Don't print in all caps -- that is interpreted as yelling.

When listing items/coupons for trade -- make it a list, not a paragraph: easier to read.

When listing freebies, special offers from companies, printable coupons; please do a quick search first to make sure the information has not already been posted. Use the SEARCH button at the top of the page and type in a key word. Do not check "Search titles only" - that will greatly limit your search and possibly result in missing a matching post.

Please make your titles as specific as possible~ it helps other members find your thread or keep from duplicating your thread

Never put the word "PRINT" in the title of your thread. For some odd reason, when you put the word "PRINT" in the title, the thread posts differently. One can read it, just can't edit it or reply to it.

Thanks Lynda...I got in the bad habit of typing in all caps when I had the broken wrist, it was so easy to do it that way. I'll try to remember not to do it anymore.

I am bumping this post b/c I feel everyone needs to be reminded of this:

Please, please, please do a SEARCH before posting offers.

Lynda, I would give oyu "thanks" a hundred times if it would let me!!

[lochelle]

another thing is I know i reposted something last week about Food Lion..well i typed in Food Lion..it didnt bring anything up..so i figured it hadnt been posted..then i saw yesterday that someone had posted it as FL..so could we also try not to abbreviate in titles?

[therbel]

I have also noticed alot of reposts and expired contests/ deals lately....... Please make sure you 1: check to see if the deal you are posting is still good, and 2: make sure it's not a repost!!!

This is great as I am Newbie in training.
I just need a training manual.
My silly Q of the day: Is there a basic list that shows one word topics?
When I do a search, I find that people may use a different name for the same subject area. So is this why posts are ending up all over the place?
Thank you as always for the help.

I don't know if I understand your question 100%.

There is no list of one-word topics. Sometimes the same offer can end up in 2 different forums b/c either one would work. Thus someone searches the freebie forum for X and doesn't find it, so she posts the offer. Another someone searches the Kroger forum for X (b/c the freebie offer is sponsored by Kroger), doesn't find it, posts the offer in Kroger.

This helpful. Thx.

Thanks for this info. I try to explain it to my 81 year old mom......and she just can't understand how you can be yelling if your only typing!!!

[crazed1969]

I do have a question. When listing in my wishlist, I'm not really looking for particular items since I have four kids and they usually attack the groceries like a hoard of starving locusts. Is it supposed to be specific or is saying that I'm just looking for food coupons in general okay?

Thanks, Lea

In my wishlist if it doesn't matter on the brand I put any. The ones I only want a certain brand I list what they are.

Snacks/chips-any
Tide or Gain laundry detergent

Hope this helps
