Apologies to those who were following this thread initially... I had some issues moving it around and needed to start a new one. Great idea proposed by Zxavion2 to add Ratings to custom views/subscriptions. In other words, set a threshold above which you'd like to be notified. We'll work on that. |
Thanks for the props, I still think that would be a great idea Keep up the good work! |
How quickly are the topics posted to their respective categories? Will I get emailed more quickly using this method or using the classic subscription service? |
Red for "Custom Views are currently available in modern" FW created Modern against the wishes of many users. If you want to only add features to the modern interface, then expect lots of red red red until we all defect to SD. PS: This is not a HOT DEAL. Shame on you. Just because you can (violate the forums rules as a moderator), doesn't mean you should. |
Would like to see the ability to include rating in to the subscription |
Are you guys also working on giving users access on posting thread with pictures and include attachment? like, rebate form? |

I could've sworn someone came up with this idea SEVERAL YEARS AGO, to keep a copy of rebate forms on FW site; and I think I know him.... Oh well, better late than never. |
SteveDuke2003 said:How quickly are the topics posted to their respective categories? Will I get emailed more quickly using this method or using the classic subscription service?Good question. Hot Deal topics take about 5 minutes on average to be categorized. So Custom View Alerts are not faster, but different. For example, watching the whole category of "toys" or "men's clothes" whereas neither might be in the title for topic alerts. Or... all the cool examples in my OP. With that flexibility does come a small price in time. |
Anything and everything that requires a "Modern view" will be ignored. |
aln said:Red for "Custom Views are currently available in modern" I'm sure you've noticed most new features have been added to both views. Custom View Alerts just couldn't be added to Classic since there are no Custom Views there. Please join the solution and tell us what it would take to meet your needs here: What would it take?. |
aln said:Red for "Custom Views are currently available in modern" Spare me. Some of us like the modern view, some of us don't. If you like the classic interface, fine.. You will have reduced functionality.. It is expensive to keep up a website and it is silly to do double coding to keep a minority of users happy. If you do not like the "Modern View" give suggestions to fix it, rather than threaten like a petulant child to go to other sites. (Which I have been to and found far more annoying than FW)
I think the moderators know that many of the people visiting their site go directly to the Hot Deals forum and announcements would have to be posted in Hot Deals in order to be seen. Thanks to FW for adding these new features, I can appreciate the effort it takes to help me find great deals. |

*cough* I still heard that "some" libraries still have microfiche readers for those who refuse to move to modern stuff... *cough*

hey footn200! Hope your trip / time off went well! To touch on the new add: GREAT! To touch on the posting in HD: GREAT (cuz you have the right to post anywhere you feel necessary to reach the most people)! People, give FW a break about "breaking rules"... its THEIR freakin' site!!! They can put ANYTHING they want anywhere... in order for you to see it! To touch on classic vs. modern: this MAY be the thing that finally makes me switch.... but ONLY after FW listens to all the suggestions, and addresses the INTELLIGENT ones, rather than ignoring MOST of them, and fixing the easy ones! *Tell Tim I said "HI!!!", and happy holidays to all the WONDERFUL people at FW (and FWF)... to include the people RUNNING the show, but never get to post (Admins, coders, marketing, advertising, and Facilities!).

oh jeez, give it up...why don't you all just start to crawl back in... The real question - where is a deal worth being alerted to anymore? ...just sayin'... |
