I've only typed Machine Nation a few times into Google and it already feels a bit irritating. I prefer the way on P.ie you just click on the P.ie logo on the toolbar and it brings you straight there.

I was wondering if a similar system could be set up here. Is it easy? Would it be both costly in time and money?

It'd be nice as it would heighten user retention rates as the place expands, plus I like collecting toolbars. I like getting rid of some too. Deleting the Yahoo(curse be upon their name) one was a satisfying experience.

Auditor, EvotingMachine, would you be able to do it? It'd look good, I'm sure of it.

Not sure what you mean A-T.

Which toolbar ?

Is that not a setting on your browser? I have the name of the forum in the address box and I access it from the list there.

You are using IE I presume (vista?) and you have a quick-link icon on it somewhere that you click for p.ie or where ever?

( don't make me boot up vista, that hog..)

You mean

Home Portal FAQ Search Memberslist etc. ?

yeah - that's not it is it? you mean a handy link thing near the start button where you're there with one click...

Now that's putting it up to us - we'll have to get out the shovels and spades again EVM ...

Yeah, it'd be nice to have that sort of thing.

Surely there are websites where these things can be put together?

I don't even know the name of it !! But I'll find out and let you know. It'll be a good project although it's not possible to upload computer code to the machine we're on now (ask evm for details) so we can't control the cookies or anything as far as I know...

I wouldn't hold my breath

On the other hand you could make us your homepage !!

I could do that, homepaging Machine Nation would be a good one, though I'd have to let RTÉ.ie down easy, they'll be heart-broken.
