Bobbie I can see more trading in my future now with this new feature instead of many of my coupons going to waste. :)

Can you post a link of someones have list so that I know if you are talking about thier have list post or thier have list permanate link?

Either way really you can go to your PM box and click send new message and enter in the members username to start a trade with them.

A lot of mine have different expiration dates than the ones already in the database even though they’re from the same insert dates. I’ve been trying to catch and report them when they show up as something different than what I entered. I’m not sure if this is a new problem or not; I never tried entering coupons before the new database.

I have reported this bug to our developer. Just report any ones that are wonky and we will get them fixed ASAP. I see that you reported some already and I tried to edit them and the exp dates are not changing over for me either.

Originally Posted by jkelstaten I tried that with about 4 different coupons with the same result. I uncheck the "have" box and it still asks me to enter a value between 1 and 100. Also if I end up with duplicates of something in my keep list, and try to delete one by checking the box next to it, it deletes all of the same coupon.

I have reported this as well to developer. You should be able to uncheck the box when adding and I am not sure why you cant. Issue with the removing duplicates from keep list has been reported as well.

Originally Posted by ldymcbth I'm having the same problem....whenever I have a coupon with an 11/08/2008 expiration date, it is automatically changing it to 10/31/2008 when I submit it. I have noticed that there are now multiple posts with the same coupon because of this issue.

See above...its a known bug. Just report any coupons that have the wrong exp date and we will fix them ASAP

Thanks!

The links to permanante have and wish lists are not working...this too has been reported. Instead use the Both link and haves are on one tab and wishes are on another tab till we get that fixed.

See other thread where I answered this for you

We will get the kinks worked out ASAP. thanks everyone for reporting these little things.

I can't add coupons to the database when I use Firefox 2 on my laptop (resolution 1024x768). The window pops up, but the bottom of it is cut off. When I scroll to try to see the bottom (and click the Submit button), the pop up window floats over the base window. The stuff on the base window scrolls, but the pop up window adjusts so that the top of it is always visible.... which means the bottom of it is never visible.

The Search by Store dropdown is incredibly slow. It took the system 30 seconds to scroll down to Target.

I have no clue on that one...it was tested in firefox but beyond that I'm clueless...but I have reported your stuff to developer.

Is there a notes section for your have list or wish list? I'd like to list that I want Pampers Points or Coke Points so that when others view my lists they can see that as well. Or will those have to be added to the database?

This new coupon database is AWESOME!!! I am definitely motivated to use it!! I do have one question - is there a way to filter to see only the items that a potential trader has to offer? For example, if they have initiated the trade, is there an easy way to see the other things that they have listed in the database?

What an AMAZING job you all did to make this happen!! I am so excited!!

If I type in the box, nothing happens, and I'm stuck.. I can't do anything. I have IE 7 tia

It's fixed, thank you!!



Also, I noticed that some are unable to change the expirations on coupons...


I just entered a Rimmel cosmetic product coupon. Mine was dated 3/31/09. I added it to the database, and chose the option to have it added to my haves list. Once I entered it, I saw it immediately add to the one that was already there, dated 12/31/08.

It seems like it's fixed...

any one getting error messages when in the DB...I am and not sure if it is me or the DB.

I need to post the following as well...

The supported browsers for the coupon database are: IE 6&7&8, Firefox 2&3, Safari 3 and derivatives like iPhone, and Opera 9.5.

As far as coupons being deleted when you have the same item in there twice, that is really related to the other problem (browser), in that you should never be able to have the same coupon more than once in a given list, you should get a message that you already have that coupon in your list. So if you have a coupon in twice...and delete it and it deletes them both for some reason, you will just need to go back and add it in just once.

I added this coupon:
Save $3.00 off any chicken, turkey or beef item WYB TEN (10) Rice-A-Roni or Pasta Roni Side Dishes. Found in Rainbow Foods Instore Specials from week of 9/28-10/4. Manufacturers coupon.


And the catagories list says "Catagory(s)" so I thought I could click on more than one..."Rice/pasta dishes" and "Butcher", but it looks like it only took butcher???
I dunno.
And in 'description' like above, I just typed exactly what the coupon reads, I hope that's ok.

Currently you can add those to your introductory text for forum posts. I will have to think about a way to maybe add them to the coupon database....

Right now you have to find thier have list. We will probably develop a multiple trade feature at a later date and I have some other ideas in my head on this as well.

Glad it is fixed...if there are other members with the same issue just shoot me a PM and I will fix it as soon as I can.

Is the expiration date thing fixed or is that still happening?

[billig]

I see you have a user manual now...I'll read that.
And my other problem about it not doing anything when I clicked on "3 months" was because the particular brand I was looking for didn't have any coupons that had expired in the past 3 months.
So that fixes that! lol
I LOVE the coupon database!
I can't believe you aren't charging us for this service!
I'll keep clicking on the ads and sponsor links.
Thanks
