New Coupon Database is here!

Once you get used to it it becomes second nature.

Oh, so it is a different format to keep us from getting the insert date confused with the expiration date. That makes a lot of sense. Someone put a LOT of thought into the changes.

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!! I am not only excited about what I can get from here, but I NOW see how I can help others with what I have to give away. I am so excited. Now I can share and not just take. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :T HANKS6::thanku 6:: dance3::hysterical 18::encourage6 ::encourage17 :: mademyday: Can anyone tell, I just found the rest of these, and was so excited to use them?????

I second this, lol. The new database is SO awesome! My havelist was so much work that I hadn't updated it in over a month!

Thanks to everyone who made this new database possible!

I absolutely LOVE the new database, and I can't wait to see the new features and changes that are yet to come.

The only frustrating things as it stands:

(1) Adding to the have list is MUCH easier than before - but easier still would be an option to select a set of coupons (oh, say, all of the ones I got in my 9/28 inserts) and use a single 'Add to Havelist' button to add a given number of each coupon with a single click.

(2) The Trading tab is AWESOME and has already pointed me toward some lucrative trade ideas. However, is there really a reason to keep this separate from the Wishlist and Havelist? It is frustrating to scroll down my Trade list and notice a mistake, then have to click over to another tab and scroll down to the same coupon in order to change something.

(3) I'd LOVE to be able to view only those items for which a trade is pending, instead of scrolling up and down my loooong list...

(4) Let me sort my lists. 'Nuff said.

(5) I want to be able to type in a username at the top of the Trading tab and see ONLY the match-ups for that user. How useful could that be?!

Anyway. Based on the posts I've been devouring lately, I know there are lots of improvements already being brainstormed. But that doesn't mean I can't have my own 'database wishlist'!

I don't know if this has been mentioned here yet or not. On the trades tab, I think it would be less cluttered if the items that no one else has just didn't show up. Only potential trades. I would also like to be able to sort each column in my trades tab so I can find something specific a little faster.

Overall, I am in LOVE with the new coupon database.

I also am greatly impressed with the database i always have sooo many coupon with good intentions of making lists but hate to di so specially with my computer and vista and it not wanting to always copy and paste ect, I made my list in no time flat, then got super excited when I saw how you matched up lists to other haves and wish! I am am going to be a trading queen!!!! the only thing I would add a this time is to sort my list I like things alphabetically and dont see that I can do that Thanks

Wow, this is really incredible. I can't even begin to wrap my brain around the possibilities - will start adding things right away!

I was just wondering if its just me or is clicking any type of link alot slower? Most I have to click 2 times before they will open. Any suggestions? Smileys are the slowest. TIA.

A few questions: 1) Is there a way to alert the member if a message has been posted on their lists? For example, I noticed a message was sent to me a day ago on my have list (asking for a trade) and I would have never known it was there had I not checked LOL! Is it just a matter of checking it? 2) I assume there is no way to put an "about me" section regarding trading (where I shop, whether I can use expireds, etc.). Is this true? 3) Closely related to #3, I also assume there is no way to put generic coupons that I am interested in, e.g., I'll take any product xyz coupons but I know of no specific coupons available. As I understand it (and it is a way limited understanding so far), I can only list specific coupons and not general wishes. Is this true? TIA, Holly

I have these same questions plus I was wondering how long the old HL/WL will be up? Should I only list my new coupons on my new HL?

Wow! I bet that's a server hog but it sure is pretty!

I wondered if there is a way to know from your coupon database exactly what page a coupon is on in the newspaper inserts. I have been searching on the internet for this hoping there is a way to keep the whole insert until I am ready to go shopping, and then locate it and clip it out when I need it. I have cut them all out before and catagorizing them drives me crazy
