Amberlab, I PM'd Boo as you suggested about my non-receipt of the Sears Win (forum win for the daily contests)... PM'd him twice actually, haven't heard back from him.

If I don't hear anything, I'm going to stop asking and just call it a day. I'm beginning to sound like a broken record. :)

Would it be possible to make a new tab that has the how-tos, as well as a current list of moderators. At one point, I needed some help & tried to pm a mod, only to have no response. It wasn't until a few days later that I found out the individual I was trying to contact was no longer acting as a mod (the list I found was out of date).

I suggest a tab, as that way it would be very visible & easy for all to find (even foolish ones like me :P).

If you scroll to the bottom of any forum section you'll see the list of people who moderate that section

err ... nevermind lol ... they ARE out of date ... haha ... there you go Boo another good suggestion ;)

Maybe the site could do with a good spring cleaning!:biggrin::cheesygrin::biggrin::cheesygrin : (just don't ask me to clean!!!)

I appreciate all the work you put in to making this a great site :-) .If I could improve something it would be to separate the contests into daily , weekly , one time , etc.

This site is particularily good for contests.Lot's of people posting all the time.But when the contests are all thrown together it's really hard to see what's already there , and you tend to miss some ( and get re-posts of the same thing ).If you want to enter a daily you almost have to keep it on your own computer faves and forget about using the forum for that purpose.I 'd love to see a more orgnanised contest section.

Thank you Boo , I love Smart Canucks :flowers:

I understand that mods are busy, and probably get tons of PM's but after waiting awhile and not getting a reply.....

I love the site!
The search for a new topic doesn't work as good as it should though. Not sure how it could be polished up...but, often posts I have put we already posted, or show up again etc. Kind of discourages me from posting new contests.

Perhaps more categories for posts...? Not sure, again, how to make it a little more refined...or to keep repeat posts from happening. ????

OVERALL great site tho! :)

Also, I think hundreds of thousands of pages for a topic (i.e. which contests have you won?) should be cleaned out and limited.

just ideas!!! not complaints, whatsoever!

Good idea.. because I have a feeling what will happen (as in the past) is that some recommendations will get approved on here.. but, whether they're actually ever done is another matter entirely. i.e. they'll be forgotten as time goes on. (my 'User Notes' suggestion.. :neutral:)

Yes, there is. I posted this a couple days ago but I think it got lost in the fray. I would really like to know if this could be done. thanks,

"My wishlist on my "about me" page keeps getting cut-off at the bottom. I'm assuming there is a certain number of lines allowed and I'm going beyond it. I woul like to see the line limit doubled. The more items u have on your wishlist the easier it is for trades

that is a very small complaint though for a very fabulous site. I love Smart Canucks!!"

Boo actually did address that and asked you to try it again. He addressed it in his long reply after most of the drama was over.

Is it possible to have the time in between searches lowered? Right now it is 25 seconds and while that doesn't seem like alot, I can't tell you how many times I have tried to search and I get the message "you have to wait 25 seconds between seaches, try again in _____ seconds"

Thanks! Great site, BTW.

I think my original post got lost in all the DRAMA last night, but can someone answer this...is it possible to shorten the wait time between searches?

The wish list box might be longer now, but it's not big enough for me yet :) I have mine alphabetized and it's getting cut off at the D section!

My point is that I hope things that get addressed/approved will actually be implemented. Because in the past.. well, you know.. :neutral:

All I want to say is make the gifts cheaper so that NS will buy me one!! She calls me her friend, well sometimes, but she never gives me gifts! LOL

Keep up the good work Boo.

Oh and ya, I would really like to see a photo of you wearing that cool SC tee shirt I made you!!

What do you all think - Should Boo post a pic of himself or not

Yeah, that's why I usually just leave a link to my wish list in that box instead of the whole list :) I like to have a long list because it's easier to work out a trade, but I guess I am looking for too many things (or have too many restrictions, but there's no sense in someone offering me a coupon I can't use).

I second this.. the mods list for each forum needs to be updated. A few times in the past when koala was busy and I needed to talk to a mod about something in the Contests forum.. I PM'ed a few of the other six (6!) mods that are listed.. and I got a reply back saying that the Contests section is only modded by koala and koala alone.. :icon_scratch: :confused: :icon_scratch:

koala is the only Contests mod.. yet 6 others are listed? :shrug:
