These are all good ideas. We will usually vote on a list of possible enhancements and this will decide which ones we do first. I like the Calender idea. I think that would be an interesting project. These are just some ideas that I think would be cool in the future... they may be too much work but would be awesome.... I am new to sweeps and I am just implementing some ideas in my head based off what I do and what I track.
I think it would be nice to add the Sweeps Check to the expireds. Or add a new section of My Sweeps called "My Expireds" so we don't have to delete the long list of old sweeps that have ended from My sweeps, and we can keep track of our notes and when we entered last even after they expire.
Another enhancement which I think would be cool, would be if we had a custom calendar that shows us each day how many sweeps we entered that day total (example: One Times Entered - 12 ; Daily Entered - 4) and a total that we entered that are expiring that day (One Times Expiring - 20 ; Daily Expiring - 15). I say custom because it would be also nice to enter daily notes in there too.
Something I thought that might be nice too would be another category next to restrictions, limit, added, expires, and hits is a winner announced date. I like to keep track in a calendar of when they are going to announce the winner or call the winner for a particular prize (So I know to answer an unknown phone call, forward my phone to my cell in case I am not home or check my email and spam that day!) I like to be prepared.

I'd like to see the EReminder entry screen default to Days instead of Years for recurring events.
I don't know if this would be a good idea at present because we are trying to clean up the reminders because many people set them and forget them and we are sending lots of email to non-existent email accounts. We are also in the middle of adding a security code word to the form because we found out that it was being used to advertise other sites by spammers. |

I still like my idea of better ereminder defaults, as I'm almost always doing reminders for dailys and want reminder to start tomorrow. Having said that... had another idea that I haven't fully thought through but saw something similar on a couponing site that sparked an idea.... Basically, allow a user to maintain a For Trade and ISO list, where a link would appear under their avatar to show their trading list (and possible trading history). The For Trade list could include how much they'd want for it and from which sweeps it was won. Yes, there is the trading forum so I'm not sure how much this would add, but I liked the implementation I saw for some couponing site and thought perhaps if it was already a feature of the forum software....  |

Is it possible to make searches for posted sweepstakes sorted in order of when they were posted? I have a month's worth of posted sweepstakes to go through, and I can't see any possible way of just going through the last month's posted sweepstakes without going through all of them. I can only access the ones still on the new sweepstakes page.

Thanks! Actually, I now remember what the problem was. When I tried doing that, I was only getting the box for ascending and descending that day; but now the other box is showing up, so it's fine.

On those posted sweepstakes that are email entries, could we possibly have a link set up that when we click on it our email automatically opens up with the email address of the sweepstakes and the "Subject" line already filled out? It would make entering alot easier especially on those that are daily entries like "Week In Rewind".
Thanks.

I think you could get this going with Roboform. Does robo form not work for this? |

Not that I know of.  As far as I can see, I would have to save each web page to Roboform. Then each time I went to enter, click on each individual passcard, go to the web page, then click on the email link, fill out the required "subject", and "send". I do like to enter the daily "Week In Rewind" ones; but, as it stands now, I go elsewhere, pull them all up in a search, and go through the ones I want to enter by clicking on "entry form" and sending the email. I don't have to do anything else, and it's very quick and simple; all the above work is already done for me. |

I thought you were talking about the blog entries. Sorry about that. I don't think we could do that because these sites want you to visit them (view their site). If we coded a mailto: link for each one of these you would never actually visit their site. Eventually we would probably get banned from listing their promotions if we did this.

Dear GTB's*, I've noticed (to my anguish  ) that there is no section for topics about the actual forum site here. So, I will post this here. (I guess that making that section would be my first suggestion!  ) But my real idea is to have a link for "Show NEW Topics" put up in the upper left of our page right along with the "Show unread posts since last visit" and "Show new replies to your posts" links. There seems to be ample room in the format to insert that link. This probably would be of real use to a lot of users here. If it was there I could daily check ONLY the new ORIGINAL posts since my last visit. That way I could make sure I can catch all the new and exciting posts each day. It would enable us to skip through posts that are just 35 "congrats" posts. I do enjoy reading the "congrats" sometimes, but at other times it would be nice to skip to just new posts to make sure I catch all the new ones without spending an hour wading through ones I've already seen. No point wasting time that can be used for entering Sweeps, eh? (As one might notice, by my only 189 posts in 18 months, that I don't do a lot of "congrat" posts unless something "trips my trigger". I figure that at that rate I have only 86 months left before I get my 4th gold star!!! ) Maybe the GTB's might find it in their hearts to do that for us, their humble servants! Loren  *Gods That Be Just knocking this out once again! On the "home page" this is done as a "winner teaser" ... so I know that it can be done here. The "cut and paste queens" are drivng me NUTS! (every 9 months ... hmmm ... it must be a 'pregnant' topic with me)  Another item would be to make our preferences "sticky" from day to day and show the "comments" count area when we are using "My Sweeps" section at other than it's default settings.

I am having a deja vu type moment. But, I'm going to ask anyway. Is it possible to change the personal note feature so that it is accessible from the new sweeps page. That way we could add a note on day one as opposed to trying to remember to post the note the next time I come to it. Could it be tied in with sweepscheck or something?

It is possible. The initial thought was to limit the ammount of options in the category and new sweepstakes pages and to make the my sweepstakes area more comprehensive in terms of options. Let me give this some thought and we'll get back to you. Good Idea!

I hadn't noticed this, but another member just pointed it out to me. The forum header "Fun and Games" lists mostly threads whereas the topics have nothing to do with fun and games. Maybe, separate those into something like a header for "General Topics"? |
