Hotcouponworld's NEW Homepage is LIVE - Check it out!!!

[carisal]

Looks great to me, I use IE, no idea which version.

just wanted to offer a little editing advice on a couple things I noticed. nothing major.
-----------------------------------------------
We do this by matching (posting?) grocery store ads from around the country and match(ing?) them with manufacturer’s coupons to give you the best final price at the store.

Coupon Database: Manage your personal inventory of coupons, and then connect with others through our coupon database to initiate trades. With over 60,000 coupons listed in the coupon database, you’re sure to find someone who has the coupons you’re looking for! (with over xxxxxx members to trade with on HCW, you're sure to find someone......??)

I think, as the last MAJOR change, it will be something that some of us have to get used to...
I'm not very good with dealing with change, so it's a difficult thing to adjust to, but one that must be done.

I did get used to having the boxes on the right side of the screen in the forums, giving me access to my usercp, birthday information, and other things. Now I'm not quite sure where to find them just yet...

That said, I do like the homepage itself, it gives lots of information that I'd like, and access to things I don't normally find, so it's great for me.

With regards to the coupon database editing, I'm not sure that your suggestion would be as accurate. Yes, there are tons of members, but it's the coupons that are actually matched up, not the traders.. The editing that you've mentioned would work great for the forums, where you can search thru someone's lists, but the database only matches up traders based on the identical coupon listed in their lists, so the wording makes more sense that way, for the database.
Just my thoughts!

I have IE 6 at work too and have the jumbling problem mentioned a few time (I did not read every post).

I also have Mozilla Firefox version 1.5.0.2 and it looks great in that browser.

Not sure if it helps your programmers or not, but now that you put the redirect (with the home page visible under the redirect notice) to the forum page for IE6 and older browsers, before the page changes the home page is formatted fine. It displays the same as my Firefox browser.

Yeah, he's working to get things updated - should have a final fix by next week.

Can you post a screen shot of how you see it? It's helpful!

Two Word docs attached. One is a print screen with the redirect message and the home page being displayed almost correctly (tabs are in two rows). The other was a page save that displayed very similar to what we were seeing prior to the redirect.

And this is what it looks like now. Redirect message to forums, but switches to a good home page, but the redirect message is still visible at the top behind the tabs. Image and tab positions seem to have been resolved.

I like the homepage. Looks good. The only issue I have is with the tabs at the top of the page. If you are on the home page the home tab is gone...I understand that as that is where you are at the time and that tab is not needed.

But when you are on any of the forum pages the forum tab is gone. So it's not always easy to return to the forum pages. In other words when you go to your pm pages, etc...it still considers that part of the forums and so you can't hit the forums tab to return to the menu...You can in this instance find the address info at the top of the page showing where you are (Forum Navigation Box) and click on Hot Coupon World and be return to the forum menu.

But when you go into the coupon database there is no Forum Navigation Box and no Forums tab at the top of the page, as it is addressed as part of the forums. So the only way to get out of the database and back to the forums is the link at the bottom of the page, which I am not use to using so that will take some getting used to. Or you have to go to one of the other tabs so that the forum tab will reappear and then click on it, which is annoying having to go to a page that you don't want to go to.

So, would it be possible to put the tabs back where they don't disappear when you are within that tab's field or is it something I'm just gonna have to get used to? I can do that, I will just have to reprogram my mind to use the links at the bottom of the page instead of the tabs at the top. LOL

Thanks for all ya'll do for us on HCW. And thanks to your dhs and all their hardwork too.

Just an FYI...When I go to the homepage, the top banner is reduced in size...not as wide, so the Retailmenot.com box is covering up "the deals" in the logo.

One more thing. I was seeing the homepage with the redirect wording thinking that I had been redirected, but it remained on the home page and until I scrolled down (without clicking anything) I was bounced to the forums page. I tried it a few times and it seems like a longer then probably intended delay before the redirect.
