The Q db works on my computers at work, but not on my home computer.
Any advice? A girl needs her database!
Love the site, keep up the good work.

| Re: New Coupon Database is here! I absoloutely love the databse! The idea behind it is awesome, I also think there are numberous places HCW could go with it aswell! I think ya'll cut a fat hog in the bumbum with this one !
However It is seriously slow to load for me, no matter what PC or browswer Im using. Which can be frustrating of course...so I findI generally use pm's to trade and I prefer the old lists in the forums to the Database for the most part...but Rome wasnt built in a day LOL Greatness can take time ! I am a patient person!
Thanks for the awesome site guys !! |

Thanks for the awesome site guys !! | My understanding is that with the new database, the ability to create your old type wish list will go away sometime in the near future. :sad:
I probably spend more time with the new database than most folks, but I don't know of another way to keep track of what I have. So here are the steps I take:
1. I go through each of my inserts and either select each Q from the database or add them to it. I put all of my Q's in my "Keep" list at first, with the number of each that I have.
2. Once all my weekly Q's have been added to my "Keep" list, I go through it and copy it line by line to an Excel spreadsheet on my computer. On my spreadsheet, I have a place to mark each Q for trading or keeping. Additionally I can sort it alphabetically by product name.
3. After I print my own personal list, I go back into my "keep" list on the database and move the items I wish to offer for trades.
4. I then file the week's printout and all the inserts in a folder for the week.
Does someone else know of an easier way to keep track of each thing?

Joanne | When you click on the coupon database, it will initially bring up five tabs: "Search", "Have List", "Keep List", "Wish List" and "Trades (Actual and Potential)".
If you are looking for a specific Q, use the Search List by typing in at least part of the name of the product. For example, the word "L'Oreal" will bring up a list of all L'Oreal products and where each Q was found, as well as other details about each Q. However, if you had typed the words "L'Oreal Haircolor" your results would have been much more specific, because only haircolor products from L'Oreal would be shown.
You can only print those coupons that have a link to the website where the Q may be found.
When you bring up an item from the search list, you have several choices as to what to do with it:
1. If you are going through your newspaper inserts, you might choose to add each of the Q's found in your inserts to your "Keep List" to build a list of what Q's you actually have.
2. If you have Q's you wish to offer as trade items, you might bring up a Q and save it to your "Have List".
3. If you find Q's listed that you don't have, but would like to get, you can save them to your "Wish List".
4. Once you build your own personal "Have List" and "Wish List" you can see them all at the "Trades (Actual and Potential)" tab.
5. From the "Trades (Actual and Potential)" tab, you can see who has the Q's you want. You can also look to see what you have that is on their wish list and try to initiate a trade.
The new database is far more specific than the old lists we used to type. There are other things you can do with the new db, but the best way to learn it is to start using it. It gets easier with practice.
Hope this helps you. :smile77:

| Re: New Coupon Database is here! you actually need to be a member of the trader or trader in training user groups in order to use the trading features of the database...more info here: Join the Coupon Trader Group
So you won't have the options for keeping a have/wish/keep list(s) unless you are a trader/TNT
Also we have no plans of ever making it a requirement to use the database for your lists. This is just an option. You can use it or not...up to you.
Progress has been slow on making some much wanted changes to the DB as we lost our developer when he took a new full time job. However we are in the process of hiring a new developer and hope to begin work this summer on version 3.0!
