I noticed it last night. I can access all the tabs in the database but I can't view anybody else's lists.

Yikes! My manual thread I has listed in the wishlist forum got updated with the stuff I had on the coupon database. A lot of stuff got deleted off the manual thread and now I have to redo it.

I am kind of feeling like the new coupon database has fizzled out. I have initiated numerous trades in the new db and no one seems to be responding anymore. No one has initiated any trades with me via the new db either. I still keep getting PMs.

Thought I would give the database a try again. I haven't been using it cause it loads extremely slow on my computer. I find it more time-consuming than just reading someone's manual list. I like the concept but it is too slow for me to load. Not sure why. i have DSL so it is not my computer. is anyone else having this issue?

I don't think that it has fizzled out, I just think there there are alot of people who aren't using it and so it's kind of the grandfathering deal.

I initiated alot of trades with people and they don't respond??

So, I went over to the trade board and they were saying I wish people would send me a PM ... So I did that. I still had people that didn't respond but I had more response from the PM than I did using the database. I love the database and think it would save alot of POSTING that is done on the other board. BUT ... There are some people who don't like change and I totally understand that....

I think if you want to trade you have to go out and find the people to trade with. I have just started in trading and have made ALL the initiations!!

I love trading with people and there is a whole lot out there to trade BUT you have to go after it. Sorry to say that is the way it goes pretty much!!

Have your DATABASE update then when you want to trade you can send those PM'ers over to your data base.

Maybe they will see how convenient it is and want to venture over...

The buttons "source" , "store", "category" etc are not working for me. What am I doing wrong? The title of the button is present, but the button is missing. I can not click them to select their value. For ex, I would like to choose "insert" from source and can not.

Actually, I can not use the database at all! I just tried typing in "ragu" and nothing happened.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a technical glitch or a trick I don't know?

I already tried clearing out my cookies and internet temp files.

BTW- FYI- I used to be able to use the new database, and now can not. I am not sure when it happened, but I have been unable to use it for weeks at least.

Please help!

I have had a couple of trades, that I initiated, through the new database. I feel like people are just very busy right now with holiday preparations. Hope it picks up after the holidays. Didn't I read somewhere that the personally typed wish and have lists will be eliminated after people get accustomed to using the new database?

One advantage is that the descriptions are far more detailed and consistent that the personally constructed lists.

This has been happening even before the holidays.

Even when people DID initiate or respond in the DB, I never got the notifications. I would like pop up notifications, like the way I have my PMs set.

I think you can expect a lull right now due to the holidays. I know myself I deleted my entire have list because it got out of shape durring vacation so I just RAOKed all my trading coupons and will be starting over in the new year. Also while I know that I promised multiple coupon trading feature soon...that has not happened yet due to time restraints with our developer. I am hoping we can get to work on that after the first of the year as well.

The database loads just fine for me so I know that it works OK. It could be your browser or settings. I do notice that it will load a bit slow at peek use times (if it is running slow for me I take a peek at how many people are using it and if there are gobs it seems to slow down a bit) Sometimes getting out of the database and comming back in helps with the load times)
