Plus, we have access to an unbelievable variation in supermarkets! Within 10 miles of me are: Giant Eagle, Foodland, Community Market, Shop N Save, Friedman's... And that doesn't include pharmacies!!

We've got a shopping Mecca here, so I think if there was a section of the board devoted to regions, rather than only store names, it would be easier to find what applied to us.

Thanks for listening!!

At this time we have no plans of adding state or region forums due to the cross posting that would need to happen. We like the deals sorted by store. But what we can do (and have done) is subdivide store forums by region. For example we had a request for Albertsons NW and SW regions. All you need to do is ask for a subforum for your store and I would be happy to add it. It is helpfull if someone says they want to mod it too so that it just is not sitting there empty. You dont have to mod it, we just dont want to create a forum and find that there is no activity in it. As long as members post thier deals we are OK with that.

Right now location is optional, but I could make it a requirement if others think it is helpful. I too like to be able to know what state someone is from so I know if thier deals will apply in my area.

I also like the idea of location being posted with the username. If I see something for a sale on someone's wishlist but I see that they live in CA, I'm not likely to even bother contacting them since I know the coupons probably wouldn't arrive in time. Also good to know when sending RAOK and you want to see if they can use a particular winetag or rebate. Just my 2 cents.

can I get a few other opinions on making location required? Yes or no weigh in.

MrsPinecone · 01-19-2007, 07:57:21 PM

Yes. Please. I don't think that making your state known is too much of an invasion of privacy.

State should be fine, I would think.

OK I have added the new location for user profile. Should be required. I dont really know what that means like, if you guys will get an email letting you know you have to put it in or what.

queenofthehivemomof5 · 01-20-2007, 12:57:50 AM

and crap its not showing...let me go figure that out.

adding the state is fine with me, would be a big help.
