 Re: Questions about the NEWLY REVISED Coupon Database - post them here....
Good morning (yawn, just woke up, not much sleep)  Just popping online to answer questions before I have to get my kids off to school.

Was this the reason for the survey on local store names awhile back?
One issue I discovered on the "Add" function — the pop-up windows for the help links can sometimes be hidden above the top edge of the browser's window. Here's what I did that caused it: - Do a search that produces many results
- Scroll down a little to see more of the results (doesn't take much)
- Click "Add" button
- Click one of the help links, e.g. "Source"
- Top of the pop-up (including the "X" (close) link is hidden. See attached jpg
Yes, scrolling up reveals the top, but it may initially confuse some users. Some of the smaller pop-ups can open completely out of view.
Please don't make the help pop-ups float up and down like the Add pop-up does. I really dislike that feature on web sites — I might be scrolling so I can view something else for a moment before filling in the form. It would be better if the top of the help pop up was initially at the same vertical position as the Add pop-up.
Conversely, if part of a help pop-up disappears because the user starts scrolling the screen, that's not a problem — they'll see what's happening and it will be intuitively obvious how to get it back.
Also, can the "Categories" selection box be larger (show more at a time)? That would make it a little easier to scroll through. Currently it's a little too claustrophobic for me. As it is, I think some users will have problems selecting multiple categories (accidentally removing or adding choices). Perhaps that list could be on a larger pop-up instead? Then it could even be a list of checkboxes rather than a multi-select scrolling list.
One other peeve — please change "Aldi's" to "ALDI". A few of the other names with apostrophes need to be tweeked too 
Thanks! | I will see if we can get those windows to open up differently on your screen, might not be possible but will see. The list for stores is based off the forums, so I might need to change the forum names if there is an error, if you would like to send me a PM with a list of the ones that wrong I would be happy to tweek them.

for the free item so it will not let me enter | Did you try again later? Could be the server was busy or something. Ill test it out today and see if there is something going on.
I will also see about making value not required, because you are right sometimes they don't have an "up to" value.

There is also a permanant link in the instructional text that you can include in your signature. I do not suggest that you use the link for your forum post (when you click the "update post" button it will create a brand new thread each time you click it and delete your old thread) so unless you want to change the link in your signature use your permanant link in signatures and whereever. As an example this is my link: Coupon Database

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and questions. |
