How do you know DNA when you see it ?

Hi whoami
I envy you your youth and your computer skills.
I've dropped in here because you posted to the Remember DNA thread.
Whilst I am a strong advocate of DNA I must confess that I am not entirely sure how you identify when it is being used. I do know that as far as I'm concerned I like conversing on the DNA sites far better than I do on Message Boards.
Looking at h2g2 : 360 : and BotF I can see a strong similarity and have no real problem 'lurking'.
SofP sites,Talk London and Buffy are another matter. I would be grateful if you could tell me what aspects of DNA technology have been utilised in their make up.
Ancient Brit.

Currently, all DNA sites have /dna/ in the URL of each page. Apart from that, I go on logon recognition and Forum-under-Entry layout. That and I'm part of the BBCiTesters group, so I get to play with all the new DNA sites prior to launch.

I know what the current and under development sites are, because I'm told or I find them. However, say there was to be a site that I missed, I'd know because the URL would be
http:// www.bbc.co.uk / dna / sitename (spaces in to prevent formation of broken link)
And by the way it looks and works, I suppose.

I'm a bit disappointed Whoami. I thought you would have come up with some solid technical justification for the employment of DNA technology.

"I thought you would have come up with some solid technical justification for the employment of DNA technology."
That's it, I'm afraid. I'm no programmer. I know how DNA works in as much as I've been using it and its ancestors for two years.
Otherwise, I don't know of any 'secret trick' - but my method works well so far.
