Portable Ding URLs now available!

Through some ingenious detective work, curbcrusher has discovered a way to make your Ding installation portable even if you have the current version of Ding. The method is substantially more complex than the one described in the FAQ for version 1.00, and hardly anyone was able to deal with that one, so this one is not suitable for do-it-yourselfers.

Instead, in the spirit of FT, curbcrusher has agreed to respond to PMs requesting this service. When you request a portable Ding URL, you must affirm that this URL will be for your own personal and non-commercial use only. To get a portable Ding, PM curbcrusher and arrange a time for a short PM exchange. The procedure to construct a portable Ding is interactive, requiring information from an active sale accessed via your home Ding installation. So you need to be at that computer during a Ding sale for the exchange of PMs.

You will get a URL that you can bookmark for use from any computer, and a second URL you can use to update your list of preferred cities from any computer. This URL will be tied to your specific home Ding installation, meaning that it will have the same city list and that it will share the limit of 50 views per sale.

I thank curbcrusher for this stunning achievement and for his community spirit to help other FTers access Ding sales from work and on the road.
