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

Is there a way to upload coupon data from a spreadsheet to the HCW database? I'm not asking for Joe User to be able to do it, just the Mods. What I'm thinking is that when I get a booklet of coupons, I enter it into my personal spreadsheet, then I post a thread about it, then I enter all the coupons individually into the HCW database. It would be quicker if I could enter it into my personal spreadsheet (formatted the way the HCW database is), then copy&paste it to a thread, then mail just that chunk of the spreadsheet to a mod to get uploaded.

We can do that already.

Can we get a section for Kohl's department store under the Big box forums? They have such great clearance sales it would be great to be able to look here so I don't have to drive to check all the time. Thanks!

Yes I can add a forum for Kohl's. If I can get PM's from 10 People saying that they want a forum Ill set one up. Its even MORE helpfull if I have someone willing to make sure the forum is not idle (ie a mod)

I did a search and didnt find anything on this subject. I would love to see a db where we could search for people in our local area or general area on this list where we could put special finds from different stores. I know not all stores in all areas mark down the same items.

Are you wanting a forum by state? Or just to be able to find members from your area. To find members from your state you can search the members list by state (do an advanced search on the members list)

Yes anyone can send me an excel spreadsheet via email (if you want my email address just PM me for it, I dont want to post it on the forum) and I can upload it.

I need your excel in CSV

I obviously should have asked this question *before* I typed in the 20-some Publix coupons I just got. :-)

I would like a specific place to talk about using coupons to benefit charity. Couponing for a Cause is what I'd call it. I do much of my couponing to help a food pantry in a nearby town and sometimes pet related causes. I'd love to share tips & tricks with others on how best to do this.

I would like to see some sort of a database of stores (with coupons policy info) that is searchable by city and state. That way if we are traveling to another state we can see what stores they have and know the policy and then look at the forum here and make a plan.

I am in favor of the state being posted. It helps with knowing if the Q can be sent in time and really is not a big privacy invasion.

Is there a way to make State show up in the user info of a post (like under user name or under join date) but NOT make it required to put anything there? Or have an 'Anonymous' option or regions for those who aren't comfortable with state? (Like 'West Coast' 'North East' and so on)

[SummerAnne]

Ok, this has nothing to do with showing the state where you live but, I noticed this morning that if you click on an active users name, you can see which thread they are reading. To me that is private, no one should know what I am doing in the site and be able to see what topic I am reading. Maybe thats just me, but I would say that is invasion of privacy. Does anyone agree?

I'm pretty sure that if you go into options and check "Use Invisible Mode" that people won't be able to see what topic you are viewing.

Having state is required upon joining if you dont want people to know...pick another state (dont pick AsSpam though..bad stuff happens when you pick that one)

We are still working on getting it to show up in the postbit.
