Is this what you're looking for?

In other words, when does a coupon no longer qualify as not being recently added? There is a down arrow on the Added column, but it does nothing for me. What is it supposed to do? Is it possible to search for everything that is NOT an insert coupon without having to do multiple searches using the various sources? Perhaps using the Ctrl key to select multiple sources at once. This would be really nice to use in conjunction with searching by date added. I don't ask for much do I? (ducks from flying objects)

Recently added just means the newest 200 additions. If you want to search non inserts you will just have to do multiple searches. I do think sometimes people do ask for too much from the database. Sometimes you just have to make a few searches to find what you are looking for.

I don't know what the arrow is for...

Let me say first - I absolutely LOVE the database

So, this is my first time taking the time to cleanup expired coupons and it times out on me! I realize the db has lots of traffic and is most likely going to be slow so I'm prepared to be patient. I've gone thru to check off all the expired coupons (let me tell you - there were LOTS). Then I go to the top after checking them all off to click on 'Delete flagged" and nothing happens. I originally rec'd a message stating something to the effect that I had to flag something first (there were hundreds selected). I give it a minute or two to "catch up" and click delete flagged again and nothing happens. nothing. :hectic1:

I really don't want to go thru and do it all over again so I still have that screen up. I will leave it up hoping someone can help me !

Thanks

Another db question: Who posts all the coupons that come in the Sunday inserts? Does someone at HCW do that, or how do they all get in there?

Hi there

I'm new. How do I use the coupon database? I can see them but how do I request something that is there? I tried signing up for trading two times but got a message saying I was not able to join.

Hello, the coupon database is a resource that tells you what coupons there are out there. There are some manufacturer printable links that you can print directly from the database. Other than that you need to join the Trader in Training Group so that you can post in the trading forums:
RULES: Trading Forums: Share the Wealth - MUST READ

Once you are a member you can trade for coupons. You will be able to make a wishlist that lists which coupons you need for trading purposes.

I find that when I have tons of coupons in my have/wish/keep list that it seems to take forever to delete a bunch at one time too. My best suggestion is to do it in smaller batches of 20 or so at a time.

Is this what we are supposed to use for our wish list and have list now?

I fixed this problem by logging out of hotcouponworld, clearing the cookies, temporary internet files, etc., then logging back into hotcouponworld.

I am wondering this too...
