u get out of this but there are many other websites that i found that do what u do… its a business, adapt and improve and go bigger or fall into obscurity. u have been warned! i dont like this display, prettier but less informative

    • joseph

      It’s a free country…..you can browse whatever site you want……
      Dan has been going at his pace and most people are happy with his way.

    • Mendy

      Thanks dan! You are awesome!

  22. Mord

    Using a Samsung galaxy s3. In comments can’t open the full comment that are extra long. Hope this helps.

    • Dan

      I turned that option off, let me know if it works for you now.

  23. Eli

    The large fonts were really annoying. Looks like they were resized which is great because I can take in lots of info without constantly scrolling. Legacy view (mobile) looks like it still has those huge fonts…

  24. Pjhhu

    There are a lot if things that needs improvement.
    1 of them there is no choice to access DDF from the mobile site

    • Suave

      Check out the mobile menu… On the bottom..

  25. jak

    Mazel Tov Dan!
    Ad meah v’esrim and beyond!

  26. yankel

    i think comments should be sorted the other way where newer comments are at top.

  27. Yankel

    Good morning

    It’s really nice. need some small improvement.

    Thanks Dan with a lot of Hatzlacha!

  30. uman

    Dan thanks for all

  31. Shmuel

    There’s always Twitter, Dan!

    • Bsimcha

      Is there a way to undo the legacy view?

  32. legacy view

    Hey dan new site looks great. Will my browser remember my legacy view setting or will i have to re do it everytime?

  33. Yehuda

    nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! dont switch!!!!!!!!!!!

  34. ly

    What do you do if elal has tickets for $300 at 5pm?

  35. Davidthebest

  36. Eli
