Hi,
Welcome to AFC!! Please make yourself comfy and jump right in.

A Full Cup has launched a NEW and IMPROVED version recently and everyone is adjusting to all the great new features. We're all learning our way around together , but please allow me to point out a few things that you might find helpful...

Up at the very tip-top of the page, on the left-hand side, there you'll find...

Your Username ~ when you click it..it'll take you to your personal profile page.

Settings ~ when you click this..it'll take you to the page where you're thank you's and reps are listed. It also gives you access to your control panel, networking, settings & options, private messages, subscribed threads, moderation, miscellaneous, your notepad, and blog.

Inbox ~ this takes you to your Private Message page (this is basically the AFC version of in-house email).

Update (this only appears when you have a new message in your Inbox or on your profile page) ~ it will have a number next to it too. This will allow you see how many messages you have.

Logout ~ pretty obvious what this one does.

At the bottom of every page, on the left hand side you will find "Acronyms and Terms used here". If you see a term or abbreviation you are not sure about, you can click that and it will help you find what you need to know.

To see all the new chatter that is coming in for all the forums, you can click "Forum" (this is found at the top of the page, on the left-hand side). When you click this, a little box will scroll down and give you a little list of items to choose from. Click "New Posts" and it will show all the newest threads for the forums as they are submitted.

Giving/Receiving "Thanks" or "Rep" is a fun feature here at AFC. If you see a post that has inspired you, helped you, or given you a moment of pause , you can click the "Thanks" button (located at the bottom of each post; it's blue with a little gold arrow picture) this will insert your username at the bottom of their post. This lets them know you appreciate their post. OR If you would like, you can click the "Rep" button (located at the bottom of each post; it's blue with a + sign picture). When clicking this you're given the opportunity to leave a small comment, telling the poster what you appreeciate. They're both a way to show your appreciation, but you can only do one or the other..not both. So, when you see someone's username listed under your post..you'll know you've been "Thank'd" and your post is much appreciated.

Wishlists: Most of us come to AFC in search of coupons. One option available to help you find coupons is to create a Wishlist.
To create a wishlist you will need to first go to this thread: http://www.afullcup.com/forums/wishlists/
Here you will want to create a "New Thread".
A new page will open, and it will display an area to create a post...for your specific wishlist. Be sure to use your Username in the title so everyone will know it's your wishlist. It's also a good idea to list what form of trades you'll accept too. For ex. will you except paypal, stamps, other Q's, etc.? Another good idea is to put on there for them to PM you. This will help them to know that you do not always check your wishlist thread and they can reach you more quickly through a PM.
Once you've completed your list, and you can go back and edit it at anytime, you'll want to click "submit new post".
Okay, so now you've made your wishlist and want to have it show up under your username. While your wishlist page is open, go up and copy (right click on your mouse) the url address for your wishlist. Once you've clicked copy, you'll want to go to "Settings" (found at the very tip-top of the AFC page on the right-hand side). The Settings page will open, and on the left-hand side you will see lists of options avaliable. Look for, and click on "Edit Your Details". A new page will open. Scroll down the page to where you see "Wishlist". Paste the URL address you copied a few minutes ago there. Click "Save Changes" and viola..you have a wishlist that everyone can access and see under your username. Please holler if you have any questions.

You can find more information & help in using/maneuvering AFC by going here: AFC 101 - Grocery Coupons & Deal Forums - A Full Cup

If you have any questions, just holler. We're so glad you're here.

Hi Michelle,

I have selected a few printable coupons from the database but they wont print? Any ideas? How do you access the ones that do not say "printable"? sorry... I am having a tough time?

[qpedo]

thanks for the tips....qpedo

[monica]

Ivon - the coupons that are printable will have a bold title - you can just click on that title to print them - this will often direct you to another site to do so.

The non-printables are not ones that you can "get" from AFC - it is merely a listing of available and current coupons out there. You can put these on your ISO (in search of) list and try to trade someone else here for them.

HTH!

thanks for the post!

[haydonna9]

I have been here a few times and thought I was learning my way but I have to admit I am still a novice. I shop at Walgreens, CVS, HEB and Randalls as that is all there is-live in remote area and not a lot to choose from. There is Super Target that just opened so yeahh for a little variety. I love this site and the great tips.

[zebralady43]

I'm a newbie, I'm not sure how to go about getting my coupons? Thanks for any help
