Default Re: Questions about the NEWLY REVISED Coupon Database - post them here....

Looks great! You folks obviously put in a lot of work. Looking forward to using the trading features.

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:
  1. Do a search that produces many results
  2. Scroll down a little to see more of the results (doesn't take much)
  3. Click "Add" button
  4. Click one of the help links, e.g. "Source"
  5. 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!

When trying to update my wish list I get the following pop up:

We were unable to create your forum post due to an internal error. Please try again later or contact an admin.
ETA: Under value could use a $2/2
ETA: I have a free x WYB y. When entering into database it insists on a $ amount, however, there is no max value stated on this particular coupon
for the free item so it will not let me enter

This is really cool. THanks!

Is there going to be a way to see other users wishlists/ havelists? or are going to have to put the link in our signature?
