Suggestion Box: Post ideas you would like to see at HCW here.

It would be nice to have some extra fields in the database that would allow us to link to a PM to the OP if the OP has extra Q's for trade. For instance, there is a Sunny D q in the database that was "Found on an in-store promo table" I would love to have some of these if there are extras.

Of course, for inserts this might be not be necessary, but it could be really helpful for peelies, WT's and tearpads.

I will do a search to see if I can find them in a Have list, but it sure would be easier if I could quickly send a pm from the database.

Thanks

One of the things on our future to-do list is to integrate the havelists/wishlists in with the database somehow, so that you would be able to easily tell who had what when you did a search.

One thing to remember about your suggestion, is that the person who entered a coupon into the database isn't necessarily the person that found the coupon. Often times it's the mods that enter the information that has been posted in their forums. In other words, member X posted a blinkie find in the blinkie forum, but not in the database and then I entered the info into the database. In that case, I would not be very happy to be getting pm's from people wondering if I had any extras to trade, since it's not even a coupon I had in the first place.

Oh Goody, I can't wait.

Oh good point, I didn't think of that.

Well you could always serve as the "Make a Connection" mod and just keep a running tally of who told you about it so you could connect the searcher with the finder.

I have a suggestion :) Because actually I just had to double check if we had this or not.

I would love to see a calendar in the user cp somewhere - not one others could see. It would be great to be able to put reminders for ourselves especially for things like trades and coupon trains. I particularly wanted it to remind myself when to email manufacturers for coupons

Oh now that's a good idea. If we can't have it, then I think I'll start using Google calendar for that. Probably could put the links in the reminder.

Now your cooking!!!! Reps for that idea.

TY lol :) I must have put my head on straight this morning

I would like either all the members to punctuate correctly or the database realize the difference.
Example:
Uncle Ben's
Uncle Bens

Each will give you different coupons.
