not a pleasant introduction

This is BH. I find this site confusing and not well designed. I've spent 15 minutes now just trying to figure out how to verify my email and get started. Clarity in web design is vital to a user friendly e-environment.

welcome to smart canucks!!!

Welcome! I found it overwhelming at first too....it is a huge site with a ton of information...but it is worth learning your way around!

All you need to do is go to USER CP near the top of the page. Then EDIT EMAIL will show towards the left of the page.

Feel free to ask for help. Everyone is very friendly and very willing to help.

Trust me, I thought everyone on this site were crazies when I first lurked, and now a year later i'm a regular !
You get used to it, even I find it a bit confusing, but there are great helpful people here

Welcome to the board.

I lurked for a good time too before actually joining. Even then, there was a learning curve in terms of navigating around and finding things.

Don't get frustrated though! Ask for help or ask questions. There's lot of ppl eager to help on here! I found it easiest to start with one small section that interested me and learn my way around that and keep continually adding sections to my repertoire of knowledge.

i can totally relate! i was really stopping myself from posting something like this.. seriously.. i was really frustrated within the first few weeks because i can not find my way around this site! ..but now.... i can not peel myself away from my laptop because i might miss a deal!!! (which i have a couple of times.. booo-hoo!) soon you will realize that sc is addicting and very easy to navigate! i just cant imagine couponing without SC!!

happy couponing!

Ha! I lurked for about 5 minutes before I started mouthing off, but this site is huge. But there is so much information I don't know how else it could be. I've found the Search functions and subscribing to threads to be invaluable tools.

I just subscribed to the RSS and go through posts that way. The information when directed to though is completely invaluable I find. I've run across so many helpful people in the few weeks that I've been here, everyone seems very willing to help out and bestow their knowledge upon others which is fabulous. I'm in total agreeance with you about the navigation of the site though it's an awkward mess.

sc does seen to be simplistic to some, and a 'what the heck'
to others - i was in the 'what the he**' for a while.
if you have a question, click on the persons name, go to
anywhere - pm, etc.
ask away - quite likely they will answer

Once you get used to it, it will feel like second nature. I too lurked for a while before joining as the site intimidated me. I am still learning but love it here!

[MrsSunshine]

ITA. took me a LONG time before i figured it out enough to be comfy to join..and i'm very comfy when it comes to computers.. take your time.. ask as many questions as you like. "new posts' is your best friend.. the 'hottest' areas i find are .. brag... and Deals and flyers. you'll see. before long. you'll be posting in the 'brag' section too

Welcome!

Been a part of SC for 6 yrs now and check the site daily several times. Just browse around and become accustomed to it. After a while it will be simple to navigate :O)

Welcome to SC!
