Yeah, see the above comments about how these classes are different from the www.(ai|db|ml)-class.com classes. They're not quite the same thing (albeit, they're quite similar).
Why is this on the front page? There are so many problems...
What's going on here?
What are you trying to get me to pay for?
$50? $75? What's the difference? 5, and 8 of what?
Why can't I close this box once it's opened? (chrome)
"Send me your site link/description, first!" This link doesn't even work! (chrome)
I'm offering domain name suggestions for your idea/site. $50 for 5 suggestions. $75 for 8. Everything works on chrome on my end. I'm using goodsie.com to run the store.
What are you doing for $50 that I can't do myself?
He's finding 5 domain suggestions for your business in less than a half hour of billable time.
Perhaps that's not a good deal to you. As someone who's spent tens of (billable) hours finding domains for clients, it strikes me as an excellent value proposition.
I've been told by my friends on HN and elsewhere that I've got somewhat of a talent for suggesting domains; so I figured I'd try to see if people would pay for that sort of service. There's nothing really I can do about the browser issue other than email the service I'm using to run the site – sorry.
Thanks misuse! We are debating text over here. Text would make it easier to bot I think. Please don't bot this fellow HNers just because I mentioned this! :) Please! So a way to fix the bot problem here, is to force the optical character recognition to be the way to have to crack it. And Text descriptions would thwart that. So the purpose of hints is basically so you don't have to have text descriptions but still have a way of going over to the site to see prices. It's not perfect of course. Maybe the hint could be made a bit harder, like we send you to a search for "Macbook Pro" instead of the exact item. Thanks for the feedback on this and checking it out.
This still doesn't solve the problem of helping users discover what tags are out there. I didn't even know about tags like 'discussion' or 'support' until I read this post, and I wouldn't have thought about typing them in to see if other people are using them because they seem somewhat obscure.
The 'discussion' and 'support' tags only apply to the meta sites, not the main Q&A sites. When you post a question on a meta, you're required to tag it with one of four tags which help the mods/admins filter the purpose of the post - bug reports, feature requests, open discussion, and support requests.
If you've ever made a post on meta, this would have been made obvious since the tag input box comes prepopulated with a list of these, and the submission fails if you don't use one. If you don't post on meta, however, these tags are meaningless to you.
This is a bit off topic, but do you know a better resource than this w3schools page on Javascript and DOM? [1] I'm just learning now, and it's really frustrating me that I can't find a better resource.
I agree — I used to hate About.com, but I've found some of the subsites have some decent articles. I've found some decent recipe ideas on the Greek Food subsite, for example.
